The World of N'oen:
The known world of N'oen consists of a single continent roughly the
size of Ireland and Great Britain combined. Technology is about equal
to that of Europe in 1500 A.D. Civilization is made up of feudal
kingdoms and city states.

N'oen History:
A pandemic of Silvern Wrack, a fatal disease striking hardest in
adolescence, has decimated N'oen population. City dwellers were hit
hardest, unaware that living in close quarters in centers of trade
and travel helped spread the disease. Three out of every four died.
Few children survived to adulthood. Small settlements and isolated
societies fared better.

The Silvern Wrack destabilized the traditional social and political
order of N'oen. Disorder, fear, and death and soon led to depressions
of trade and agriculture, adding hunger and hardship to the pandemic.
Wars broke out as existing powers, good and evil, struggled for
control of food resources or seized opportunities to settle old
scores.

The largest and most powerful societies-- now consisting of the old
and the young, with few adults of middle age-- slowly faded and
crumbled. The Silvern Wrack receded, unable to spread with so few
left alive to carry it. The wars ended, with so few left to fight.
The dark age of war, disease, and famine had erased the old borders
of power and politics in N'oen.

The Present:
The surviving rulers of N'oen, divided and weakened, now face the
chronic problem of depopulation and widespread anarchy. N'oen is full
of deserted places, from city, to keep, to battlefield, where none
have set foot in years. Some are still littered with bleached bones
and unburied corpses. Warlords, bandits, evil creatures, and other
persons of power have seized control wherever the old rulers are too
weak to drive them out. Walls and pikes form the borders of most
towns and cities, where even good people mistrust outsiders, fearing
new outbreaks of disease, or infiltrators from rouge powers.

Warlife:
Powerful rulers-- desperate to repopulate their ranks-- have taken
drastic measures to defend themselves and restore goodness to the
world. They often dispatch practitioners of magic to the cemeteries,
where the honored dead are given life again. These selected few,
chosen from those killed in battle, came to be known as "warlife,"
named for the reasons they died, and the roles they were brought back
to serve.
