Intro to Corvis

Reprinted from The Longest Night, the D20 adventure that serves as Privateer Press‘s introduction to its Iron Kingdoms campaign setting:

Ah, Corvis. “The City of Ghosts,” they call it. Merchants that plied the Black River and Dragon’s Tongue founded the city almost nine hundred years ago, right at the edge of a natural harbor where the rivers meet. These pioneers believed that trade from the rivers could drive the growth of a vity, and they were right. They had a rough time of it at first, but soon the city was growing faster than a swamp rat pup. Today about 100,0000 souls call it home, and more arrive every day. Corvis is an island of civilization in the roughest part of Greater Cygnar. The next closest major city is Point Bourne, over two hundred leagues to the west. Farther still downstream is the infamous Five Fingers.

However there’s something missing: There is a fey subtype called “Grymkin” which lacks any real explaination or categorization. To help myself get all of this straight, I’m listing here all Grymkin by name from the Monsternomicon.

Iron Kingdoms

Privateer Press is at it again. I’ve buried my head into the new Monsternomicon (released last month). I’m very much looking forward to The Guide to The Iron Kingdoms book in November after taking a look at this beastiary of undead, constructs, and rather interesting fauna.

The folks at Privateer Press have done an outstanding job of tying the theme of their campaign world together into a tight little bundle with a greater degree of internal consistency in tone than anything I’ve seen in an RPG since… Paranoia, really.
