About

What if the Indians were Elves, and drove the white men back into the sea?

And yet a remnant of humans survives in the Appalachian mountains.

Appalachia

Appalachia a human centered campaign where the enemies are elves. It is designed for the Elven Indians to be the enemies.

CONTENT WARNING: Elves are the bad guys and can be executed on sight (core of game), Christianity and Judaism is the most common religion (in play), Slavery of black humans and others exists (in Georgia). Appalachia is rife with stereotypes. None-the-less try to avoid egregious racism when running and playing this campaign. The humans are under attack from all sides and so they tend to band together and care much less about skin color than humans in our world do. Also, please no anti-Semitism.

Half-elves are never to be trusted
