The Boughs
 |
Before we were anything¸ we were nothing
Before we were together¸ we were alone
Before we were Rangers¸ we were Boughless
The world as we know it is an infinite forest¸ so dense that sun rarely pierces the canopy. Beasts and monsters lurk in the shadows¸ ready to eat anything even remotely unprepared. The only place that's safe is inside massive¸ city sized trees¸ each housing a unique civilization - The Boughs.
That is¸ of course¸ unless you join The Rangers.
If you do¸ you'll face down Ember-Hounds¸ teeth dripping with liquid fire¸ you'll learn the secrets of the Wilds¸ and how to survive¸ hell¸ even thrive among the Shadowless and the Howlers. You'll be called on to stop wars between Boughs¸ ambush Yix dealers peddling their enchanted drugs¸ solve mysteries of the endless Firmament deep underground¸ and explore the outer reaches of the Wastes. You'll see things you wouldn't imagine¸ you'll tell stories even we won't believe. It's not safe¸ it's not comfortable and you can't count on fame and riches.
But we will remember you.
The Boughs cry out¸ we answer
The Boughs is a campaign setting designed for the Dungeon World RPG system¸ but can function as a system agnostic setting.
