In the sprawling realm of Varian, a realm shrouded in ominous shadows and haunted by eerie landscapes, a multitude of disparate territories and realms stretch across the desolate expanse. These lands, each a bastion of its own twisted power, seldom engage in overt conflicts. Instead, they focus on fortifying their own domains, fiercely guarding the meager territories they've managed to wrest from the unforgiving clutches of the malevolent forces that pervade Varian.

Survival in this grim world is an arduous task, and the denizens of Varian are consumed with the perpetual struggle to endure the relentless hardships that assail them. The pursuit of dominance through petty wars is seen as a futile endeavor, as the harsh realities of existence demand an unwavering commitment to self-preservation. Only the mightiest and most stable of nations dare to entertain notions of conquest and expansion.

Yet, the ominous tranquility that blankets Varian does not completely preclude the specter of war. Beneath the surface, a web of feuds entangles the various realms, each harboring a clandestine desire to undermine its rivals and exploit any weakness. Warfare in Varian takes on a sinister guise, with battles waged through the subtle manipulation of influence, the clandestine machinations of spies, and the deployment of smaller, highly skilled groups of mages and warriors—reminiscent of shadowy special forces or intrepid adventurers navigating the twisted tapestry of Varian's dark politics.
