Flower of the Deep

The Flower of the Deep is a mithral mine originally discovered by the Dwarves of Jord. They used the metal to produce armor and to reinforce the spectacular structures in the tunnels of Jord. Unfortunately the mine was attacked by Dark Elves about fifty years ago. The Hill Dwarves attempted to reclaim their territory under the leadership of Torin Stoneblade. He succeeded, but the mine could not be held as dwarven forces were needed elsewhere. The Xorian Wars drew King Dainlin‘s attention and he was forced to accede the mine for a few decades. When the war against the wights ends, Dainlin hopes to retake the Flower of the Deep with the full might of the reunited Dwarven Kingdom.

While the dwarves were kept busy the Dark Elves set up their own operation to harvest the mithral. The purified metal was taken deep into the Underdark to serve the purposes of Queen Medrika of the Dark Elves.

72 – Calico and Psychomortis (Part 1) Setting the Stage, Campaigns for D&D and Other RPGs

CalicoVisions tells us about his game system and setting Psychomortis. The game is constructed to challenge players and characters to look inside themselves to find what's really important to them. In the far future the Earth has suffered from the arrival of the Iris which caused vast changes across the world. PCs are trapped beneath the Earth in a vast maze known as Pandora's Labyrinth. They seek an exit and/or spiritual absolution as they survive and explore in the dark depths. The experience is simultaneous a dungeon crawl and philosophical exercise.This is the first of two episodes about Psychomortis. Calico contacted me about how the game and setting had evolved since our first recording. This is the first recording which has the original version of Calico's world and game. The second one is more refined and filled in which you can see in part 2!Psychomortis is still in the early stages of development, but its playable!
