[edit] Oa

Oa (Ohw-uh)is a home brew campaign setting that is intended to be built-upon by Dungeon Masters to use as a blank slate. The amount of open land in this setting is present to accommodate this need. The playable races are kept to a bare minimum to allow for simplicity and to avoid over-crowding the campaign from the start with too many options. It is important to note that nationality plays a large role in Oa as different nations possess different policies in terms of health, culture, and justice. Oa is intended to simulate an entire world, with room to spare. If you feel like using this setting, feel free to do so, and please do not hesitate to add to it, so long as your alteration resides within the confines of your own campaign.

[edit] Project Goal

The primary goal of this project is to create a simple, easy-to-understand, and accessible Campaign Setting that is not only stable and in-depth, but has room for the Dungeon Master to add to it as he or she pleases without worrying about over-crowding the map.

[edit] World Map

[edit] Planetary Data

Equatorial Circumference: ~24,500 Miles (~39428.928 Kilometers)
Radius: ~3,899.3 Miles (~6275.3 Kilometers)
Acceleration due to Gravity: 32.1522 feet/(s^2) (9.8 m/(s^2)) NOTE: While the actual acceleration due to gravity
would be equal to 10.12 m/(s^2) for convenience sake it is advised to just use earth's gravitational acceleration
so as to maintain the consistency of the calculated battle tables.
Distance from Sun: 1 AU
Rotational period: ~24 hours
Revolutionary period: 365.25 days
Area of Tropical Region: ~85,750,000 square miles

[edit] Playable Races

Other races can be played but please note that their presence will be extraordinarily rare and will have to be incorporated into their character's story. It is inadvisable to play a character race that is not on this list and to not explain it whatsoever as it will most likely damage the campaign setting as a whole.

[edit] Predominant Races

These are races that are populous enough to be declared significant to Oa's balance of power.

[edit] Technology Level

Pre-gunpower, late medieval
If guns are to be introduced, then it would be completely alien technology to just about 99.999999% of the people in Oa. Please have the story reflect such.
Sea-travel: Magic and astronomy are used for navigation around coastlines, most ships are comparable to the size of Spanish Caravels with some exceptions. Generally, anything larger is either Gnomeish, Dwarvish, or bizarre.

[edit] Deities

The Deities in this campaign setting are immortal, indestructible, and invulnerable. It is irrelevant if a deity has stats in a published book, by default the deities are invincible in this campaign setting. They do not ever appear on the mortal plain of existence and have never needed to before. None of them are cited in being responsible for creation of Oa, they are instead said to have made contact with the realm of Oa as outsiders hundreds of thousands of years ago. Outsiders are fabulously rare, perhaps considering Oa as a destination in once every ten thousand years, however there are still pocket settlements made 'closer' to Oa than to other places but even they are considered significantly remote relatively speaking. Oa is meant to be a standard campaign setting with as little confusing theology and lore as possible. Therefore the list of deities for this realm is static, they cannot die, and new deities do not enter the mix. If other settings are to be bridged to this setting, then Oa is seen as minor protectorate in terms of priorities for the deities regardless of alignment. In terms of spiritual resources and motivation, Oa is considered a far off dimension not worth taking the trouble to travel all the way to in order to warrant sustained attention. The deities may help out the most devout of their worshipers in Oa, but few else.

Table: Deities of Oa by alignment and by power level
	Lawful Good	Neutral Good	Chaotic Good	Lawful Neutral	True Neutral	Chaotic Neutral	Lawful Evil	Neutral Evil	Chaotic Evil
Major Deity	Moradin	Pelor	Corellon Larethian	Garl Glittergold	Boccob	Yondalla	Wee Jas	Nerull	Gruumsh
Minor Deity	Heironeous	Ehlonna	Kord	Saint Cuthbert	Obad-Hai	Olidammara	Hextor	N/A	Erythnul
Avatar	Heironeous	N/A	N/A	Saint Cuthbert	N/A	N/A	Hextor	Vecna	N/A

In general, divine power is not very present in Oa's history. What is much more present is fundamentalist interpretation of the use of divine power. Generally Clerics and Paladins who act in the spirit of their chosen deity (Diatris included) receive divine assistance. However, it is commonly rumored that high priests tend not to use their power only because they have broken alignment and no longer have it, but such talk is commonly cast down as mere rumors.

