YALOON: A Sandbox Adventure Module

YALOON is a small sandbox setting designed using the HOME toolkit for TTRPGs. The sandbox is an unmapped backwater of a small self-governing polity ruled by a petty despot.

When Over-Queen Bhupati still lived, support from the central government allowed for roads to be constructed, maintained, and patrolled. Valuable resources flowed from the region. New settlements turned temperate rainforest into productive farmland. But that was many turns of the Wheel ago.

Today the land between the Saffron Canal and the Khazad Kush is an ungoverned wilderness.

Old alliances with the indigenous elves are forgotten. The dwarves - long struggling in this region - seek new homelands elsewhere. Goblins multiply in their dank burrows.

Into this land flee the losing side of a peasant rebellion, pursued by the determined forces of our off-screen noble. The rebels are agile and adaptable. The rajik’s myrmidon warriors are efficient and well-trained but survive at the end of a tenuous supply chain.

Meanwhile, the other factions and powers in the region continue pursuing their own goals. Whether the PCs take a side, wait to see who comes out on top, or play all factions to their own advantage is up to your Players. How this scenario resolves itself is entirely in their own hands and the luck of the dice.
