Hermes

Hermes is the son of Maia and Zeus. He is the god of exchange, commerce, thieving, messages, shepherds, cowherds, orators, travel, and athletics. His sacred animal is the lamb. He invented most sports the Cimmerians compete in and the lyre. He escorts the dead to their afterlife. He has a winged helmet and winged sandals that allow him to be anywhere in an instant. He also has a caduceus which provides him sacred protection when delivering a message. Hermes is a trickster god and is often helping another god get away with something they shouldn’t be. Hermes is the father of Pan, but does not have a wife.

Within Cimmeria Hermes has been content to wander in disguise with a few exceptions. In the Second Alliance War Hermes orchestrated the destruction of Greshendale by the Second Alliance Exiles. In retaliation the Xorians destroyed Bradel Fields. Hermes also participated in the Battle of Nox. He seems to bring destruction and chaos to whatever he touches in Cimmeria. Despite this reputation Hermes’s face remains plastered on border marking Herms throughout the land.

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.

89 – Bunnies vs. the Borg D&D (Avery and Traumwald) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

Avery presents her world of Traumwald which means Dream Forest. Traumwald was a peaceful, magical world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals of all kinds. Their peace was shattered by the attack of the Ichal, a biomechanical hive mind species similar to the Borg. The Ichal are led by the dark god Ulvakros who seeks to absorb all life into himself. The Ichal have spread across different dimensions and now they have come to Traumwald as the next stop on their mission of multiversal conquest.Traumwald has a D&D 5.0e supplement that Avery made. It's a setting and a campaign in one book. Species generation rules allow you to create any sort of animal species for your PC. There are lots of new subclasses to play and a new base class, the Ascetic. The campaign is adaptable with a dynamic faction system for tracking the events as they unfold at your table. Each campaign run in Traumwald is guaranteed to be different as the factions fluctuate and change to player actions. You can lift the faction system for your personal campaign as well!You can find Traumwald on Avery's itch.io page.Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
