*  '''ZARDRIX''':  the Wrath of Shadow.  The dragon beast said to have little care left and perhaps less sanity in neverending destructive service to the Shadow.  She spends a great deal of time on her perch in Theros Obsidea and amidst the land she surveys in the Norther Marches.

Midnight: North & South Game Inspiration Quotes


Armies of Elves, Dwarves and Men attempted to defeat Izrador the Enemy, the Shadow in the North, in the most important and final of battles in the Third Age. They met and fought valiantly against armies of Orc, Demon, Dragon and other Shadow Minion on the southern shore of the Pellurian Sea.

But… They lost.
It is the the Last Age of man…

Hope takes hold for one last effort. The dream... salvation of mankind, elfkind, the men of stone and those that wish to live free... The Queen of Elves, the King of Dwarves, Patriarch of Dragonkind, Kith & kin of halfling and gnome, the Sons of Man - they call to you.

What will you do?
WHAT MUST YOU DO?
For destiny to survive you must reforge, what would not be...

“Agh burzum-ishi krimpatul!”
The words of hope strung together in the black tongue meaning “Out of darkness bind them!”

These bainful words shall be spoken as a rally cry, a call, a voice in the darkness - asking for help...

Daily Life Under the Shadow

Through the ages destiny has searched for those with the will and want to make a difference in the Last Age of Man the Light is cast to two groups thousands of miles seperated by land but standing side by side against the Shadow in the North. One group of [Pathwalkers] begins their journey in the space between [Alvedara] and [Cambrial], while the other find their journey beginning just below [Cale] some distance from [Steel Hill] and the [Veradeen].


Setting Background[edit]

All the people of Eredane know that freedom is a dying word. The Shadow in the North is a seemingly unstoppable force. The weak and the mad give in to his dark temptations, while the strong and the wise can only fight, and die. Some say that there is no hope against the dark lord and his Night Kings.
But the land of Eredane is vast and older than men or elves; throughout the ages, many things have been lost amidst is open plains, its hidden crags, its dark forests, and its cold lakes. Some of those things have been uncovered by accident or design, by the minions of the Shadow or by the forces of light who resist his insane and cruel plans ... these are the secrets of shadow. Daily Life Under the Shadow


RULES[edit]

House Rules in effect in The Scroll Bearers campaign:

  • No XP penalty for multiclassing. Instead, characters with levels in a preferred class gain a bonus feat at 1st, 5th, and 10th class level.
  • Bonus skill ranks from high intelligence can be used to buy a full rank in non-class skills, not a half-rank.

[These house rules were adopted from d20 Conan by Mongoose.]

  • Beyond the spells granted by Channeler levels and feats, channeling spellcasters can learn a number of spells equal to their casting ability modifier each character level. The total number of spells a character can learn in this manner is cumulative. So, if a character with a 16 (+3 modifier) in her casting ability score were to learn only one new spell at level 1 (beyond the spells granted by Channeler levels and feats), she would be able to learn five new spells at level 2. For the purposes of counting the total number of spells learned by a character, 0-level spells count as half a spell.


ALIGNMENT[edit]


SPELLS[edit]

  • Midnight Contract: this is a easy list talking about game group social things, it's just handy to know what's expected.
  • Names a list of naming reference for the different cultures of Ayrth in Midnight. You can get the idea of how to think about the NPC cultures and such, especially the humans
    • Dorns: Celtic and Norse.
