The world of Braosa

Hand-drawn map of the world of Braosa

Long before the tools, there was a world. Braosa was built at real tables over years: empires, faiths, languages and wars that players lived through and changed.

Its stories are being written down now, as fiction, lore books and an open wiki for players.
