Welcome to Ruslavia
Ruslavia is a setting based on medieval Russian and Slavic folklore and fairytales. The land of Ruslavia is split into six main areas, outlined here:
The Cherti Mountains of the West are a highly religious territory, following the
Orthobog religion of the two brother gods
Belabog and
Chernabog. Recently they have started setting their sights eastward towards their pagan neighbours, with a
missionary zeal.
The Forest of Frost is a magical conniferous forest full of pagan magic and spirits. Just watch out for the powerful hag covens, not to mention the grandmother witch herself, Baba Yaga!
The Hoary Wastes are in a constant war with the rest of Ruslavia, with seemingly no goal other than to consume the other states into itself. Trolls, giants, mounted dwarves and even some of the
Zmei make up the attacking hordes.
Wealthy Ketterzan is the central region of Ruslavia, and its capital
Ketterburg is the seat of the
Tzar of Ruslavia.
Southern Moss Covia is a thin coastal strip, rife with pirates, thugs and gangsters. Visitors enter at their own peril, but the possible gains that can be found at the blackmarkets make it a worthwhile risk. Just as long as they have enough gold that they can afford to avoid the most treacherous areas.
The frozen tundra of the Sabrelands, ruled by the
Winter Witches lies at the north of Ruslavia. Winter Wolves, Worgs and other creatures who have adapted to the Boreal climate stalk this dangerous territory.
