Node C -12 Snow White[]
In this world it's 1650 and Europe is divided among 10,000 small, fairy tale kingdoms.
Politically these guys are all over the place from libertarian minarchy to oppressive police states
But they're generally pretty easy going. Trade flows.
This strange devolution includes North America, the North American continent is speckled with native kingdoms - there is trade, pioneered by European fishermen, and occasional adventurers and treasure hunters.
Boston and New Amsterdam are european style cities that exist in border areas between Native Kingdoms and play them off agains each other. The Epidemics didn't hit the Americas as hard here as they did in our history, so the native kingdoms traded with europeans and technology has equalized. There are scattered minorities of fantasy races in this world, but they're isolated and hidden. Mostly Dwarves.
There's magic in this world, but it's ritualized and slow. You must pay a heavy price to wield it here.
The lascaux caves open in a french flavored fantasy kingdom where a Witch searches for the lost heir to the throne, in order to do her in. In a deep forest nearby, Snow White is being housed by by 7 dwarves, who make their living mining in the deep caves.
Somewhere else, Cinderella sleeps awaiting her True Love. All the disney kingdoms are here but with a realistic gloss.
Alert players may realize that Snow White and Cinderlla have been swapped, ethnically between German and French.
The town nearby the cave is Montignac, Dordogne, about 3,000 people.
The big city nearby is Brive-la-Gaillarde, a town of about 49,000 people.
Malificent, the Evil Queen of the local Country is a Mellor. She's been learning the low mana magic, and has her Kingdon set up to support her.
In this world there are Magic Weapons that will slay a shapechanger. Malificent funds deniable evil adventuring parties to seek these out. Her guards are dedicated soldiers and good at it. Her Huntsmen are expert trackers and killers. Her adventurers range from bad news to evil-scary.
