Vaera is home to a history of heroes and villains who have fought to determine the fate of the world. They have come in different shapes and sizes from lich kings trying to dominate the world with the undead to bandit lords trying to raid cities for their riches. Each was eventually defeated by a group of heroes at some point but it was always a wonder to the inhabitants to why these things happened so often. Another phenomena was also the fact that the Tieflings and the Aasimar who normally are born at an irregular rate have become their own races with them able to reproduce normally like any other race. Many have search for the answers to these things everywhere from looking through ancient tombs and some even beseeched the gods. After all their efforts it was found out that there was a god that no one had ever known about, Quinlan the god of adventure. A group named the monks of adventure came together to find a way to contact Quinlan and learn for his reasoning behind all that has happened in the world. After going through a 10 year long trial it was finally revealed that his nature requires to bring adventure into the lives of the people in the world. Every action he takes is to keep things interesting but fair (which is why evil tends to fail in the end). He wanted Tieflings and Aasimar to also have a chance to experience adventure so he asked Frigga, goddess of birth and fertility to grant those races the ability to always create offspring that will carry-on their bloodlines. Once this was all known Quinlan did state though that he was not good or evil and that he would be favorable to all those that lived life like it was an adventure. For the days that it did not he would stretch forth his hand and create one for the mortals. But to also fear not as where there is adventure there are always heroes that can deal with it..... Or die trying.....
It is currently the 469 year of the 3rd era and the world has been without any forms of grand adventure for the past 20 years. There are those that have gotten lazy not worrying about the possibility that anything might happen again. But there are those that purposely do evil to prevent anything worse from coming that might end the world as they know it. Bandits can be found robbing people on roads, necromancers can be found sending out the undead to scare people in the forest, and clans can be found fighting each other. In a way the world has been trying to create its own adventure so as to not rouse a very unpredictable god. But soon none of this will be enough to make him sit on his throne forever.
The Aasimar and Tieflings are races that were rarely seen in the world due to the fact that they had birth rates that were very restrictive due to their celestial and infernal bloodlines. But as a favor Quinlan, whom had a great interest in these two groups, Frigga, goddess of birth and fertility made it so that the children spawn from tieflings and Aasimar would grow up to become the same. Doing so has maintained their infernal and celestial bloodlines but increased their numbers enough that they almost have number equal to the other races.
