For decades, the crusader nation of Mendev has stood as a bulwark against the ever-expanding demonic blight known as the Worldwound. Since the Abyssal portal first opened in the barbarian realm of Sarkoris over a hundred years ago, four separate crusades have been called. Warriors both devout and opportunistic have responded ever since by making the long trek to Avistan’s far north.
The wardstones, built as the ultimate defensive line during the Second Crusade, are magical menhirs of tremendous power linked together to form an invisible wall that destroys any lesser demons that dare approach it. The recent failure of the wardstones w as p art o f a series of attacks on Mendev’s magical defenses that have characterized the battles of the current war known as the Fifth Crusade. The loss of this crucial defensive line has brought an understandable urgency to the war, and it’s in this chaotic and quickly evolving environment that Pathfinders find themselves called to Nerosyan to stand against the demonic hordes.
