| Setting
notes: |
The
world map of Riveria is very much based on the 1st-edition
version of the Forgotten Realms setting, except
that all the area generally north of Waterdeep and west
of the Anauroch Desert has been completely re-done.
Some city names e.g. Neverwinter, Luskan, etc. were
kept, but their locations, descriptions, etc. are not
at all as a student of the Realms would expect. Neverwinter
in particular is now so named mostly in jest by the
locals; it is usually winter there for almost half the
year, sometimes more. The realm of Vanamore and its
surrounds, visited during one adventure, lies far to
the east of the Anauroch Desert and is also my own invention.
Other places visited (Amn, Dragonspear Castle, etc.)
lie about where one might expect.
On
the overview map appearing on this site, Waterdeep lies
just off the page to the south, on the west coast.
Riveria
has two moons, Skya and Terna. Skya has a 28-day cycle,
while Terna's is 56; there are exactly 13 Skya cycles
in a solar year, thus giving a yearly calendar of 13
28-day months. New Years' Day is, in most cultures,
in the very late summer - equating to about the 1st
of September on Earth.
