🕯️ A Folkloric Westmarch for Quiet Fantasy (5e 2014 Rules)
“Even silence has roots. And the soil remembers.”
Hearthmere is a storybound, 18+ narrative Westmarch for players who love folklore, exploration, and mythic subtlety. Set in a land shaped by memory and behavior, you won’t conquer this world—you’ll commune with it. One firelit path at a time.
No empires. No chosen ones. Just a Basin full of echoes, riddles, and roots.
❄️ What Awaits You in the Basin
The lanterns have dimmed since the Grainwake Moot—but the land is stirring.
Players are now:
🧭 Venturing into the Brackenwild, Gloamfen, and Stonehollows 📚 Recording findings in the Living Almanac 🛠️ Taking on local guild jobs, trades, and rituals 🗺️ Following rumors, spirit signs, and forgotten trail markers
This is a world where your actions change the air, the dream, and the names whispered in the reeds.
🧶 You Might Belong If...
• You treat lore like soil—not scripture • You want a world that reacts to you, not the other way around • You love small details: field offerings, ritual bread, forgotten bells • You’d rather tend a lantern than chase a lich • You want rest, wonder, and wilderness to matter
🌱 Hearthmere Offers:
🧭 Narrative Westmarch Framework Choose your own expeditions, react to evolving story threads. No railroad.
🌫️ Temperament System Each region has a living mood—like “Jealous,” “Brooding,” or “Reflective”—that shapes weather, magic, and encounters.
📖 The Living Almanac Players build a shared record of lore, regions, rituals, and metaphysical truths (or half-truths).
🛠️ Downtime & Tradecraft Systems Guild jobs, foraging, mining, crafting, farming, and more. Build ties to place.
🌾 A Quiet Setting That Remembers You No apocalypses. No empires. Just a dreaming frontier that listens.
📘 The Hearthmere Concord Guide
Includes: • Regional and setting lore • Exploration mechanics • Job shifts & training rules • Concord values and tone • Player onboarding tools • Discord integrations (bots, rolls, maps, etc.)
Hiya, Drak here! We just finished work on an intro quest to help oyu get oriented! We have tons of RP (always running, day and night), downtime jobs, and now fishing too. So you can feed yourself, your friends, or fish for profit too! And we're already starting that community feel too, so you can hang out and chat with some really cool folks while you RP and play some DnD!
