The 22nd Century

Life 150 years from now.

This was originally conceived as a collaborative writing project that never took off. I wrote this document, but there was extensive contribution by Dan Wells and Robison Wells as I was putting the information together.

Parth: Tarth and Parthann — Two Desert Empires of Faith and Learning

I remember being annoyed when I wrote this Azmoth article that it turned into a single article. They’re different empires, so I kind of felt that they deserved their own article. But the shared history and religion was enough that it didn’t justify repeating. Maybe I’ll think of a better way to organize it when I put together the pdf of the whole world.

Silkur: Knives, Pride, and Lots of Wine

This is another Azmoth article by Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield that shows his creative deftness. This was almost a complete departure that I had in my head when I wrote the first document in the series. And it’s also completely better. A fascinating set of people, these Silkurees.

The Nomad Plains: Wanderers in a Strange Land

Back to one I wrote all by my lonesome. You can tell the very different style from the ones by Kije. I like the idea of the Hegs, and the quetzls weren’t a bad touch. I went much more high fantasy than the previous entries in the Azmoth series.

Bregtoran: Warriors of Steppe and of Skov

While Bask is my favorite article, this is the Azmoth article with the most potential for use, in my opinion. Buckets of plot/adventure hooks and a firm culture to go around it.

I remember editing this one and being impressed with the ingenuity and creative mind Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield had — even regarding stuff we eventually cut out.

Bask: Islands of Power and Wealth

 
   

10:52:01

This Azmoth article was originally written by Nathan “Lieutenant Kije” Hatfield under my direction. It was heavily modeled after Renaissance England or the Netherlands. Kije did a great job on all the articles, but I think this was my favorite.
