<p style="text-align: left;">This is Part 03 of a series wherein we talk about generating an entire campaign, on-the-fly, for your favorite fantasy role-playing game(s). In the future, it might have a tighter focus on either <b>D&D</b> or <b>Pathfinder</b>, but for now, let's consider this material more-or-less generic.<br /></p>
</center>
<p>NOTE: All the usual polyhedron dice are used for DCS, though today, we'll only be using <b>1d12</b>.<br /></p>

<h1>01: Cosmology</h1>
<h2>01.01: What came before? (continued...)</h2>
<p>What existed before this world? Was it another world, filled with heroes? An endless plane of energy or thought? Or maybe there was nothing at all?</p>
<p><br /></p>
<h3>01.01.07</h3>
<p><b><u>A World of Ice and Snow</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b></p>
<p>Roll <b>1d12</b>:<br /></p>
<p><b><br /></b></p>
<p><b>01</b> -- A world of ice and snow. Beings made of ice ruled over this world; all life was formed from living snow and frost.<br /></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>02</b> -- An entirely frozen world, devoid of life.<br /></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>03</b> -- That world was much like this one, only as if this world were entirely arctic. There were people, animals, and monsters; gods and heroes. All are gone. All are lost in time.<br /></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>04</b> -- That world was somewhat like this one, except that ice stood in for earth and stone.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>05</b> -- A world made entirely of ice, where fire was blue, and burned cold.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>06</b> -- That world was one gigatic iceberg, floating upon the Etherial Plane.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>07</b> -- It was a world made of ice and snow, that was destroyed in a cataclism. All that remains of it now, are the arctic regions of this world.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>08</b> -- The present world <i>used</i> to be that one. It changed over time, and all that remains of it are the arctic regions and mountains peaks. Evil cults seek to bring that world back.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>09</b> -- It was a world of ice, yet, nothing but a single snowflake in a blizzard of realities.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>10</b> -- It was a world of ice and snow, which never flly went away; it still touches our world during the depths of Winter.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>11</b> -- It was a world like ours, but covered i perpetual winter. The first gods were formed of snow by the mortal people who lived there.</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><b>12</b> -- It was a world of ice and snow. One ice crystal shone above all others, and became the sun. It melted that world, which formed the lakes, rivers, and oceans.</p>
