Swashbuckler
High Fantasy & High Adventure
The Gods walk amongst us. The Elements serve Them. But the Elemental Lords will not be slaves forever.
Once, the Old Empire was a place where elves, dwarves, and men ruled, but the Giants overcame the Palian Wall and smashed the Old World. The colonies in Seldor carry on the heritage of the Old Empire, but had to overcome a dark age following the Imperial Fall. The ruins of the Old World remain for those who can brave the turbulent oceans.

In addition, technology is generally assumed to be at the “advanced firearms” stage and the size of community determines the availability of guns. Cities are the “Guns Everywhere” availability, while towns and smaller are at the “Commonplace Guns” level of availability. Rare is a community that doesn’t have a gunsmith, or a blacksmith who can at least fix a gun.
