Understanding the Lore

Before you begin, understand the world you're entering:

The Fall of Pangaea: Once, four kingdoms (Esford, Orin, Caratas, and Jerro) united under the Pact Unitates to form the great empire of Pangaea. This golden age ended when the ancient demon Infernumantis returned, opening hellish rifts that swallowed Esford and Orin entirely. The surviving kingdoms of Jerro and Caratas now blame each other for the catastrophe and wage endless war.
