BrexitLand - Andrew McGregor - Bog

Venture into Brexitland, a colourful medieval country in the throes of a dramatic political transformation. Civil unrest, mistrust and division fill the hearts of residents...a country where knife crime and chemical dependency are high and any authoritarians are in short supply with limited influence. A charismatic gnome apprentice wizard and mysterious human become unlikely companions to embark on a quest to study the country and the dramatic effects of Kerfuffle day, the day the country left the alliances of their closest neighbours and became one of intrigue for the international community. Was it really getting back control and freedom? There is much to learn on the trek from the coast with many differing peoples to meet, but it soon becomes apparent that nothing is as it seems...that life in a beleaguered country isolated from it's neighbours may still hold many surprises and the chance for change...that the truth may be even more incredulous than anyone could have imagined. Where will their quest take them...will they survive the harsh reality of such a desperate country? Danger can emerge at any time...the savage wolves, brigands or rogues that hunt the land for vulnerable victims more evident at night, the darkness rarely patrolled by overwhelmed militia. Crimes against the person mostly go unsolved, the people having to protect themselves rather than rely on any state assistance...robberies and murder are rife, but only amongst the masses. Meet the divided mighty mountain orcs and ogre clans, the dwarven excavation workers, witches, cultists and even the occasional troll or serpent...the land is steeped in history and pain, the ideal focus for a small scholar as part of his studies. Amongst the many peoples struggling to survive, the barons and lords still strive to devise more and more ingenious ways of increasing their riches and influence...skulduggery and mischief the norm across the dilapidated towns and countryside. As the adventure continues, discover the Inns of Sanctuary, Goblin enterprises and flying machines, disgruntled villagers and the colourful dancing travelling troupes...opposing barons and elites, clowns and druids. Discover how a once revered country has become fragmented and divided, and that the folklore and rumours seeping across the differing residents may actually hold some truth about how it all happened...no matter how unbelievable. Brexitland: A Tale of Medieval Skulduggery and Goblin Greed is a tongue-in-cheek fantasy adventure/political satire that may illuminate the darkness and futility of division and hatred, but also a contortion of will to achieve the goals of greed. Will the adventurers find the sunny uplands, see the grazing and sparkling unicorns and a country that was promised to become the envy of the developed world...or is reality far bleaker? An adventure is afoot...a revealing and disturbing insight into the demise of once a powerful democracy...perhaps leading to an incredible revelation. Just who are these bickering adventurers and why have they come to these shores? All things happen for a reason and perhaps this quest is becoming one of the most crucial of all...
