A Night at the Blue Dragon Inn
World Background
In the beginning there was nothing.
To that nothing came the ten gods of the beginning.
- Sart, the Mother/Father (Lawful Good)
- Terinak, the Honourable Warrior (Lawful Neutral)
- Calor and Calar, the Twins (Lawful Evil/Chaotic Good)
- Dyale, the Benefactor (Neutral Good)
- Ley, the Bearer of Knowledge (True Neutral)
- Hys, the Assassin (Neutral Evil)
- Vous of the Song (Chaotic Neutral)
- Undred, Mistress of Pain and Suffering (Chaotic Evil)
- The Goddess of the Living Earth (True Neutral)
They exerted their will on the nothing and the nothing became something, and from that something the world as we know it was formed.
The world existed in harmony for many an age until the great war a thousand years when Undred was banished from the realm by the will of the other gods, banned never to return.
Geography
Hillsbrook is on the southern edge of what is considered civilised territory and the Capital is a few weeks journey to the north. The area to the south used to be part of the Kingdom but suffered badly in the great war, and was abandoned. Adventurers tend to travel south of Hillsbrook to explore the ruined areas, or to the far north and the Arctic wastelands.
Governance
Within the lands of the Kingdom, all land is owned by the King and “leased” to the people in the form of a tax. Local Lords manage areas on the Kings behalf.
