Running Shadows: Rebellion in Numenor​

Story:

Our tale takes place in a vast, far-away land, on a mass of land covered in different countries that are as different as night and day. The most prosperous and magical country reigns over all the others, controlling trade, taxes, magical restrictions, and even free will.

One land will finally rise up against the oppressive government and try to become free, searching for help from neighboring countries in the process. But with the immeasurably strong power against them, the would-be freed peoples of the land will have to fight to the death for their freedom.

Descriptions of the Countries:

Numenor
The country of Numenor lies in the northwest corner of its world, one of the poorest and smallest areas of the land. It's only points of strength are its impenetrable fortress of a castle and its Dragon-hunting grounds, where great warriors and generals are born for their tiny, unused army. Numenor trades well, but has no magical power within its inhabitants.

Armania
The country of Armania is located north of a range of mountains above Numenor, cutting them off from the main land of its world. Assassins, mercenaries, and skilled bowmen come from this country, most of which only venture down into the mainland for money and ill-gained fame. This land keeps to themselves, but with pending rebellion and war they may be forced to choose sides and get involved or watch the world burn.

Layoman
The country of Layoman lies east of Armania, also slightly out of the way of the rest of the mainland. This country is known far and wide for its horses; their breeding lines, speed, and durability are traded to all countries for profit beyond imagining. Layoman has become rich due to its The Black and Silver Trade Route that connects them to Numenor, and then to the rest of the countries.

Rondor
The country of Rondor is located south of Layoman, in the midwest of its world. This is the home of the dwarves of this land, a hilly region where all the homes and their dwellers live underneath the earth. These people's talents are mining the rich minerals and jewels of the earth. They are also known for their magical mind-reading skills and their scrying abilities.

Earoling
Just south of Rondor is the land of Earoling, the home of the Elves of this world. They are the most magical creatures of their world, known for their immortality and many other skills. Their land is surrounded by magical barriers that exist to keep out all except for the traders that are connected to them.

Landroval
In the farthest southwest corner of the world lies Landroval, home of the divisionist Elves; long ago they separated from Landroval to uphold their own, much darker and less moral ideals. They practice dark magic, consuming the souls of human beings to increase their strength. Their main ally, and the ruling country of this world is mentioned below:

Moraning
Covering most of the desert land of the southwest and east areas of its world is the country of Moraning. This country is the land that has been ruling over all others for decades now because of its extreme wealth, magical power, trading skills, and large population. Necromancers and Summoners are the main magical beings born from this place; their skill of speaking to, commanding, and raising the dead for their own benefit with the use of dark magic has made the feared by all others. Deadly, ill-magicked creatures come from this land as well, an ugly biproduct of all the dark magic done in this land.

The Copperhead Pass and its Forest
In the center of the world lies the Copperhead Pass, a deserted, desolate land that is not traveled on often because of the sand demons that dwell underneath the surface of the dry earth. In the center of the Pass is an enchanted forest that none exit or enter; any travelers or traders who go by it are always called into it by the spirits or demons that live inside and are never seen again. No one knows how this forest stays alive with no water source, but all assume that magic, probably dark magic, keeps it alive and keeps all away at a safe distance to keep their lives.
