The World

Edrin is a living sphere crossed by ancient roads that remember every kingdom, traveler, and promise made upon them. Magic is common enough to warm homes, heal wounds, and settle disputes, but old roads are waking and choosing new destinations. Fallen kingdoms leave contested ruins, newly risen crowns recruit desperate allies, and long-lived realms struggle to preserve laws that no longer fit a world where wanderborne caravans and ridgeborne settlements hold real power.

Form · Sphere

Edrin is a full, habitable planet with broad continents, deep oceans, polar ice, and one major interconnected landmass where most campaign regions lie.

Traversal

Travel follows roads, rivers, coastal waters, mountain passes, and magically responsive waystones; the oldest routes may change when travelers break or fulfill a promise.

The Ages

  1. The Waking

    First Age

    The first peoples learned that magic flowed through every living thing, shaping old roads, speaking stones, and bloodlines that still define the world's many ancestries.

  2. The Long Crowns

    Middle Age

    Ancient kingdoms rose across the continents, joined by trade and broken by wars among humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, halflings, goblins, faeries, and other peoples.

  3. The Broken Thrones

    Recent Age

    Several kingdoms collapsed through famine, rebellion, and succession wars, while wanderborne clans and ridgeborne settlements filled the empty roads and high passes.

  4. The Open Crown

    Current Age

    New kingdoms claim abandoned lands as old borders fail, and common magic makes every village powerful enough to challenge a throne.

A newly crowned ruler offers land and titles to anyone who can recover the oathstone that proves the old kingdom's borders.

The Unburied Path

A ridgeborne fortress and a wanderborne caravan both claim the same ancient bridge, whose living stones recognize only one community as its rightful keeper.

The oldest surviving crowns are built on an erased treaty.

Discovery · Old royal records contradict the borders shown on every modern map.
