The beloved series' newest storyline delves into the fresh setting of this unfamiliar territory, a universe vastly different from the familiar previous setting where previous stories occurred. Throughout this domain, the gods met their end by people only seven decades past, magic has gone wild, and civilization must figure out how to rule themselves without divine intervention.

The World of the Fourth Campaign

Whereas Exandria exemplifies a universe characterized by divine presence, the current setting is marked by their utter lack. Within recent history, a transformative battle occurred, and mortals defeated the final of divine beings. The seven shaping deities now gone, mortalkind needed to survive on their own in a transformed reality, filled with unpredictable magic and uncertainty.

The main environment for the initial episode is Dol-Makjar, located on the eastern edge of an area known as Kahad. Dol-Makjar deeply respects the rebellion figures of the great conflict. Sculptures of these individuals extend from the walls of the city, resisting the surrounding mountains like they're holding them back.

Although Dol-Makjar acts as our starting point, several other sites get mentioned in the episode. One notable place is the Rookery, seemingly the more artistic neighborhood of the settlement, where musicians, writers, actors, and everything in between dwell. It's in this district that we spend most of our time during the first episode. Furthermore Halandil's theater, this particular establishment, is located.

Further into Kahad sits another city called Dol-Rungja, yet the significant regarding this place is still disclosed.

Tir Cruthu constitutes the domain of mythical beings and an enigmatic location beyond the material world. Apparently this magical domain has vanished, though, and the gateway to the world of Faerie has been closed. The significance behind this hasn't been revealed, but it does seem to influence this character, who has now begun to age since getting disconnected from that dimension.

Lastly, there is the Mournvale, a land remote from the main city and where this character and a particular group reside. It appears the realm of elven folk, but similarly, much about it stay unexplained currently.

The Narrative of This Adventure

The story begins in the settlement of Dol-Makjar. At the start of the episode, the local population come together for a very important event: the execution of the central figure. As stated by the announcer, the character will be put to death for acting as "a turncoat, sorcerer, assassin, and blatant rebellion against the settlement and its people." Thjazi formerly a war hero, but now he is viewed as an outlaw by the Chamber of Lords-Advisory to the leadership group.

During the execution, thirteen different people with a connection to him gather to observe. These are the primary characters for the story, including Azune Nayar, another individual, a third person, Halandil Fang, a fifth individual, Murray Mag'nesson, Wicander Halovar, Teor Pridesire, Tyranny, Sir Julien Davinos, an eleventh individual, Kattigan Vale and a thirteenth character. Several of these individuals seek to free Thjazi; though, the rescue doesn't work and Thjazi is executed.

Thjazi's death initiates the narrative of the fourth campaign, but each aspect is tightly connected to the contemporary background of the setting of this universe. Seven decades before present circumstances, after the defining battle with the last god being slain, mortalkind were forced to address the dilemma: what now? Arcane power quickly grew uncontrolled and erratic absent deities present, and the question about where the souls of deceased individuals go, given that divine entities have ceased around to guide them to the beyond, continues to be explained.

Inevitably, humanity banded together and began to build their civilization fresh. Nevertheless, as expected, not everyone approved of how this transformed reality should appear. Despite limited knowledge too much about the War of Axe and Vine, it's mentioned several occasions in the first episode, and this individual was regarded a military legend after that war concluded. Though, two years later, the character struck the Falconer's Rebellion against the Sundered Houses of the city. The motivation has yet to be explained, but given that the character mentions that the ruling clans "have never been more powerful", viewers can infer multiple conclusions: the Rebellion failed and the clans' power persists as absolute in the city of this location.

Moreover, with sorcery operating chaotically, it's evident to be managed and kept a close eye on. Quite distinct from arcane practices get regarded in a far more positive perspective in Exandria.

The Individuals of the Fourth Campaign

Alongside our main cast, viewers meet multiple significant non-player characters in the city of the primary setting.

The first is, unsurprisingly, Thjazi Fang. A rascal, a lawbreaker, a revolutionary, a lover, a family member, a champion: Thjazi acts as the focal point regarding which the premiere {centers|focuses|revol
