The Resurgent Kingdoms is an immersive and exciting campaign setting set in the rich and diverse world of Thymaril. Thymaril offers a plethora of deep lore, intricate politics, and an ongoing resurgence of hope following an age of darkness. For a century, Thymaril was shrouded in an unnatural darkness brought on by the gods. The pantheon of Thymaril has always been very involved in the lives of the mortals in Thymaril. The council of gods known as The Genesis Gods determined that the involvement by the gods of good and evil had become too deep, ruling that there must be a punishment and warning bestowed upon the gods of good and evil and the mortals. Their decision, slay the gods of good and evil, and cast a long lasting darkness upon Thymaril. Their ruling was meant to serve as a reminder that every being has a part to play in existance and the cost of stepping beyond that role can often have serious and long-lasting consequences.
Now, the gods of good and evil reincarnated, their bodies and roles reversed, the world is beginning to heal. Light has returned, but as a continued warning to the mortals, every year, for a month, the darkness returns. This month-long darkness has not prevented hope from being rekindled among the mortals. Kingdoms that had once crumbled are now rising again. History and lore erased in and by the darkness, now being fought for in order to restore and remember the past. Each kingdom is unique, each with its own stories, customs, and struggles. From bustling trade cities to hidden magical enclaves, from war-torn borders to thriving centers of knowledge, the kingdoms of Thymaril offer endless adventure for those daring enough to explore.
One of the defining aspects of Thymaril is its pantheon of deities, an intricate and diverse collection of gods that are active and deeply involved in the lives of mortals. These gods are not distant, unreachable beings; they are present in the world, their influence felt in every kingdom. Whether they bring blessings or curses, their will is a powerful force that shapes the fate of nations. The gods’ presence is a central part of daily life for most of the people of Thymaril since the gods restored light. The pantheon's involvement in the world’s growth and struggles adds both complexity and depth to the ongoing story.
The Resurgent Kingdoms Campaign Setting also offers players a wealth of options to customize their heroes, including new races, subclasses, backgrounds, spells, and a brand-new core class, the Beacons of Thymaril. The world of Thymaril offers options to bring your character’s story to life by offering limitless possibilities for players to shape the world through their actions.
As the gods continue to play their hands in the lives of mortals, what role will your character take? Will you become the heroes who help guide the kingdoms into a new age of prosperity, OR will you fight alongside those that wish to take advantage of the month-long darkness that returns every year for your personal benefit.
In The Resurgent Kingdoms Campaign setting, the story is yours to write.

Our Staff
Dean Whitehurst, Jamie Bradshaw, Danny Mahaffey
Combined, the three of us have over 100 years experience playing TTRPGs. From our first sessions we have been hooked, some say we have a problem, we strongly disagree. Our love for these games has inspired us to create new things to incorporate into our games for decades now however. This passion we share for TTRPGs and creating things in them led us to create a world we have named Thymaril. Thymaril has evolved over the years, which eventually led us to form Turn The Key Games and The Resurgent Kingdoms Campaign Setting. One thing that is certain about all of the staff involved with TTK Games, we all share a passion for telling stories and creating new things that we can use to heighten the storytelling experience.
