Land of Song

Land of Song is the world and the campaign. It is run by its Dungeon Master; this archive records it from the seat of one player, whose character is Niðrerir, a Celeste warlock and former soldier of the Great War.

The world was shaped by two peoples who ate of the Tree and became the god-like Aesir and Vaenir — the Aesir making creatures of order, the Vaenir creatures of chaos and passion. Their falling-out became the Great War, which destroyed the Tree, killed thousands of the Creators and millions of their creations, and ended with the Vaenir banished and the rainbow bridges sealed. A thousand years on, in the present age, the surviving Aesir and Vaenir hide among mortals while the Reavers hunt every immortal. The Celeste, a vested race made by the Vaenir but sworn to the Aesir's side, came out of the war hated by both.
