This one is fairly bland and cliched, but I may set a campaign in it one day.
Centuries ago, great civilisations had arisen. Human, Dwarf, Elf and even Orc ruled vast lands, and great were the monuments and knowledge they shared. Heroes of all kinds walked the land performing great deeds. It was a golden age.
Then came the time of collapse. Preceded by an omen, a bright star in the heavens, erroneosly proclaimed as the sign of a new and even greater age.
Great heavings shook the land. Towers and monuments fell, the great dwarven cities far underground collapsed in upon themselves. Mountains subsided into the sea and plains were thrust to new heights. Volcanos belched forth clouds of smoke and ash to obscure the sun. For those who lived, empires became less important than continuing to survive.
After some time the earth settled and the sky cleared. New kingdoms have arisen, some seeking to restore the glories of what have now become legends, some seeking to create new legends. The now ancient ruins are being plumbed in earnest for the knowledge and treasures of an era all but forgotten.
But what else has been forgotten, cloaked in the softening mists of time?

I want it all, and I want it now...
