Broken Shield

Introduction

A blistering breeze rolled through the seemingly endless plains of frozen wheat, biting at wayward travelers foolish enough to trek the trails. As unending as the vale appeared to stretch, so to the winter does to the inhabitants of the golden valley. At the rivers crossing from behind the mountains, to the outflow of the shimmering sea a walled city known as silver cross resides. For fifty leagues no place coincides with as much trade on the hostile frontier.
In this winter breeze the settlers hide in their lodges, or behind stone walls. Few travel through the bitter cold wrath, with the exceptions of the town's militia .
At the call of the lord of Silver Cross each citizen over the age of twelve winters and of able body must serve once a month to the betterment of the community, to some this is a dreaded experience. To others it can be a time to find some level of fame, and to the curious few adventure.

The World and the Faiths

The world is homebrew, practiced religions are known as Cults. Cult of the heavenly light, Cult of Oruduro, Cult of the keeper of mysteries, Cult of Hastur, etc. these are all common deities of the world. Clerics are cultists, Paladins are cultists, and other classes whose ranks serve the religion. The world is partly low magic, magic users are less common thus why we use only the core rulebook. The surrounding area is a wild frontier, in that frontier are small villages and Silvercross. This place serves as the trading hub for fifty leagues it is also where each player is a citizen to, working an occupation and being part of the militia once a month.
