The lands close to the edge of the world, which is marked by an ever-present fog, are known as the barrens. A blighted land in which crops struggle to grow , with only the very poor and desperate to occupy the scarce villages. Naturally making it a haven for outlaws.
It is in one of these barrens that a raider called Raegan was born and raised, feared and respected by the cut-throats he grew up around.
The world has been told that magic is responsible for cursed regions known as the Forgotten Lands. For this reason anyone with the gift of magic are labelled abominations, a crime punishable by death and enforced by the Malleus Maleficarum, the worlds leading religion.
Raegan is one such abomination, untrained in whatever magic he may have.
Even in the lawless barrens those with magic aren't looked upon favourably, and so Raegan has kept his 'gift' hidden from all but his closest friend.
But now he wants to leave behind the dangerous wasteland that is his home and everything he has ever known, in the effort to seek new experiences.
No matter where this new path will take him, good or bad.
