the dnd setting I’m working on with my friend
Welcome to project kill switch a heavy wip so here’s me and my friends dark fantasy dnd world
the world of (name pending) is not a happy one it is divided into 4 eras in order they are
1-death
2-famine
3-war
4-conquest
(yes there named after the horsemen)
im responsible for era 3
the era of war is dominated by 2 factions the empire and the merchant alliance they have been fighting for longer than any man can remember and none still remember why it started
the empire
a nation of ferocious zealots they fight without fear, though unbeknownst to the masses it has a rotten core
the merchant alliance (less developed)
the heart of the alliance is in a more isolated region of the world the geography once protected them from the great famine allowing them to recover faster they are now an economic powerhouse much of their military comes from either private militia or overseas mercenaries
Meta origin (3/8/25)
so this whole thing started with me telling my friend about a loophole/ exploit in dnd 5e 2014 rules that allowed for free revives with the slightest ethical drawback of a dude having to die every time which led to what if that got weaponized which then led to what fucked up world would need to do that? This cross between Bane, big daddy and rat ogre was named the Killswitch hence the working name.