[edit] Travel and Scale

Oa is a very large world. This is by design as its amount of space is intended to provide a tabula rasa for DM's looking for a place to put their dungeon and campaign ideas. That being said, travel on Oa takes a while as the distances between most major cities is quite significant.

Table: Travel Speeds
Method:	Travel Distance (miles):	Travel Range (days)	Miles per day:	Encounter Chance:
Walking	1d300	15	20	10%
Light horse/mount	2d300	20	30	20%
Heavy horse/mount	3d300	18	50	30%
Carriage/Cart (roads only)	4d300	20	60	40%
Sailboat (small)	2d300	6	110	20%
Sailboat (large)	4d300	12	100	40%
Ship	8d300	20	120	80%

[edit] Range

The range of each means of transportation determines how many days can elapse before the rations for that method's number of d300 run out. It is possible to prepare extra rations in advance and it is also possible to go hunting or fishing to acquire more food.

[edit] Encounters

At the end of the distance determined by the travel method's range (i.e. 1d300 etc.), a mandatory random encounter occurs. It need not be combat, but it can be.

Encounters can occur within the rolled travel distance if the DM rolls 1d100 for every 300 miles that the party travels. If the DM rolls higher than the encounter chance, then nothing occurs. If the DM rolls lower than the encounter chance, then a random encounter happens. This is based on how high of a profile the travel method is in terms of how noticeable and bulky it may be.

The reason for encounter chances is to make the presence of monsters and special circumstances more special and to stick out more on the party's journey. If monsters are constantly attacking every single day for every ten miles that the party travels, then they will quickly lose their luster and it would beg the question: If monsters are such a frequent problem on the roads of this nation then how does the nation's economy function?

[edit] Alternative Travel Methods

For any other means of travel that is not on the table above. Have the DM assign however many d300 that they deem appropriate and research how fast the means of travel is in terms of miles per hour. That should help in assigning travel speeds.

[edit] Nationalities

There are nine different nations in the world of Oa. Each possessing a heterogeneous population. Culture, Creed, and government vary widely between nations. Eight of the nine nations are not categorizable with a single alignment, as there is too much variation amid the population to make a judgement on that. However, it is widely agreed that just about everyone and everything that inhabits Kulnaku is mostly evil. This means that if your character is any sort of evil, and they are drow, then it is very likely that they either were born in Kulnaku and live there now, or came from there whether as a refugee or by lineage.

[edit] National Rankings

This is how the different nations of Oa stack up against each other at a glance.

Table: Population Rankings
Name	Population	Ranking
Kulnaku	~45,000,000,000	1

Aetoth	~23,500,000	9

[edit] Aetoth

(Eh-ta-th)
adj: Aetothan

The ethnic dumping ground of Thollon and Diatris. Aetoth was founded by "undesireables" who were deported from neighboring kingdoms to free up jobs for humans. Half-breeds and roudy elves were arrested and shipped to the continent of Aetoth to forage for themselves. Currently they are treated with high regard by the Elves, Gnomes, and to some small degree the Dwarves as Aetoth provides a very nice foot-hold position on Kulnaku, should an invasion ever prove necessary again.

(Eh-mahn)
(adj: Amonese)

The homeland of all elves on Oa, Amon is the pinnacle of magical civilization. While mostly hosting elves and half elves, all races are welcome here as the Amonese prefer to live in peace and harmony rather than bicker over trades and contest in combat. Having said this, they are not a feeble people and can be a terrible force to be reckoned with if provoked or threatened. They tend to live in settlements that do as little damage to the environment around them as possible and prefer studying magic and philosophy to other, more rambunctious activities.

