Well, it's an entirely custom world, with a custom pantheon. :D Magic is fairly rare, especially arcane magic (and consequently, magic items). The gods have generally kept their influence in the workings of the world on the lighter side of things, but times are a' changing.
The main setting is the human kingdom of Lanishen. The lands used to be entirely elven , but humans invaded during the last age and conquered it (~3000 years). An elven domain does still exist within Lanishen (The Kingdom of Parlaea), which is entirely contained within an enchanted forest in the eastern part of Lanishen.
The population distribution in Lanishen is something like:
Lanishen is engaged in a bitter war with the barbarian tribes and some dwarven kingdoms in the north. The known friendly dwarven kingdoms have basically vanished. The alliance against the humans is strange, and not well understood.
The party has mostly been concerned with a new phenomenon - undead have been rising all over the kingdom. Certain ex-members of the mage's guild seem to be involved, and recently a fairly highly-ranked paladin turned blackguard and joined the forces of evil.
