I have spent much of my life exploring the Savage Coast, discovering its history and learning its secrets. I saw the effects of the Red Curse before most people knew of it-and I saw the results when the curse spread to all parts of this beautiful expanse. I have undertaken the task of creating a history of the Red Curse, from theories about its origins to descriptions of its varied effects. I will describe the history of the Inheritors, those people who have learned to manipulate the powers of the curse, and I will tell of our efforts to end the reign of the curse. I do this for the people of the Savage Coast, so that should my efforts end in failure, they might learn, and through perseverance, find a way to terminate the affliction that now dominates and diminishes this region. I will attempt to describe the nations of the coast and the peoples of those nations in order to show what the coast was like before the coming of the curse. Most importantly, I will try find a way to lift the ruby darkness from our homes.

I have been surprised many times in my extensive travels. In this journal, I have attempted to organize my thoughts, so that those who read my work might more easily benefit from this knowledge.

  • From the Savage Coast Campaign Book Part 2: Player Characters
    Savage Coast Campaign Rules for Legacy and Affliction in the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition game Forward by Trav, the author The Savage Coast was one of the most original campaign settings ever created for the Dungeons & Dragons game, and my gaming group greatly enjoyed the swashbuckling, European-style adventuring in a cursed paradise. When we decided to adopt the 3rd Edition Rules system for our gaming sessions (largely because of the new character classes and feats), we ran into an interesting problem with game balance. This document was written from the original Savage Coast documents posted on the Wizards of the Coast website, and changes were made as needed to bring the balance and order from the Savage Coast to the 3rd Edition game world. Here you will find the rules we created for Legacies, Afflictions, and other related aspects of the Savage Coast game world. It is by no means perfect, and there may be several errors throughout the document that might need correction (after all, I haven’t had a chance to test every single one of the 80 different Legacies).
