From the Introduction: The Moadreg are a proud people, you must never forget that. My grandfather’s father told the tale of the Reckoning, when the elves betrayed Blackmoor and tried to destroy the earth. My grandfather's father survived that day... we survived. Gathering up what knowledge we could, we rebuilt our world. The Wasting came, and yet we endured. It forced us from our primal lands and still we thrive. Now, here, on this new continent we will regain our former glory.
