321BCE: Pirates took advantage of the wars between Alexander the Great’s successors. Trade across the Caspian’s waters was no longer safe.

311BCE: Seleucus I returned to Babylonia as Satrap. He immediately organized a navy and put an end to piracy in the Caspian Sea.

310BCE: Seleucus I conquered Cecilia and Jeutontic. Fearful of Absyrtus’s magic powers he sent gifts to the undead king and established a peaceful trade relationship with Colchis.

308BCE: Seleucus I led an invasion of Aractrash. King Alfo III of Mars’ Oasis defended his kingdom. A fierce battle left many dead. Both sides erected victory monuments which became the de facto border demarcation.

280BCE: The Pointed Hats went to Antiochus I for patronage. They wanted funding in exchange for putting their magical powers at his disposal. Antiochus agreed. The Pointed Hats used their funding to research methods to purify the eldritch horrors in Eastern Cimmeria.

274BCE: The Pointed Hats discovered that by crossbreeding Aractrashan Jungle trees with the expanding trees of Bigby’s Forest resulted in something that released a pollen poisonous only to the eldritch horrors. Pointed Hat druids set to breeding and enchanting the trees of Aractrash.

269BCE: The Pointed Hats declared Aractrash free of corruption. Antiochus I approved colonization of the Jungle. The Pointed Hats moved their base from Babylonia to Aractrash. They aided the colonization effort, but their primary focus remained on the eldritch horrors in Eastern Cimmeria.

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.

86 – Wuxia Adventures in RPGS (Daniel and Metanoia/Ithasen) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

I interviewed Daniel, my cohost of the Tabletop Community Spotlight! Daniel created his own setting called Ithasen with an in-progress wuxia TTRPG system called Metanoia to go along with it. Ithasen has a spiritual force known as Ren that pervades the world. Ren is a magical manifestation of the user's, or Rennim's, will upon the universe. Rennim that cultivate their will grow stronger and capable of more amazing feats as the concentrate their power and force of personality.Within Ithasen there are seven lineages of people that decide what type of Ren they can use. Anamor use conversion Ren. Elkyr use flux Ren. Janim use elasticity Ren. Nyl use influence Ren. Okoi use recurrence Ren. Haqol use harmony Ren. Finally, Daruner use use coalescent ren. The two races lineages that drive unique politics in Ithasen are the Daruner and the Haqol.Daruner children absorb the Ren talents of both their parents, becoming a perfect blend of Daruner and another lineage parent. Through this mixing, a Daruner family could potentially include all other lineages within itself. This power has placed Daruner as the nobility of Ithasen.Haqol's power of harmony allows them to amplify the Ren powers of others. This puts Haqol in a vulnerable position as unscrupulous people will do anything to incorporate Haqol lineage into their bloodline. Haqol have experienced something akin to a genocide as their lineage has been consistently absorbed by other lineages and diluted over the centuries.There's a whole lot more than that so strap in!Daniel has a fully setup GitHub Wiki for information on Metanoia and Ithasen that you can explore.There's a Metanoid Discord server you can join to discuss the rules and setting with other fans.The occasional musing on TTRPGs can be found on Daniel's blog, Tabletop Discourse.GoCorral YouTube Channel for watching the Tabletop Community Spotlight.Vote in the CRIT Awards!
