The years that kicked of the classic Swords and Sandals era were dominated by a great nautical struggle to control the four oceans of Tritonia. Others, great sailors like the one-eyed Cycladians, who would begin to chart the four mighty oceans of the world.įor over six hundred years, the Constellation Mirror has opened, each new arrival shaping the fortunes of the world. Some were terrible beasts like the giant Sledgars, terrifying giant men with mighty ice hammers. And still, at the height of summer every fiftieth year, the Mirror would blaze brightly and new creatures would step through and forge themselves a life in this brave new world. Some of the Precursor races flourished, like the Phaetorians and the Braxians. They built cities, fought, explored and settled. Through this mirror, the first races stepped. The Mirror observes and learns from these creatures but thus far has remained neutral, learning of good and evil over the years. The Constellation Mirror is a sentient wormhole that opens every half century and emits a beacon, pulling through it creatures and civilizations from other parts of the universe. Through it, the night sky could be seen, a lake of stars and galaxies. A great portal appeared, shimmering and black. Some six hundred years ago, everything changed. Native fauna and flora of various sizes roamed freely, but no creatures of any particular intellect called the planet their home.

Tritonia’s twin moons (Eoe and Uriel) make sea travel perilous – the tides are unpredictable and storms are many.įuture games in the Swords and Sandals series will introduce the other two continents of the world, Eldor Hath and Uverica.īefore the advent of the Constellation Mirror, Tritonia was a lush but mostly empty planet. To the south, the heat of the deserts keep all but the most hardy traveller at bay, and to the west and east, trackless oceans filled with a great many islands. To the north, the world is bordered by vast mountains which end in polar ice. The events of Swords and Sandals take place in Brandor. Very few who have sailed across the Cycladian Ocean in search of it have returned, and their tales remain wild and dubious.

Please feel free to use information from this tome of lore to that wikia, with my blessings. There is a Swords and Sandals wikia page online managed by some very dedicated fans. This document is an effort to improve that, and of course it will expand further as the series does. People sometimes ask me questions like ‘ Does Crusader take place before S&S 3?’, or ‘ Did the hero from S&S 1 turn into Emperor Antares’, and I find I have to stop and think about these things – because until now, the world has been pretty loosely documented and mapped out. There is, in fact, a whole world behind Swords and Sandals that was born in my mind but has started to ebb out into the greater community as the games increase in popularity. While they seem random, there is actually more to the games than first appears – those characters and locations actually have more to them. All good RPGs need a setting, a cast of characters and so on – even something as simple as the first Swords and Sandals had the island of Doomtrek, some pirates and 7 arena bosses with names like HeChaos and Wolfgang of Shackleford. Over many years of developing the Swords and Sandals series, a semblance of a story, characters and places has sprung up.
