World Building

One of the great things to come out of our twenty-fifth anniversary has been a new look at old characters. Recently, Timothy returned to a long-dormant Druid Cycle hero named Scyld (Hwaet! Take notice, Beowulf fans!), who is soon to set out on a lengthy expedition to uncharted waters. His quest is to rescue the  refugees of a natural disaster that occurred a couple of years ago in the Druid Cycle world, but it's mainly an excuse for me to expand the map of this campaign setting. Scyld and his companions are going to visit a number of heretofore unexplored islands, but their ultimate destination will be an entirely new continent. The travelers will establish a settlement there and try to build a stable, long-term community. Lofty ambitions indeed for a character who was sitting on the shelf, so to speak, just a couple of months ago. I encourage the rest of the Front Porch crew to look back on your old characters and see what new life we can breathe into them!
