Danar’s Marsh is a large wetland formed by the runoff from the Western Terror Mountains. The marsh is inhabited by a variety of animals and plants found nowhere else in the world. Communities form around the swamp to harvest the unique components for magical spells and rituals. Unfortunately, proximity to Danar’s Marsh is also proximity to the monsters that dwell within. Villages around the swamp typically last less than a century before their inevitable destruction.

Civilization around Danar’s Marsh was originally made possible by Danar Beastslayer. The black dragons of the swamp did nothing for the few sentient mortals that lived there. Danar came from his Sheerzen exile and helped guard and protect the small villages around and within the marsh. The land was on the way to becoming a true kingdom under Danar, but its hopes were dashed by separate attacks from Eathirilu and Invernix. Danar was forced to return to Sheerzen and the land that now bore his name, Danar’s Marsh, decayed in his absence.

Danar’s Marsh’s next major settlement was during the Xorian Kingdom’s wars with the Amazons. General Tectoctar deserted Xoria with his army and established a new town on the edge of the Marsh. To control his citizens he used powerful mind-reading magic, but it drove him insane. He fled the town into the swamp and never returned. The town bore its founder’s name and developed into a city for refugees of all races. Unfortunately, Tectoctar was destroyed by Queen Regent Anajakaze when she came to power.

Anajakaze wouldn’t leave Danar’s Marsh unsettled though. She ordered a new town built in the mountain range along the southern river. This town was named Jevanicia after the infant king, Jevaninada II. The town provided stone for the many defensive structures built during her reign and that of her son. Jevanicia was destroyed in turn by the marsh geriviar, Bill, during the Second Alliance War.

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.

89 – Bunnies vs. the Borg D&D (Avery and Traumwald) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Avery presents her world of Traumwald which means Dream Forest. Traumwald was a peaceful, magical world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals of all kinds. Their peace was shattered by the attack of the Ichal, a biomechanical hive mind species similar to the Borg. The Ichal are led by the dark god Ulvakros who seeks to absorb all life into himself. The Ichal have spread across different dimensions and now they have come to Traumwald as the next stop on their mission of multiversal conquest.Traumwald has a D&D 5.0e supplement that Avery made. It's a setting and a campaign in one book. Species generation rules allow you to create any sort of animal species for your PC. There are lots of new subclasses to play and a new base class, the Ascetic. The campaign is adaptable with a dynamic faction system for tracking the events as they unfold at your table. Each campaign run in Traumwald is guaranteed to be different as the factions fluctuate and change to player actions. You can lift the faction system for your personal campaign as well!You can find Traumwald on Avery's itch.io page.Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
