Places of Power: Tibol-Korrin (SNE)
 |
A System Neutral Edition GM's Resource by Mike Welham The Strait of Tibol-Korrin provides seafaring merchants a relatively safe and easy way to reach the otherwise hard-to-reach¸ landlocked rival baronies of Tibol and Korrin. A decade ago¸ the strategically important strait became the focal point of a war between the two rival baronies when a dispute over equitable distribution of tariffs dramatically escalated when a Tibolian ship mysteriously sank (allegedly through the actions of Korrin saboteurs). The war brought shipping through the strait to a halt¸ as no captains dared to venture into range of the many siege weapons covering the strait and its approaches. A recent truce borne of economic necessity¸ and a blossoming romance between opposing¸ high-ranking commanders¸ allows ships to once again safely traverse the strait. However¸ unbeknownst to almost all¸ the fighting dislodged ancient and dark relics¸ portending the return of things best left forgotten. Places of Power are short¸ richly detailed supplements that each present a flavoursome locale such as a remote temple¸ borderland fort or reclusive wizard's demesne. Ready to be plugged into almost any home campaign¸ each instalment can be used as a waystop on the road to adventure¸ the home of a powerful NPC or even as a mini-adventure site in its own right. This product is a Dual Format PDF.
