All right, bitches, this is happening.

Ravenholm
The Ravenholm Freeholds are a small land (named for the flocks of ravens that populate it), the majority of which is a low, flat valley set between the Hillsfolk Hills and the Mountains of Madness. Besides being caught between the hill-land barbarians and the gibbering insanities that emerge from the forbidden peaks, it is also the crossroads between the Tsars' lands, the restive provinces of the Imperium, and an ancient but troubled knightly theocracy to the south. Wars have been fought over Ravenholm for generations, and possession of the vale has passed between these three kingdoms time and again.
20 years ago, armies from the three warring states clashed in the valley. Caught between them was a mercenary company lead by the daughter of a Lord of Necropolis. Upon her death, he cursed the armies in the valley with eternal war. Each day, they fight to the last man, slaying each other in brutal battle until one is left standing. The next morning, as the sun rises over the fields, the slain soldiers return to a kind of half-life, shuffle into ranks, and fight their battles over once again.
The farmers and shepherds have taken refuge in the ancient and extensive underground complex carved into the bedrock beneath the valley. At one time these caverns and tunnels had been a refuge from the formless nightmares that came down from the peaks, but they serve equally well to protect the Freeholders from the zombie warriors ceaselessly marching across their fallow and trampled fields. Now the farmers tend mushroom crops in the dim light of bioluminescent mosses and fish on the shores of midnight seas far beneath the once beautiful fields and gardens they had claimed as their home. Life in the Cursed Vale is hard, but never slow or boring.
There are great treasures known to be buried in the deeps, along with equally great threats. Adventurers can easily buy maps to the darkened passages, as the Freeholders claim but a small part of them for their settlements. They can equally find hire as pathfinders, mapping those same tunnels, as monster hunters, or as couriers between the settlements. The various elected Councils of the settlements are, by and large, honest and quick-paying.
I'd like Ninja Country, considering I just published Bushi d6.
This thread has possibilities.
For the record I'm waiting to just take whatever doesn't get drafted by someone else first.
I'm rather partial to Tiger-Headed Opium Nightmare myself.
edit: Oh silly me. I thought this was where you wanted to LIVE. Oops!
:teehee:
I'm up for this. Where do I get?
Take your pick, first come, first served.
