Editing Tanares (section)

==The Sandbox==
As for what we know about Tanares the world, that's mainly from the Kickstarter; but it's going to be a big fantasy sandbox with lots of vying factions both on the surface and in its [[Underdark]]. The stand-in for the [[Ethereal Plane]] would be the Penumbral Plane, here. With a touch of [[Far Realm]]. And there's a [[Tarrasque]] in this plane because of course there is.

The main church are the [[Edge|Evolutionists, who own Sacred Scriptures]]. The "Book of Malrok" stands in for the Revelation. The gods in dragon form herein proclaimed that gods shall make their abode in Tanares and that, henceforth, war is banned. No seriously: "Massive bloodshed will be punished with [[Exterminatus|natural catastrophe]]". This "Malrokian Curse" has happened at least four times that we know of. How very Asimov "Nightfall".

Two hundred years ago the main Empire, to prevent any fights that get large enough, has decreed that if more than five people gather for violent intent they're ... just don't, okay? There's been prepared an Imperial Prison for you.

''One'' hundred years ago, though, it seems erupted a war that the Empire (perhaps not yet an Empire) got away with: when a coalition attacked the Mystical Kingdom and sacked the city Arcana. After that little dustup, the Mystical Kingdom got enveloped by a hallucinogenic mist thus becoming the Wasteland. The Emperor, being about the last credible authority standing, founded the Ironhand to enforce his no-war and no-large-armed-party law.

Various factions abound within the church namely the Draconic Evolutionist Assembly of Tanarean Helpers (D.E.A.T.H.), who are now dragon-skeptics; and the apocalyptic Cult of the Shadow Wing.
