Question about the Worldwound

[SwnyNerdgasm]

I have a ranger in an upcoming Wrath campaign and he asked me what types of terrain are common in the Worldwound. Anyone know?

[Seannoss]

There are several terrain types in the Worldwound. The one that the AP takes place in I'd call more like a badland, its filled with many ravines and broken areas. I'd be more likely to call it its own terrain type if that works for you.

If you're going by RAW, I might call that desert (cross between Plains and desert, more on the desert side, very little vegetation.)

Badlands

[Seannoss]

It occurred to me that if you're feeling lenient you could let him take Plane: Abyss as well and let that apply to the Worldwound.

[SwnyNerdgasm]

I've decided to just make it simple and rule it as Terrain: Worldwound

[Mal_Luck]

Also consider Planes (Abyss) as the latter 3 books take place mostly in the Abyss.

[SwnyNerdgasm]

Well I know that, but my players have been pretty good about avoiding spoilers in almost every AP we've run

We had this come up in my game as well and we went with Desert (sand and wastelands). I decided that wastelands covered the area of the Worldwound they would be in the best.

James Jacobs weighed in on this topic back in 2011:

Worldwound terrains

Timesaver: cold, forest, mountains, plains, and swamp. The region's most notable feature, the rifts spreading out from the heart of the Worldwound, is considered mountain terrain.
