Scarred Lands: Ask the Sage

[megamania]

Totally off the past subjects...

When I first read the books on this campaign world, I felt a bit of kinship between it and Darksun. Was there a connection or just plain luck?

War of gods devistates world vs War of races that devistates the world
Mutations from gods vs Pristine Tower mutations
dark edgy feel vs dark edgy feel
new races vs new standard PC races

I don't believe it was intentional, but I DO think the creators or at least the people in charge wanted less of the old school D&D from some of 1st and 2nd edition and wanted more of a "thinking man's" type of world. In any case I can see the parallels to Dark Sun. I just don't readily buy it as much since the prevalance of psionics is much lower, arcane magic doesn't hurt the land, just the people. (Usually!) Also the fact the gods didn't just up and vanish after causing the mess. They stayed on. Good for them!

yup yup

Anyway since it's the weekend I wonder if there are any REAL SL related questions:

Like maybe a review of some of the releases for the Scarred Lands.

Perhaps some question regarding the history of the Sutak? Or maybe even "Should I get CC 3?" type of questions?

funny you should mention CC3 I was flipping through it today. What are your thoughts on it?

Dragons or the lack of them and questions

Okay, what to all the dragons? I mean they are super rare on the land where much of the cool stuff happens.

And second questions: do the dark dwarves realized their god has casted them aside? And does their god realized that this open the door for other gods to take his created people away from him?

Yes! My first double post!

I like the Dark Tirumvate and a lot of the other things. But mostly I'm glad I got in. The new wracks were of interest.

The dragons either left Scarn or went to the furtherest places away from any, and made their own lands. The Dragon Isles are mostly home to those that stayed on.

And yes, as Faithful and Forsaken does talk about this in great detail. As for whether Chardun knows or cares, no idea. I do know it's caused a great stir as a deist movement has grown and some have actually started worshipping other gods (in secret mind you!), such as Belsameth and even Hedrada. But the mostly conservative Charduni in charge are quick to put down such stuff. Most of the ardent Charduni though believe their god needs to be impressed by fighting and conquest and thus are building up their resources to start a new campaign of conquest.

In need of a bump...

What does Vesh consider its northern border? The southern shore of the Blood Basin and its major rivers?
