Scope
The motivation behind building Nasza Ziemia: Land of Wonders
A world that can fit any D&D character, class, race, or idea within; even those that haven't come out yet. If something is cool and a player wants to do it, it should have a place here.
The goal of the project
A little homebrew world where I can play with/rip off MTG characters, art, and plotlines so my players don't have to learn the lore for six whole gods-damned planes and the lore is hugely incomplete with big holes and infuriating timelines in it anyway. Maybe I can help my players fall in love with these stories & characters.
Nasza Ziemia: Land of Wonders's Unique Selling point
Regardless of one's origins, the world is referred to in every language as "Our Land".

Character Agency
Players can absolutely affect change in the world. It would be preferred if they don't break some of the traditions, though.
If they want to support a candidate for Rose Monarch, they can do so. However, unless they establish during character creation that they are a member of a rose clan, they won't be able to make themselves Rose Monarch.
