Alta- A place that many called the birth place of gods, the point and intersection of the realm of gods and mortal plane. A paradise if you will with sprawling mountains and lush full forests as far as the eye could see until it met the great expanse of the unseeing salt lakes that extended beyond the eye's vision in clear blue waves. Fild'can, Naolin, Deserac, Drogen and her sister region Hougen made up the multiclimate range of the broad and legion covering landscape of Alta.
Alta had a key resource it could create; the Vessel. Men and women who the gods recognized as leaders and submitted themselves to in the form of artifacts, weapons, clothing, tools and even animals. These vessel would appear once or twice every few generations and shape Alta and her people for ages to come. One vessel, one God King of Alta.
But this system wouldn't always prove fool proof for the people and kingdoms. At times two or even three vessel would appear at the same time and vi for power among one another. The corruption of absolute control is something not all men and women can handle and these wars that would break between the vessel would extend into some of the bloodiest conflict Alta would ever see.
But at one time, here in the recent years, Alta had been under a singular God King. A man who had risen to power and claimed the treasury of gods the other kings had left behind for himself. He would rule for the next twenty years unopposed until one day the lord of Hougen broke free from his fealty and began his own campaign. Sporting a god he had subjugated himself and the others who had sought refuge in Alta and been slain over the current king's rule.
Hougen was the mountain throne for what the men and women of Alta called the Demon. A beast of a man who tamed their gods and turned his soldiers into thralls of undead to combat the safe and content lives of those subject under the God King of Alta. It was a brutal sort of struggle that had reached on into the latter years of a once great ruler's life. A vessel and a man who would see his last breath on the eve of his kingdom's final hour.
The siege of Hougen was in the final act of the play.
