Swashbuckler
När jag har haft tråkigt på jobbet så har jag funderat lite över en rollspelsvärld. En pseudokinesisk korvtårta inspirerad av anime, wuxia, Kung-fu Panda, Elric och andra kinesiska/japanska rollspel.
Jag kallar det för Fearless Swordsmen of the Sky Islands. Av någon anledning har jag skrivit på engelska:
History
Many eons ago a nighmarish evil invaded our reality and claimed ownership of our realm. The world was shattered into pieces, many gods were killed in the war - and the people suffered. A long time has passed since the great catastrophe; the people fought hard for their survival and now populate the thousands upon thousands of land fragments which orbit the central burning core. These sky islands, some big enough be covered in lakes and rivers and mountains, are suspended in the air by powerful divine magic lingering from the great catastrophe.
Travel between the Sky Islands
Several of the floating land masses are connected by large suspension bridges. The bridges were built ages ago and cared for by The Bridge Masters. Carts with supplies cross the bridges several times a day and tolls must be paid by all bridge travelers. Other islands not connected by bridges can only be visited if you have the means to fly, either with the help of magic or by hang glider. Hang gliders are made of a light bamboo frame and thin fabric, the pilot is suspended in a harness below the airframe and controls the glider by shifting body weight. Travelling by hang glider can be dangerous, sudden gusts can send the pilot off course or crashing to the ground. Hang gliding is also considered - by those who have dared tried it - to be one of the most exhilarating and beautiful experiences of their life. Sometimes when the clouds move in the right position one can actually see the burning central core that gives the world light and warmth.
Magic of the Sky Islands
The world is filled with magic; it surrounds and penetrates all living things in the world. The entire realm held in stasis by the balance of Xinyo, the chaotic forces, and Meiyo, the lawful forces. If one force grows stronger the balance is shifted which can lead to disastrous consequences. Islands can move or even crash into the burning core of the world, or suddenly be hurled into the dark beyond. The land masses have been stable for many years, but sometimes the ground tremble from disturbances in the balance.
