Shardworld:Main Page
This is the hub page for Shardworld, a home-brew fantasy setting designed for use with the 13th Age RPG. My goal with Shardworld is to put my own spin on the "stereotypical d20 setting", inspired by the worlds of the Kingkiller Chronicles, A Song of Ice and Fire, Warhammer Fantasy, Eberron, the general D&D paradigm, and more. It began as an adaptation of 13th Age's default Dragon Empire setting, and evolved from there.
The setting is designed to be able to host several campaigns, so feel free to use it. I would appreciate being told about the events of your campaign and how you change the Shardworld, but you're under no obligation to.
