The system agnostic fantasy world of Väruld is expanding with a second volume. From author Désirée Nordlund comes the second volume detailing the peoples, cultures, and regions of the world. The 200+ page volume has passed the 300% funding mark on Kickstarter and you can reserve a physical copy for a pledge of approximately $31.00 or grab just the PDF for a pledge of approximately $20.00 through April 7th. Expected delivery is this July. Check out my Kickstarter preview right here.
About the project:
This world is meant for RPG Adventures and for stories. It is system agnostic. The world is meant for human interaction and problem-solving, more than fighting, but since it is a sandbox of sorts, it is up to you how you want to use it.
The material does not include actual adventures!
Väurld is a low-magic world, with few monsters and many conflicts between humans. My intention is to offer a world for adventures involving primary puzzles and mysteries.
Väruld is a solar system with three planets, and one of them is being explored at the moment. The three equal-sized planets lie within the sun’s habitable zone. Humans populate them, one race on each planet. 30,000 Earth-years ago, the planets aligned, and the gods-placed portals between the planets opened. For about a quarter of a lifetime, they let people move between planets, creating a mix.
But the mix was not equal shares. The original human race on each planet still dominates.
The planet explored is Fyrst (starting in book 1). It is a world where electricity has not been found, no moon, and since it takes 300 Earth-years for the planet to orbit the giant sun, they do not count life in years.
Fyrst has 24 countries with a variety of cultures and history. You can search for truths in legends, solve local conflicts, search for treasures, and solve mysteries of crime and puzzles. Imagine yourself in the lush tropical forest with the damp heat or out on the harsh, bitter-cold tundra. Fyrst has it all.
