Maluna
The setting of Riskbreaker’s Gambit primarily takes place within a peninsula called Maluna, specifically an area that lies east of Elma’s Run and south of the Farsi Peaks, which holds much of the Pale Dynasty’s holdings.
Clans generally operate as small-scale specialists, routing monsters and competing with one another for supremacy as they do so.
Of course you may wish to simply dispense with the official canon and use whatever setting you like to play your games; this was provided in order to help players get invested in the world of Riskbreaker’s Gambit.
The Pale Dynasty
Spreading from its capital city of Badarr across the peninsula, Maluna bears the indelible mark of the Pale Dynasty. Guided by an unbroken line of rulers seating the otherworldly Pale Throne, each Pale King’s previous identity is eclipsed and subsumed by the symbol of their office.
Generally beloved by their people, the Pale Dynasty has guided and shaped the land and her people for generations and worked tirelessly to ensure a bright future for all.
Every sworn Citizen works for the betterment of Maluna on behalf of their King and knows that they are in turn beloved and valued, as they continue to bask in the succor of his regard.
While clan warriors are too headstrong and free-thinking to fall into line within the more militant arms of the Pale Dynasty, they have nonetheless sworn to uphold the Pale King’s ideals within the bounds of their own flourishing niche.
The Nine
The ascendancy of the Nine as the dominant religion on Maluna has been a complex and protracted journey, marked by the suppression of fringe cults, small religions and minor gods, with the eventual emergence of the Nine as the prevailing spiritual force. This transformation has been shaped by the enduring influence of the Pale Dynasty.
The unbroken lineage of the Pale King works to root out and suppress savage cults, heretics and wild powers existing in the periphery, their influence at odds with the emergent order. With pagan practices suppressed the deities known as the Nine have become the focal point of the prevailing religious landscape of Maluna.
