Morningstar Fantasy Campaign Setting (d20)
At Stake... Two worlds of great natural beauty locked in a struggle that threatens to destroy them both. Thraxis and Arril: blue sisters sharing an orbit¸ with continents¸ seas¸ and life. A world in the midst of an Age of Majesty many believe will never end: nine diverse Empires at the peak of magical and cultural achievement. A world that has never known an Age of Darkness¸ where men and women push themselves daily to greater heights. It is an age of innocence and hope¸ when possibility knows no bounds. Elder races untouched by the decay of time¸ great monuments to man's resourcefulness and his hubris. Mystic power waiting to be claimed¸ and a destiny still in the making. Dragons ruling an empire¸ a land that can forge gods. The Threat... The Canticle of the Morning Star: an inscrutable living Prophecy that is either a warning¸ or a malevolent force leading mankind towards annihilation. The world has become a beacon to those who wish to subvert¸ destroy or command¸ and they are flocking here¸ bringing their alien wars in a bid that will alter the course of history and the nature of reality. Celestials¸ demons¸ devils¸ gods¸ and a sophisticated race called The Strangers compete with men¸ elves¸ dwarves and halflings to recast this idyllic planet in their own images. Salvation...
