Earth

Old roads cross a world whose rulers cannot agree who owns them.

Overview

Earth is a familiar world in the year 867, where Roman roads cross lands ruled by young kingdoms, ambitious counts, and communities that remember older borders. The Frankish empire has fractured, Norse ships probe rivers and coasts, and the church binds distant peoples without settling every dispute. Most people farm, trade, pray, and bargain for protection. Magic is rare enough to inspire argument, while a bad harvest or broken oath can alter a whole region's fate.

The world

ShapeA round world
What it is likeEarth is a round planet with familiar continents, seas, and climates; these regions mark a western and central European campaign frame.
How people travelTravel follows roads, rivers, coasts, and seasonal passes; journeys are slow, dangerous, and shaped by tolls, weather, and local protection.

Laws of the world

The rules

MagicMagic is uncommon and subtle: charms, relics, visions, and healing rites may work, but no one can command reliable spectacle.
TechnologyMedieval tools and transport define daily life: ironwork, timber halls, sailboats, horses, mills, and scarce written records.
Death and soulsMost believe the dead await judgment, though local customs persist; restless spirits are rare, feared, and difficult to distinguish from rumor.

Special rules

A sworn oath before witnesses carries serious social and supernatural weight.
Relics may inspire devotion, but their powers are disputed and inconsistent.

The skies

SkiesA familiar sky of shifting cloud, sea mist, and long winter darkness; people read weather and birds as signs, though such signs are uncertain.
Moons and stars

The Sun, The Moon

SeasonsThe year follows four seasons and the church calendar, while local planting, harvest, and sailing customs set the practical measure of time.

Ages

3 ages
Charlemagne's empire united much of the west, then split among heirs; Norse raids and rival noble houses now test its borders.
