The god who created Avernos has been forgotten by all but a small, dying sect. As evil spreads from the Abyss, so too do lies spread throughout the heart of man. Lies that mask our coming doom.
These are the final days of Avernos. It is time to choose a side.
The Dark
Foul demons and beasts spill over the Jaws of the World, bringing war, pain, and death. Meanwhile, cultists and dark beings spread lies, subtly undermining the foundation of society with sloth, greed and lust. War, deceit and malice are a cancer that claws at the failing heart of Avernos.
In Bastion, the great castle-city of humanity, none shed a tear for the dying. Far from the war and grief, bound by false oaths and corrupted hearts, the city slowly eats itself from within. Those who learn the truth disappear, leaving silent corridors and not a word of warning.
The Light
The world needs messengers. Heroes who will risk it all to expose the corruption, to halt the onslaught, to rouse the world from its slumber and warn of the doom at hand. Are you such a hero, ready to step into the breach for a world that will never acknowledge you?
There is much to do. Elves, those brilliant beings that once walked the world freely, now stay ensconced in the Veiled Lands, far from the raging wars and the arrogance of men.
Dwarves, with their long memories, remember the old ways and fight on, but their numbers are slipping all the more rapidly into decline. Men have forgotten the old friendships, and so the Dwarf Holds fight a war they cannot win alone.
Avernos is a free campaign setting, with new entries added every week. Join us on the edge of oblivion.
