Here is a short summary of my Sandbox Project, mainly revolves around the frontier town of Syrth and the surrounding lands and people. Please feel free to ask questions.
A short hint:
The Land of Ice
The harsh wind whips right through your cloak, as if it were nothing but merest gauze. Snow strikes at your face and you’re sure that these flakes are cutting through your very skin, slashing the exposed flesh like so many tiny daggers. This weather is not fit for man or beast, yet tonight, you venture forth, into the very maw of the blizzard. Your friends await you tonight, at the Bloody Cudgel; there is much drinking to be done.
Introduction to the Town of Syrth
The coastal town of Syrth, is a successful, growing town on the north-western coast of Llorand. Best known for its proximity to the Aurinn Hills and the raw mineral wealth mined there, Syrth is a walled town that attracts her share of adventurous and unsavoury types. As the northernmost settlement claimed by the Silvertip family and the Gryphon Throne, Syrth has a strong naval and military presence. Also, situated, as it is, at the northern mouth of the Silverbream River allows for easy transportation of ore and other, raw materials, from the Hills to the docks.
Syrth is the only settlement of significant size on the northern coast of Llorand, ruled by the Grand Duke Karrick, an uncle to the King. The town is of enormous strategic importance to the Gryphon Throne and features heavily in their plans. The town is growing at a steady rate due to the vast wealth from natural resources. However, there is the constant threat from Giant-kin, marauding monsters and native Barbarian tribes.
The folk who have made Syrth their home, tend to be a hardy, jovial lot who enjoy living at the edge of the world far from civilization.
So far I have chosen the following Player Races for this Project; Centaur, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Human and Minotaur. I really like a Shifter option and still tinkering with the concept, as well as the Pantothaurs from RuneQuest 6, mind you!
Cheers,
Darrel
