4th Age Lore Suggestions
List below are a few suggestions to take into consideration when writing lore for this age. Polemos is a vast world and there are always exceptions to the rule, so you do not have to follow these to the letter; rather these suggestions are focused on the “spirit” or “themes” that you should follow.
39 Shards/Mind Control
There are few aspects of the 4th age where the 39 shards does not have at least some influence. A totalitarian alliance making extensive use of mind control, it is the primary villain in the post-Great War period since demons will not directly make war now.
Dragoons
Dragoons are a newly created race, and are quickly gaining influence as savage warrior unconcerned with the struggle of men and gods.
Anthegals
By this time anthegals are securely their own race, yet it is not until late in the 4th age that Anthegalia becomes the walled garden where all anthegals reside. Small communities of anthegals may exist elsewhere before this, though their isolationists culture is constant.
