New Campaign Setting Pathfinder Rules.

[Layander]

I am placing a post about the campaign setting I am writting. I do not know where to start so this will be slightly chaotic I am sure. One thing I could use help on is names. I have used alot of place holder names and if you want to make a suggestion about one of the names feel free to do so here.

First of all I am an old school player with a large influence from Dragonlance, and Greyhawk. I like magic to be rare, but important. This does not mean making sure players never get items. It means having non magic expencive items being more common, and magic treasures being important items with names, and usually backgrounds.

The setting takes place on a continent that through the ages people have come to inhabit mostly from other parts of the world, this is somewhat of a melting pot continent. The people of the island came here to wage the final parts of an ancient war. A war so great that the lands of the world shifted and left the island continent alone with no support from the mother contries.

The first topic I would like to cover is the gods of the world. There are 13, 12 were sent by a unknown high god to grow the world in the high gods vision, the 13th came on his own will to ruin the high gods vision.

The history,

In an ancient age the gods battled eachother and called the humanoid races to fight with them. A final battle was forming on the continent island of Kovard. races from the four corners of the earth landed troops on differant parts of the island to fight the orcish hordes that controlled the island. A few great heroes managed to get to the temple of the dark one, no one knows what happened there but the end was a massive explosion that rocked the world. Continents were moved tides changed and the armies on the island were alone. They claimed their own lands and started building societies again.

One group developed faster than the others, they marched through the lands of others and built an empire. At the same time barbarians from the northern island sailed south and started pillaging the northern regions and eventually they started running some towns in the north.

The great empire eventually controlled most of the continent, but trouble came when they met the Hobgoblin border. They hobgoblins were Feirce and well trained and beat back the empire. Eventually people rebelled against the empire and broke free. Forming their own kingdoms.
