Welcome to Smata Udu, also known as Realm of Souls.
It would be inaccurate to say that Smata Udu is a dying world. It is true that the many ruins that dot the landscape are in fact indicators that there is much death in these lands, but it's not of the world. Its of her inhabitants. If anything, it can be said the wild denizens of the Realm of Souls are in fact retaking the lands, reclaiming what it rightfully theres from the hands of the humans, dwarves, goblins, and elves.
No, Smata Udu is not a dying world. But I would still would not suggest you visit these lands...unless you come with an army.

Welcome to
A Web of Stories 2. The last time I did this it was prior to the new version, which was actually close to a year ago. This will be a solo writing project with contributions from the community. The way it works is like this...
- The community picks a historical figure, site, kingdom, etc. from this world to hear a story about. The story will be highly embellished, of course, but all the information will be accurate to what is found in the Legends mode
- The story will naturally be connected to other stories as I dig into Legends. Heroes could have storied roots, small towns could harbor an interesting secret, and wars bring communities together in more ways than one
- As such, after the story I'll come up with anywhere from 2-5 options of where to progress the story. The only rule is that the threads have to be connected to the previously told story in some way
The idea is that we'll eventually set up an interesting web of stories all connected with a single thread. We'll achieve true victory if we inadvertently link two completely separate threads together without meaning to. Feel free to contribute in any way you can think of, and constantly make suggestions so I can make this a better experience. But above all else, please vote on which thread we should follow next!
Let's begin. Here are the first three threads that I think could make for some interesting stories. Choose which one we start with
- Lida the Mucous Veneration, a forgotten beast turned leader of a kingdom turned food for the dogs. How is it that this fearsome lizard brute could be, and I quote, "fed to the beasts" after a hundred years of boring leadership?
- The town of Tuggedtrance, a human settlement plagued by kobolds, child abduction, and a hydra. The abductions may not be what they seem, however, given that the abductors themselves are elves, humans, and...dwarves?
- The Lessened Fields, a region close to the northern cove of the Realm of Souls. Artifact Hunters across the lands have combed over these war-torn fields numerous times over the years, including one lucky adventurer who returned home with a leathery ear. What sort of events transpired here?
