This document is intended to be the first page created for the new
5th Edition Campaign. Although today it is January 10th, 2018 I have
been working toward this result for almost a year. Most of the work
has been spent reading and understanding the rules and creating a
web site with the rules ready to go. More recently I have been
updating and expanding the Berth map of the Norcompia area where the
initial game will take place. I know that there will still be things
missing, but I feel I have enough done now to start the campaign.
I am going to start small and ref games just for Lisa at 1st level
then add Cindy and Dale in at first level and bring them up to 3rd
level (and maybe more) before adding any more players. Here are some
disjointed notes about stuff to do with the new game!
They are in the 5th Empire of the 4th
Civilization!
1 Moon - Called Nilit The Third Civilization was ended by a
collision between a large meteor and the moon. The meteor split it
into 2 peices and a debris field. The 3 are in very different
orbits. The smaller piece is named "the Hawk" It is moving very fast
and circles Berth 2.5 times a day. The larger piece is called
Lilnilit and circles the globe 1.2 times a day. Another meteor
struck the planet and ended the 3rd civilization.
The debris field intersects the planet orbit and the orbit of the
larger moon. These times are known as bad omen times. The
intersection occurs every 5.2 years. While the largest effect of
this is a dramatic display of meteorites that can even be seen
(rarely) during the daylight. Dozens of meteors can be seen every
minute at the height of the intersection which lasts about 3 days.
Occassionaly, a large moon piece hits the ground, and twice large
pieces have hit the ground causing earthquakes and distrubing the
weather for years afterword due to dust and ash propelled into the
atmosphere.
Lisa is my first player She is generously playing solo before folks
get here to help get the kinks out!
The first adventure is an outdoor trek from the Lake Clotha are to
Helia on the Western sea where one of the players has inherited a
castle. One of the areas they will pass through will be a fey forest
who will only let them pass if they perform a action.
