The Barons of Dinsmist Wiki



Welcome to the The Barons of Dinsmist Wiki

This is a wiki about the D&D NEXT campaign "The Barons of Dinsmist". Here we will keep information about the Player Characters, the NPCs throughout the world, and other pertinent information. I encourage Player Characters to add to this wiki.

Geography and population
In the Barons of Dinsmist, the planet Artem has 5 major continents. Much of the world is covered in scattered islands. Askeril, Valmyr, and Amoria are the three continents featured prominently on the map. These three continents are also home to the only real "civilized" portions of the world, as much of Artem is uninhabitable or geographically inaccessible.

Askeril is the home to five kingdoms: Kandaria, in the west, an inhospitable desert. The Western Fold, just east of Kandaria but north of the dwarven kingdoms, a mysterious, generally regarded as malicious nation that has it's borders closed with the highest security. To the south of The Western Fold are the dwarven kingdoms, the mountains are treacherous and crawling with creatures fit to feast on the foolish. North of The Western Fold lies the beautiful, lush forests of the Wood Elves, Andwen. The furthest east kingdom is Dinsmist, a land of free men, elves, dwarves, halflings, and many other races.

Valmyr in the north east, a frozen and unforgiving land, is home to the mighty Frost Kings. Rumors of giants, dragons, and other horrors make their way from the frozen mountain tops to the rest of the world quite often.

Amoria is a relatively small continent located in the north west. It is home to the High Elves, and although high elves often travel to other parts of the world, it is rare for anyone not of high elven lineage to ever actually see the wondrous, beautiful cities that dwell within. Many people suspect the elves protect a vast power up in their magical hold, and even whispers of sinister secrets reach the mundane world from time to time.

Politics
The Fourth Age is now upon Artem, and the great wars of the previous ages have left the world in a mostly peaceful state. The Western Fold, once home to the evil armies of the emporer Til Servian, is now but a shell of it's former self, walled off and independent of the surrounding kingdoms. The Frost Kings and Dinsmist are amicable enough, however there is a "silent" land feud waging over the Sentinel's Pass, a small piece of land connecting Askeril to Valmyr.

Religion
The deities of Artem are powerful and all encompassing.
