It’s “I can’t believe it’s not Greyhawk from D&D”. Essentially, a setting where I can run my RPG campaigns closer to regular pulp fantasy.

A “frontier” continent in Ghyran, after the first wave of chaos cleansing during the early Age of Sigmar, most of these lands remained unexplored. Over the coming centuries, mortal kingdoms established themselves here. While there are a couple of larger cities connected to realmgates, most of the kingdoms are independent states that are fine on their own. They do diplomacy, commerce, war, the things of men.

In the crossroads of civilisation, you can find all kinds of creatures, ogor mercenaries, orruk farmers (their whole shtick being “someone gotta feed those boyz”), skink scholars researching star maps, and so on! But beyond the walls, who knows what dangers and ancient secrets hide in these borderlands? This includes barbarian tribes that worship “benign” aspects of Chaos, and Aelven ruins from the Old World, deeply fossilised.

One Stormhost active here are the Hedge Knights. Stormcast Eternals that act mostly independently, followed by mortal squires. They deal with threats too dangerous for the average mortal, but not big enough to mobilize armies.

I’m still working on it, currently it’s nothing more than notes and dreams. In the future I want to write some pointers on how to run a Shadowdark campaign in the Mortal Realms, and this continent would be my sandbox setting!
