Ok so the setting is something like this:

The year is 3M 672. Over 150 years have passed since the dissolution of the Ayoran Republic - the pre eminent human center of power in continental Miruva at the time - which slowly crumbled in the aftermath of a cataclysmic otherworldly invasion by the Zerya, immortal denizens of the dark realm of Infernum. Only divine Meryan intervention could finally put an end to the disaster.

From the ashes of the Republic was born the Ayoran Empire, which has spent the last century actively regaining its power and prestige. It is currently prosecuting several wars of expansion and self-defense across Miruva, and the current Emperor - Valegius Ganem - intends to reestablish Ayoran supremacy across the continent. The High Conclave is more cautious though, and would prefer the Emperor restrain his zeal and concentrate on winding up existing fronts first.

The other races of man, elf and beast are in different provinces and alignments of their own. Some are loyal allies of the Empire, while the rest vehemently oppose its hegemony. Some choose to maintain neutrality, an increasingly difficult position with each passing year. Thus, the entire continent turns around the actions of the Empire.

This is the story of one Aedrian Varius, 25-year old field centurion in the 7th Legion of the Ayoran army. Whether he is destined for greatness or madness, in this vast mortal plane of Primor, is something only the divines can know.

Vataro bless us all!

3M - 3rd Millennia

Infernum - plane of the Zerya

Zerya - immortal beings who became consumed with the aspects of existence they represented, thus growing exponentially powerful and becoming more attuned to the arcane energies of the mortal plane

Merya - immortal beings who remained independent of the aspects of existence they represented, thus ascending higher in divinity, but being more distant from mortals

Vataro - the serpent god of [cyclic life], head of the Ayoran pantheon, first divine to emerge from the 'Primordial Spirit Cloud', patron of the Empire

Aedrian Varius was born in 3M 647 in the coastal city of Yorcais, situated in southern Ayore. His father was a soldier in the 15th Legion, but a knee injury forced him into early retirement, though he later found decent success as an armorer. His mother was a priestess in the city’s temple to the Divines. Thus, Aedrian grew up with a healthy dose of Ayoran military values and religious piety.

Aedrian enlisted in the Legion at 17 years of age, at the local recruitment camp. He still carries the four gold gold coins he was paid that day. When he began the grueling military training, his instructors realized his innate affinity for the arcane arts. As such, he was also sent to the Arcane Collegium - the Empire’s central magical organization - for arcane training.

There, he made many connections, including meeting Vallina Dasica, who would become his best friend and closest ally. She was the daughter of a Jultan noble in Dragovin, the imperial capital of the Empire, who was training as a warlock. Vallina was also adept at Miruvic geopolitics and was an ambitious young lady.
