Borough Request Poll

It is time yet again for LIMINA to seek out new partner realms to explore. While we are currently dedicating our efforts toward plumbing the depths of Muc-Mhara, time moves a bit nonlinearly here at LIMINA HQ. What you see before you is refracted and distorted through time and space. Though it may seem as though we have just discovered Muc-Mhara, we are in fact already deploying wayfinders across the multiverse in search of new realms to chart.

And so, we ask you yet again to provide gu...

• First and foremost this will be our first "one-shot" release, a self-contained city or district. While the city of Belciennes is larger than what we show here, we think this snapshot map should be all you need to run exciting Belciennes adventures.

Vyndurvoht 02 - Text and Ink

The ink that binds us to our cause

It's time to delve into the great dwarven library. The first layer of stacks contain the Spellcasting tomes, texts that either instruct in the ways of magic or else produce arcane effects when read aloud. The library is filled with arcane glyphs, the work of the inkbinders, masters of both magic and bureaucracy. There's danger and opportunity in equal measure on A-Level.

Vyndurvoht 01 - Duty and Exodus

We keep the things you do not know

Welcome to Vyndurvoht, the dwarven book vault. Far in the highest reaches of the Vyndur mountains, a hollowed-out cloudshard spire protects the world from the most dangerous texts. Evil books are cared for by northern wardens, the noble dwarves who guard the books from the outside, and the outside from the books.

When we asked what you wanted for your next borough, you said a library city, a dwarven city, and a mesa city. We're giving ...

Corians, Couriers, Courtesans, Coopers, and Constables

Ancora Bay's western hills are a true melting pot: off-duty sailors, craftsmen, bartenders, devotees... this is where they all converge. Meet a parade of interesting characters at The Renforth, then check in on the Gospel of Treachery over in the Black Pit. At any moment, you're not far from the colossal Corian HQ or the fancy Pink Quarter. This is where the cosmopolitan nature of Ancora Bay is most visible!
