[QUOTE="Ceresco, post: 3563798, member: 8585"] My homebrew is set on Earth before the first of the three Great Floods that announce the end of the last Ice Age. I got most of my inspiration from Graham Hancock's book, "Underworld." The setting is actaully designed to be played in three different eras, each taking place shortly before one of the imminent floods that inspired the Noah's Flood myth. The most dominant culture is what will eventually be called Atlantis. I use maps designed to show the geography of the Earth before each stage of flooding so that most of the previous cultures cities and artifacts are underwater. I also use current theories and anthropological and archaeological discoveries to keep it as realistic as possible. For example, the land bridge that connects Asia to Australia is the homeland for halfling sized humanoids. Dwarves are [I]Neandertals[/I] who have been driven into the mountains by encroaching [I]Homo sapiens[/I]. The Tuatha (elves) come from a parallel dimension where they fight an eternal war against demonically twisted and augmented captured Tuatha slaves (orcs). Goblinoids are the results of breeding programs run by the Avyan (Atlantian) civilization who have enslaved various [I]Homo[/I] species (ie. [I]Homo erectus, Homo Anthropithicus[/I]). [/QUOTE]
