Rings of Brass

Gary Gygax is one the founding father of modern Roleplaying Games. His name is synonymous with Dungeons & Dragon, Greyhawk, Dangerous Journeys, Lejendary Journey, and Castles & Crusades. Under Troll Lord Games, he uses the C&C system to bring to life the world of Aihrde.

The All father first created world of Aihrde, a hollow world whose inner region is known as Inzaea.
Its is one of three planets in its system, the other two beings Illus and Nexus. Aihrde has only but one moon.

Sometime in this pre-history, Unklar the Dark, was responsible for igniting the Sun and also imprisoning the dragon Inazea within the interior of the planet. Being a divine being, the dragon presence warped the realm a more habitable domain and muck like the overworld. One of the first beings of creation were the dwarves, and they lived deep beneath the earth. They were the one that first fashioned tunnels between the two realms of the planet, they were blessed by the creator with the ability to invent and craft magnificent things. They created many wondrous objects, that are lost to the magical arts of today during their reign of 10,000 years.  Over the centuries though some dwarves became corrupted and were twisted into goblin, and soon began a series of wars that escalated between them. In the 4th Great War, the All Father died as a goblin sorcerer worked a great spell to unmake the dwarves, the spell went awry and cause the death of the All-Father and creating the multi-verse in the process. In this absence, other things came... dark things such as orcs and demons, and elves.

For the next 800 years the Age of Man would be upon the world. First with the Aenochian Empire, and then with various smaller kingdoms. The Age was a golden age for humans, the dwarves and elves kept to themselves. Yet in the end, Unklar the Dark made his move. This time causing the Winterdark Wars. Fpr the next 240 some years, the dark god terrorized the world in black snow and ice. There was countless strife and wars, as mortal and gods alike rose up and attempted to defeat Unklar. The Battle of the Tree marked the end of the Winterdark as Unklar forces were defeated.  New Kingdoms were made, new gods appeared and new religions, and peace would reign upon the world once more.
