About Dargon

The Dargon Project is a "shared world" project, where many authors write in a common milieu, sharing settings and characters. The setting is a fantasy world that is predominantly human, at a late medieval technology level, and where magic is relatively rare. This page contains information and links which are designed to give you background information about the setting and characters that constitute our milieu. For an idea about what DargonZine (the magazine) and the Dargon Project (our writing project) are all about, you may want to check out the About DargonZine page.

The Duchy of Dargon is a typically small, out of the way holding, situated in the extreme northwest corner of the Kingdom of Baranur. It is separated from the rest of the kingdom by a vast wood and a range of hills, and is ruled by the young Lord Clifton Dargon. Dargon Keep stands on a hill overlooking the town and port of Dargon, which lie at the mouth of the River Coldwell. The port is Dargon's only link to the more populated south, and the town is an active and busy place. Adventure can be found both within the city's walls and in the surrounding wildlands.
