Setting
The new campaign will be set in Arcadia, a kingdom that spans across numerous islands. It is home to humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and the animen (half animal / half men) along with various monsters.
The characters will begin their adventure on Chrysalis Isle, in the town of Dawnspeek (on the eastern coast).
Political Structure
King Dormand reigns over Arcadia, but it is known that he prefers carousing over ruling. As a result, day-to-day governance has been handed over to the kingdom chancellor, Prelate Reynald.
Recently, there are complaints that Reynald has raised taxes too high. He responds that there is a need to strengthen defenses in the wake of attacks by the Reavers, barbarians from northern waters.
The King's Legion keeps the peace throughout Arcadia. Prelate Reynald presides over an order of holy warriors known as the Templars, who assist the Legion.
Religion
There are 3 principal deities of Arcadia:
- Daeus, the god of heavens, sky, and sun. Daeism is the official faith of the Arcadian kingdom. Sigil = a sun
- Altarra, the goddess of the earth and nature. The druids are her priests. Sigil = tree of life
- Erlik, the god of death and the underworld. Sigil = skull
