Aegis (1305-1349) was the very first Realm featured on the Lord of the Craft. Topics on Aegis are wide ranging, including the races that inhabited the lands, nations and cities that formed the heart of Aegis. In 1351 Aegis fell to the Undead after their increasingly greater attacks, and it was abandoned in favour of Asulon.
