Wildwood
|
by Thomas Knauss & Darrin Drader
Now Available!
The domains of man, elf, dwarf, goblin, and countless other
species are well documented through racial histories. Their
rise and fall from grace has made their homeworlds what they
are today, carving out a historical footnote in the vast
history of the worlds in which they reside.
But through all of this history, a haunting whisper will not
fade from memory. The legends and stories of ancestors
around the fire pits of our youth continue to haunt the
land. Too terrifying to be reality, yet bound in such
absolute truths that their existence cannot be tossed aside
easily.
Dark legends reach out across the ages to speak of a
forested land ruled over by the might of an ancient and
powerful creature. Known as Haiel, he visits the shores of
other lands to whisk away the brave and show them fear,
experience terror, and prove their worthiness and cunning.
Adventuring companies, villages, and even entire
civilizations have been swept into the Wildwood.

The few pockets of humanity scattered throughout this
untamed wilderness struggle to survive. Countless hordes of
fearsome predators and foul beasts—including the green
dragon Mastuu Dargus—freely roam through the twisted,
overgrown forests and jungles of Wildwood, preying on the
weak and unwary. Yet, concealed within the dense greenery of
this heartless domain lies a wealth of undiscovered
mysteries and limitless riches for those brave enough to
navigate the endless gauntlet of horrifying monsters and
lethal dangers. Behind it all is the harsh and cruel master
of the lands, Haiel, manipulating all of those within his
domain.
The sundered ruins of lost cities and strangely altered
patches of wilderness conceal vast and wondrous earthly
treasures as well as newfound insight on the world’s secrets
and the machinations of Haiel. Adventurers seeking to wrest
mighty artifacts from their owners and unravel the enigma of
this primordial domain must face the frightening denizens
lurking within the shattered temples and ominous thickets of
these forbidden locales. In Wildwood, one mantra reigns
supreme: “Survival of the Fittest.”
Wildwood contains more than 250 pages of material;
everything you’ll need to run or experience a Wildwood
campaign on your own. Included in the book is:
• 5 new player character races and 6 new prestige races
• New feats, equipment, weapons, armor, and magic items
• 15 mysterious wilderness areas and 7 lost civilizations
ready for exploration
• Additional rules for adjudicating pursuits and a new
special attack
• Rules for the transplantation of body parts from one
creature to another
• A 24-page adventure taking characters through the untamed
woodlands of Wildwood into one of its most recent and
unusual ruined cities.
For those of you familiar with the Oathbound
campaign setting, you’ll recognize Wildwood as the third of
the seven domains of the world. This book provides a
brand new entry-point for the world, containing everything a
new player or GM needs to enter the world for the first
time. Wildwood is a complete and standalone world that can
be made even larger with other Oathbound products.

What the Reviewers Say...
|
Wildwood is, in my own humble opinion, the best outing
in the Oathbound campaign. But I can probably
attribute this to being a big druid or ranger player when I
play myself but I found a number of instances where I was
thinking “This is a good spot to use __” and that’s the kind
of inspiration a DM looks for when budgeting cash to
prioritize purchases, well done indeed. Used in conjunction
with any of the Bastion releases in the Into the
series and other books, this can become a very tight and
exciting campaign. A-

"Wildwood does a very nice job of showing how a section of a
campaign setting should be described and detailed. Bastion
has had a slow year or so in producing books and I am hoping
that books like this are in their future. I do not mind
getting few books from a company as long as they look and
read like this one. This is just a fabulous book. 5 Stars"

Gaze Into a New World!
The harsh realm of Wildwood is known as a haven for ferocious
beasts, lost souls, and the crumbling remains of
civilizations brought from realms beyond mortal thought. Its
steward is the Feathered Fowl known as Haiel, though those
trapped within his realm have their own colorful epitaphs
for their harsh jailer.

Wildwood is a new campaign experience
