Summer Camp 2021 Imaginaerium: Day 19

Hello everyone!

For any fantasy setting looking to have some epic wars, it can be useful to understand just how armies were trained, raised, and supplied. It was quite the project.

Of course, any youtube video is going to be light on the detail, but its enough to give you an idea. Even if you don't have the standard feudal system in your fantasy world, it's useful to get an understanding for just the scale of some of these logistics, or the impact of disease, starvation and more. It isn't often addressed just how brutal those could be - more people might die from disease and just getting to the battlefield than on it. Fun! Here's another resource on that: Disease in the Medieval Armies: the Invisible Enemy And here's some music to keep you company while you write:

“They sacrificed to daemons, no-gods,
Gods they had never known,
New ones, who came but lately,
Who stirred not your fathers’ fears.”

The world stands at the dawn of the 21st century, entering an uncertain age. Monsters and magic, powers ancient beyond measure, lurk in the dark. In the shadows, another world lies next to our own, both a sanctuary and prison - a place beyond the reach of mortals. Welcome to Shedim, a dark occult world of horror and wonder. It is our modern world, where magic lurks in the dark and hides in an alternative dimension called the Shadow. In it walk both heroes and villains, prisoners and jailors, horrors and hope. In it, armaggedon awaits - or salvation.
