Hello guys!
Hello guys! I wanted to share with you my World Workbook based in the "Antiguo y Colosal" setting for Fate, it's a spanish setting based in Shadow of the Colossus and ICO. If I don't write this somewhere or share it I will procrastinate and never begin my adventures.
THE OLD WORLD
The Ancients, our forefathers, build a great empire full of technology, wonders and splendor. Their pride consumed them and awoke the Titans. We, the Little People, are all that remains, and we must suffer and atone for the sins of our ancestors.
IRON
Inscrutable metal pillars are found throughout the land. They are iron gray, and smooth as river stone. They have a faint red aura and strange glyphs carved into them. The pillars do not tarnish, and even the sharpest blade cannot mark them. We call them "Haunt Stones".
LEGACIES
Before us were the Ancients. All that remains of their once glorious civilization is ruins and devastation. Altough they were our predecessors, little is known about them.
COMMUNITIES
We live in communities called circles. These are settlements ranging in size from a steading with a few families to a village of several hundred. Some circles belong to nomadic folk. Some powerful circles might include a cluster of settlements. We trade (and sometimes feud) with other circles.
LEADERS
Our communities are led by a council of Elders, comprised entirely of women. Some believe the ruin of our ancestors happened when the Ancients changed their matriarchy for a patriarchal empire, thus, the matriarchy was restored, out of fear.
DEFENSE
The Little People rarely has any warriors or hunters, as fighting against nature and the horrors of the night is going against the consequences of the sins of the Ancients, and we must attone. Some youth recently started bonding with mystical creatures, the Ancient Beasts, and fighting with whatever martial knowledge they can learn. We call them the "Unsubmissives", some of them even exiled from their villages.
MAGIC
Magic courses through this land as the rivers flow through the hills. Only the shamans and some elders have enough knowledge in how to channel the ley lines with rituals, but some explorers also know some to help them in tasks.
RELIGION
A few Little People still make signs or mumble prayers out of habit or tradition, but most believe the gods long ago abandoned us.
FIRSTBORN
The firstborn are known as Ancient Beasts, animals even older than our ancestors, their bodies imbued with ley line energy. They dissapeared long before the cataclysm struck the Ancients, but now returned to aid the Unsubmissive fight the Titans.
BEASTS
The magic of the Haunt Stones spreads like dark tendrils, corrupting what it touches. Animals, flora, even some of us get turned into Haunts, predatory monsters with unusual capabilities.
HORRORS
Some of the Ancients still remain in this world as Shadows, terrible creatures of nightmare that roam the ruins and lands close to their old cities. Looking at one of these horrors can freeze on its place even the bravest man, and they hold terrible powers, and secrets.

Its a nice write up. Simple. Clear. Evocative. Communicates a lot of info and setting feel succinctly. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is making me want to do my own setting. I love the idea of using the World Truths guidelines and adapting them to yuur own vision. Beautiful.
