Cher

Cher used to be the seat of a once great empire which ranged from the east to the west coast of the continent. Although the civilization is long gone, ancient cities still stand in the dense forests of the territory. Large structures made of a black slick stone dominate the cities, with massive statues depicting ancient and dark gods that were once worshiped across the continent. Scholars believe such deities, referred to in ancient texts simply as the “Ancient Ones”, were creatures of immeasurable power but due to limited source material it is not known what those powers entail. Some still believe the Ancient Ones live, bound in captivity somewhere in the depths of the Earth, waiting to be released to roam the surface once more.Few dare to set foot within the borders of Cher, believing the land to be cursed with unholy dark magic. This is likely due to the forgotten cities scattered across the territory, which fill visitors with a sickening dread which cannot be explained as anything but a dark presence in the back of the mind. Visitors report feeling as though they were being watched, and persistent feelings of unease until they leave Cher entirely. These beliefs are worsened by the cities having seemingly no plant life or wildlife, the jungle seemingly refusing to reclaim the lost lands. Visitors to the lands claim to hear no bird songs within miles of the deserted cities.

Worse still, rumours have been circulating of a mysterious cult operating deep within the jungles. Witnesses claim unholy rituals are being performed, which include gruesome sacrifices to dark and terrible gods.
