Arda, a world of enchantment and wonder, unfolds across a vast and mesmerizing supercontinent. Majestic landscapes sprawl across the horizon, from verdant forests teeming with mystical creatures to towering mountain ranges kissed by clouds. Crystal-clear lakes shimmer under the embrace of a radiant sun, while cascading waterfalls carve their path through ancient valleys. This is a realm where nature's beauty knows no bounds.
Within the realm of Arda, the kingdoms of Esteria, Thaeloria, and Karak Krag stand as pillars of civilization. Their relationship, though tense and fragile, manages to maintain a delicate peace. Esteria, a dominion of human nobility, exudes regal authority, its vast armies and imposing fortresses a testament to its strength. Thaeloria, the ethereal elven kingdom, is a bastion of ancient wisdom and harmony with nature. Karak Krag, the heartland of dwarven craftsmanship, echoes with the resounding clang of hammers upon anvils.
Yet amidst this intricate balance, a sinister presence lurks in the shadows—the Black Hand. Unlike the other factions, the Black Hand operates in secrecy, working tirelessly to sow discord, upset order, and undermine the stability of the realms. They are the architects of chaos, orchestrating clandestine plots and wielding dark magic with nefarious intent. Their every move is a malevolent dance, threatening to plunge Arda into darkness.
