Used World

The world is old, and the civilizations have been around for countless generations. Nothing appears old though, and few buildings are worn down or look aged. The primary reason behind this is that lands are always changing ownership, and the new masters of these lands frequently tear down anything that reminds them of the previous owner.

Few castles are more then a few generations old, and border towers are never over fifty years old. The oldest buildings around are generally family houses, lived in from generation to generation. There are exceptions to these common practices.

Near the center of the continent is an old castle. This is a place where lords come to meet frequently, and plots are created. The castle sits on a small square of neutral territory. No one knows who built it, and is poorly maintained.

Some wanderers tell stories about old castles that house terrible spirits in the Wild Lands, but no one takes them seriously.
