Humblewood Campaign Setting (PDF)

In the world of Everden, nestled between the mighty Crest mountain range and the vast marshes of the Mokk Fields, lies a mystical forest known as Humblewood that hums with the Great Rhythm of nature.

It has been ruled for generations by the birdfolk who inhabit the Great Tree-City of Alderheart. Humblewood has endured for centuries thanks to the industry and compassion of its people...

...but now the fires have come, and the Woods have been thrown into chaos.

Flames ravage the land and destroy the homes of the humblefolk, stoking a growing resentment against the birdfolk, whose cities have managed to avoid the worst of the fires so far. Hatred burns in the hearts of those who have lost lives they cherished, and these once peaceful peoples now take up the sword and turn to banditry.

...yet there is still hope. Even in these dark times, brave heroes can be found within the Wood. Only they can quell the raging flames that have been unleashed upon the land, and restore balance to the realm.

Will you answer the call?

The Birdfolk

The birdfolk races have ruled over Humblewood from their canopy villages and fortified cities for as long as anyone can remember. Play as one of the five core birdfolk races:

• The astute crow-like Corvum who safeguard Humblewood’s knowledge
• The dignified fowl-like Gallus who have faith in the power of community
• The aloof pidgeon-like Lumas who use their gifts to bring joy into the world
• The agile hawk-like Raptors who blaze new trails through the forest
• The powerful owl-like Strig who defend what they believe is right

The Humblefolk

The humblefolk live in small villages throughout the Wood, but are occasionally found in birdfolk cities. Play as one of the five core humblefolk races:

• The hearty deer-like Cerva who strive to achieve their goals
• The sensitive hedgehog-like Hedges whose empathy lets them see what others cannot
• The brave mouse-like Jerbeen who inspire those around them with deeds of heroism
• The resourceful raccoon-like Mapach who can craft a solution to any problem
• The cunning fox-like Vulpin who are always one step ahead of their foes

The Oozes

Deep within the murk of the Mokk Fields live several species of this most resilient life-form. Battle your way through caustic slimes whose touch is a deadly acid, sticky slimes that can suck a weapon right out of your hand, and the rare shifting slimes which feed on magical energies to become ever stronger.
