Welcome to Walpurgia, a system-neutral adventure setting designed to introduce a splash of sci-fi into a fantasy campaign.

The Kingdom of Walpurgia was like any other kingdom. A noble king did his level best to protect the land and ensure the prosperity of his subjects (while living lavishly, of course). Fields of golden wheat waved in the wind. The seven legions of the Walpurgian military protected their designated areas.

Then, one day, a royal astronomer spotted something strange in the sky. A moving star, crossing through the constellation of the Great Tree. Then the Spider. And then he noticed it was getting bigger, and bigger…

This was no star. This was a vessel from beyond the sky, and it slammed into the ground mere kilometers from the Walpurgian capital. The force of the impact destroyed the capital’s walls, even at that distance, and soon strange creatures in metal suits spewed from the ship, accompanied by an alien fog.

That was three years ago. Now, Walpurgia is entirely under the control of these strange creatures, and the only remaining faction of the Kingdom of Walpurgia is the Seventh Legion, who are fighting a guerilla war against the mad conquerors.
