The Cradle & The Crescent
This setting expands the medieval world eastward into the Islamic lands of Arabia, Persia, and beyond the shattered Byzantine Empire and Crusader kingdoms. Sorcerers ride carpets, jinn trade openly in great cities, and Zoroastrian priests invoke divine power while scholars gather in renowned libraries and schools. Players take their saga into a region shaped by jinn, sahirs, and the Order of Suleiman. The lands offer new cultures, supernatural forces, and places to explore, but are not unguarded territory for Hermetic magi seeking to extend their influence.
