Meamnar is a classic fantasy campaign setting for the d20 system.

Introduction

Welcome, traveler, to the lands of Meamnar. I am the Misfit and I shall be your guide throughout your exploration of this beautiful realm.

I have spent the better part of a century learning some of the things that I will share with you here. Much of my knowledge, though, has been gained just in the past two seasons, as a humble guest of Vasha Elventree, the legendary sage of the Northern Kingdoms. It is with deepest appreciation that I thank my beautiful hostess for the wealth of knowledge that she has shared with me, so that I may, in my turn, share it here with you.

The guide you hold before you contains, to the best of my ability, a description of all the known wonders of Meamnar. With some exception, I have penned it myself. Sidebars are attributed to their original authors, when known. Some also are direct transcripts by yours truly of digressions and mental wanderings of the ancient sage that were simply too rich in their original form to paraphrase.

It is my genuine hope that you will find this guide entertaining, and perhaps even useful. May it aid you in your travels, wherever they may lead.

Credits

I wrote this. However, I did not create it, at least not solely. I know not yet what part God has played; only that it is through him that all things come to pass.

Many of the concepts, ideas, people, places, and names originate from the Realms of the Dragon LpMud, where I have been a player off and on since 1994. Many others are from countless other sources, some remembered, but most forgotten. It is not my intent to steal their work, but to honor their existence, and in some cases their memory. I hope I accomplish that.

Of course, this is a wiki, after all, so I can only hope that others will contribute here, and I have no idea from where their inspiration comes.

The World

Geography

The planet of Meamnar, which is about 25,000 miles in circumference, has a surface similar to our own, composed of vast oceans separated by several continents. The foremost of these is called Alu'drial in the elven tongue, though humans native to the continent have no name for it other than Meamnar. In contrast to our own world, Meamnar's northern polar ice cap covers a land mass, while its southern extreme is oceanic.

Religion

The pantheon of Meamnar is polytheistic, although a single entity known as the Creator is the sole Overlord of the pantheon.
