Here's the rules. Add whatever you feel like adding in each post, as long as it does not violate any other post in the thread. If enough people support something, we can change the setting's canon. Post any additions to the setting in bold text, and put a > symbol before it, to make it easier to recognize. Post discussion in ordinary text. No double-posting.
> The setting takes place some centuries after the fall of the extremely advanced ancient city Pecuniae. Many debate on the cause of the fall of Pecuniae. Some believe that the Gods struck them down for their hubris, and others believe that it was their own arrogance that sealed their fate. Most of the world is blasted desert wasteland, or flooded ocean, and fertile land is highly sought after.
> Human civilization is going through the early iron age. As a general rule, societies are either Feudal or Tribal in nature. Most technology and equipment is primitive, though ancient, hidden, and perilous Pecuniae ruins are scattered across the wastes. Anyone who is able to brave their dangers can discover unimaginable treasures and priceless artifacts of ancient times.
> This setting is low-magic, and all Nonhuman intelligent races are dangerous and primitive monsters. (No Elves, Dwarves, etc, but obviously monstrous nonhuman races like savage Dragons, Lizardmen, Minotaurs, are acceptable.) Magic-users are extremely rare, but the mysterious forces they wield are frighteningly powerful. Wizards are both feared and revered in equal measure by ordinary folk.
