Editing Larisnar

'''Larisnar''' is the setting for [[Warlords of the Accordlands]]. For [[d20]] players most of it is described in ''The World Atlas''; that's the book we got so that's the book we're using.

The [[Dwarves]] here borrowed too greedily and too deep, as usual; and hit upon an ancient [[demon]], also about [[The Silmarillion|par for the course]]. To fight the darkness, the dwarves have built [[golem]]s - again not exactly a trope-subversion if you consider where the dwarven lore comes from (oy!). They may or may not be like those Grey Sqaargs in the [[Fiend Factory]] ''WD''-21. They are [[gargoyle]]s, here.

These dwarves' demon unfortunately happens to be THE demon: the corpse of the Dragon, who was killed in order to make this world. Its body is "gnawed by nameless things" which have spawned the Abyssals. These show up in a golden theme.

The [[Elves]], meanwhile, are cursed. Unlike most elves elsewhere they only live to age 30. They have a way out, though: [[necromancy]]. Alternatively they can take the "Golden Path" ... to sell their souls to the Abyss. Yikes!

The Deverenians are the Nephilim, to the north. They are sort-of humans, but better - and arrogant. Think Lawful Evil [[Elric|Melniboneans]], and/or those dragon-lords in Feist's Midkemia books. They venerate the Storm, which is the soul of the Dragon ripped from its corpse down below.

The Nothrog subvert absolutely no tropes: they're the [[Ork]]s from Warhammer, but unfunny. Or Uruk-Hai. Or maybe hobgoblins, or [[Arcana Unearthed|Chorrim]]. Anyway they're violent militants out East.

The Free Kingdoms, which are us standard humies, somehow have to survive all these threats. The ''Campaign Adventure Book'' (again, for d20) is the canonical [[Adventure Path]] to weave through it all.
