The periphery Kingdom of Firecotton originally consisted of runaway slaves, unjust criminals, and heretics built a holding for themselves in the harsh environment of Crag Reach, brimming with hordes of beasts and bandits. Getting by with nothing but themselves they had always been on the brink of destruction until the reign of General Talwar who through equal measure of negotation and war managed to drive the endless hordes off the lands and establish a lasting peace for the very first time.
In recognition he was given the title of King and allowed to reign as he deemed fit, a feat he excelled at. As the kingdom grew used to their newfound prosperity a curse had befallen them seemingly out of nowhere. The capital and its citizen shifted and transformed into hideous monsters bent on the destruction of all those living.
A lengthy war ensued between the monsterous packs and what was left of the army but the kingdom won. In their current devistated state they can no longer defend their boarders, protect their towns, nor have the resources to reverse the curses that befallen them.
Along with the curse are the Eight Cursed Ones, people transformed from the curse who spread it across the land who hide in the shadows whispering ill-omen. The dead are restless, the Goblin Legion returns, and bandits smell blood.
This is a Kingdom in desperate need for Heroes who can turn the tide of this war. Are you such a hero?

Who are you?
While you come from all manner and walks of life you have been looped into and intertwined into this Kingdom's struggle to lift the curse and become safe once more. Outsider or native born they are in no position to argue and need your help.
All official races and classes are allowed from the main books and adventure paths. Racial requirements will be excised. If you are a race or class intended for NPCs (Aakivar or Anti-paladin) then you must pass it by me.
You will start at 3rd level, 27 point buy or Array. Non-evil.
You can make up your own town, minor deity, villains, heroes, supporting characters in your story you wish. Yet I should state that while I will try to get through it (in fact I am planning to), I might have to adjust some details or fold the stories together.
Yet I will please ask that if you got “too much to write” that you have a complete “Jist” finished before your character is finished... and until you finish the other materials they simply do not exist.
