Wait, what happened to Shin-Yi? Where am I supposed to lЫve now? You're a hobo now :D
I hope for Saruman's help in adding new races and added folklore - keep hoping, keep hoping... Just kidding, I'll post more details about some of them soon. Magnus, maybe we should keep Shin-Yi, people like it, and there won't be any problems with the folklore... :smile12:

I wrote a lot, but anyone interested in the fate of the RPG must read this.
Gentlemen, what if we make Magnus's world the world of Xeen, but only after the cataclysm?
Plot:
Magnus, who originally fled to Axeot, was wounded by Emilia Knightheaven and disappeared from the world stage for many decades. Later, he opens a portal back to Xeen and founds his own Empire. Along with him comes the Velvet-Mask-Wearer, the high lord of the newly established Dark Brotherhood. No one had seen him without the mask, and until recently, only the most chosen guessed at his existence. In recent years, the confrontation shifted into a low-intensity war between the Empire and the DB, but in 377 AC (after cataclysm), Emperor Magnus is stabbed in the square by one of the Dark Brotherhood assassins. As a result of the clash, several hundred assassins, dozens of bodyguards and ministers, and the emperor himself are killed. A bit later, detachments directed by regent Leonard Irongriffin attack Night Fang, the capital of the Dark Brotherhood in the lands of Inferno, and slaughter the entire ruling elite. The Velvet-Mask-Wearer could not be found, as expected... After the Slaughter of Lords, as these events were later called, both the Empire and the Dark Brotherhood fall to pieces. They have no central leaders, no central authority, and essentially no one to fight, as the enemy already has plenty of problems... People remember their loyalty to the Celestial Light and the Inquisition; elves remember old grudges against humans from the Wood Wars. Demons remember their thirst for destruction; dark elves remember their dislike for light elves and demons. Mages, led by the Dragon Lord, who attained immortality in an obscure way after the Cataclysm, once again turn their lands, once desert and lifeless, into snowy cliffs. Gradually, the states of the witches of the southern swamps—former Tatalia, the Barbarian Wastes, and the lands of the elemental lords of Conflix—gain strength. Rumors wander the world that Emperor Magnus did not die, but has gone into hiding again, that he moved to another world and is waiting for the moment to return. In the far northern lands, a passage to another world has been found, almost completely filled with water. After the war of the Purging Union, a state of vampires and werewolves—the Order of the Black Hand—is formed. Far to the east, hordes of nomads gather. Merchants speak of new continents with unexplored lands: Shin-Yi, the Land of Sky-And-Sun. The Velvet-Mask-Wearer weaves intrigues. A new dawn of a new continent begins.
Goals:
A new item is introduced for each character: citizenship. Each country has its own goals, from a straightforward Elgariol-demonic war to multi-step intrigues within the Order. After solving a problem of global scale, the hero, the country, and in some cases other heroes of that country receive a large bonus. Suppose Elgariol takes over Inferno; now the territory where Elgariol heroes can be without punishment increases, the number of taverns, shops, settlements, etc., also increases, and crime decreases (the territory is larger, criminals move to new places where there are no clear Elgariol laws yet). For the Infernalists, it's the opposite. However, a guerrilla war may break out in the new territories, greedy feudals will start fighting over the spoils, and it may turn out that it's unclear what is better.
Global Goal:
The global goal is to find out who the Velvet-Mask-Wearer is. As the political situation changes, it will become clear who this is. Once his identity is established and his plan is ruined (or ends in triumph), RPG2 will conclude.
Magnus:
Magnus can, as he wishes, either go "off-screen of the RPG," or lead Brakadia, or play an incognito emperor, wandering through towns and villages; in this case, he is one of the key figures of the intrigue.
Velvet-Mask-Wearer:
I have three figures for the candidacy of the Velvet-Mask-Wearer. If everyone likes my concept, Magnus and I will determine him more precisely via PM. At the moments when the Velvet-Mask-Wearer appears in the RPG, I will play him.
And also, I think we should make a world map so that cities don't just appear out of thin air. Or at least strictly designate the locations of major cities and dungeons.
And the logical conclusion from this—Magnus, are you taking me on the team? For the position of conceptual GM for global quests and the development of folklore for the races.

I completely forgot! Mulnhorad can also be inserted. A land of river and sand in the east of the new continent. General style - Ancient Egypt.
