Description
Arik poked at the keyhole with a variety of implements, twisting and fiddling. A drop of sweat congealed on the rat-faced little man’s nose as he worked.
“Anything yet?” grunted the tall, thin woman standing over him and clutching a staff, eyes darting up and down the corridor. “I think we gave those cultists the slip, but we can’t be sure. It’d be nice to move on.”
“Hush, Ysella,” Arik breathed. “This level of expertise can’t be rushed.”
There was a faint clicking noise and the door creaked ajar. “There,” said Arik. “Told you.”
Ysella glared at him and nodded to the short, stout man clad in mail. “Sir Lugorix? If you would be so kind?”
Sir Lugorix winked, adjusted his helmet, shoved the door open far enough to pass, and peered into the freshly-opened room. His torchlight danced across the tarnished silver of a disused chapel. Ah, now, this is more like it, he thought…
Welcome to Toxandria
A land of intrigue, a land of magic, a land of fallen empire, where bold souls set out in search of fame, fortune, and ADVENTURE!
The Setting
In the North, a long wall separates the Known World from Beyond. In the South, the crumbled remains of a worldspanning empire. To the West, the raging, endless sea. To the East, the wind-swept, endless steppes.
Islands of civilization and plenty are separated by wild places and the sea. The Imperial Mile and the Great East Road still run straight and true, built so cunningly by the Baessesseans that no blade of grass grows between their stones, but to either side is wilderness and monster-haunted ruin. It is said by the lore-masters in the Geabez Enclave that great and mysterious magics and artifacts lie in old Baessessean ruins, along with heaps of gold and jewels, there for bold and hardy souls to claim.
At the center of it all is the city of Ereslus, home to the various factions that contend for power.
This is the World as we know it. This is Toxandria: the Three Kingdoms, in which dwell the Free Peoples.
The Game
Based on Chaosium Inc.’s Basic Roleplaying OGL, Toxandria is not just a setting, it’s also a complete game! The rules are simple, easy to learn, and tried and tested through decades of play in a multitude of formats. The tweaks we’ve made to make Toxandria special are minimal, and have been thoroughly tested.
Toxandrian characters are custom-tailored to a player’s concept. Professions specifically designed to evoke the setting’s flavor are included, as well as form-fillable PDF character sheets!
The Foes section includes dozens of monsters and villains for you to custom-tailor your Toxandria game. The setting lore section includes dozens of NPCs, locations, adventure ideas, and story hooks for your group to begin spinning fantastic tales at once. Ready-made adventures are forthcoming; keep an eye on Kabouter Games to stay informed!
