From the Far South, where the land is scorched by 2 Suns, the Skinner walked. He chased a vision, a prophecy whispered in his ear by the Ant Seers. The Wheel of Seasons was stuck and the World sickened as a result. The Skinner had a part to play in the Great Story- to bear a blessed blade North and excise the rot. He crossed the Shuddering Sea and slipped through Clowdertown unseen by Autumn's Hounds and Resistance alike. The Land trapped in harvest turned the Skinner's stomach and still he walked with purpose. Undetected through Borchardbriar's uneven halls he stalked the canker, stealing up to the 4-Sided Throne room. Too bad Old Mad Craw was waiting for him amidst the spoil and bones. The Skinner met his match and lost his name.
Leashed to the Foxlord's will, the Skinner stalks Reynard's foes and steals their hides.
Now the Skinner's part is played by someone else. Walking North from the Burning Lands and bearing a blessed blade.

Borchardbriar is a Savage Worlds setting I've been working on since May 2017. It owes a lot to Brian Jacques' Redwall series and Garth Nix' The Old Kingdom. So hopefully if you enjoy those, the you'll enjoy Borchardbriar.
