Scope

The motivation behind building Midterra

I wanted to build a new world that was wholly populated by my friends. The shells and hollow container that I have built should be filled with the actions of the players' adventures. In doing so, the world begins to feel more fleshed out and completely custom to our liking.

Theme

Genre

Think early 14th century technology in a Witcher/Elder Scrolls style theme. Of course, some elements of steampunk culture bleed into the world through the workings of the Gnomes and their crazy advanced technologies. Magic, artifacts, creation, exploration, and war!

Focus

New World Oriented   There is so much to fully explore and understand in this world. Many will be eager to hear news of the world along your travels. Some asking for aid, others wishing to experience Midterra for themselves!
Faction Influence   The separate factions aren't super friendly with everyone. They each have their favorites and disliked. Unfortunately that means a lot has gone sideways in regards to interrelations between groups.
Religious Influence   Organized religion doesn't really exist yet. There are a small minority of people who believe that there MUST be something more than them in existence, but they are not sure what. This can spur those of a more belligerent disposition in this category to create cults to spread their beliefs.
Technology Influence   Its a new world with new technologies to discover! If you can think it (and roll correctly) you can create it! Within reason and at DM discretion of course...

Drama

The elves and dwarves really dislike each other. The constant wars and betrayal probably don't have anything to do with it though, I'm sure.
Humans begin to build up their society after claiming their freedom from the slavery at the hands of the elves. At the same time, they are repelling a massive threat of the Army of Ran Gor. Not exactly opportune.
An evil entity has been accounted moving through the land. It brings chaos and disease wherever it goes. Is it acting alone?
