Kingdom of Sails: Lands in Shadow
Five days sailing east of the Northern Reach’s city of Gateway, if the wind favors you, there rises the first of a series of sixteen islands arrayed over the Auroral Ocean in a massive crescent that stretches southwards over hundreds of miles. The cultures across the islands are diverse, yet they all regard themselves as one people, the Tide Born, and owe allegiance to a single nation: the Kingdom of Sails.
This entry into the Lands in Shadow series reveals details about the Kingdom of Sails, one of the nations that managed to resist falling under the Empire’s influence. The details are meant to be a starting point for campaigns set on the edges of Rûl, offering you information to spark your imagination and ignite your creative fires. You can use the material as written or adapt it in any way you choose to make it fit the stories you want to tell.

On the Empire’s northeastern edge, perched on the giant rocks that tumbled down into the swirling waters of the Auroral Ocean can be found the Freeholds of Nar. Once a string of fortresses belonging to the doughty dwarfs who mined, prying gold and jewel from the stone’s tight grip. The wealth unearthed and the skill of the artisans established the holds as a place of wonder and riches, a reputation that lasted until, one day, the ring of hammering went silent, the light of torches guttered out, and the dwarfs who had made the place their home disappeared.
