History
The were ruled over and controlled by the Cabal of Obsidians, sorcerers who employed powerful magic abilities.

The Empire grew in size and might, eventually forming a huge Army of Obsidian Triumph to conquer the warlords and city-states of the Novian continent.

The sorcerers were not satisfied with a mortal army, and used mutational magic to reshape creatures to use in their conquest. They captured human slaves and used them as experiments to form and reshape them into some of these creatures, known as fomorian creatures. Elves, Satyrs, Fauns and Trolls, reshaped by the sorcerers magics, joined their legions. They also commanded the magic to animate the undead.

Present Day
Eight wraithlike entities known as Obsidian Cabalists are all that remain of the once mighty Cabal of Obsidians. They lay siege to the towns of New Britannia with a new, subjugated army of humans, the notorious Ebon Dawn Cultists.

The new Archipelago of Mistrendur has been slowly revealing the presence was not exclusive to the Novian continent, and is far more reaching than previously known.
