The World of Ohr | A Living Campaign Overview The rule of law is no more . This is not a land meant for chivalrous knights, noble quests, or meek souls. Maintained roads have fallen into disreapir as the dangerous wilds once again reclaim what rightfully belongs to it. Cities have become bastions of cruelty and slavery. Noble houses that once ruled over provinces and commanded vast armies have withdrawn to rule from their broken city-states. An endless, silent struggle for dominance in a world where only the echoing laughter of the dark gods breeds progress. The Slender Crown is the primary antagonist of the setting . His black banner carries with it the threat of the armies of death and the eldritch horrors that follow him.The dwarven kingdoms have fallen and now he sets his focus on the rest of the continent. You are 1st-level adventurers . You are members of the 'Red Banner' mercenary company. An organization whose history is defined by treachery and brutally-efficient work. Your objectives will vary wildly and you will meet numerous characters from all over Ohr . Some of them will appreciate your strides to reforge the reputation of the Red Banner. Others will want you to follow the old standards of brutality. All will want something from you and will offer something in return. Actions bring results. Mages are seen as dangerous and unpredictable . Even among members of the Red Banner mages are both a blessing and a curse. Small villages and towns will not react well to magic. You put yourself and your companions at risk when you use magic in public. Heretic, Witch and Darkling are words often used to describe mages and magic users. Even among those who "like" them. Non-human races are mistreated and disrespected . Humans will generally not trust you. Even among the Red Banner, non-human races are sometimes seen as lesser because of different cultural customs or a fear of the unknown.
