Empires Rising
Empires Rising is a new stand alone fantasy setting for HeroQuest filled with adventure, warfare, conquest and Empire building by Nathan Baron.
Two fledgling empires inspire to rule the world of Athennia, each making a fast grab for territory.
- The Grydornlan Empire, a totalitarian regime that uses religious enlightenment as an excuse to conquer its weaker neighbours, threatens to engulf the entire Southern Continent.
- Atalansia, a major naval power, sails the seas liberating nations from the yoke of tyranny.
In the middle stands the Alliance, a handful of nations and smaller states who frightened of the prospect of invasion have decided to take a stand against the oncoming storm.
Guide to Empires Rising
The Guide includes:
- A Gazetteer which includes a brief history of the world, a list of important NPCs and information about the three major civilisations; Atalansia, the Alliance and the Grydorlan Empire.
- New character culture and occupation keywords.
- Cult entries for the main religion ‘The Twelve Pilgrims’ and lesser cults.
- How magic works in Athennia. Rules for the use of Battle Magic, Divine Magic and Sorcery in the setting.
- Four scenarios. Each is set in a different part of the world, with a differing theme and its own Gazetteer at the beginning and is intended to showcase different aspects of the setting.
It is currently being worked on for a Spring 2012 release.
