The Island of Ovis is under brutal occupation by the Holy Lodissian Empire. Long has Ovis been under the influence of Lodis, but for a long time the island was given autonomy through various treaties. That was until the infamous Shaher insident. A fallen solar long imprisoned on the island by the High God after the Ogre Battle began to break free from his prison and corrupt power hungry men and women to aid him in getting his freedom. Through the intervention of a Knight of Lodis, Lans Tartare and his companions defeated the fallen Archangel and drove him from this plane. Soon afterwards Ivanna, the daughter of Duke Ronway, the previous ruler of the island took the throne of Ovis and for a time there was peace. But the Lodis province of Felis angered over the death of his son plotted and a decade later would arrange an assassination of Ivanna and driving her heirs into hiding.
The chaos proceeding the event gave the Lodis empire a reason to annex the entire island into their Empire. After conquering the island in a brief conflict, the order of the Sacred Flame sought to complete the annexation. They have brutally suppressed the local religions and indoctrinate the populace in worshiping their god Filarhh above all others. Other that this, the Lodissians are seeking to also destroy aspects of Ovis culture to better make the people of this island ideal citizens of the Empire. They have also lead a brutal campaign against the Demihumans of the isle slaying hawkmen, faries, mermaids and other creatures no matter their affiliations.
But there were some who would resist the Lodis Empire. You are among them.
