welcome traveler !
The purpose of this written work is to create a fantasy medieval world which can be used with either conventional "paper and dice" or "computer RPG" type play. Mundus Khem shall be a sprawling Fantasy world created using the following mechanics:
- Fudge system that uses many borrowed elements from the SRD 20dsystem to give a D&D flavor.
- medieval history for social and technological development
Anyone wanting to contribute to Mundus Khem please keep these design principles in mind so continuity is not broken.
- Classical Latin shall be used as the common tongue, when naming artifacts, alchemy components, or locations in Khem.
What is the meaning of Mundus Khem ?
first, please consider the following definitions..
- Mundus - a Latin word that can mean world or universe
- Khem - an ancient Egyptian word from which the medieval word "Alchemy" is derived (which also lead to modern chemistry). Therefore, terrans (humans) would call Mundus Khem , "The World of Peculiar Alchemy"
Where is Khem located ?
Khem is a fictional parallel world , far from Terra (earth). And since Khem evolved in parallel to Terra, it has many similarities that are closely related to historical terrestrial middle ages.
