What Kind of Game Is This?

Masada: Fallen Empires

A Dungeons and Dragons Campaign Set in a World That Forgot Itself

Centuries ago the world went silent. No apocalypse. No prophecy. No history. From that silence rose Masada, a continent stitched together by fractured nations, half remembered faiths, and gods that no longer speak with one voice.

Two powers now divide the land:
New Antioch, a Militocracy of scripture and steel, where service is survival and faith is law.
The Elden Concordat, a pact bound remnant of oaths and old wounds, still clinging to fragile unity.

Their peace holds, but barely. Beyond their reach, the wilds fester. Crops fail. Beasts twist. The forest watches. In the Vale, something older is dying, and in the small village of Wolfs Chapel, a pact made in grief awakens something ancient.

This is not a world of heroes. There is no chosen one. This is a world that remembers what you forget, and answers when you ask the wrong questions.
