Yet, the core of their aversion to the undead is grounded in a more visceral reaction: repulsion. The undead are seen as abominations of nature, grotesque entities marred by decay and disease. Their state of being stands in stark contrast to the Marcandrian ideal of progress and the pursuit of a brighter future. They are living reminders of the antithesis of Marcandria's principles—ugliness in place of beauty, decay instead of vitality, and despair rather than hope. In a society driven by the quest for a prosperous tomorrow, the existence of the undead represents a stark and unsettling contrast, a grim reminder of the fragility of life and the horrors that can arise from its unnatural perversion. 

Undead creatures are disposed of on sight by Marcandrian authorities, who aim to keep the ordinary citizen from ever having to encounter one. While undead creatures are not overly common in the general wild areas of Marcandria, they have a habit of manifesting in the old Concalian ruins that can be found all across the country. The frequency at which these manifest has only gotten worse as the centuries have gone by.

Marcandria enjoys a temperate climate with hot, humid summers peaking in the low 30s, and mild, dry winters that occasionally dip below freezing to bring sparse snowfalls. Its landscape combines the rugged, forest-clad slopes that protrude from the eastern Eirusian Highlands with the gentle, fertile hills near the coasts, favored for agriculture.

 

Recent Events

The serene fabric of stability that once graced Marcandria was violently torn asunder in the bitter winter of 1349 AD. The orchestration of a regicidal tragedy left not only the royal family's reign in ruins but their entire lineage wiped from the realm, heirs included. This dark chapter ignited an insidious succession crisis that ensnared the noble echelons in a ruthless struggle for power, each claimant diverting massive resources to their campaign and striving to draw support from the labyrinthine weave of influential factions that thread through the tapestry of Marcandrian society.
