Tempest Heart Campaign
I have been working on this Campaign World off and on for the last few years. It has evolved quite a bit since the first incarnation. The first game played in the Tempest Heart World is underway (see the Honor Among Thieves link)
The basic premise behind the Tempest Heart world is that there was a large magical battle between two groups of spellcasters several thousand years ago. The results of the battle were horrific in the death toll, but perhaps even more frightening was the damage to the land itself. A huge crater almost a hundred miles in diameter was rent into the earth. Magical Tempests were spawned that seemed drawn to magic. These Tempests destroyed and warped creatures in their paths, and even today they still howl around the Blasted Lands, creating abominations and monsters that wander out into more civilized lands. In the aftermath various cultures sprung up and a general distrust of magic abounds, especially in lands bordering the Blasted Lands. |
