Karthun: Lands of Conflict

Karthun: Lands of Confict is an arcanepunk, high-magic/high-fantasy campaign setting created and brought to life by Brian Patterson in the pages of the 10-year TTRPG webcomic series d20Monkey. In the series, Karthun was created and introduced by the series GM, Sam, but in reality, Karthun is the homebrew campaign setting Brian Patterson has been working on since he was a teenager, drawing inspiration from classic D&D settings, novels, and horror.

Karthun was once a land of peace and prosperity. Then the release of the Worldfire and the breaking of the planes ushered in the Age of Conflict. Now, rulers wage war against the legions of the Three Demon Kings, ravenous undead horrors…and each other. Karthun needs heroes to stand against the darkness, but to be a hero in Karthun is to be a legend, for even the gods can perish here. All that awaits the fallen is the cold, eternal embrace of The Mother of the Dead.
