Arthea

Welcome to the World of Arthea.

Introduction

This is a fantasy world created for an Epic campaign using the D&D 3.5 ruleset. The current incarnation of this campaign has been running for over two years.

The world in which the campaign is set has a rich and detailed history, and has been grown and expanded as time has progressed. The current campaign is the third to be set in this world.

The original campaign began life in the mid-1980's, and was eventually word-processed on an old Atari ST computer; that campaign ran until not far short of 1990. It overlapped briefly with a second campaign, which went more or less alongside the first, but turned out to be far shorter. The third campaign began life as a re-run of the first, and it drew upon the first campaigns story-lines and villains, and re-used old adventures where possible. It has now progressed beyond the end of that first campaign, and has plenty of new stories and adventures that expand significantly upon the original.

The documents detailing the world have been re-worked, some could be taken only from the original paper variants, but now include some significant expansion as the world has grown. Parts of the history have been embellished with more detail, and one or two dates straightened for plausibility. The changes included here are also a re-work of the players information, which takes the game from TSR's AD&D V2 rule-set to the WotC 3.5E rules.

This Wiki contains the newest documents and latest changes to the game world (and any modified rules which support it). Changes in this Wiki will be rolled into the published documentation as time progresses. Additional contribution to the rich and detailed history here are welcomed. Feel free to join in the storytelling.
