Rysh on a fan-made map of Axeoth
Rysh is one of the continents of Axeoth, appearing in Might and Magic IX.
History[]
Almost all of the continent was under the rule of the Ursanian Empire. But dark mage Verhoffin cast a mighty spell from his tower on the Isle of Ashes. The spell caused a Great Cataclysm that destroyed most of Rysh's landscape. It was one of two reasons (the second one being the murder of the emperor Trandis) why the Ursanian Empire pulled apart. After the Great Cataclysm new nations arose, like Beldonia, Framon, and Chedian.

When the lands were threatened by an invasion from the Barbarians of Beldonia, a group of adventurers was tasked with uniting the Jarls of all six nations and defending their homeland.
