Plains of Penance
 |
Der Quellenband von Greg Dent beschreibt die Gras-Ebenen jenseits der 'On the Forge'-Metropole. Große Streitkräfte¸ wie die erbarmungslosen Blutlords¸ Druiden¸ Armeen des Westens und die mysteriösen Besucher aus den nördlichen Ozeanen kämpfen um die Ebenen. Neben den schwelenden Konflikten der großen Parteien arbeiten auch kleinere Gruppen¸ Tyrannen¸ Gesetzlose und Monsterhorden am Ausbau ihrer Macht.
Beyond the most populous city on the Forge lies a vast¸ uncontrolled expanse of rolling grasslands¸ scattered crags¸ and light woods. In strong contrast to the rest of the world¸ where nature stands in opposition to intelligent life¸ the bountiful land here provides a lush wealth of resources upon which the great cities have come to depend. Powerful forces vie for control over this abundant domain¸ as ruthless bloodlords of the cities clash against the deep-rooted druids of the wilds¸ hardened armies from the west¸ and even mysterious visitors from the depths of the northern oceans. Despite the constant conflicts¸ the vast plains hide much from the attentions of those in power and provide a breeding ground for petty tyrants¸ outlaws¸ rogue villains¸ and hordes of roving monsters. Far from empty¸ the plains are as ancient as the cities that spring up among them and even the wilderness contains a wealth of lost history¸ culture¸ and knowledge. What lies beneath and beyond the towering cliffs of the Pedestal¸ and what is Israfel's design for this ponderous landscape? Find out in The Plains of Penance.
