Locations of Cimmeria: Royal Forest and King’s Copse

Royal Forest

The Royal Forest is a thin evergreen forest northwest of Nox. Despite the name, the Royal Forest is used by all the residents of Nox. Lumberjacks harvest the coniferous wood to sell in the capital. It is sold for use in constructing buildings, making furniture, or burning for warmth. In addition to the wood, the forest supports a variety of animals, but most of the larger prey have gone extinct in the forest due to over hunting.

King’s Copse

King’s Copse is a small birch and maple forest east of Nox. The forest belongs to the King of Xoria, thus hunting and wood gathering within the forest are forbidden without the permission of the king. Due to this the forest maintains a population of large animals and a dense underbrush. A community of dryads lives within the woods and enforces the king’s rule by killing trespassers.

The King’s Copse was where Queen Anajakaze was raised in secret out of Hera’s sight. The dryads brought her up and trained her to be a queen and a warrior. The forest was invaded by Queen Chrilethia of the Amazons. Anajakaze assassinated the intruding queen and took over the Amazon nation at the subsequent tournament of arms.

Hello,

I’m Isaac

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.

Setting the Stage Podcast

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?
