Aestereon

Aestereon is the new campaign I (Maha) am working on because I've been hit with some FUCKING INSPIRATION recently and I need a place to put it all.

Things to know:

The world of Aestereon is (currently) a magic-lite world, currently set when the first few generations of people that have been able to survive the Mana Wastes without ill effects. The Mana Wastes are a massive area of ever expanding and contracting uncontrolled magic, constantly affecting all things within the area. For thousands of years people have tested the limits of the Mana Wastes, often giving people the option of execution or journeying through the Wastes.

Side effects of being exposed to the Mana Wastes generally include some flavour of horrific mutation, or unnatural monstrosity caused by such mutations.

People with magic power are showing up more often: divine casters are granted powers from voices worlds away, some arcane casters understand how to summon the effects of the magic fields without horrific mutations and others have gained magic through intense study.

The current pitch:

A wealthy lord has requested the presence of those who are immune to the warping effects of the Wastes for a certain task. One of the lands taken by the Mana Wastes belonged to his family, and recently the Wastes have receded from this land.

The task is to investigate the lord's for to see if the land is habitable and to see if anything can be salvaged. Goods, new items of magical significance, etc etc. Although the Wastes have disappeared from the area for now, it is unknown how long it will be before the land is reclaimed.

Another factor in the danger of this particular mission is the rumors of creatures of the Wastes appearing in the reclaimed lands.The descriptions of the creatures of the Wastes vary in description: bipedal beings resembling normal people but respond a little too slowly, acting a little too unnaturally. Animals that have taken properties from the surrounding lands, other animals or even likenesses of humanoid faces into their body. There are even tales of living beings made of magic that wander the wastes, attacking the unfortunate travellers that come through.
