P L ACES OF P OW ER : T IBOL -K ORRIN
The Strait of Tibol-Korrin provides seafaring merchants a relatively safe and easy way to reach the otherwise hard-to-reach, landlocked
rival baronies of Tibol and Korrin. A decade ago, the strategically important strait became the focal point of a war between the two rival
baronies when a dispute over equitable distribution of tariffs dramatically escalated when a Tibolian ship mysteriously sank (allegedly
through the actions of Korrin saboteurs). The war brought shipping through the strait to a halt, as no captains dared to venture into range
of the many siege weapons covering the strait and its approaches. A recent truce borne of economic necessity, and a blossoming romance
between opposing, high-ranking commanders, allows ships to once again safely traverse the strait. However, unbeknownst to almost all,
the fighting dislodged ancient and dark relics, portending the return of things best left forgotten.

Designed for use with the 5th edition of the world’s most popular roleplaying game.
