Characters of Cimmeria

There are a lot of characters, PC and NPC, past and present, in Cimmeria. With so many it became necessary to separate them into several different groups.

1. Xorian Wars Characters. Characters that took part in the action of my D&D campaigns in Cimmeria. These are split into four parts.

PCs. Self explanatory, Player Characters that my friends created for playing in Cimmeria.

Allied NPCsCharacters who generally worked towards the same end as the PCs.

Enemy NPCs. The big nasties of Cimmeria. Their interaction with the PCs is often violent and adversarial.

Other NPCs. Sometimes its hard to fit an NPC into the good pile or the bad pile and they end up here.

2. Historical NPCsImportant NPCs from Cimmeria’s past. Historical NPCs could be heroes the PCs wish to emulate, old friends long gone, or ancient rulers who died centuries ago. These are split by the historical time period they came from, Time of the Conclave, Age of Monsters, Early Kingdoms, and Time of Prosperity.

3. Gods. The Hellenic setting of Cimmeria means the gods often take part in important events. There are over a hundred deities in Greek mythology. I’ve tried to narrow it down here to just the important ones.

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.

87 – Adapted Azeroth D&D (Flare and Akridon) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Flare talks with us about his campaign world, Akridon. Three continents dominate the world, Tyros for humanoid races and Dusklands for bestial races. The third continent is known as the Scourge, having being destroyed in a cataclysmic war centuries ago. The world draws a lot of inspiration from the World of Warcraft setup with duality featuring in the continents, the racial appearance, and the gods of the world. And just like in WoW, the two sides often need to team up against larger threats that appear.Flare has a Google Doc with more information about Akridon if you're interested!Vote in the CRIT Awards!
