Historical NPCs

Historical NPCs are split into the four major historical eras of Cimmeria, the Time of the Conclave, the Age of Monsters, the Early Kingdoms, and the Time of Prosperity.

Time of the Conclave NPCsA limited selection, mostly of important progenitors of the five races of Cimmeria. Currently this section only has four NPCs in it, Aeëtes, Croshan, Karnafaust, and Sadroston.

Age of Monsters NPCs This section is dominated by the dragons and the Heroes of the Dragon War. There were a few other heroes that killed monsters prior to the start of the Dragon War as well.

Early Kingdoms NPCs This section marks a return to civilization. Most of the NPCs founded kingdoms and expanded them. The big historical events for this section are the githyanki invasion and the campaign of Kruk-Ma-Kali. This section also touches on some actual historical events related to the Xorian Kingdom and its historical equivalent, the Cimmerian people.

Time of Prosperity NPCs When I started writing material for Cimmeria I worked on the different city-states and described a bit of their recent history. That history encompassed many of the NPCs in this section. Additionally, more events of the historical Cimmerian people are represented in this section with fantasy analogs of historical monarchs of the Cimmerian tribe (Xorian Kingdom in my version).

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?
