A
world in the
Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition
universe. Macilnya is a world of war;
nation-states divided along
racial splits, continuous
turmoil along the borders. Campaigns take place primarily in the
human kingdom of
Maltara, which, adjacent to
dwarven,
elven and
orcish states, is the most
heterogenous environment.
