Exile

The ill-fated path of exile befalls those who are shunned by society, often the disliked Anireth, in an era of distrust and restlessness prevalent during the Lunar Age. Banishment to the desolate wastelands of Faerun is a fate reserved for criminals and nonconformists, where the eternal darkness swallows them whole, leaving behind only whispers of their existence. Exiles embark on a perilous journey in search of acceptance, yet many vanish into the abyss, consumed by the horrors of the outside world.
