The World of Solem

This is the first post in hopefully a long running thread of world and campaign building for my upcoming Gurps fantasy campaign.

I will use this first post as a kind of encyclopedia for the rest of the thread, with links to both lore and mechanics posts, so as the thread gets longer, people can easily find the relevant posts.
I have never created a campaign world publicly like this so be kind! I am going to liberally steal and re-purpose from many different sources and settings both rpg and fictional books. I do not yet have a totally clear vision of what I want as the players will also affect this. I will create as I go and amend when I have created potentially inconsistent or contradictory pieces of world building.

Please feel welcome to comment, suggest, cheer on, constructively criticize as much as you want, both on the mechanics (as I am new to GURPS) and the lore of the campaign world.
I will try to do at least one post a day, of something creative.
