Revision as of 00:55, 18 October 2005

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 99th year later, the Last Age of man…

The Light at the End of the Tunnel grows dim in these last days.
For 10,000 years the Light has been dying and the Shadow corrupting ever more souls. Now, desperate and alone, the Light re-opens to allow the pathwalkers to develop incredible powers and understanding, by coming to embody an eternal archetype once called hero.
But that will not be enough…
Man’s Faith must be resurrected from Serf to King.
The mighty must be gathered.
The powers must be found
and if destiny be with us we shall reforge, what should not be...

“Isil’zha Voren!” - a battle cry from the black tongue meaning “In His Name.”
These three words shall be spoken as a blessing, an oath, and a prayer for the One…
The Fey not birthed of Fey.

Welcome to the SCROLL BEARERS campaign wiki.
With the Campaign beginning on August 7th 2004, this wiki site is a resource for a face-to-face tabletop fantasy role-playing game using the Midnight Setting for the Dungeons and Dragons system.

The goal of this wiki site is to form a repository of information about our game that is easily accessible and editable to the entire game group. A "campaign series bible".

SCROLL BEARERS Setting Background

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.
