Into the Majestic Fantasy Realms: The Northern Marches

D&D Basic / OSR Supplement by Bat in the Attic Games

What if your players could shape a world that remembers them? From the frostbitten ruins of the Wild North to the magical storms of the Ring Islands, the Northern Marches await.

The Northern Marches expands Rob Conley’s Blackmarsh setting into new lands: the cold taiga and icy rivers of the Wild North, the wilderness frontier of the Southlands, the conquered Viking realm of Vasa, and the westernmost duchy of the Grand Kingdom, Northport.

Each region of the Northern Marches brims with ancient ruins, forgotten magic, and factions fighting to shape the future. The Ring Islands, the Forsaken Desert, the forest of Les Gigantov, the Great Glacier, the Black Marshes, the underwater realms of the Grey Sea, all await adventurers willing to brave their dangers and plunge into their mysteries.

Together, the Northern Marches span over 100,000 square miles, divided across four 12″ by 18″ maps overlaid with a numbered hex grid for easy reference. Its factions, characters, histories, ruins, lairs, and cultures form a rich tapestry, creating a living world that players can visit as their characters while seeking adventure.

It is a world that remembers those who stood, fought, and changed destiny.
