[QUOTE="pogre, post: 1699595, member: 6588"] My campaign is named for the central city Zandyrium. Zandyrium is based on historical Byzantium in the late 14th century. The former head of an expansive continental empire that united the Norsican north and the Thraegian south. Neglect and bureaucracy has slowly led to the demise of the empire as city after city fell. Now Zandyrium stands as a great trading city with illusions of grandeur and power. The bureaucracy has its head buried in the sand while threats converge from all directions. In the meantime, while humanity wrestles with the barbaric hordes, a new empire is rising - and it isn't good... Humans are the base PC race (as per D&D), but not necessarily the dominant world race. It's mostly straight D&D with a couple minor twists. Galtikvalt a Dwarven city is the main resource Zauberstahl ore - a key ingredient in creating powerful magic arms and armor. Only Zauberstahl can hold +3 enchantments or higher. Another Dwarven outpost, Buldarvalt has ceased communications with Zandyrium following a diplomatic snafu. Galtikvalt is under siege and the main river leading to the ancient Dwarven City is cut-off. [/QUOTE]
