Locations of Cimmeria: Ousreft Wastes

July 31, 2023

The Ousreft Wastes is a wasteland located on the edge of the Hobgoblin Lands. There are a few thin rivers that provide water for drought resistant shrubs that grow in the desert. Lizards, reptiles, birds, insects, and small mammals survive in the dawn and dusk hours. The sun is too hot during the day for activity in the chaparral environment. At night, spirits wander the land making it risky for any living creature to be out after dark.

Goblins view the Ousreft Wastes as a sacred land. The desert blesses goblins with visions when they walk through it. The prophetic hallucinations provide a chaotic glimpse of the future. These visions are interpreted by oracles at Untalpid to clarify the meaning of the visions. Non-goblins can attempt a vision quest as well, but the Ousreft is goblin territory and the spirits are not forgiving of trespassers.

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.

80 – Dynamic RPG Countries (Travis and Tetara) – Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Travis tells us about his world of Tetara. Travis runs Tetara as a paid game on StartPlaying. Each group's campaign runs in a different region of Tetara. As the campaign progresses that group gets to shape their region through their actions. After a region has been molded through play, Travis tends to run a second campaign in that region to explore the consequences of the first campaign.Here's a map of Tetara: https://gocorral.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/tetara_world.jpgIf Tetara sounds interesting to you, Travis runs Tetara campaigns on StartPlaying: https://startplaying.games/gm/travisthegingergmIf you want to check out Travis's book series, Sanctum of Aevum, its available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/T.C.-Bieda/author/B07ZWX4MC5Our website: https://gocorral.com/stsWant to be on the show?
