## Story
Whether you seek glory, power or peace, you have come to the land of Ashdeen.
The land that decades ago was the center of a great conflict between The imperium and the Orcish hordes.
When men first came to Ashdeen it belonged to Orcs, Goblins, Trolls and the greenskin like.
Humans came in search of fabled artifacts once belonging to an ancient race that lived below the ground.
Orcs were enraged that humans came to their lands claiming the artifacts for their own use. War was declared!
Fierce bloody battles were waged, but none could really claim to be the victor.
An uneasy peace Was signed between the humans and the greenskins, and now all the races of Ashdeen live in a fragile peace governed by orcs and humans.
Now the efforts are once again focused on excavating the ruins of the ancient civilization that had vanished so long ago.
Powerful artifacts, strange ruins and forgotten languages are discovered during the first expeditions.
Elves and a few other races fear that there is something sinister in the depths, and further expeditions should be stopped.
But who knows what will be found amongst the fragments of the past…
