Children of the Ironlands

This site is a collection of the tales and legends of the Ironlands.   The Ironlands is a vast peninsula in the northern ocean. The people who now refer to themselves as Ironlanders settled here two generations ago, cast out of their homelands by a catastrophic war. Since that time, they have survived but not prospered.   The Ironlands are a harsh, dangerous place. The winters are long and brutal. Harvests are uncertain. The rugged terrain makes travel and trade difficult and dangerous. Much of the land is unexplored and uninhabited, except by the firstborn—beings such as elves, giants, and the wolf-like varou. Even in the settled regions, monstrous beasts and dreaded horrors are a constant threat.   Despite, or perhaps because of this, some individuals manage to rise above their peers: brave warriors, monster-hunters, and fierce warlords. Hailed during their time as heroes or villains, they are destined to become the stuff of legends.   This campaign world is based on the RPG Ironsworn by Shawn Tomkin.
