Your Fantasy Map is Already Full of Quest Hooks

The geography of any fantasy Dungeons and Dragons world has extremely large impacts on the people who live there, how they interact with each other, and set the literal stage for the kinds of issues they will face. So, how can you use these phenomena as a means to develop quest hooks or plots for your D&D worlds?

I want to make one comment about the transition from stone to bronze; you said that it was the invention of bronze that prompted the shift to toolmaking and legal codes, but in fact those things both predate bronze. In fact it might be more accurate to say that the agricultural surplus provided by rivers allowed for the shift to specialized trades, which in turn lead someone to figure out how to make bronze.

[@jlaw131985]

It also took a specific area that had access to trade for copper and tin. There aren’t many places where that’s easy to do.

[@peterlewerin4213]

The very last point: in Tolkien's works, Ents vs a ruthless Istari, neither of them human, was a natural way for him to express a faction for traditional-natural resources and another faction for technological destructive exploitation. George Lucas used Ewoks and The Empire. In the video, a community of druids vs a wizard building a tower. In Princess Mononoke, an interloper faction is added and the conflict is doubled in the metaphysical. And so on. Many great variations on one single aspect of resource conflict. This kind of conflict is easy to grasp for us, but maybe not as easy to understand. Many of us choose to side with the natural-resource faction even though we live within a technological culture where each of us has a much smaller footprint on the remaining nature than the inhabitants of a culture living in nature, and the technological one has much more ways for people to grow and realise their potential. There are teaching and learning opportunities here for a well-educated group.

[@adolfhipsteryolocaust3443]

The reason why we side with the nature factions is that the industrial factions are simply presented as evil while the nature ones are good, a more nuanced characterization would be: nature factions as "natural" while industrial factions as "civilized" let me explain: the nature factions live happier lives but are more brutal and have morals more similar to beasts like abandoning weak children, resolving conflicts with violence, raiding, pillaging and enslaving and having strick religious practices while the industrial society has "free" citizens that are all a bit enslaved to the system, the people are unhappier and less healthy and disconnected to the ruling class while being exploited by them but having higher odds of survival, caring more for the weak and sickly and so on, this creates a more nuanced choice than: industry bad (although I would still side with nature I hate industrial society but that is my opinion and not objective reality And I wouldn't force it that way in the narrative)

The three seas initiative didn't actually include Ukraine though.

[@forrestpugh7575]

@@bilbarcooks4681 Ukraine is an important strategic zone which Putin desires as a buffer to NATO first and foremost. There is also cultural bias and ideology at play. Putin feels that with Joe Biden as sitting president he has free range to annex that space and create a point of control over that '3 seas' network. There is also the meddling that NeoCons such as the Bushes and Rumsfeld initiated which took that territory away from Russia. Remember that he has made a couple of plays to recover it already. Add what Clinton/Obama and the NeoLibs did there (establishing corrupt energy companies- per Joe and Hunter, bio weapons labs, etc.) and he's definitely going to seize the opportunity to reclaim it before the Balkan states can consolidate under a western benefitting trade network. You can find his speeches about this - he's not some brutal dummy. He has perhaps miscalculated the west, but we'll see. Remember that until Trump was in office, NATO was actually quite depleted depending on US forces for the majority of their combat effectiveness. Putin respected Trump because of his strong personality, not necessarily a polite respect, but at the very least that of a cunning predator carefully considering its prey. Biden's complete fumbling of the Afghanistan withdrawal was basically his green-light to march. And yes it was entirely on the Biden administration for botching that. Although it was Trump's decision to withdraw, the manner in which the US forces did so was entirely on Ol' Sleepy Joe.

