Lands of Exile: Starter Setting Guide
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
The Lands of Exile: Starter Setting Guide is the introductory guide to the Lands of Exile setting, published by Bad Badger Games. It sets out the world of Teneris and especially the Lands of Exile of northern Caligran, told mostly from the point of view of The Empire, where the publisher's adventures take place.1
Contents
The guide moves from the general to the particular: from the laws of the universe to the structure of the Empire and finally to the city of Vansreik.1

Themes
The opening chapter names the ideas the authors want campaigns to carry:
- The most powerful god is a villain. The Dark One, creator of all reality, wants the silence of being alone in the void again, and the gods people worship are his creations who sided with mortals.
- The world is grim and realistic. Poverty, racism, injustice, class and greed are part of it, and people are shades of grey.
- Magic is rare and terrifying, feared even by its masters.
- There is black powder: cannons, pistols and flintlock rifles exist, though they are rare.
- Perspective is everything. Beliefs and histories differ with who tells them, and the book's own account follows the Empire's view.1
Publication
The same setting text forms Chapter II of Shadow Over Vansreik, the "Lands of Exile Setting Guide", which Bad Badger Games published in 2024.456 The standalone guide carries no credits page or date of its own. Its cover reuses the Desolation of Time painting of the Defiler before the ziggurats, credited to Muhammet Feyyaz.7 Desolation of Time describes the guide as freely available and asks Game Masters to read it.8
