Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted Overview and Recent Content
Throughout the vast world of Istaria, from its two continents to its various islands, a war rages between the allied races of the living and the army of unrelenting undead known collectively as the “Withered Aegis”. Through sheer will and hardy determination, fantastical communities of humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, half-giants, dryads, satyrs, fiends, cat-like saris, reptile-like ssilk, and even dragons have carved out a prosperous living from the deserts of central Istaria to the jungles of Lesser Aradoth, despite the ever-present danger of undead raids. Whichever of these races you choose to play and whether you elect to follow the path of the audacious adventurer, the coveted crafter, or a combination of the two, know that your actions will impact Istaria’s uncertain future.
