Months ago, several ideas I have ruminated on for years (nobility literally descended from dragons, female viking warriors literally descended from giants, a polluted landscape filled with twisted monsters, hex crawls, megadungeons) coalesced into a new idea. Months of brainstorming has now arrived at this site.
In the wake of the mutually genocidal war between the giants and the dragons, the Blood Wastes arose. The land churned and boiled. Cities were swallowed beneath the earth only to reappear hundreds of miles distant. Degenerate monsters born from the toxic mix of antagonistic hemes poured across the land. The lesser races left behind absorbed the power of their giant and dragon masters and claimed a novel birthright as the giantkin and dragonborn. The powerful and foolhardy among these heirs now plumb the ancient ruins that dot the Borderlands and the truly ambitious venture into the Wastes proper in search of the bloodstone that will unlock more of the nascent power of their forebearers.
This campaign will center around a megadungeon in the Borderlands with eventual progression to wilderness adventure and hex crawling in the Wastes. The PCs are giantkin and dragonborn. They are better, faster, smarter, stronger than normal mortals as a first inheritance of their birthright. Through experience and the use of bloodstone, they can unlock even more of the fantastic abilities originally parsed by their giant and dragon ancestors.
