Dunskar should not exist.
Not here.
The land is a vast red desert, shaped by relentless winds that never seem to rest. Sand scours the skin, the air itself feels hostile… and yet, at the heart of it all, stands a kingdom overflowing with wealth.
The answer lies beneath.
Leylines.
Not calm, steady currents—but unstable veins of arcane energy that gather, swell… and eventually rupture.
When they do, something extraordinary happens.
Vaults are born.
Not constructed—but formed.
Sudden, violent intrusions into reality itself.
These “treasure vaults” appear without warning, filled with relics, weapons, and objects that should not exist.
Artifacts.
Some ancient. Some incomprehensible.
All valuable.
This is what fuels Dunskar.
Adventurers—treasure hunters, as they proudly call themselves—flock here from distant lands. They come chasing glory, power, or simply survival. Most leave with less than they hoped.
Some never leave at all.
The kingdom does not stop them.
It welcomes them.
Because every artifact recovered feeds the economy. Trade thrives. Wealth circulates. Dunskar shines brighter with every risk taken by those willing to descend into the unknown.
But artifacts are not the only resource.
The land offers more.
Ore—rare and resilient—is mined from beneath the desert. Dunskar’s smiths are renowned, capable of shaping weapons that rival those of older civilizations.
And then… there is the energy itself.
Arcane power, drawn directly from the leyline.
It is unstable. Dangerous. Difficult to control.
Yet Dunskar has found a way.
They use devices—vessels, I am told—constructed to capture and store this energy. Crude compared to artifacts, yet far more accessible.
With them, they create.
Tools. Weapons. Mechanisms that blur the line between craft and sorcery.
Artificial wonders.
Inferior to true artifacts, yes—
but within reach of those who cannot afford miracles.
Dunskar does not rely on a single source of power.
It multiplies it.
Artifacts for the elite.
Craft for the capable.
Energy for those who dare to harness it.
And beneath it all…
the leylines continue to pulse.
Unpredictable. Unstable.
Alive.
