Rang is a huge kingdom, covering more than a million square miles, and extending from the Great Sea to the Ice Sea. It dominates the area politically, militarily and religiously. Rang is a monarchy, led by King Diure LXIV, but its immense size weakens the central government. Most feudal lords manage their lands independently, and only answer to the king in the loosest sense.

“From what I had observed, there was talk of bandits having openly taken control of at least one of the towns in the south. I suspect this might have been exaggerated rumor, but I did not have the opportunity to directly investigate this. I encountered a small traveling group which was being dispatched by an unknown party to carry a message to Baron Huerten; I chose to accompany this group, hoping thereby to see if I could learn the contents of their message, allowing me more immediate information on the concerns of prominent people in the south of Huerten.
