History

Fey existed long before the Olympians came to Cimmeria. Many species of fey came into being during the Golden Age of Cronus. Their position was closer to divinity than humans thus their disdain for mortals has existed for centuries. Fey in ancient times were often antagonistic towards humans with a few exceptions such as Chiron, mentor of heroes.

Fey attitudes towards mortals stayed much the same after the Olympians conquered Cimmeria. The Unseelie fey were led by Davonisi to fight on the dragons’ side during the Dragon War. These Unseelie committed some of the worst atrocities of the war. Their depravity is what drove Eathirilu to abandon the Dragon Hegemony and join the mortals’ side during the war.

Fey have a habit opposed to their typical animosity towards humans. They frequently participate in the founding of human royal lines. After the Dragon War the fey began engaging in this behavior once more. The Oceanides helped found Mars’ Oasis by creating the Dythalid Pool and birthing the first generation of Mars’ Oasis citizens. The nymph Chaktal married Gollard to become the first Queen of Aractrash. Prometheus created the washerina fey species as a force of chaos to protect King Aeëtes of Colchis from the lawful maruts of Hades. These peaceful interactions were common during the Early Kingdoms period of history, but have decreased in frequency as the years passed by.

Fey have always lived in the hidden natural places of Cimmeria, but they can be seen commonly in Dionysus’s city of Satronwook. The fey have always had a strong connection to Dionysus and Pan. When the gods’ parade around the Caspian started many fey joined their entourage. The final stop for the parade was at the village of Satronwook. After a raucous party, Dionysus created the alcohol fountain and the Baradera competition. The fey that traveled in the parade settled in Satronwook or nearby the city. It remains a place where fey interact frequently with the civilized world.

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.

88 – DM & Roleplaying Tips with Balance of Aksio (Jay + Sandra! and 3RPG) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Our guests today are Jay and Sandra from the 3RPG podcast. Their podcast is a talk show, typically with three hosts. Unfortunately the third host Chris was unable to make it.Jay and Sandra are working on a RPG product dubbed The Balance of Aksio. It's a new narrative fantasy TTRPG system with point buy character creation. The world within Balance of Aksio grew out of games that Jay and Sandra have been playing together since high school. Lots of history from important characters over the in-game centuries they have been playing. Balance of Aksio comes with numerous storytelling aids to help with character decision making, generational play, and how to cover long gaps between adventures.Balance of Aksio also introduces a unique idea for running your NPCs. Rather than make all the decisions yourself, Jay and Sandra recommend outsourcing the NPC actions to people you know outside of the campaign. Give those people a profile of the NPC and the decision they are facing. Then let those people decide what the NPC would do without your own biases as a GM entering the equation. Quite a clever way to introduce new developments in your game that even you can't predict!There's a 3RPG Podcast website and the show itself is available on all major podcast platforms.I guested on the 3RPG podcast for episode 61.
