The Storm Witch Walks

The Storm Witch Walks is a campaign set on the planet Urrth in the Bloeron system. An average sized world, a little far out in the habitible zone. Up until the last few generations it had been warm and temperate. Now, the great glaciers swell and begin thier slow, inexorable march. Summers are short, barely giving farmers enough time to raise crops. The aged tell tales from the before times. Urrth hadn't always been idyllic. They remind the younger of the old ways, of self worth, and honor. About how, even in the home of a bitter enemy, sanctuary could be granted when lost in the storms. They tell about betrayal at such moments, but also of grieviences forgiven. Of Brotherhood under adversity, and the unbroken strength of a people bending under the unforgiving winters.   Urrth is a Heroic setting which borrows heavily from Norse history but also from other harsh, cold climates such as Siberia and the North American Arctic. Urrth was the first planet in the system settled by an ancient progenitor race until it was decided that the climate of another planet was more amicable. They returned to Urrth when the ice ages subsided, and took residency elsewhere when they returned. Many are the ruins of ancient Manors, Palaces and Lyceum that speckle out of the way places. Some still glimmer with lights from windows. The brave or foolish that climb them to peer inside report tables set as for feasts, or great laboratories of bubbling flasks and fumes or observatories with great polished telescopes. All appearing as though their masters have merely stepped away.
