I am going to be starting a D&D 2024 campaign soon, and I need a setting for it that is relatively self contained. I am thinking something no bigger than Britain, and probably smaller. I don't think a single city is big enough, but maybe you can convince me otherwise.
The premise of the campaign is that a very terrible and powerful individual has taken over the setting and the PCs are all people who have been wronged by this horrible being. (I am only being vague because I haven't quite decided on the exact nature of the BBEG, but I am leaning hard toward evil wizard-king-usurper.) They are going to start at 1st level and the motivating force behind their adventures is simply: kill that SOB. It is going to be a player driven sandbox, where they get to decide how they want to go about gaining the power and resources necessary to finally take the BBEG down.
I need a setting that can fit enough factions and secrets and locations and treasures that the players can decide what they want and how to get it on their way to kill the BBEG, within a campaign intended to go from 1 to high teens or even 20.
What setting would you recommend? Note, it does not have to be current or even official D&D.
Thanks!
