Setting

The PW setting is a "Neo-Post-Medieval Fantasy" world in a Post-Apocalyptic backdrop. The characters are typically introduced to the realm of Bastion, the many miles high plateau which serves as the earthen ark of The Peoples, sealed inside their domed environment against a magical/nuclear catastrophe which destroyed Home^. The deadly residue of this fallout - Miasma - coated the world, piling up high around Bastion's force dome and sealing it off from a soon forgotten world. Ten thousand years later, the Miasma has cleared and there's a mad scramble to see what's going on outside of Bastion. But Bastion is HUGE! The amount of interaction and activity going on in the 100+ strata realm is incredible; there's just as much room for adventure as without.

The Poisoned World was designed as the nuclear setting for the community Poisoned World Server which is powered by Discord. Designed for multiple ongoing adventures tied thematically to the PW story, these demands spurned the creative environment.

Within few limits, players can be virtually anything their hearts desire, especially if they invest in the story-lore of the PW, which is one of the reasons we created this Wiki. OK, well, more actually: literally anything... there's nothing to say that some enterprising clan of Lunarians didn't create their own space ship and go out galavanting through the galaxy and are now returning with a space armada. Ten thousand years is a LONG time.

Spread over two years and dozens of adventure sessions, numerous storylines and plot(hook)s are developing and we believe that this Wiki will be an excellent way to track and access these multiple unfolding player-driven sagas.
