This story hour is not actually based on a campain with PCs. I am between games, and have been for a while. But I'm working on a world, and the easiest way for me to flesh it out is through fiction. And so I've been writing.
Some basics about the campain world:
Its set on a map of Europe. The history runs sort of like earth's, save that most nations, rather than only differeing culturly, are actually seperate fantasy races. And there is magic and magical monsters.
The world as it is is set up politically like the Renaissance, but I have gathered cool quirks from all over history. In any case, the lands are set up roughly like this, as compared to a traditional map of Europe:
England: Kobolds and various other reptilians. They worship a beetle god and have a strong female monarch (get the insect pun?)
Spain: Elves. They are set up much like a traditional elf monarchy forest area, save that they have flying magic-powered ships as thier "Spainish Armada." And they are actually material plane giths, cousins of the githzerai and githyanki.
France: Orcs! This was mostly just because french accents and orc grunts are just so similer and hilarious... and I had no where else to put them.
Germany: Gnomes. this actually makes sense in the context of germany being a rather peaceful idyllic place at the time. Sort of...
Russia: Communist Dwarves. Moradin and Engles hit the shelves a few hundred years early, and now the stoic dwarves work not just for gold, but for Mother Russia as well. Plus... I get to use the Dwarven KGB.
and finally Italy. It is the last basition of humans. In this world, the roman empire lasted a lot longer than it did in ours, because the emperor himself was a demigod of magic. They had a theocracy (rule by priests and emperor/god), and still do. Basically imagine the sorcerer kings from dark sun. Only itallian.
Africa and the americas are unexplored, and i haven't given thought to the middle east or the balkans.
Anyway... here's the first installment of the story....
