World of Malyk: Meta
Motivation
The world of Malyk is created for world building with role playing in mind, for the D&D 5e role playing system. It is meant to create a unique interpretation of how a setting would play out if a planet was separated from the rest of the universe. This forces this setting to have rules specific to this setting, without being to alien.
Genre
High fantasy with modern era technology science fiction. All the magic that would exists within a D&D setting, with technology that is explained by magic. The story takes place in the setting's fourth era, where five empires and two independent nations are what is left of the world, rebuilt after the third era's near extinction level war.
Scale
- For the initial scope, the focus was on the northern continent of Nor, focusing on the Empire of Ulstrom as a dark fantasy, where the people are oppressed by their Vampire Rulers.
- Now in the second campaign in this setting, the focus will be on the continent of Midara, where the Midaran Council acts as peacekeepers to the rest of the world of Malyk. This campaign will take place across the entire planet of Malyk, but focus on one continent at a time.
