The environment around the equator is hot and wet with many islands covered in thick jungle forests. Those beyond are split mostly between wooden forests and a few barren rocky islands with the occational fertile grassy islands where various plants are grown or herd animals raised. |
The game will be using a lot of ''Greyhawk'' organization, gods, city-states and secret cabals but with a bit more of an Earthsea feel then standard medieval Europe. Race and sex (or sexuality) are just not things people worry about or comment on normally. Are there racists peoples? Yes. Especially the Fran of the Scarlet Brotherhood (evil pale skinned humans who not only feel superior to non-Humans but other non-Fran Humans), but they are a minority. There are species like the Gnolls and Sahuagin/Sea Devils that are cannibal (meaning they eat other sentient life in this setting) and Mind Flayers (that consume the brains of other sentients) that are considered 'Savages' and 'Evil' by most folk. However you can find many of the other so-called Monsterous sentient species living upon the other species. Most are fairly rare though and tend to still to their own when possible. They are no real true Evil species except maybe Devils and Demons. | The game will be using a lot of ''Greyhawk'' organization, gods, city-states and secret cabals but with a bit more of an Earthsea feel then standard medieval Europe.

Sailing ships are fairly advanced and common by all the Known Islands. Explosives & Firearms (Blackpowder) weapons from the DMG pg. 267. The only rule is the these firearms have the long-loading (2) feature instead of Loading feature, which requires 2 full Actions to reload. Cannons have an even long Long Loading times. There is also additional gear found in both Prirate Adventures and Naval Combat that can come in handly but will introduce as the game goes on (especially when you gain your own ship). |

The city has traded its fish and its farming produces to many other communities for centuries but recently a number of dwarfs have immigrated and set up a mine on the inner mountain range. The city council has also signed the Treaty of Trade about three years ago. These new developments have not gone over well with everyone in the city and a minor factor among the Council would prefer to return to their old ways and remain completely indendent of this treatry or these dwarfs. |
The '''Treaty of Trade''' was intially started some 598 years ago in the Free City-Port of '''Greyhawk'''. Gathering many local indendent ports together they formed the '''Merchant League''' with this treaty. In order to promote trade within the League and combat pirates, every legal merchant ship is required to have a legal Super as the cargo master. This Super bares a unquie and semi-magical tattoo with a hidden number within it. All legal cargo carried by a merchant ship of the legal then stamps their cargo with this number and carries legal document manifest, bearing where the cargo is from etc. | The '''Treaty of Trade''' was intially started some 598 years ago in the Free City-Port of '''Greyhawk'''.

The Silfursvins believed it was their sacred duty to contain the horrors within the mountain, and their greatest warriors, the Andariddari, dedicated their lives to doing just that. Their patron was the god Silfurloginn, seen as an enormous silver boar with the silver scales of a dragon and tusks of fire, and whose sign was flames that burned silver. |

A ship can't move into a space that is too small to accommodate it. If it tries to do so, it crashes, as described in the CRASHING A SHIP section below. | :'''Space'''.
