Message: <blockquote data-quote="mhacdebhandia" data-source="post: 4036156" data-attributes="member: 18832">The setting I was originally planning on designing for Fourth Edition had only three races: humans, dragonborn, and tieflings.The humans would be a recently-exiled group of discontents from a rising empire called the Patria, on another continent across a wide ocean. They would never have encountered another intelligent species before running into both the dragonborn and the tieflings in this new land.I had a loose setup inspired by North America. The dragonborn filled the role of nomadic clans wandering the plains, unable to settle for more then a decade or so at a time because of nigh-inevitable assaults from vengeful tiefling cities of the south.The tieflings were based on the Mexican and South American nations - I envisioned city-states struggling to survive after the fragmentation of a greater empire. I was making use of the tiefling and dragonborn backstory of conflict and mutual annihilation; my own twist was that the tieflings were not cursed by the gods who opposed their infernal patrons, but by their infernal patrons themselves as punishment for their failure. They had overextended themselves in the conflict with the dragonborn and suffered a total social, economic, and even ecological collapse.So, their first contact would be with the dragonborn, and then later with tieflings from the south. Could have been okay, but I'm off the idea now. I'll probably rework it later. Certainly, I'll be doing something else for my first homebrewed setting.</blockquote>
