Pirates of Ilveria
Pirates of Ilveria began as a Dungeons & Dragons 5e homebrew campaign. I spent a long time creating this world; developing a pantheon, inventing creation myths, drawing maps, working through the inner workings of each country, and creating NPCs to inhabit the world. It became apparent after a few sessions that I was not prepared to actually run a game myself, so we opted not to continue playing. However, the stories have continued to grow, and the world of Ilveria continues to expand.
Intro
Welcome to the world of Ilveria. A collection of small continents and islands whose livelihood is largely shaped by the seas around them.
In the last two years, the Eviscerene Empire has forsaken its alliances and made multiple aggressive expansions. Under Emperor Imagen’s rule, the Eviscerenes have annexed half of a neighboring country, declared outright war on another, expelled or enslaved a portion of their own population, and seem to have no intention of stopping.
And what’s war to a pirate? Opportunity.
Trade and plunder litter the seas, and most pirates don’t care where their payday comes from. Take what you can, give nothing back.
But as Emperor Imagen wishes to expand her control on land, she is determined to likewise control the seas. As such, she has assembled an armada specifically to go after pesky pirates. They’re known as the Order of the Sunken Skull, determined to rid the seas of thieves.
