The World of the Fallen Enchantress

A new blog post by Stardock's Brad Wardell not only dives into the "less civilized" portion of the game world they've chosen for the setting of Elemental's Fallen Enchantress add-on, but it also covers more of the revised elements fans of the original game can expect from the expansion.
Relias, the narrator from The War of Magic told his story from the point of view of men. From his vantage point, there were only two types of beings Men and Fallen. And (The Fallen) were simply a bunch of monstrous humanoids of unknown origin. In addition, Relias, being a man of the west, was very concerned with ideology. Specifically, whether one respected concept of royalty (Kingdoms) or whether one embraced random chaos (Empire). Random chaos, being from the point of view of men.

One of the Kingdoms of men, Kraxis, did not agree with the concept of royal succession. And they, unlike the other kingdoms of men, joined the (Empires).

This matters in our story because Fallen Enchantress is told from the point of view of Ceresa, the beautiful but deadly enchantress of Resoln. Ancient beyond any other channeler (even Procipinee), Ceresa has a much broader view of the world than Relias had.
