Previous: Cimmerian Timeline Part 15

883BCE: As word spread the people of the land rejoiced. The dragons were sealed away, hopefully never to return. Cimmerians no longer feared elemental breath raining down on them from above. People went about their lives, happy and safer than they’d ever been.
The Heroes remained concerned that one day the Orbs would be broken and the dragons would be released. Tentineh suggested that the Heroes split the Orbs among themselves and place permanent protections around them. Some of the Heroes did not have the resources to defend an Orb of Dragonkind for eternity. Tentineh volunteered to guard those unallocated Orbs along with his own. The Heroes split up and began constructing defenses around the Orbs and rebuilding their respective societies.

There’s still a whind-down after the Dragon War that has to occur. Each of the Heroes will construct their defenses and then Tentineh will also suggest the “cryo-preservation” that the Heroes go into to defend the Orbs for all time. Each Hero will live out their life as best they can before accepting their place in the “cryo-chamber.” The shorter lived races will retire first, followed by the longer lived ones, until finally the elves go to sleep. That will end the Age of the Dragon War.

Which brings me to my next point. I’ve been thinking of splitting the Cimmerian Timeline into “Ages.” The combined Cimmerian Timeline Page is getting unwieldy in size. Cutting the information up into smaller pieces will make it easier to read and understand. I’ll start that splitting work soon.

Going forward with the denouement of the Dragon War, I’m going to focus on each character for Timeline posts and detail what happens to that character before they retire. I’ll add that information to the character’s bio page and the timeline page as I go.

Welcome to the GoCorral website! I’m Isaac Shaker and this is a place for me to write about D&D and occasionally other topics. I host a podcast called Setting the Stage that interviews different DMs about their campaigns. I’m currently focused on completing the Cimmeria campaign setting and turning it into a book.

76 – Flying Island Worlds (Alan and Fractus) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Alan tells us about his Daggerheart campaign setting, Fractus, that is launching on Kickstarter soon. Fractus was a normal planet until it exploded and stopped halfway through. Now bunches of asteroids rotate a swirling magical maelstorm at the center of the planet. The people of Fractus survive on the asteroids which are large enough to support life. The land is now separated by air rather than oceans, resulting in a different path for technology along the lines of flight rather than sea travel.Fractus is available on Kickstarter at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/icv1/fractus-the-broken-worldAlan also has a big catalog of TTRPG products he's produced in the past that you can check out on DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher/17830/alan-tuckerIn addition to his TTRPG writing, Alan has written a few novels that you can find links to on his website: http://www.alantucker.net/ For the latest updates on what Alan's doing you can follow him on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tuckerauthor.bsky.socialOur website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
