| Setting. |
Frontier
is a strange jungle land far to the South-East of Bereny,
populated
by fearsome native tribes, savage jungle creatures, hideous new
monsters and
dinosaurs! Although it has been travelled to before by a
few intrepid
explorers, these have been a very few, very brief trips. It
is mostly
unexplored... and extremely dangerous! There are many reasons to
travel to
Frontier. Some go to find lost treasures so that they can
return, rich, to
Bereny. Others go for adventure and exploration. Many
choose to move to a
place where there are no laws and no rulers to tell them how to
live. Such a
life comes with a price! No laws means no protection.
What is yours is
yours only until somebody stronger than you takes it away!
Only the hard
survive in Frontier!
Getting To Frontier
To reach Frontier, travellers must first cross over 1000 miles of
terrible
wasteland, with temperatures ranging from freezing (when they
first leave) to
blistering heat. Monsters, very little food and a long and
terrible journey
make this impossible for most. Only a very few brave
adventurers, seeking to
carve out a life in the 'New World', ever make it. Those
who join the game
are assumed be some of the hardy few who have successfully
completed the
journey and have arrived at the *only* major settlement, a
village called
Bordertown.
Bordertown
Everybody who comes to Frontier arrives here first.
(Usually half-starved
and barely-alive.) It is the only major settlement in
Frontier and the only
place to receive regular supplies from Bereny. Some settle
here. Many move
on to explore, get rich, build homes... or die!
