The Hundred Kingdoms

The Hundred Kingdoms

 

Behold the Hundred Kingdoms! Extending over an area roughly equal to Europe, this collection of principalities, autocracies, republics, dictatorships, and petty kingdoms enjoys great fertility and strong grain production. Secrets of the First Age lie nestled among the amber waves of grain, waiting to kill the foolhardy and tempt the brave with power. Mighty forests, rolling hills, broad plains, and a few enormous mountains dot the landscape even as long winding rivers slash through it, guarded and tolled by wary river-keeps.

At any moment these fractious kingdoms could erupt in to bloody war or brilliant golden age - as the heroes of Creation flock to this ripe proving ground, it seems that one or the other is inevitable.

 

The Hundred Kingdoms venue is about in-character conflict ameliorated by out-of-character negotiation. Consequences inflicted on the person or nation of another character require the consent of all players involved.
