Manusia's wilderness hazards largely
consist of haywire techs from Elysya and Hephæstis, as well as bandit
gangs and natural predators. These dangers
tend to rise and fall together in unpredictable cycles - usually
initiated by a new
wave of reanimators, which in turn displaces animals and
foments banditry via economic hardship. Chance
Rolls Manusia
modifies chance level anywhere from -2 to +2 realmwide,
depending on the current moment in the aforementioned cycle. The
high-chance periods naturally see an increase in adventuring work, so
your plot might naturally
bring the party here during the +1 or +2 times. If this isn't your plan
for the story, feel free to default to +0, or to roll for a random
modifier every half-season or so.
Selection Rolls
An unmodified selection d20 represents Manusia's
major roads, as well as areas close to a domain's larger villages and
towns. For wilderness areas close to smaller villages, on minor
roads, or within 1 mile of a major road, add +10. For wilderness areas
or rural roads between 1 and 10 miles away from a major road, add +20.
For wilderness areas more than 10 miles from a major road, add +30 or
+40, depending on whether they are closer to a major Manusian city or
to an old Alacrian city-fortress.
