This guide features a brief history lesson, a setting gazetteer, and a hex map built in Worldographer. It’s the perfect barebones gazetteer to get you started in a campaign, especially a hexcrawl-style campaign.
Why memorize 150+ pages of setting lore? Why dive into a world of 20 warring nations that all feel alike? Why go cross-eyed trying to remember which VIP is the arch-chancellor of this realm or that one? Trueland is a framework setting for you to drop in the world of your choice, or to build up from what you find within these pages. Each location gets a sidebar of adventure ideas, scenarios, monster encounters, and even player options.

Adventures in Dalentown includes two nearby settlements. Rock Down is a halfling and gnome village that provides slice of life experiences mixed with fairytale whimsy.
