The world is ending. The gods are angry. The people demand blood.
Welcome to the Genesis Campaign Setting, a prehistoric world steeped in violence and myth. The Watchers—powerful beings meant to guide the world—have instead fallen in love with it, corrupting their mission. From their unions were born gods who now battle their progenitors, the Titans, carving the world into regions ruled by clashing pantheons of deities. Dragons and dinosaurs roam the land, devouring mixed-blood races, while a looming prophecy warns of a coming flood that will drown the world in death.
The world is young, only a few centuries beyond its first millennium. Magic surges wild and untamed, and mortals are fierce and primal, hardened by the brutal landscape. The forces of good and evil wage constant war, with Paradise, Sheol, Elysium, and Valhalla existing as physical realms. Legends walk the earth, from the six-fingered frost giant Thor, wielding his mighty hammer Mjollnir, to Hercules, a Nephilim of mixed blood, and Lotan, a fire-breathing leviathan.
A Note on Historical and Religious Inspiration:
Have you ever wondered if the myths of ancient cultures were rooted in fact? What might the pre-flood, biblical world look like if it were shaped by texts such as the Book of Enoch and the Epic of Gilgamesh? As a student of religious studies, I recognize that this campaign is not a literal interpretation of any biblical or mythological tradition. However, it is written with a “What if?” mindset.
