The Sim

The Kingdom of Pegasus Falls sits to the South of the great Heaven-Reaching Mountains, in the central part of the continent of Estrium. In the clouds high in the mountains is a lake, fed by the snowmelt from the mountain peaks. Around this lake is a green space kept warm by millennia-old druidic and fae magic. It is a refuge for magical wildlife of the realm and the one remaining place where pegasi breed in the wild.

The waters of the Lake of Shining Waters flow down to the lower world in a cascade down a miles-high cliff, forming the Pegasus Falls for which the Kingdom is named. This wondrous waterfall feeds a network of lakes and rivers down below, providing life to the vast territory of the Kingdom and its many towns. The Kingdom’s Royal Guard has a pact with the fae rulers of the refuge, permitting the hardiest guards to scale the cliffs, reach the refuge, and find a pegasus who will agree to partner with them. After centuries, the traditions of the Pegasus Riders of the Kingdom’s Royal Guard continue proudly.

The Kingdom of Pegasus Falls has been standing for nearly 3,500 years. It rose from the ashes of the last great war against the Dread Lords, warrior-kings whose magic was fueled by the most evil of archdemons. The citizens of the continent of Estrium, both magical and mundane, fought off the armies of the Dread Lords, defeating them totally. In the intervening millennia, wildlife and civilization have covered over the ruins of the Dread Lords’ empire, but their influence can still be felt. Long lost artifacts containing their eldritch power still corrupt the corruptible, despite the best efforts of the Royal Guard.

In the town of Fairfell, many miles from anything important, unlawful activity has caused the Town Guard to post a sign on the town square notice board. They are seeking adventurers to assist them with their problem....
