Legends say that when the first pre-imperial tribes wandered into the Freymark from the south they found the land free of other humans. All the while, at the fringes of the region, a terrifying corruption is slowly creeping into the land. Independent and rich in natural resources, the region is now being torn apart by conflict as the land-owning Thanes attempt to secede from Imperial dominion. The northernmost province of the Gallian Empire.
I also recommend having a look at this post about the Gallian Empire before reading on. The following is a macro-level overview of the greater region in which “SKALD: Against the Black Priory” is set. However, I would love it if anyone used it in their own homebrew tabletop RPG campaigns! If you want to discuss the setting with me directly, join us on the SKALD Discord! I don’t allow the use of the SKALD universe and setting in other commercial products. I’ll try to keep it spoiler free and I’ll keep the big plot twists to myself. Thus, everything I write is a work in progress and prone to change down the line. The game is currently funding on Indiegogo and you should check it out now!įor me writing posts like these is a nice way of fleshing out the setting for the upcoming game. I’m writing this as a backdrop for the upcoming CRPG “SKALD: Against the Black Priory”.
