Towns, Empires, and Ruins
A source to the locations of the Darken Realm ®
Badland Rock Spires
Located east of the village of Scarskin is a barren patch of hell blasted
landscape known as the Badland Rock Spires. The superstitious tribe of Scarskin believes that the spires hold the souls
of all the young exiled into the wasteland that never return home. Haunted by spirits from the netherworld, the Badland
Rock Spires are the edge of the known world to the tribals of Scarskin.
Turner's Corner
Just north of the fishing town of Shape Home, a treacherous hangout known
as Turner's Corner resides. The mercenary hangout draws scum from all over the wasteland. If a daring young
adventurer seeks fame and fortune, Turner's corner is either the road to riches or a shallow grave.
Rasheed
The city state of Rasheed is the focal point of civilization in the southern
reaches of the Darken Realm ®. This mighty city is led by the powerful King Toil, a favored monarch by his subjects.
The king leads with a kind heart but an iron fist towards those that would oppose a just peace.
Godhome
After the great apocalypse, wise and powerful genetic engineers fled the
destroyed cities and created a paradise away from the radioactive fallout and chaos. Before they passed into legend,
the scientists created new forms of life, unleashing them upon the wasteland. The ancient laboratory that the scientists
lived is known as Godhome, a ruin eagerly sought by historians and treasure hunters alike.
The Concrete Barrens
The west coast of America
was ravaged by nuclear fire during the great war. All that remains are the radioactive
ashes of these former cities. The Concrete Barrens is one such city, a ruined
cinder. Human kind and the natural world both have battered this city alike. Fractured by violent earthquakes, the ruins have fallen into the sea and have been
flooded by the ocean. Remnants of skyscrapers now poke out of the dark, heaving
waves. Volcanic vents and geysers disrupt the landscape. The Concrete Barrens is a hell blasted desolate ruin covered by toxic tar pits and radioactive ash. It is in this tortured setting that a powerful band of gun runners has made their
home, a secret society with a dark agenda.
