I'm really enjoying Akanul as a setting for my first FR campaign.
The heroic tier (1st-10th) is largely based off Paizo's Savage Tide from Dungeon and is lore-light while we learn the new system etc.... There are, however, Chessentan ruins from the time of the Imaskar that are about to be explored in the first adventure and some of the primal spirits of Aglarond will also soon play a role.
The paragon tier (11th-20th) will be set largely in the lands of High Imaskar where the lands of the Old Empires once were. The ruination of Mulhorand has worked out extremely well because now I have Mulhorandi ruins, like Egyptians tombs, ready for exploration and plunder. They won't be a large part of the tier but they will play their role, as will the Imaskari once again as the tier draws to a close.
The epic tier could involve a number of things. The Abolethic Sovereignty is a definite but Szass Tam is also a possibility.
My next campaign is like to be in the Moonsea and cover much of the same ground as 3.5E's less-than-adequate Mysteries of the Moonsea. The adventure by the Brother James will be a key feature of this and I will draw on some of the old lore from Lost Empires of Faerun particularly in respect of the return of House Vyshaan.
After that I have mapped out an adventure in the Silver Marches that reads almost like a FR4E's update of 1E's Keep on the Borderlands/Against the Giants/Descent into the Depths/Vault of the Drow/Fedifensor and Queen of the Demonweb Pits but with a goal of returning Eilistraee to life.
Anyway, suffice to say I have lots of ideas after reading the FRCG but I like filling in the blanks, as it were, by drawing on the old lore also. |
