KoN (Kingdoms of Novitas) is a Live-Action Roleplaying Game located in Central New York. The setting takes place in a small trade town of Maplewood at the heart of the Freelands. It is the year 1599 and tension between neighboring countries grow between each other and old sparks rekindle. The seven Septon gods reign over the magical world in opposition to the Dark Three while the Great Dragon, Draconus, slumbers peacefully between them. Creatures lurk around every corner; orcs swarm from the hills during the day while the hordes of undead reap the land of life during the night. Many come far and wide to start life anew in Maplewood, in search of adventure or riches.
The lands around the Freelands are facets of a long-standing history between kingdoms. To the North we have the Kingdom of Gersh, a glacial empire inhabited by the sinister Snow Goblins. Also are the Dellin Tribesmen, often followers of Grak the Destroyer; one of the Dark Three. On either sides of the continent, at the North West and North East ends are Elven kingdoms known as the Great Forest and Evenandra. They are the ends of a spectrum of elves which range between the wild free-running elves of the West and the noble high-elves of the East. At the South West corner of the world, deep underground in interwoven caverns, the Terran kingdom resides. Earthkin live in the depths of these mountainous expanses, mining and crafting riches beyond your imagination. Even their very skin holds remnants of their gem-filled ancestry. East of Terra is Civen, due South of the Freelands. It is the largest human empire and contains a rigid militaristic society whose imperialistic ways have brewed war with the South Eastern Theocracy of Vlean. The great churches of Vleanoa rally paladins and Septons to their cause as they often rise to arms against the Civen war-force.
This is the world we live in. It is a constant struggle to maintain order when all around you tumbles into chaos. Whether it be the high-standing nobility, the rugged thieves and mercenaries, the righteous Septons, or all traders and merchants in between… all have a place in Novitas; a purpose. Will you join the ranks of adventurers who reside in Maplewood? Will you survive in this dangerous world? Will you be the next legend so many bards sing about? Will you stand alone against an onslaught of undead to save your fellow brethren? Who will you be in this world of endless possibilities.