[edit] Diatris

(Die-at-triss)
(adj: Diatrien)

The self-proclaimed "Kingdom of Heaven", Diatris is a beautiful country with a history even longer than that of Thollon by at least 800 years. They are strict, fundamentalist worshipers of Pelor and Heironeous. Any attempts to question or undermine the will of the clergy or monarchy is met with public humiliation and usually execution. They are known for their high-quality metal wears, second only to that of the dwarves. But they are infamous for their ruthless nature towards anyone who disbelieves in their religion. They see themselves as pilgrims to an evil world that they must purify in order to make it holy, and they have crusaded against the lands of Kulnaku since before anyone (except the elves) can remember. Often being blamed as the kingdom that helped make Kulnaku the evil nation that it is today through hatred, torture, pillaging, and mass-executions of the natives in Diatris' "purges". If Kulnaku were to attack anyone, it would be Diatris, and it would be an outright extermination.

[edit] Ellante

(Elle-ahn-tay)
(adj. Ellantan)

The technological capital of the world, as claimed by noted scholars, Ellante is the homeland of halflings and of gnomes. However, there was a war 4,000 years ago in which the gnomes took over and re-established the government into a capitalistic republic, displacing millions of halflings and subjugating even more. To this day, there is a fierce rivalry between gnomes and halflings and stems from the ancient war. Gnomes are usually criticized for being stuck-up and tricky whereas Halflings are said to be thieving and also tricky. Either way, neither side truly trusts the other. Despite racial tensions, Ellante is home to some of the most advanced research centers in Oa's history. It is the hotspot for would-be wizards as the best magical academies are located in Ellante.

[edit] Leadership

Government: Corporate Republic
- The government of Ellante is overtly run by major corporations that run monopolies on world-wide ventures that may extend from trade all the way to mercenary work. Power is vied for between corporations like feudal houses, but war is exceptionally rare as no one likes to lose an investment as large as living capital (which is to say that is how they see things).
Power Acquisition: Rising up through the ranks in a corporation or being born into money and buying your way there.

[edit] Culture

Women's Rights: Women are considered just as capable as men are in most faculties and are generally considered equal. Typically, gnomes don't care for gender politics and consider both genders equal simply because they view gender as something unilaterally irrelevant compared to individual talent.
Slave-labor: Used to pay off debts as indentured servitude. Drow may be slaves if found guilty of crime.
Magic: Magic is intensively studied and used wherever convienient. If technology would provide a simpler means of solving a problem then technology would be used instead, the Ellantans prefer to solve problems rather than quibble about legitimacy.
Education: children between the ages of 10 and 40 go to an academy. The first 15 years are spent exploring what their talents are, and then the second 15 years are spent developing those talents.
Legal: Laws are enacted by a general council established by the top 13 most dominant corporations in the nation.

[edit] Health

Infant mortality rate: 25%
Dental health: Outstanding, the best in Oa
Plague control: Scientists, doctors, and healers are all mobilized into a task force to address the problem.

[edit] Kulnaku

(Col-nah-koo)
(adj: Kulnakan)

The sworn enemy of Diatris, Kulnaku is the supposed "land of evil". Populated mostly by Drow, thousands of years of genocide inflicted on them by Diatrien raids have caused for their society to become hateful and brooding towards revenge against Diatris. A terribly sad story of a once peaceful people becomming the nightmare they were once thought to be, Kulnaku is imfamous for dealings with devils, demons, dragons, and all other manners of evil creatures, all in the name of exterminating the Diatriens and anyone who stands to defend them. Some drow and other races seek to escape Kulnaku for sanctuary and the few that survive usually end up in Aetoth. Evil festers in Kulnaku, and it has been waiting many years for its chance to strike back at the supposedly "good" nation of Diatris.

[edit] Lavoya

(Luh-voy-uh)
(adj. Lavoyan)

The Crossroads of the Northern part of the Eastern Continent, Lavoya is a place of cultural splendor and extensive wealth. The best analogy for human comparison would be renaissance Italy, as Lavoya represents an amalgam of Elven, Dwarven, and Gnomish cultures. Instead of tolerance and harmony being emphasized, trace and research are the dominant priorities as Dwarves, Halflings, and Gnomes are the most populous of races in Lavoya. Some of the most brilliant minds study in Lavoya as its central location makes it ideal for the sharing of information and research. However, just across the sea the dreaded land of Kulnaku threatens to invade every day of every year, and so Lavoya is constantly depending on its neighbors for protection in case the unthinkable happens and Kulnaku goes to war with the world once again.

