Map Icons
Use these icons to indicate different types of terrain and features on the map. If a
given type of terrain covers a large area, you don’t thave to draw an icon in every sin-
gle hex; just draw an outline of the region and draw a few icons within that outline
to indicate the overall terrain. Invent new icons as needed.

you can’t find an answer in these rules, discuss the question and
draw your own conclusions.
Respect boundaries.
The game has some built-in guardrails, but
it never hurts to check tomake sure you’re not messing with
another player’s hopes or plans.
Maintain the tone.
As you add to and change your world, be
conscious of your agreed-upon thematic touchstones.
Follow your instincts.
Do what you feel would be most interesting
or fun without too much second-guessing.
Be decisive.
Strong, clear choices will give your contributions
more character.
Make connections.
Establishing elationships between the contri-
butions os various players will help to make your setting more
engaging and memorable.
Lean into drama.
Seek opportunities to create tension and con-
flict between the various peoples, factions, and avatars.
Share the spotlight.
When it’s your turn, don’t always look out
for your own stuff; consider actions that would add drama or
attention to someone else’s creations.
Embrace disaster.
A “bad” roll or turn of events that puts one of
your creations in jeopardy is an opportunity to deepen and enrich
the story of your world.
Stay flexible.
Be willing to adapt if your plans don’t go as hoped.
Play to find out what happens!
“Prudence is greater than fate.”
ACTION GUIDE
create MOUNTAINS
(AP 0/2/3/-)
Add a mountain range to the map, covering an area of any size. Describe anything notable
about your creations.
create RIVER
(AP 0/2/3/-)
Add a major watershed to the map, starting at its source and ending at a sea or other
body of water. Remember that rivers always find the lowest path through the landscape.
Describe anything notable about your creation.
create TERRAIN
(AP 1/2/3/-)
Choose or roll a type of
terrain
(see table on page 14) you wish to add to the map.
Then, roll 1d6 add your chosen terrain to that many different areas of the map. Each area
you add may be of any size. Describe anything notable about the areas you add.
CREATE NATURAL/ARTIFICIAL FEATURE
(AP 0/1/2/-)
Choose or roll a natural or artificial
feature
(see table on page 14) and add it to the
map. A given feature may occupy an area 1 to 10 hexes in size. Describe what makes your
creation dramatically significant.
CREATE AVATAR
(AP -/1/1/1)
When you create an Avatar, you become their Steward. An Avatar might be a hero, queen,
great monster, elemental entity, demon, or even the earthly incarnation of a god. Choose
a hex on the map as the place where your Avatar first becomes known. Describe them, or
roll on the
avatar
table (page 16) for ideas. Choose and record their starting alignment
(good,
lawful, neutral, chaotic,
or
evil),
and give them a name or basic descriptor (you can
always name them later).
do a deed
(AP -/1/1/1; +1 if you are not the Avatar’s Steward)
Choose an Avatar in play and describe a significant deed that they accomplish. They
might discover an artifact, lead an army to conquer a City, oversee the construction
of a great wonder, forge an alliance with another Avatar, or anything else you can
think of. The only requirement is that their deed be significant; the making of histo-
ry, if not legend. If you need ideas, choose or roll on the
deed
table (page 16).
The Avatar accomplishes the deed, unless doing so would impact an element of
which another player is Steward, in which case you must roll:
on a 10+,
the deed is
accomplished as described;
on a 7-9,
the deed is accomplished, but with a tradeoff of
the other player’s choosing;
on a 6-,
the deed can be accomplished, but only at great
and irreversible cost—the other player says what that is, and you must choose to
accept it or fail in accomplishing the deed.
CREATE PEOPLE
(AP -/2/3/4)
When you create a People, you become their Steward. Choose a hex on the map as their
point of origin. Choose or roll their characteristics on the
people
tables (page 17) and
alignment
(page 17). A People starts as
nascent,
the first of 4 possible levels (nascent
>
developing
>
advanced
>
transcendent).
Finally, choose a real-world language to act as a
linguistic basis for their naming of things, and give the People a name.
shift alignment
(AP -/0/0/0; +1 if you are not the People’s Steward)
Choose a People in play and shift their alignment one step (good <>
lawful
<>
neutral
<>
chaotic
<>
evil).
Explain why this change occurs.

Aggressor may claim territory according to their level, but only at great
cost—the defending player says what that is, and you must choose to accept
it or fall back without claiming defender's territory.
Aggressor claims territory according to their level, with a fictional trade-off
of the defending player’s choosing.
Aggressor is victorious and claims territory according to their level.
