[QUOTE="Robert Ranting, post: 3943690, member: 28906"] Good to hear that this idea is working out for your group! This thread has inspired me to work on my own non-core setting, which I have aptly named Naankhor ;) . Set several thousand years after the fall of the Human civilization, the two dominant races of the world, the Illumians and the Aventi are poised on the brink of war over theological differences. The Illumians blame the fall of the Human Empire and the Dark Age which followed it on the humans' rampant study of all magic, and on their putting faith in the Old Gods. Afraid of the broad range of power available to true wizards and sorcerers, they have made efforts to segregate the different types of spellcasting traditions so that no individual can study all the schools of magic, and thereby court madness. Moreover, they see anyone who would worship the Old Gods as dangerously misguided, putting their faith in beings who probably instigated the destruction of Mankind in their endless need for worship, sacrifice, and warfare in their name. While the Aventi agree with the notion that arcane magic probably played a role in the destruction of humanity, they fundamentally disagree when it comes to the Old Gods. Their patron deity, Aventernus is one such deity, and he is credited with the preservation of their people through the Fall and the Dark Age, and they refuse to cease worshiping him. With War looming, moderates from both sides have come together to discover the truth of what happened to the human civilization. To this end, they have hired a rag-tag group of politically neutral adventurers to delve into the ruins of the human civilization to look for clues and to recover artifacts from that time. Of course, the undead remnants of Humanity, and their various servants, not to mention wandering monsters have taken up residence in such places in the intervening time... It definately promises to be fun! A list of classes and races I plan on using for this campaign can be found at [URL]http://naankhor.pbwiki.com[/URL] Robert "Weird Variants Appeal to Me" Ranting [/QUOTE]
