welcome traveler !
The purpose of this written work is to create a fantasy world called "Khem" which can be used with either conventional "paper and dice" or adapted for "computer" 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
- Classical Latin is the common tongue in Khem so please use accordingly when naming artifacts, alchemical components, technological devices or locations in Khem.
Anyone wanting to contribute to Mundus Khem please keep these design principles in mind so continuity is not broken.
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, terrestrial 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.
