OK, here's the rundown and backstory.
Clay has gone to this world due to a long-running feud with a demon, a demon that Stephen King fans will find similar to Randall Flagg and HP Lovecraft fans will find similar to Nyarlahothep.
Here's how this world works: one Pangeatic continent, Two empires separated by a spinal mountain range that makes the Himalayas look like foothills. The mountains and the plateaus and steppes surrounding them are peopled with several thousand tribes of semi-barbaric warlike people.
The two empires:
One of them is essentially Chinese/Pan-Asian, the other is Indian/Persian.
Both have an Emperor and 4 billion people. The mountain people in total number 250,000.
Tech Level is ~ WWII. There are some helicopters, no jets. The only atomic bombs there ever were or will be just went off, the demon brought them in from elsewhere.
Here is the plot:
The Demon convinces the two emperors to blow up the most sacred and holy place on the Planet. (Basically Tibet) and will be annoyed that the country cannot be used as a route to start a war between them because of radioactive fallout.
The Demon's plan is to lock both sides into a massive and hopeless conflict and slowly destroy the empires and most of their citizens with fire, famine, pestilence and disease, then to follow it up with one big plague that would send the world back to the freaking stone age.
Clay just saved the daughter of the high priest and a very holy personage, to continue the faith of the enlightened after the downfall of the country. Prior to that he became the leader of the world's most feared assassins, the Hashishiyun.
He has brought Adric to this world and plans to unite the barbarian tribes to resist the war and keep both sides from getting at each other through the mountains.
Then he will foster revolution in the Empire because by the end of the week, he'll have the word out who performed the attacks on the Land of Enlightenment.
If you are interested in playing, Clay has left the door open to the outside for friends to enter and help him overthrow the plans of the Demon.
Be prepared. The Demon has psychotic, superhuman henchmen that will seek you and attempt to kill you as you carry out assassinations, spread revolutions or fight alongside the people of the mountains with Sniper Rifle, fighter plane, or Anti-Tank weapon.
