marjaerwinThe player-characters are all Amazons. The campaign is set in the legendary near east, corresponding to the end of the Bronze Age in the historical near east. The campaign is somewhat linear, I'm not sure how to work around that.
An Amazon oracle has had warnings of some great disaster, and believes that the Amazons must prepare and protect themselves, their land, and their sisters in other lands from this disaster. So the player-characters are sent out on several missions. First, they are to travel to neighboring communities, warn them, trade, and collect certain sacred relics. Second, as Amazon priestesses prepare a ritual to create illusions to conceal their land from the eyes of men, and create barriers, they are also to retrieve certain magical items to help create this barrier. Third, as it becomes clear that wars are about to break out, they are to warn neighboring communities, again. This time their neighboring communities would challenge them: why do the Amazons offer refuge to only the womyn, and those freaks [who they don't consider womyn], not the men? Finally, as the wars break out, they have to protect refugees and the neighboring communities, for example, they have to defend Mytilene from raiders.
