Radikar: The BeastworldCore Ethos Sentence: Stalwart adventurers face off against powerful beast lords in the aftermath of a great empire’s collapse.Who Are The Heroes? The heroes of Radikar are members of the societies left behind by the collapse of the once-vast Sulradikan Empire.  Facing a world unprotected by Sulradikan occupation, Radikar’s heroes often fight to protect their homes or their societies from  the beast lords and other evils that walk the land.  The core domain of Sulradikar itself still stands, a bastion of civilization in the post-Empire wilds, and some heroes are Sulradikans who have decided to search for adventure in the “lawless” realms of their once-great state.  What Do They Do? The heroes of Radikar battle beast lords in an attempt to save their way of life.  PCs may protect the villagers of a threatened  countryside, assist the newly established governments of  volitile city-states, or fight against  tyrannical rulers looking to take advantage of the Sulradikan’s abandonment.  PCs may even travel into the lands still held by the Sulradikan Empire, where political intrigue runs deep and the Empire struggles to regain stability.  Threats, Conflicts, and Villains? Radikar is at the mercy of great beast lords, monsterous warlords who dominate armies of savage beasts and humanoid tribes.  These beast lords are engaged in a viscious land grab to claim the cities, fortifications, and resources abandoned by the Sulradikan Empire.  Each beast lord is self-serving and single-minded; they are at war with one another and the world at large, and they do not care who or what gets crushed in the conflict.  Their actions threaten the last pockets of civilization the Sulradikar left behind, including several cities, states, and terretories struggling to establish themselves in the sudden power vacuum.      In addition, dangerous monsters roam the lands, including dire animals and vicious creatures once kept in check by the Sulradikan army.  These wild things make travel dangerous, provide ripe poulations for the beast lords to cull new troops, and threaten the pockets of civilization the Sulradikans left behind.  The Nature of Magic: The basic nature of magic remains unchanged in Radikar, though access to the true Wizard and Cleric classes are limited to adventurers with roots in certain areas--specifically, the centers of Sulradikan civilization .  Across the rest of Radikar, druids, sorcerers, and adepts rule the ways of magic.    The beast lords have their own kind magical power.  They are possessed of wild magics, hidden since before the time of the Empire and untamed by the civilized Sulradikan mages.  The powers of the beast lords can be used in many ways  ... ways some heroes may discover through their adventures, and turn to their advantage against their savage enemies.What’s New?  What’s Different?  The powerful and dangerous beast lords represent unique beings of strange abilites and even stranger armies.  Their drive to conquer Radikar makes them a direct and immediate threat, and their savage battles help create a dynamic landscape ripe for adventure.  Their intent to conquer the very lands the heroes call home lets even the most minor swordsman or sorceress directly affect the future of Radikar.  The beast lords, while powerful, are not invulnerable; even defeating a  single beast lord may strengthen an existing terretory, enable a city to declare itself a state, or weaken another beast lord so that it, too, may be defeated.</blockquote>
