Woland - A Collaborative Mythic Realm - Part X & XI

This is part of an ongoing project that you can read about here.

Part X - The Silver Cradle

Errant Thinking pulled some inspiration from the Souls series, Beserk and Gondor for a heavily themed region. This region contains the Seat of Power so it's fitting that Errant went into some detail on the NPCs and their relationships.

Go read about it here.

Part XI - The Brittle Barony

Philip who publishes on the Delver's Choice ttRPG substack got to work on this region. He nailed the vague but evocative writing that works so well with Mythic Bastionland. This region connects very well with the surrounding areas. Plus it has such a cool Seer!

Find it here.

Progress Map

Here's what the realm looks like so far. Updates should flow more regularly in the coming weeks!

Woland - A Collaborative Mythic Realm

Part 0 - Kick-off. Woland is a collaborative realm I plan to organise over the next 20 weeks! The goal is to get contributors who will each design a hex-flower and then to stitch all 20 hex-flowers together for a complete realm. Fellow referees can take the realm entirely or rip out bits and pieces. Contributions Participants are asked to detail a hex-flower with at least two landmarks and to describe their thought process in how they designed that content. This will be published as a blogpost, but the final realm will be edited down and released as a PDF. Each contributor is expected to make at least 2 bespoke pieces of art. One of which being the hex-flower which means the final map will be a messy but beautiful quilt. Participation If this sounds interesting to you, please let me know here . Once a week I will select a name and get in touch with that person. That means you might not hear from me for weeks (months?). Creators will have approximately 3 weeks to design their hex-fl...

Woland - A Collaborative Mythic Realm - Part 1

Part I This is part of an ongoing project that you can read about here . -=-=- There are conveniently 20 hex-flowers so participants may roll a d20 to determine which hex-flower they are allowed to fill in. I rolled a 17 so this is my hex-flower: The realm has 6 holdings, which might make it a little cramped, so let's make this holding essentially a non-player. There should be some potential to be a threat at some later point, but for now the holding isn't muddling in anyone's business. The picture above depicts the holding in a specific hex that needn't be the actual location of the holding, but unless some reason pops up, it will stay there, since that hex is fitting. Holding (first thoughts) The denizens should have little need for outside contact. Which raises the question of what does a holding look like that has almost zero trade. Zombies and ghosts come to mind, but that just might be a vibe for a different project. There might be some inspiration in the stories ...

Arrival After a long voyage the Company arrived at the southern tip of the middle island. The steeds kissed the ground, glad to have solid ground under their feet. Spectre 1 - 008.011 The Company was walking through a wooded area when they met the procession. They thought the mourners were kinda sussy at first, but the mourners turned out to be pretty chill. The Salt Knight was asked to maybe say a few words, and they were like "bruh what, I didn't even know them" so they settled on a prayer in silence. Inferno 1 - 008.010 I felt "the ground is hot" was insufficient for knights traveling on horseback and to have the omen happen durin...
