This is the thread where characters who aren't on adventures go to tell stories of their conquests, write their journals, mourn the dead, and plan their next excursion.
There will also be a collaborative map here. Download it, edit it, upload it, put it here and I'll put it on the OP.
IMPORTANT: If you have a better way of doing this, like a persistent collaborative whiteboard kind of thing, tell me. That'd be cool, and make things way easier. Until then, we'll have to do it the annoying way.
Standing on the highest tower of the fortress walls, you get a commanding view of the area. Stretching into the distance to your north is a flat, slightly rocky plain. A fog rolls over it from the sea, limiting your visibility. Despite this, you can occasionally pick out a structure some 30 miles north-northwest, though you can't tell what it is. To the east, the mountains stretch northward, forming a natural barrier. Along the foothills is a dense forest. You estimate it's between twenty and thirty miles to the northeast. The forest follows the mountains as far as you can see.
Around 20 miles to the west, the plains give way to a marshy wetland that borders the sea. Like the forest, it follows the coastline into the distance.
Keep IC knowledge IC. If you're camped out at a site, do not discuss what you saw until you get back. If your party is wiped out, no information from your expedition can be discussed outside of private messages between me or the other members of the wiped party. The adventurers never returned, and their fate is a mystery until someone heads out and sees what happened.
Be very careful about conflict. Obviously there will be some tension with the nature of the campaign, but I don't want people killing each other in the tavern unless there's absolutely no recourse.
Journals may or may not be worth XP. I haven't decided. Journals are definitely encouraged though, as long as they follow the other rules.
Other than that, do what you want.

Feel free to copy this and edit as you see fit. The circle is where you think the structure probably is. A grid square is ten miles, and you suspect you can walk around 30 miles on a good day in good terrain. The mountains continue on their northerly course as far as you can see.
