Westerly Tales.
[[D&D Version]]

A RuneQuest VI powered game, set firmly in the implied Dungeons and Dragons settings of the early editions.

'''Westerly Chain.'''

Several groups of Islands, ranging in size from sandy reefs drowned at high tide to Skayre, which is roughly the size of England. Home to the children of exiles, those who fled the great expansions of the Trusceran Empire.

'''Lwnyss''' (Pronounced lan-ess) Is the great Isle, former home to many of the exiled peoples. Taken by the Truscerans after long and bloody conflicts, then collapsed into a monster-haunted wasteland when the Truscerans were thrown down by the Essinians and the great barbarian migrations of 120 years ago. Now Lwnyss is the sight of raids and campaigns from the Westerlys and the mainland, as exiled peoples attempt to reclaim their old lands.
