1) After the recent winter melt, a new system of caves has been found near the coast and need to be studied. The danger is that some of the pathway is flooded and might be a risk to the unwary. Draw or write about your Reosean investigating these new caves. Do they take precaution against the danger, or hope luck is on their side? 3) An ancient ruin was found, rumoured to contain vast treasures, but it is guarded by a cursed creature. How does the exploration go? Did they even make it there safely? Draw or write about your Reosean exploring these ruins or finding the treasures deep within. Did they have trouble fighting the creature, if there was one? Or was it the treasure that was cursed? 5) As you explore the shores of one of the continents, you come across a giant beached up ship. The ship seems to have decayed quite a lot over the years and is definitely empty, yet something can be heard from inside of it. Draw or write about your Reosean taking their chances and entering the ship, trying to find the source of the mysterious noise. Is your Reosean scared? Do they face the challenge head on? What do they find? 7) New flora and fauna seem to have come through to Reos, and while everyone quite enjoys looking at them, no one quite knows what they are or if they are safe. Can we touch them? Are they okay to ingest? Would some perhaps make for good medicine? Draw or write about your Reosean interacting with some new, strange creature, or plant. Is it something safe, potentially beneficial in some way, or perhaps very dangerous? 9) A group of nobles have been sent a mysterious map, detailing a route to gods only know what and an X at the end of said route. They have employed other humans and Reoseans to set out and find whatever awaits at the end of this road. Draw or write about your Reosean following a map or finding a treasure. Do they keep the spoils, or turn it in to the nobles? |
2) According to a friend of a friend, their cousin's namesake was at the edge of a certain marsh at midnight when a spirit appeared! Apparently the spirit whispered a secret before disappearing, and you'd like to see if there's truth to this story. Draw or write about your Reosean searching for the spirit. Does something appear, or is the search uneventful? 4) Vitalus is overwhelmed with crystals, but recently they've seemingly been popping up in other continents too. The deserts have large shards breaching through the sands, the snow has crystallized and the forests seem to be growing encased trees. Depict your Reosean finding one of these crystals. Do they investigate some of the new ones, or do they perhaps travel to Vitalus to find the origin? 6) Some cave systems are more pleasant than others - others being ones filled with water, in this case. Nobody likes wet feet, but somebody has to map them out, and it might as well be you - prepare yourself for some diving! There are many a strange new aquatic animal and plant to be found as well, so take your pick: are you in it for the fun of exploration, or will you bring back a few specimens for the realm's scholars to study? 8) Not only do the lands have to be mapped, but the high seas too! It's fortunate (in this case, at least) that Reos has a healthy network of pirates. Gather up your crew from whatever hovels they've found to occupy themselves with and board your ships in search of new waters, your topographers at the ready! Take care though, unmapped seas bring undiscovered dangers. 10) Creatures long lost are rumored to be suspended in the glaciers that roam Roenden's seas- creatures no man has seen before. Take your ice picks and go looking, and be mindful to mark out the glaciers you come across whether they play host to past beings or not. Whether your mission to uncover the truth of these rumors is successful or not, totaling the current number and location of the glaciers is useful information. |
WARRENFALL
"The continent itself prospers on green lands, large lakes and numerous rivers and forests. The farmers usually have an easy time doing their work and the harbors always bring enough fish back from the sea. The weather in Warrenfall is mostly sunny, not too hot but not too cold. The seasons change regularly, keeping the flora healthy."
|
ROENDEN
"Most of the continent is surrounded by large, tall mountains where the coldest winds blow. The main city is placed in a calmer location, not too far from the sea, but still surrounded by hills so the wind and cold aren’t as harsh. The cities are mostly connected by mountain paths and function as the safest pathways in between the cities and villages."
|
THEDALE
"The continent is mostly deserts and rocks, making it hard to build a house- let alone an entire city. The cities that do thrive in this merciless landscape are mostly separated by large distances, which is why most Thedale Reoseans are bonded to humans so they may provide assistance on these travels. Tents dot the land, Moroccan colors flowering red sand. The weather in Thedale is sunscorched and dry most of the year. There is a vast number of small lakes along with a few larger ones, which the Continent's cities are built around.
|
VITALUS
"Surrounded by the sea, Vitalus’ lands are vast and diverse. The continent overall is light, airy, and temperate, the sea blanketing the lands with mist for much of the year.
Mountains shod with flower coated valleys and forests are abundant while the skies, laden with low hanging clouds, are mottled with floating islands- the largest of which boasts the city of Orus. Inaccessible to the flightless, Orus is made up of islands, interconnected via crystal bridges, that form a halo around The Silver Province’s crown."
