Cities of Myth
Cities of Myth is a third-party multiverse setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition being released on DriveThruRPG by publisher "Realmswarp Media", based around the idea of a multiverse made up of planes that reflect/embody various fantastical realms from real-life mythologies - King Arthur's Britain, El Dorado, Asgard, etcetera. This multiverse is interlinked by leylines, which are the ultimate source of life and magic.
Currently, only a single subsetting - Fallen Camelot - and a "setting primer" that discusses universal rules and terminology for the metasetting have been released. Two more subsettings (Atlantis Rising and Asgaard/Thule) are scheduled for release in late 2020, with others planned for a post-2020 release.
In their own words, these settings were written and designed with "21st century representation and inclusivity" in mind. Exactly how that comes across is up to you.
