Isle of Eldisor Hexcrawl Campaign Cyclopedia & Gazetteer
 |
The Isle of Eldisor Hexcrawl Campaign Cyclopedia & Gazetteer is a 76-page campaign guide describing the Southlands of the Isle of Eldisor.
Jordvann was once a land dedicated to Law and Good¸ until the rise of Eldisor¸ the Devil's-Son¸ who together with his hordes of giants¸ dragons¸ trolls¸ ogres¸ orcs¸ and goblins conquered the land¸ reduced the people to slavery¸ and brought down Fimbul Winter¸ which caused empires to fall world-wide. Eldisor ruled for 400 years¸ until he was slain or brought low during a rebellion of his captains¸ the Old Evils. Fimbul Winter ended¸ and civilization rose again elsewhere¸ while the survivors on the Isle of Eldisor sought to stay alive between the warring Old Evils.
Now¸ descendants (or claimed descendants) of exiled Jordvanner have settled the southern verge of the southern portion of the island¸ building colonies and rebuilding civilization among the monstrous and savage peoples of the isle. Little is known of the Isle of Eldisor¸ and what little is known is merely myth¸ legend¸ and rumor. The adventurers can partake of the return to the Isle of Eldisor in many ways find and recover the lost treasures of the ancient civilization; discover¸ ally¸ and trade with the savage descendants of the Jordvanner; battle the remaining hordes of evil giants¸ dragons¸ trolls¸ ogres¸ orcs¸ and goblins; or seek to re-establish the lost realm of Jordvann and protect the native peoples from the inroads of the colonial factors.
