This thread will be for a 'honey I shrunk the kids' sort of world
Story; Oh no! you've been shrunk! but, things arent what you expect. insects ar alot friendler than you imagined, there are even others like yourself other humans dressed in chitin armour of the various insects even some people who can understand the creatures and work as translators.
side notes: Metal is rare (in the forest) most things are made from chitin (bug skin) or wood and stone. anything made from metal is usualy how it was found. like a needle made into a sword.
insects are intelligent but only limitedly so, like main character animals who understand but lack ability to do much more outside their insect norms. the smartest are the queens most others can be used as mounts or pets
magic (if any) has heavy influence here. magic users are rare and often given high status.
also, sorry to you clerics and paladins but, your deity dont give two shits about you when your the size of an insect, so maybe some new deities are in order? idk.. just a thought.
Theres a large oak with a patch of yellow. a bees nest. where your welcomed to join the colony in making honey, trading or even odd jobs for the queen herself
a good ways away is the bees rival the ants. Living in a moutainous like mound. another nice colony that welcomes trade and willing workers but theyre a little more paranoid.
ajacent to the two kingdoms is a junkyard. run by a mysterious being known only as Boss. here youll find the roughest of the rough. flies, roaches and mosquitos are the mains here.
however in these kingdoms you notice somethings stange. someone is usually around wearing silk and spreading the gospel of the spider. a cult who lives under and worships a rather large spider.
lastly, is the snail carvans. a group of sluggish traders who travel between kingdoms. a group that does things at its own pace
and thats all. this is a world building exercise. try and come up with other factions or key characters. Use this idea in your next campeign if you like XD. i dont mind, i just wanna see what we can come up with
