About the adventure

Dragonbane - A great ruleset, that gives you everything you need to play a gritty and immersive setting like Harnworld. with all the flexibility you need to create richly detailed characters that feel like they would inhabit a medieval world. Harn - an earthy early medieval setting loosely based on 11th Century England, but steeped in fantasy elements. Many of a very unique nature. This mixture of familiar and unfamiliar provides a great environment for player characters to explore, as they discover more about the world they live in as the players themselves do the same. . MORE ABOUT THE SETTING: Harnworld is a role-playing game campaign set on the fictional planet Kethira, and focussed mainly on Hârn, an island about three times the size of Great Britain, as well as Lythia, the world's largest continent. Broadly based on Norman England, it is a ‘historical’ low-fantasy setting with magic and mythical creatures. In this campaign, you will begin in the Feudal region of Kaldor: Kaldor is a land-locked feudal kingdom in eastern Hârn. Since its founding more than 500 years ago, external threats have been minimal but internal strife has been common. The current dynasty, Clan Elendsa, has sought to uphold the traditional principles of feudalism, chivalry, and royal justice. King Miginath Elendsa is popular with the common people because he has kept the kingdom prosperous and at peace. King Miginath is in poor health and has never married, leaving the succession a matter of contention between three bastard sons and a score of nieces and nephews. Intermarriage with other noble clans and the granting of royal offices in exchange for concessions has created a complicated web of alliances that may discourage a civil war when the king dies. While he lives, the factions plot and scheme for advantages.
