Setting Rules

The Savage World: Adventure Edition provides many options for customizing the setting and creating unique characters. The following rules are specific to the Xethos Lands and should be used when creating characters and running games in this setting, but if you find that in practice you don't want a certain rule, feel free to ignore it. These rules are meant to enhance the gaming experience and provide a framework for the world, but they are not meant to be restrictive or limiting. The most important thing is to have fun and create memorable stories in the Xethos Lands.
