Setting: The adventure takes place at the end of the Age of Darkness in Galarion. The Starstone that impacted Galarion nearly 1,000 years ago in -5293 AR, and the current year is -4294. The cloud of fine dust created by Earthfall that caused the Age of Darkness finally begins to lift. The people of Golarion again see the full light of the sun after its absence of nearly a thousand years. This heralds the Age of Anguish as primitive people struggle to build new empires and forget the horrors of the past millennia. Many races are trying to rebuild, grow and gain power once more as the land is coming out of chaos. Currently the Orcs are still roaming the lands and causing chaos among people trying to rebuild. The ground still in the stages of non-fertility and only small portions of the world has become fertile enough for farms to prosper. There is still several places that are under ash from the excessive fall that have befallen the world causing dead trees and muddy swamps.

Starting Location: The group will start out in Avistan, in the Kyonin Elven forest: the City “Walking Man”, one of the fastest growing areas with plenty of food, but outside of Kyonin it’s still a scary place beyond the forest, but be warned the forest is no place for commoners either and many still fear the invading Orcs. Kyonin
Additional information: The campaign is going to be very long, and I can’t assure that you will level up regularly, as time progresses you will level up but only time will tell. Furthermore, I will be posting as often as I can to the campaign which will be about once or twice a week. There will be times that I am capable of posting more than that but that will depend on my schedule. I like details and I will do my best to give the details as clear as possible, though I am not perfect. I encourage role play amongst each other and as long as actions don’t adversely affect play I am fairly relaxed about environmental interactions.
– Example: (Bad) “I run up to the NPC and kill him after beating him down, then I burn down the tavern that everyone was in.”
– Example: (good) “The bartender accepted my tip and gave me a quick pat on the back, while me and jimmy in the back had a spar to test our skills, apparently his skills were as good as mine or better.”
More elaborate details are acceptable but I think you understand the difference.
My experience with Galarion is limited so I am expending my knowledge as I go so bare with me. I will make judgment calls as I need to but I try to stick to the rules as close as possible. I have run several games before but majority of them are house based and completely of my own design.
House Rules: “If anything I say is wrong or not correct don’t hassle me amount rules, I do my best to follow them. It will be what I say it is at that time and then you can PM me later to inform me of the correct rule with link as proof, I will decide if I wish to accept it or not for future encounters.”
Player vs Player: “Banter is ok such as hatred for one another or dislike due to character concept, but if it comes to in game attacks on one another that is not a result of sparring I will kick both players from the campaign. This is a group campaign and players should get along or work together for a common goal, not PVP.”