(Ray-more)
(adj: Ramoran)

The tropical continent of Ramor is home to Oa's widest selection of races. Just about any race can be found living in their sweltering hot but nevertheless beautiful cities. The Ramorans are mostly a peaceful people who are mostly interested in nature and natural beauty instead of war and politics. Usually seen as the daughter nation to Amon, Ramor is a vast continent populated mostly with elves but that majority is only such by a small margin. Being located so close to the vast, uncharted archipelago to the north and east, Ramor is known to have troubles with pirates sailing around their shores. Nevertheless, Ramor is a prosperous and peaceful nation that welcomes outsiders so long as they sign an oath to abide and obey the local laws while they stay. In short, Ramor is the tourist destination of Oa for most travel-interested people as its scenic jungles and gorgeous landscapes are bar none the most amazing in the world.

[edit] Thollon

(Th-ol-ahn)
(adj: Thollon)

Also known as "The Kingdom of the Roaring Sea", Thollon is an ancient human kingdom with a history spanning over 2,000 years. Their royal lineage has almost never been broken, a fact that they are quite proud of. Though most scholars would cast doubt upon this in casual conversation with people they trust secrets to. They are a secular and proud people, looking down on stubborn religious traditions that make no sense, and often mocking their northern neighbor: Diatris for their fervent religious practices. This has led to a few small wars in the past, but by and large Diatris and Thollon stay at peace with one another knowing that taking care and occupying another part of the continent would be a humungous loss on their own fiscal parts.

[edit] Vodis

(Voh-diss)
(adj. Vodian)

The homeland of the Dwarves, this mountainous and densely vegetated region of Oa is covered in harsh and intense jungles that have served the Dwarves well over the centuries for their combat training. Living mostly in vast, underground cities that stretch so far into the planet that most people have forgotten some of the deeper, older sections. Nevertheless these older sections of the cities of Vodis are fraught with peril and viciously confusing traps in case in invasion force from Kulnaku ever tried to tunnel their way in. The Dwarves are some of the finest craftsmen in Oa, and the absolute best smiths, gem-cutters, architects, and above all else...brew-masters.

[edit] Culture

Women's Rights: Women are in charge of the home and representative of their sect of their individual clan and all affairs and decisions relevant to it. Men are in charge of the family, protection, and finance. There isn't much dispute about this division except for it causes most husbands to frequent the local taverns more often.
- Note: If a man's family has at least eight children, he may take a second wife to help assist the first wife. The second wife is part of the family and acts as a sort of Vice-representative to the first wife. Generally, the second wife is usually much younger than the first in case the female dies and usually inherits the matron-status during middle age. The maximum number of wives permitted is still caught up in committee for debate after some 700 years.
Slave-Labor: Men only, and only if they are in debt to the king or to the head of their clan. Penalty labor for criminals is not considered slavery, technically.
Magic: Believed to be very, very useful and handy in tough situations. The common idea towards magic is that it's only dangerous to idiots and people who don't know they are idiots.
Education: Mandatory for all children, separated by gender. Organized into tiers of skill-level, there are 40 in total with 40 being the highest and most difficult. One graduates to the next tier based on ability, not age. By 40 years of age, you are removed from the school and forced into a job if you do not already have one.
Legal:
- Coded Laws made by Royal decree and Judicial consensus
- Judges hold trials in courthouses in each major city and town.
- Trials function with a Jury of 21 randomly selected jurors, and a judge.
- For murder and capital offenses, there is a tribunal of three judges and three juries of 21.
- One is considered innocent until proven guilty.
- The penalty for Murder and theft of objects worth equal to and over 1000 pp is Death by decapitation.
- The most common penalty is not just incarceration but is also being enlisted to do community service for an extensive amount of time (usually in groups of 2 years)
  - Jobs include but are not limited to:
    - Sewage duty
    - Furnace stoking/cleaning
    - Street sweeping
    - Trap inspector
    - Ventilation maintenance
    - Pest control
    - Road-building

[edit] Health

Infant mortality rate: 25%
