The Tribute Lands — Paradise Lost

The World of Arr'ath

Ten thousand years of immortal tyranny. Five realms ground beneath the Dragon Throne. A hundred million souls harvested across the centuries. Welcome to the Tribute Lands.

The Empire

The Glasryans discovered how to bind demons ten thousand years ago. The demon-blooded sorcerer-lords who rule from the Dragon Throne gained their immortality through pacts with the Abyss. Every Glasryan noble carries demon blood in their veins — literal heritage from ancestors who bargained with entities beyond mortal comprehension.

This is the source of their sorcery. This is why they've ruled for a hundred centuries while human kingdoms rise and fall like waves. And this is why the tribute ships sail — because the sorcerous appetite that keeps Glasrya functioning demands ten thousand souls every year, year after year, without end.

The Tribute Lands

Beneath Glasrya's shadow, five human realms have found different ways to survive. Some collaborate, growing rich on the trade the Empire permits. Some resist, bleeding fighters into generational wars they cannot win. Some hide, perched in places the sorcerer-lords cannot easily reach. All pay tribute in one form or another — the only question is how much, and at what cost to the soul.

There are no simple heroes here. Collaboration keeps your family alive. Resistance gets your village burned. The morally pure die young and useless. Everyone else compromises, and lives with what that costs them.

"You're not going to fix this. The Empire is too vast, too powerful, too entrenched. But you can matter. You can save this village, free these slaves, kill this monster. You can be the reason someone survives another day. That's enough. That has to be enough." — Player Guidance, The Tribute Lands
The Five Realms

Regions of Arr'ath

Each region is a complete Savage Worlds supplement — playable independently, richer together.

Ammaria

Land of the Merchant Guilds

Seven powerful merchant cities form a confederation bound by need rather than choice. Guilds matter more than armies, criminal gangs murder for profit, and even the temples understand transactional relationships. Ammaria prospers under tribute because it learned to call horror commerce and count souls instead of saving them. The only unforgivable crime is being too poor to matter.

The Saltlands

Corsairs of the Ragar Sound

A corsair confederation scattered across the archipelago of the Ragar Sound, where sea wyrms patrol the deep channels and every captain owes allegiance to the Council of Tides. The Saltlands burned their tribute treaty a generation ago and have been paying the price in blood ever since. Freedom here tastes like salt spray and black powder.

The Vinlands

Forest and Fury

Forest and fury. Four peoples hold this territory against everything that wants to take it: Holtscarl warriors in the ancient Valdmork, Felsgard highlanders in their mountain holds, and darker things in the deep places between. The Vinlands pay tribute through Ammarian intermediaries and hate every coin of it. Classic dungeon crawls, ancient ruins, and enemies on every side.

The Concordium

The Sky Cities

Five floating city-states suspended above the clouds, maintained by ancient pacts and technologies the Glasryans cannot easily reach. The Concordium is the only realm that refuses tribute outright, protected by altitude and the inconvenient fact that sorcerer-lords prefer not to fight at heights where falling means dying. Politics, scholarship, and cloudsilk trade define life among the sky cities.

Glasrya

Heart of the Empire

The Imperial City itself. Ancient, decadent, terrible. Demon-blooded nobles drift through millennia-long political games while mortal servants maintain the infrastructure of empire. Glasrya doesn't feature prominently in player campaigns — it looms at the edge of every story, the black city on the horizon, the place the tribute ships sail toward and no one returns from unchanged.

For Savage Worlds

At the Table

The Tribute Lands is built for Savage Worlds because Fast! Furious! Fun! is the right philosophy for grimdark adventure. Combat should be fast and lethal. Moral choices should matter more than tactical optimisation. A session should end with your players arguing about what they did — not how many hit points they have left.

Every supplement requires only the Savage Worlds core rulebook. The Fantasy Companion is recommended but never required. Our custom Edges, Hindrances, ancestries, and gear are designed to be portable — they work wherever your character travels, not just in the region that created them.

What Makes This Different

  • Occupation drama, not good versus evil
  • Many points of view, many wounds, many grudges
  • Collaboration and resistance as equally valid choices
  • Player options worth building characters around
  • Professional quality benchmarked against industry leaders
About

Glassforge Games

Glassforge Games is a small independent publisher creating content and tools for Savage Worlds by Pinnacle Entertainment Group.

We believe the Savage Worlds community deserves the best digital tools and the richest, most Fast, Furious, Fun! settings. The Vehicle Forge is our contribution to the first. The Tribute Lands is our offering to the second.

Everything we build works standalone. The Vehicle Forge serves any Savage Worlds campaign, not just ours. The setting supplements require nothing beyond the core rules.

"We learned to look at horror and call it commerce. We count souls instead of saving them, and we sleep in fine beds bought with that counting. Judge us if you must. But judge us knowing that our alternative is fire." — Aldric Thorne, Ammarian Merchant Factor

What We Build

The Vehicle Forge is a free vehicle construction tool for Savage Worlds. Six sliders, 127 weapons across seven technology eras, 41 modifications, and 47 canon reference builds from the core rulebook. Build anything from a bicycle to a battleship in minutes and export to Fantasy Grounds, Foundry VTT, or Pinnacle-format stat blocks. Extension packs add hundreds of pre-built vehicles as the ecosystem grows.

The Tribute Lands is a grimdark fantasy setting for Savage Worlds. Five regional supplements, each playable on its own, each built to compete with the best in the industry. A world where immortal sorcerer-lords rule through systematic tribute extraction, and every human realm has found its own way to survive — or profit — under occupation.

Everything we publish requires nothing beyond the Savage Worlds core rulebook. The Fantasy Companion is recommended but never mandatory.
