Fengorian is an ancient world which only recently has witnessed the rise of men's kingdoms and their wars. In the Age of the Living Gods Fengorian was a world torn apart by two forces, Creation and Destruction, and for thousands of years the war between these forces rent and reshaped the earth, until they at last abated, men were born, and the gods left this land forever. Relics from that age, most famously the Tree of Creation and the Black Tower of Laeolin, remind men of years long ago, but their meaning is fast becoming lost in the great hustle and bustle brought on by the growth of civilization.

Fengorian, in the days of the War of the Slaves, is divided into ten kingdoms: The Skaelin, The Skaelish, Las, Kale, Gonaka, Gaoln or the Free Kingdom, Laen, Keay, Phenen, and Aniania.

Fengorian is a small world, with less than fifty million people spread across its continents, but it is a world rich in its history and in the depth of its legends.
