In keeping with the tenants of Dungeon World I am fighting my natural urge to start building a world and populating it with 'Big Bads' for the players to deal with.
What I have planned is a general story. This world is composed of seven realms, or areas, or kingdoms, six of which are not defined in any detail, the seventh has one detail...The Dark Wood. This is a region of unexplored wood that the people of the nearby village claim is haunted and dangerous, but by why and/or what makes The Dark Wood dangerous is up in the air right now.
The other elements we know is that there was an Oracle, who predicted an end to the peaceful times, but was vague on what those signs mean. There are seven sages who think they have a bead on how to interpret the signs...but who knows if they are true.
The first chapter is centered on The Dark Wood. We will focus on that at first and move out as the story dictates.
Once you have a character I will post some world building questions here.
