[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 8778873, member: 9053"] As someone who played through the computer game (and is looking forward to running this in PF2): the name Stolen Lands comes from the fact that this region is constantly changing hands with "rulers" rising and falling all the time. What that means is actually a plot point in the game, so I won't say any more about it. As far as the "Vanishing" goes, the inspiration is very Roanoke inspired, but only in that it's a story of people just vanishing. The actual plot relates again to some setting lore and was something I really enjoyed playing through. It has nothing do do with American colonialism. From playing and finishing the computer game, there really isn't a sense of colonialism going on here. You get involved with some major forces not of this world, which is all I should say so as to not spoil things. Edited to add: the other name for the region is the River Kingdoms, which might be a less charged way to refer to them. [/QUOTE]
