The Forces of Darkness have launched a coordinated assault upon the Free Nations of Magnamund. Their intentions are clear: to overwhelm and annihilate them before an effective counter-offensive can be undertaken.
In The Storms of Chai, your mission is one of seven that Kai Supreme Master Lone Wolf has initiated to turn back this unprecedented tide of evil before it engulfs all the goodly nations of Magnamund forever.

This Discipline enables a New Order Grand Master to manipulate the four basic elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. By drawing upon individual elements that are available, or combinations thereof, he is able to detach, affix, increase, concentrate, intensify, remove, or accelerate this matter to fulfil a specific purpose, e.g. create a wall, hurl a rock, spray sand, remove air, intensify fire. The versatility of this Discipline increases as a New Order Grand Master advances in rank.

Two small mountain ranges, the Huzang and the Szuchow, are located slightly west of the countryâs centre and are separated by jungles which slowly give way to swamps as one moves further west. The city of Vabou is located near Chaiâs centre, and a traveler moving on from Vabou would be able to choose between three of Chaiâs principal roadways in order to continue their journey. Choosing the south-west road would take the traveler towards the Chai Sea and the coastal town of Hâlau, with a jungle bordering the road to the north and the Huzang Mountains and its foothills to the south. If, instead, the traveler chose the south-east road, they would find themselves passing between the grasslands of the Chai Plain to their north and the Tviloi Forest to their south, with the road forking at the town of Klatii. One fork bears generally eastwards towards the river town of Hiâjoi, while the other turns further southwards through the Tviloi forest, passing through Jueng and ending at the town of Valus, which is separated from the great city of Dwala by the waters of the Tkukoma Estuary. Finally, the traveler leaving from Vabou might choose the road bearing north, and after a journey flanked by the Nagah Forest to the east and Szuchow Mountains to the west, they would arrive at Pensei, the capital of Chai and home of the Khea-khan himself. The capital is protected from the incursions of Chaiâs often unfriendly Bhanarian neighbors by the Chai Wall, a huge construction located a dozen miles to the west of Pensei, running about 50 miles from north to south, and anchored by several forts, notably Fort Jhung which stands athwart the road running west from Pensei into the nation of Bhanar.
