And each kingdom plays like a different game. I ask the players which kingdom they want to play and insert the game elements.Swamp KingdomLevel: 10+Magic: LowHighest Pillar: Exploration Variants: Uses Sanity plus othersGames in the Swamp Kingdom of Wu mostly involve searching for people and items lost in the undead infested land of this nation. There are few cities and few people so there are few intelligent people to talk to who are willing to spare you a favor. Adventures are mostly about going from point A to point B and back without going insane or dying. Martial characters leak into the Exalted/High Fantasy territory as common monsters are Zombified Giants and vampire spawn swarms. Magic is low. Because of their level, most fighters have either a magic weapon or armor but having both typically means you took it from someone els who you either killed or was depending on you.Steel KingdomLevel: 1-5Magic: HIGHHighest Pillar: All equalSteel Kingdom adventures play like straight dungeon crawls. You enter a dungeon, kill monsters, disarm traps, befriend some inhabitants, and grab treasure. The main tweak is the magic item shops owned by the magic guilds.and churches. So death is a speed bump and everyone looks like a Christmas tree. Players should they survive can invest in grafted limbs, permanent magic buffs, and life insurance where cleric are bound to resurrect you after death ahead of time. Ebberon on steroids.Plains KingdomLevel: AnyMagic: StandardHighest Pillar: Interaction and CombatGame is the land of The Krittons of the Plains is just "local lord hires heroes to kill orchestra and dragons". Charisma rolls are no done for Interaction. Instead Charisma affect your reputation rolls. All success and failure is determined by your current rep. Players talk it out but the strict adherence to the mobile caste system is the biggest roadblock.Sand Kingdom Sand Kingdom is low level low magic Dark Sun. Forest KingdomLevel: AnyMagic: AnyHighest Pillar: InteractionAs the Forest kingdom is actually a weak alliance of three rival eleven factions, there is little fighting but a lot of talking. Charisma is powerful and players really focus on social skills and player character ability replacement is high.</blockquote>
