Azuhl
A Grimbright Campaign Setting for D&D 5e
setting for D&D 5e
A 1,000+ page grimbright trilogy for D&D.
Build your bladeship, gather your crew,
cross the Black Ice, and survive the 90-day eclipse.
THE OCEANS FROZE.
We learned to sail them anyway.
The Drakorian Empire fell. The seas turned to Black Ice. But we endured. From isolated Havens, bladeships venture into the frozen wilderness to explore what remains.
BUILD YOUR BLADESHIP
No two ships sail alike. Make this one yours.
More than a vessel, your bladeship is your crew’s home, stronghold, and lifeline. Customize it with over 100 cards, manage it through a modular card-and-binder system, and watch it evolve with every journey.
LET HER FLY
Put her on the ice. And see what she can do.
Race across Black Ice battlemaps, outmaneuver enemy vessels and fight with dedicated bladeship miniatures, speed rulers and turning tools.

Backers have already discovered this world
The critically acclaimed board game Uprising: Curse of the Last Emperor introduced Azuhl to thousands. Now, after 30 years of development, the full RPG campaign setting is coming to Kickstarter.
Inspired by the sweeping sagas of Star Wars and the mythic grandeur of The Lord of the Rings, with a pinch of Mad Max and a touch of Indiana Jones. Azuhl is a grimbright campaign setting - the world is harsh and unforgiving, but it burns with defiant hope.
