Previewing... Kahembo: Olde Dawn (Full Set)

High in the skies above Kahembo, majestic beasts soar, casting legendary shadows onto the ground below. Legend says they were birthed from the flames of Kwende's active volcanoes, and it is told that with each beat of their mighty wings volcanic ash rains to the ground in a dazzling display. Are these stories true, or are they simply... stories? Well, they are as true as any story you might hear from the elder storytellers of the plane. It is up to you too choose whether or not to believe.



Bourasa is a city with a punishing social caste, where those at the bottom stay at the bottom while those at the top continue to rise. Many of the city's commonfolk are Hounds, and often the highest they can rise within the social structure is to high-ranking military positions. For this region, the king's legion is overwhelmingly filled by Hounds looking to make a name for themselves and their families, and hoping to protect those of their kind from the city's greedy and inconsiderate upper class. It is here and only here that the Bourasan poor can make their names heard.



Much of the life on Kahembo is supported by the overflow from the Kwaulu River, and the more nomadic tribes often set up camps on the riverbank as it provides a simple source of both water and food. Perhaps the most prolific of these tribes are the Gnolls, who scavenge the swaths of open desert for anything dead or close-to-dead they can rip apart for food. If, by some happenstance, you find yourself in the vicinity of a Gnoll camp, the smartest move is to run in the opposite direction. They're unlikely to chase, but if they do catch you, chances are you won't live to tell the tale.



With no family to speak of and nowhere to truly call home, a young panda wandered the multiverse looking for answers to life's questions. He settled for awhile on Kahembo in the great city of Ndengo, where he learned the art of battle and numerous survival skills from the city's reverent fighters. He did not know where his life might take him, but he knew this world where creatures young and old fought against and alongside one another to survive was a special one, and his time here would form the panda he was destined to become.



And that's it! We've gone through just bits and pieces of Kahembo, but there's so much more on the plane to discover. From Mouse Armies to Lizard Artificers, from fighting pits to back-alley brawls, from royalty to peasantry, the plane truly has something for everyone. So without further ado, take my hand, and let's explore Kahembo: Olde Dawn!
