Wartorn Kingdom

An occupied nation, or one amidst a civil war, is a dubious place populated with aggressive soldiers, desperate commoners, and merciless opportunists. Adventurers journeying through this region have many social encounters, combat encounters against NPCs, and both circumstance and natural terrain exploration challenges as they navigate the country in conflict.

Terrains. Any.

Tiers. Nascent counties skirmishing against one another might merit tier 1, but when larger nations take umbrage against one another they usually merit being tier 2 or even tier 3.

Weather. 1–8 clear, 9–12 overcast, 13–16 rain, 17–19 mist, 20–25 snow. The Narrator may substitute a weather roll based on the terrain (like rolling a Lofty Mountains weather roll in a Wartorn Kingdom in a mountain range).

Journey Activities. The Busk journey activity is made with disadvantage due to the wary and suspicious nature of other travelers.
