Restarted my 5E setting.
Restarted my 5E setting. Inspired by Chris Kutalik's World Turtle. I present to you the World of GURGAXIA, and my current notes:
The world turns and every few thousand years the Great Cosmic Dragon returns to stomp out life and create it anew.
The world of GURGAXIA exists inside the footprint of the Cosmic Dragon. It is now the 5th Age of Gurgaxia over the last 40,000 years.
The Original Dawn of Gurgaxia
-An age of discovery, wild lands populated by primitive societies. Little organization, chaos reigned supreme. Mad Wizards ruled and delved deep to create their lairs.
The 1st Age
-Society advanced, and codified rules of law were set down. There were still wild pockets of Chaos and Mad Wizards.
The 2nd Age
-Multiple world settlements occured, the culture was bland and diluted.
The 3rd Age
-A new age for Gurgaxia, a land rules by mighty heroes with feats of derring-do. The gates to multiple worlds were opened, and could not be closed again.
The 4th Age
-In an effort to close off the other worlds, heroes became gods amongst men. Society was unrecognizable to those who might have lived in the earlier ages.
The 5th Age
-The 5th age dawns and man emerges into a world with remnants of earlier ages and worlds still trapped in Gurgaxia.
The world turns and every few thousand years the Great Cosmic Dragon returns to stomp out life and create it anew.
I welcome any notes or details you think should be added. I have not drilled down to any area of the map yet, just had to get the dragon foot print on paper.
so if i take a heart crew and a ship and sail for the edge do i fall off?
ReplyDeleteNo, but you run into the veil of stars and perpetual darkness.
ReplyDeleteNot that you could convince a crew to follow you.
ReplyDeleteThe town of Adilbomb (inside the Hill Shires) is run by Mayor Tom Goldenberry also known as the Toll King. He has collected a tax on all trade goods beyond the river that pass on to the city of Khregaw.
ReplyDeleteOf course the rulers of that city refuse to acknowledge that the Toll King has any influence over their beloved realm.
