[QUOTE="Blarkon Dragonslayer, post: 3327598, member: 49372"] In order :) : The average person knows about the various lands of the Shattered Sea, at least by reputation. In a very general sense, the layout of the known lands is also known. Maps do exist, but mapmaking isn't very exact, and details and scale are often very far from reality on the ground. I don't have any specific houserules that I use. That said, I do tend to tinker with monsters and so forth, but that's more adventure design then rules changes. This world has a power level I would say is moderate. Your average person is a 1st to 3rd level commoner, your average soldier about the same in warrior. Characters above 10th level tend to make it into stories told around campfires, at about 15th they get into the ranks of the famous, and beyond 20th they are indeed epic heroes. Epic characters are fairly thin on the ground, and many of those that do exist tend to operate out of the public eye as often as can be managed. Helmanor is a known place o'evil, the Mage-Emperor is an epic wizard lich, and uses legions of hobgoblins to enforce his rule. There are evil groups, places, and individuals on all the islands. Just north of Avonleigh the kingdom across the Greystone mountains is a large area overrun by orcs, drow, and giants, known as the Runefields. It used to be a duchy of Avonleigh till the Darkrune drow decided to return to the surface and wreak havoc. [/QUOTE]