What you mention about wizard towers influencing politics is so interesting and makes me think of the First Law books by Joe Abercrombie. The House of the Maker is long abandoned, but it’s within city limits of a geopolitical superpower. It’s never really explained but I always assumed the wizard Kanedius built is tower within the superpower, but perhaps the superpower formed around Kanedius and his tower. Interesting stuff. Also I could be completely wrong on some details, haven’t read the books in a while ;)

[@ozludo]

This is an excellent video. Taking it a step further, in high fantasy and SF "rivers" don't need to be rivers: a network of portals or space gates will have population centres and infrastructure surrounding each node, whether it be graving yards for the Imperial Space Fleet or /Gymnasia of the Magisters/. I have a setting where flying landmasses travel around predictable courses at a speed of about 20km/day. Their rulers spend most of their time dominating the trembling serfs below, but they also buy and sell trade goods. The flying mountains combine city, bulk transport and centre of power. One point that jarred. Circa 10 minutes, you talk about self-sufficient nations becoming rivals and mutual antagonists. That's not always true - they need to have significant areas of competition or disagreement, and they also need to have significant contact. Han Dynasty China had very little problem with Rome, and vice versa, because central Asia was in the way. I've no doubt they would have warred if they had been neighbours. In contrast, after the entente cordiale, Britain and France got on reasonably well. They were right next to each other and had a millennium of war and mistrust, but for the last 100 years they have allied. No significant areas of competition that were not outweighed by trade and mutual obligation (Brexit? - headshake). So what I'm getting at is that competition of ideas or for resources is a *necessary* condition. East/West, Prussia/France, Wizards/Druids etc

The best part of the video comes when you start talking about alternative limited resources leading to wealth. Really Inspiring Stuff. I've been making this setting that set inside a small pocket dimension, that loops on its self and is only about a season of walking long, in any direction you go, to eventually end up standing in the same spot. I just now supposed that in addition to the two parallel rivers that flow in either direction and only connect at a single whirlpool like sea their is also a lay line that intersects both rivers and bulges on the opposite end of the whirlpool sea in a rocky infertile area. The leyline (or leylines if I make more) all come to this spot of the ground and swell up in a well spring of magic. Now I have two great city states, one that makes way more food, and one that makes way more magical goods, and with two city states, I have conflict!

[@KnarbMakes]

Lot to chew on with this video! Very cool world building resource in these videos. What are your thoughts on how certain fantasy/sci-fi settings use a "mcguffin" resources to this same effect: eg: Spice in Dune, or Vibranium from Wakanda in the Marvel universe.

I really, really like your example of druids at the end. Adding the geopolitical angle to your typical "don't defile nature!" story makes it much more interesting and compelling.

[@StarlasAiko]

Not to forget, Rivers are also part of the available natural borders between nations, making defending borders easier and cheaper since one only needs guard posts at bridges, not along the entire border. One of the reasons for China's expansionistic hostile policies, demanding ownership over all the territories they are claiming, is to secure the springs of all the rivers that flow through china and to ensure that their borders are entirely oceanic or mountainous and therefor easy to defend.

I think building a quest around these mundane resource concerns is just as cool. Sending the heroes to deal with an illegal river blockade, for example, can lead in all kinds of directions. Was the blockade put in place by rebels trying to get leverage against exploitation? Was it sponsored in secret by a competitor state? Is it part of a larger guerilla warfare effort that's a prelude to a more overt war? Or, maybe the heroes are sent to find the resources in newly acquired land. Call me old fashioned but I find the mundane stuff efficient.

It gave me an idea for all fantasy races to coexist: have them have different main foods. Dwarfs and humans can be similar, with dwarfs being slightly more on the carnivorous side and being able to better handle a lack of electrolytes in the died. Elves would be meso-fungivores, who's died consist of 50-70% of mushrooms and lichens, with an inability to digest starch. Merpeople and goblins could be detritivores, feeding on dead and decaying organisms, with some occasional predation. Oh, and they'll also be an organisms that is an autotrophe, using both salt and seismic energy (small seism happen all the time) to produce their own food, with oxygen as a by-product, but be very sensitive to sun-light (it actually kills them). They would allow for caves to develop rich ecosystems and the Underdark peoples are willing to defend with their lives if need be.

You know, it's not a one-to-one, but how no one mapped Lay Lines in Rifts always bugged me. There are a whole bunch of 'can freely fly... within x distance of a lay line.' It make magic more powerful, and magic can summon food and water. Some people can even teleport freely up and down a lay line. And this isn't some exclusive, rare, or only high level ability. It makes sense that people don't want to settle on Nexus (where lay lines meet), because it can dump monsters on you, but so long as your a decent distance from them a Lay Line becomes a nature economic channel. But outside of explicitly high magic nations most people avoid lay lines, and their something you stumble on, rather than integrated into trade and economics, and they absolutely should be for many of the same reasons rivers are.
