Codex of Aihrde

The Codex of Aihrde begins in the year 1197, 80+ years after the fall of the Horned God Unklar, who ruled in Aihrde for a thousand years. What this does for you, the player and game master, is presents you with a world both old....thousands of years of history to build upon...but at the same time very young. For the new Kingdoms are only a few decades old. They are fresh and ripe for expansion. Its more than enough to get you started, but leaves you plenty of room to develop.

In Aihrde, heroes tread in iron shod boots and wizards lean on crooked staffs to plunder the buried wealth and power of the ages. Here, the eternal struggle goes on, age after age, for Aihrde is a world of adventure, of undaunted heroes, untainted by the decadent philosophies of those meek who suffer in the shadows of lesser men. For here the stone columns of history are wiped clean, awaiting the bold to carve their mark and gain entry to the halls of immortality.

The Andanuth: Learn the story of Aihrde, from its uttermost beginning to the present age. It follows the journey of All Father, the creation of the gods and the world. We learn who the gods are and how they interact long before the coming of the dwarves and man. The story covers the creation of these people and more and all their long journeys and travails from their arrival to the realms of today. The Andanuth is generously sprinkled with stories and tales of gods and men, dwarves and goblins, war and peace.
