Welcome to the World of Trid
The World of Trid is a global sandbox based on the implied setting of the B/X rules. Trid supports a mix of cultures and technology thematically consistent with Earth’s early Middle Ages, but distinctly different through the infusion of magic, real gods, and massive caches of ancient treasure hidden in dungeons and guarded by monsters.
This Gazetteer has been compiled by the Scriveners’ Guild and drawn from sources across the Continent, from Ophidian hieroglyphs to recovered Ardic manuscripts to monastic texts, from unverifiable folklore, and from the generational histories of the Trader peoples, who cannot speak false.
While Trid is vast, it is not unnavigable, and copies of the Gazetteer (with minor and predictable regional variations) have spread via the Continent’s land routes and seaways. As a result, everything herein is considered common knowledge, or more accurately, common assumptions. Either way, readers are reminded that shared knowledge isn’t necessarily truth—but it is what people believe to be true.
