Welcome to the world of Aenea, the home of my Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, currently using the 5th edition of the game (D&D 5e). Aenea is an earth-like world, with a variety of climates and cultures. The world of Aenea (pronounced ay-nee-ah) has been my campaign world since I started running D&D games (more than 30 years ago). It began because as a teen I didn't have the spare cash for published worlds, and continued over the years because I can make it whatever I want without players expecting certain things like they would with the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, or (now) Exandria. I came up with the name as something that sounds fantasy-like and because it's a palindrome. Aenea is a fantasy realm with features like a land of sentient animals, a desert empire (a mashup of Arabian/Egyptian/Persian stuff), an orc empire that covers 1/5 of a continent, unique deities, an unnerving village of nice people, a simplified planar cosmology, a land where magic turtles protect villages, a system of ancient magic portals, a city full of undead, invisible lions, and a lot of other stuff.                -The Amethyst Dragon, DM and Player.
