This world map took FOREVER. Was really fun though. It was weird because the Kingdoms are vertical, unlike a traditional top down map. One of the Kingdoms is a road network... how to show that, when it's located in all Kingdoms? Was... complicated X_X #ttrpg #rpg #osr #fantasymap #worldbuilding

A tapestry woven with a map of the Golden Forest, a doomed forest realm, sliding into the clutches of the Nameless Dread.

Perynn Silverblaze, a Gyldenfolk jackalope from the great Inn, Amberplate in Midlyte, though he is a native of the Gyldenbend. Like many of his kind who live in dangerous kingdoms, he has never left the protective roads of the Golden Emperor's Highway. #ttrpg #osr #OC

Located at the convergence of three Gyldenbend roads, travelers from distant kingdoms visit Midlyte solely to dine at the gormand Gyldhall of Amberplate. The hall serves elaborate communal buffets each day that honor the Dwimmer of each season. #ttrpg #osr #darkfantasy

The first writing of the Dwimmerlings. In the First Age, they marked places and trails. In the Second Age, they became the sigil of great clans, and as war scattered the folk, the trailmarks became associated with a people, not a place. By the Third Age, they used as little more then a signature.

Trail marks are the oldest form of writing known among the Dwimmerling. Signs from the First Age were simple pictograms cut into bark, stone, or bone to guide travelers through the forest. Mark of a bent thorn near a bramble ticket, a scratched spiral near a deep cave, a forked line beside a branching stream. Each mark carried a small kenning known to those who walked the paths. Each are unique, but all are contained with a cartouche. bounding the character within a ring, as Dwimmer are bound with a talisman. A mark might mean “water beneath the roots.”, “safe hollow ahead.” or “follow the star that never moves.” In those early days the trails themselves were laid with the guidance of the heavens. Wanderers steered their journeys by the fixed stars and the slow wheeling of the once brilliant star Sonn, placing marks where the sky’s path met the land. The signs named places rather than people.

In the Second Age the marks grew more elaborate. Settlements formed, clans took root and the old trail signs were claimed as emblems of lineage. A thorny circle might mark the lands of one house, a split spiral another. As war shifted boarders and folk were displaced by plague or fire, they carried the signs with them, divorcing them from their original context. These signs were now carved above doorways, stamped into trade goods and worn as charms. As dreams and legends of folk bearing these marks grew, Dwimmer were kindled within and took the marks as their sigils, making them potent devices in spirit summoning.

In our time, the Third Age, much of this meaning has faded. Trail marks endure as monograms used for binding oaths, sealing letters, and marking property. Hexen still harbor an oral tradition of their older forms, but most Dwimmerling know them only as personal names. Few now recall the kennings or the star paths they once followed. Even so, when a Dwimmerling sets their mark to a document or carves it upon a stone, the Dwimmer remember, even if they do not.

The Pale wakes within your dreams when you have been hunted and torn, when you have felt the fear of the Prey, she will gift you with cunning and the courage to face those who threaten your herd.

An illustration of a dream tapestry, showing the life, death and resurrection of Tyra, knight of Thorns by the Dwimmer known as the Pale. A spirit that guides those who were vicious hunters into a life protecting prey and the innocent. An ancient Dwimmer of the First Age, the Pale has been with us since the prey turned and face down her pursuers. It begins in dreams, as it always does with the Dwimmer. Dreams of teeth and claws. Dreams of pain and blood. The anguish of every creature who yet lived as they were being consumed by their hunter. The rage. The fear. The beloved herd, never to be seen again. Then the dreams turn toward victory. A soaring feeling of vengeance at turning of the wheel of fortune. Not to fulfil a grudge, but to protect those left behind from the same fate...

When the Pale wakes within, when you have been hunted and torn, when you have felt the fear of the Prey, she will gift you with cunning and the courage to face those who threaten your herd.

If both Poison and Infection are cleared in the same communion, the mushroom or flower pollen inflicts the Blighted condition. If a Blighted mushroom is planted, it will spread the blight at a rate of 30 paces a day.

By spending 1 MP instantly or 10 minutes of quiet contemplation, you can clear all Poison or all Infection. A flower or mushroom grows from your body that, when consumed, inflicts the amount of Poison it cured, or Infection it cleared.

As a child, Eni was possessed by a wild Dwimmer. The spirit lay claim to his arm, which had to be amputated just above the elbow. Afterward, Eni could now see things that others could not. He was very fortunate that an older Dwimmerlayk named Uzora saw his new ability and took him under her wing.
