This campaign is considered low magic, and virtually all inhabitants of the world have little to no interaction with non-human races, magic, and the supernatural. Any players choosing magic based classes, or non-human races will be notable and extremely rare within this world. Furthermore normal D&D races, weapons, etc. are either removed or reskinned for the sake of providing a unique and immersive cultural experience. Homebrew and reskinning is encouraged to fill any relevant races, monsters, weapons, subclasses, etc. not listed here.   For new DMs please visit the DM Starter Guide   For new players please visit the Character Creation Guide   Below to the left are folders and subfolders containing all the world information and resources you will need, including Campaign Resources for stuff like Races, Subclasses, Maps, aand any other tools you may need for creating a cvharacter and playing the game.
