Welcome to the land of Yrth, a magical realm of incredibly varied
races and monsters—including people snatched from our Earth and
other worlds by the cataclysmic Banestorm!
Whole villages were transported from such diverse locales as
medieval England, France, Germany, and the Far East. Now humans
struggle with dwarves, elves, and each other. The Crusades aren't
ancient history here—they're current events!
Characters can journey from the windswept plains of the Nomad
Lands—where fierce Nordic warriors seek a valiant death to earn a
seat in Valhalla—to Megalos, the ancient empire where magic and
political intrigue go hand-in-hand. Or trek south to the Moslem lands
of al-Wazif and al-Haz to explore the forbidden city of Geb'al-Din.
This book updates the original Yrth of GURPS Third Edition,
Fantasy and Fantasy Adventures. It provides GMs with a complete
world background—history, religion, culture, politics, races, and a
detailed, full-color map—everything needed to start a GURPS
campaign. Phil Masters (Discworld and Hellboy RPGs) and
Jonathan Woodward (Hellboy and GURPS Ogre) have added new
peoples, places, and plots, as well as lots more on magic and
mysticism, all of which conforms to the just-released GURPS
Fantasy and GURPS Magic.
So prepare to make your own mark on Yrth. Plunder elven ruins
while evading the desert natives. Play a peasant-born hero... an
orcish pirate... a Muslim double agent commanded to infiltrate the
Hospitallers.
Yrth awaits the legend of you!
