WRATHEN

"The world is dying... 

Wrathen is an aged fool crawling into its grave, knowing with agonizing pains that it will perish from its dehydration. For having drank its fill, unsatisfied, became drunk with fire and ash. For an ocean made clean was not deep enough to satiate their thirst; and a tower of gold, never tall enough to quench their ambitions."

- Pith Braggin, The Journals of Pith Braggin, Vol. 8

WRATHEN is a dying world of desert. It's dual red suns no longer able to adequately heat nor provide for those creatures on its surface, the creatures of the deep sand now emerge unhindered to torment the people of Wrathen. Darkness is feared. Life stumbles onward. And as the powerful scheme as to how they may escape this world or continue it in perpetuity, heroes must rise to protect the people of Wrathen as shepherds into the final hour of a doomed world.

WRATHEN is an apocalyptic third-party setting guide for SHADOWDARK RPG compatible with the free Shadowdark Quickstart Guides. In this 18 page guide, the Dungeon Master is provided with a catalog of the mythic history of Wrathen, the various peoples who make Wrathen their home, as well as a bestiary, Wrathen specific spell supplements, and some ideas on where to begin one's adventures in the dying world of Wrathen. This guide is meant to provide enough information to inspire compelling stories, while also allowing for enough space for DM's to build creatively within this new setting. We hope you enjoy!
