Short and sweet
Though it only lasted six sessions, I was quite fond of this setting with its gates to many other worlds. Alas, like so many campaigns, it grew impossible to schedule, with the character of Athyra being played by four different players (a running joke emerged that she had multiple personality disorder), and eventually it fizzled out. Luckily, they did at least get to the titular Isle of Cats before we shuttered!

SETTING
The Bronze Caliphate runs for a thousand miles of coastline stretching north of the western Equatorial Desert. It is a federation ruled by an unbroken line of Bronze Dragonborn Caliphs who are devoted to the Cult of the Cat, a unifying religion with its roots of power in the mythical Isle of Cats, located some 500 miles off the coast. It is said that anyone who voyages there is doomed to forget himself and turn into a Tabaxi.
Crusaders from the North
Beyond the northern frontier of the Bronze Caliphate is Oropan, a theocratic kingdom of monotheistic zealots devoted to Deem constantly sending crusaders southward to try and seize the capital city of Primovia. War is a constant of the northern frontier.
Origins
We begin in the capital city of Primovia, situated on the westernmost point of the caliphate’s thousand-mile coastline. It is a cosmopolitan city with a quasi Indian/middle-eastern flavour. The Universato Ultimato is home to many wizards and includes a dock on its clock tower for skyships which sometimes come to visit from the Skyrealms far above. Just like any great metropolis, Primovia has a powerful Thieves Guild and a thriving black market in spite of being an ostensibly religious and orderly city.
Anyone of any race or class may be found, so there are no restrictions on what you can play, pending DM approval.
