I'm a fairly new GM, just began my journey this year. I'm a world builder, and would love to make an interesting story with you! The basis of the setting is below.
New Players and Experienced Players are both welcome to play!
We are LGBTQ+ Friendly! You must respect all players and be kind to everyone on the spectrum.
We use voice chat rooms on a private server, everything is online only.
This will be a roleplay heavy game, with combat, and will be character driven.
We are looking for 2-3 players, we currently have 3, and I am the DM.
The Campaign Setting is Homebrew, but we are running on 5e with a loose rule structure.
The World of Ihelda: Basic Information
Environment: The World is Lush
The world of Ihelda holds more lush forests, deserts, and high mountaintops. Every biome is full of new and interesting plant life. There is so much to discover and research, but the political sphere deals in more trivial matters than discovery.
Demeanor: There is Balance - Savage and Sophisticated
Between civilized cities and towns are large masses of land ridden with thieves, bandits, monstrosities and nature. Even within the nations of mortals, there are savage nations and empires that believe in earning freedom, where slavery is a normal part of society and life is valued differently. Killing a citizen over theft is normal. If you can’t defend yourself, you deserve to get taken advantage of. Contrasting these savage nations, there are sophisticated, elegant nations and empires of love, equality, and democracy. The worship of the gods is a huge part of their lives, and upholding the law is of utmost priority.
Technology & Resources: We Learn from the Gods
The technology is different in certain areas. Overall, most civilizations have the classic fantasy setting: torches, swords, shields, armor, magic. No guns, no high-tech weaponry, no electricity.
Magic: A Gift from the Gods
Magic is a gift given to mortals from the gods. When the Majhen were first created after The Great War, mortals were gifted with the abilities of the different types of magic. Divine Magic is able to be given from each god dependent on their domain, where as Abium is the only god able to give out Arcane Magic. The Majhen are able to discuss the different schools of magic, and explain how they work. Some past Majhen even taught the ways of magic to students at different monasteries. However, now magic is widespread, and although not all are able to use magic, most people are aware of it. Magic items are a lot more difficult to come by.
Politics: Magic Abolishment & War Ridden
The Valaruanian Empire is currently at war against the Nation of Faenudra, and other surrounding nations due to its need to eradicate magic. The worst parts of the war have yet to begin, but everyone is in panic. The Neutral Nations hold their swords high against the ever-growing Valaruanian Empire, knowing that they will be the next targets for expansion. Slavery runs wild in certain untamed areas. Vromir continues to create chaos.
Pantheon: The Gods are Listening
The gods are always listening to prayers, and actively offer help to the mortal world. They watch over Ihelda to ensure peace and prosperity. Some of the gods are less active, but those of lawful good alignment are always listening and ready to give help. Especially since new evils have risen in the world.
Monster Ecology: What’s Not Ours is Theirs
Monsters roam the forests, the Wildlands, and other environments outside of civilization. Some even own parts of the forests due to their magnitude. Apart from other monster-like races (orcs, goliaths, and goblins), the additional roaming of monsters is what keeps kingdoms, nations, and empires from expanding rapidly. Colonies of large spiders, ghouls, banshees, many monsters inhabit large sections of forests and expand their own colonies, which caused the guilds to spring into action.
Tropes: Overrun by Humans, Elves, and Halflings
This fantasy world is your typical one. Humans, elves, half-orcs, half-elves, and halflings are the most common and overpopulated species that reside in typical cities and towns. Orcs, goblins, goliaths, gnomes, and dwarves stick to their colonies in the mountains, in the Wildlands, or unclaimed territories. Tieflings are quite rare. Within Krivona, they are easy magic-using targets. And due to their infernal heritage and connection with devils, most cities in Faenudra won’t grant them citizenship. Aasimar are only seen around Faenudra, although fallen ones may venture into the Wildlands or seek citizenship in one of the Neutral Nations.
I love the setting and I am very interested in the roleplay heavy aspect of the group (and the LGBTQ+ nature of the group is very much welcomed). I would love to know what time zones your players are in. I myself am PST. My discord is HilmarLoft#6352, I would love to talk more about the world and how the characters fit into it.
Sorry to anyone above I didn't get a chance to message back, but I've filled up the replacements I needed. Thanks for the requests though! If I ever need any more players I'll be sure to open this again.
