Kingmaker

Heroic Action Role-Play

This is the campaign page for the Kingmaker campaign set to the west of Lake Whyestil and east of the great Veseve Forest.

Background

In CY 586 the Iuz wars (part of the continent-spanning as the Greyhawk Wars) end as the Staff of Rao is used to create the Flight of Fiends, when most outsiders are banished from the Flanaess, including Iuz the Old himself. This banishment is to last for a hundred years and a day. A power vacuum appears in the north-central Flanaess.

In CY 629, the demon-tree of the Vese was defeated and the elven kingdom in the region reestablished.

In CY 646 the Medevian Crusade breaks the power of the demon lords that have usurped power in the Shield Lands and Rift Canyon. (Wrath of the Righteous) In a coordinated attack, the nobles of Furyondy launch an army along the western shore of Lake Whyestil, encoutering little organized resistance but a lot of friction from disorganized forces of humanoids and evil fey. About half of the army returned, the other parts having been lost or established dominions of their own in the area.

It is now CY 664 and a more focused attempt at colonizing and fortifying the area in preparation for Iuz possible return in CY 746 is about to be undertaken. This colonization effort is the result of diplomatic efforts by the Circle of Eight and the Pathfinder Society, and involves backing from a lot of power groups in the area.

Factions

The idea is for the heroes to become leaders for various factions and their interests in the area. This requires that player characters be well established with the various power groups. Here is a list of the major groups and their sub-groups.

Feudal Faction

The Kingdom of Furyondy sent an army to pacify the area, and has a number of younger lords eager to establish fiefdoms in the area. Strong in cavalry, knights, and divine magic, the feudal faction is mainly a military power.

Kingdom of Furyondy Based in the court of nearby Chendl, the king is and has traditionally been a paladin devoted to Heironeous, and gathers enthusiastic young knights to its cause. It is closely allied to the church of Heironeous.
