The fur robes of the Imperial Court originate not from a loom in the Weaver’s District but in a clearing hewn from the Ancients’ Wilderness, far from ‘Civilisation’ and its protections.

Two roads diverged in a feywood, and I—
I took the one with the sound of singing, music and revelry,
And that has made all the difference (and is why I shall never see my home plane again).**

Toil is the certainty which defines the life of a peasant. Long days in the field, planting, tending and harvesting. Wet, muddy work under an uncaring sky. Harvest celebrations provide a momentary reprieve from the daily grind. After harvest comes the fear. Will the Daimyo tax more this year ...

The sound of iron clashing into iron rings louder than the cacophony of traders extolling the virtues of their wares. The shoppers leave the merchants and race to the Death Pit for a drink, a stool and view of the carnage. Wagers are swiftly negotiated between the touts and their marks,...

Welcome travelers to the the First and Last Hotel. Reggie will take your bags. Visitors from Worldside, to be sure. Ale, mead or wine? You here for the view, some research or planing? Judging by the aromas of your chests, you are hoping to go Astral. Good luck with that, but I'll l...

There are worse ways to make a living. It’s relaxing sitting back, pipe in mouth and watching them rocks. Big stone slabs, covered in runes, floating in the air, did I mention above a mystic pond? Got to hand it to those Ancients, they built big and built to last. No idea why they did it th...

Deep in the woods, as the pilgrims soon learn, silence and serenity are rare. Birds and wolves, add the odd bandits and ogres weed out those of weaker faith and arms (armour helps too).

Here today, raiding the next town tomorrow, the Horde never stays anywhere long. Relentless, remorseless and just plain brutal. Fear, spreading faster than their famed steeds, grips realms on news of the Horde’s arrival.

The rhythmic beating of the drums, heard over the roar of the waves and screeching of the gulls, heralds the arrival of the Shogun’s fleet. The Atakebune, pride of the fleet, a floating fortress loaded with artillerists, archers and samurai instils fear as it glides out from the mists. Wise...

Hi
There is a time and place for maps of all sizes. You will probably not be surprised to hear that in our games, we tend to play on larger maps, with ambushes, cover PCs and NPCs moving all over the place. That said, we also use smaller maps as suits the scene.
What map sizes d...

At first glance, the sylvan glade offers respite from the rugged, primeval wilderness. Eerie silence, after the fey harmonies, is the first hint something is off. The bones are confirmation.
If you squint hard enough, the bones could just be those of wild horses or deer. Antlers are not lon...
