Super excited that Randy from Roan Studios has kickstarted a new supplement for his Bay of Spirits setting. This is the setting in which I've based the Autumn Harbor. The new supplement sounds amazing, essentially it's exactly what I was trying to do with Iavas Sul, making it the gateway to the Hinterland and allowing characters (and players) to explore the lands beyond the more settled towns and cities of Wyvern's Bay. Below is the description and some artwork from the coming book.
It is 50 years before the Bay of Spirits is claimed as a colony and made fit for settlement. Now, it is an uncharted, unclaimed, and untamed land along the northeastern seaboard known as the Dire North. Labeled Wyverns’ Bay on ocean-farer maps, it is a deep, fjord-like sea teeming with nautical nightmares, a rugged coastline serving as a nesting ground for wyverns, and a primeval wilderness looming with peril and the promise of epic adventure.

Characters are members of a 60-person expedition departing from Blulach, embarking on a daring mission of exploration, survival, and conquest. They will lay the groundwork for waves of settlers and pioneers to follow, and come to be known as the Founding Factions. The choices they make will shape the future of this land.

DIRE NORTH - Into the Wilder Lands is a prelude to the Bay of Spirits setting, offering a detailed exploration of a northern hinterland before it was tamed. This 240-page, full-color, 8.5x11 guidebook is packed with everything a Dungeon Master needs to bring this wild world to life.

DIRE NORTH features:
  • Plenty of original, hand-drawn maps, illustrations, and sketches.
  • Rich lore and history.
  • 6 new sub-classes.
  • Dozens of creatures.
  • Adventure tools and tips, from encounter tables, NPC profiles, special items, and myriad of hooks to keep things interesting.
  • Solo adventures.
  • Faction adventures.
  • And a whole lot more...
