Unfamiliar Ground
 |
Unfamiliar Ground" opens upon the festive chaos of the "Hekaton¸" the biggest party of the century¸ as it sweeps across Kos City in a maelstrom of revelry¸ intoxication¸ and plays depicting the war between the Olympian Gods and the Titans. A sinister plot is being hatched just out of sight of boozy merrymakers and the authorities alike¸ however¸ and when a visiting Gnome stops to help someone who has been badly injured an adventure begins that will carry them away from the bright city and into conflict with a dark and dangerous enemy.
"Unfamiliar Ground" takes place in the Swords of Kos Fantasy Campaign Setting¸ a swords-and-sorcery milieu set in a Dark Ages fantasy version of the Aegean and the lands surrounding it. A century after a Great Cataclysm destroyed the old world¸ plunged it into chaos¸ and reawakened magic and all form of ancient races and monsters¸ the agents of Gods and Titans struggle against each other¸ nations strive to survive or dominate one another¸ and adventurers descend into the ruins in search of wealth and lost technology.
