ABOUT THE SETTING:

World of Duyranaki, The Continent of Men;

It is a time of high international tension, particularly between the three major world powers; The Kingdom of Thrayce, The Empire of Thamazaul & the Confederation of the Sarn Kush.

While, humans predominate both other species also clamour and strive to make their mark in this tired, war torn land.

In this gritty, cut throat, world, politics, religion and commerce reign supreme. Characters need to be both smart and ruthless to survive.

This setting is a labour of love for myself, Chris (aka GM Chance), having been started in ~1992 and worked on ever since.
