In this section you will
• generate the terrain, giving life to all hexes
• assign a season and schedule weather events
• decorate the terrain with points of interest and
dungeons

• give settlements their characteristics, including
local history, economic activity, governance,

coastline. For this, you may consider that settlements
usually tend to be around bodies of water such as lakes,
coastlines, or rivers. Also, you may choose to add roads
connecting settlements.

Religion: Cults and Deities
Since there’s no overarching religious institution; local
orders, national and regional religious organisations, as
well as countless variants of the same beliefs can be
encountered. Below; you may find some examples of the
main lines of faith which are more mainstream throughout
the world, although the list is far from complete.
Most cults are local and location-oriented; meaning that
their prominence and prevalence are relative to the
distance one stands to the religious centre (usually also the
point of origin for the belief) of the cult. Depending on the
size of the settlement it is originated, the influence of a
cult varies. For a village-like settlement (meaning it’s a
minor deity or a newly-established faith, or a group of
heretics), its main area of influence is the surrounding six
hexes, besides the religious centre. (approximately 455
km2). For town-like settlements, (Altar, or equivalent) this
includes the second ring of hexes, in addition to the
neighbouring hexes, (1235 km 2). And if its centre is a city-
like dwelling, its area of influence a third, outer ring of
hexes.

Cult of Heavenly Mother (Venus)
The followers of this cult believe in a heavenly mother
who nurtures the earth through fertility in animals and
plants alike, through sex, beauty, and art, and on occasion
punishes through war and famine, serving as the heavenly
judge.
The clergy of this cult exclusively consists of women,
who, on special occasions such as holy days, offer sacred
sex to believers, in addition to their routine sacred
prostitution in exchange for donations to the temple.
If a temple-member gets pregnant during sacred sex
and gives birth to a girl, she reaches priesthood. And if she
gives birth to a boy, she is cast out of the temple to serve
as a wandering servant of the Heavenly Mother, providing
healing and midwifery services as well as priestly to the
believers.

Cult of the Plough (Saturn)
The followers of this cult believe that the knowledge of
agriculture, upon which civilization is built, stems from
their deity, whose domain later on expanded to include
law, hunting, scribes and eventually war.
Their deity is usually depicted as a warrior-like harvester
with a scythe (sometimes in the act of slaying a beast), the
priests of the cult are known for offering sacrifices in the
form of bodily mutilations. Most priests lack a finger or
two (never a thumb, though), while higher ordering ones
(usually high priest of a temple) lack a hand, or even a
limb.
The worship usually includes burnt offerings in the
form of ox, sheep, lamb in addition to grain and bread.
Oaths sworn by believers are also a part of the common
practices; believers bargaining sacrifices (including body
parts) for the fulfilment of their wishes. Breaking an oath
would result in the banishment of the oathbreaker.

world, constructed over the dead body of the snake-

Cult of the Judge (Sun)

Although it is open for debate if he is the oldest or just
one of the older gods, the followers of this cult are certain
that their deity is the supreme god –ruler among its
equals, and the overseer of life under heavens, as his role
indicates that he has the final say. As the judge of rulers,
he is seen as the god of justice, morality, law and truth.
The clergy of this cult serve as judges where the
authority is granted to them by the ruler, and carry a short
sword as a symbol of their power. Yet, the sword is only for
ceremonial reasons and is never used –which is taboo.
This also symbolises the rational way against the instinct.
Any priest who draws his sword is stripped of all
authorities and banished.
