SUMMARY
The Old World. On the surface, it is a vast and fertile place, filled with teeming cities, Elf-haunted forests and lofty crags where Dwarfs battle with Goblins and their kin. But a shadow hangs over the world, cast by the dark, corrupting hand of Chaos. From the pirate-ridden coast of south Tilea to the fortified villages of the barbaric East, a few heroes strive to hold back the endless tide of Chaos spilling from the north. But Chaos also gnaws from within, and its hidden servants work to bring the world to its knees before the Dark Gods.
The Old World
The Enemy Within is set in the Old World. This is a fantasy realm comparable to Europe in the early Renaissance. The bulk of its population is human, but other civilized races such as elves, dwarfs and halflings also inhabit its lands. Barbaric creatures such as beastmen and goblinoids lurk on its border and in its less populous areas. Technology has advanced to the point where alchemists are making scientific advances, including the manufacture of gunpowder, and technical innovations such as the printing press are starting to take hold. Magic also is present in the Old World, but it is neither common nor generally powerful. It is often also viewed with fear and suspicion.
