The Dungeon Siege website holds a new mod spotlight. It focuses on 'The Kingdom of Wra'.
Here's a snip about the background setting/story:The Kingdom of Wra is far to the west of the Kingdom of Ehb, far from the troubles of the Plain of Tears, but is not without evil. The Kingdom was forged during ancient times using an array of immensely powerful artifacts. Several centuries passed and all was quiet in Wra. The people were content to live their lives in peace. In the year 517PP, everything began to change. llythiiri, one of the wizards of the Grand Council, had uncovered the artifact known as the Amulet of Nequam from a millennia old tomb far from the center of city, and had taken to wearing it. Unknown to the other wizards of the Grand Council, the amulet was slowly corrupting him to its purpose…a purpose that would bring devastation to the lands of Wra.
Four years have passed, and the drought caused by the power of Ilythiiri has become worse than ever before. You live in the smallest village, which lies far from the inner city Naut-Elghinyrr, and your people are dying from the drought. The village can no longer support itself, the crop harvests are poor, and there are no traders remaining that dare travel along the treacherous trade routes. The people who have raised you, taught you, and fed you are suffering. |
