If you two are interested in playing in the Children of Mother campaign setting, feel free to add me on discord "Xaireph#8498". The current campaign I am working on for the setting is actually an Arabian dessert/Mediterranian sea theme with 4 main ark options.
The Envoy of Shahanshah-Sadar ArdashirWith the Jihad at its close, the Shadi Empire must recollect its strength to defend itself against those who might see its recent victory as a chance to strike against the empire while it is spread thin. Now is a war of diplomacy and intrigue, of building alliances and preparing for the future.
Shahanshah-Sadar Ardashir sees the other lands who are eager to chip away at his empire while his forces are focused on building order in what his Jihad has claimed. He sends his Envoys out to The Jun-han and Vanom Empires, the Hyndi Hegemony, the Dalii Republic and more to reaffirm, further establish or begin the building blocks of treaties, trade deals and strengthened international relations. He sends spies to any land that may stand as a threat, all of them, and he sends Vizer's to establish the communication across his empire.

Politics: Medium-High
Roleplaying: Medium
Tactics: Low-Medium
Player Buy-in: Traveling the world, visiting the many locations therein and the cultures that have blossomed in each. You won't start in a town and eventually become heroes of the land, but instead will come to be heroes across the world.
Forming bonds and building diplomatic and personal relations where you go, you will constantly be on the move leaving behind the people you meet. Eventually, you will have a base to return to after completing each quest, and you'll find allies and enemies alike across the globe.
The Mercenaries FoilWith the Shadi Empires Jihad having come to a close, a mercenary company "The Silvered Finch" falls on hard times and regroups what remain in Sana'a, the largest city of the empires new expanse. There the small band must lick its wounds, recruit new members, and plot its revenge. Meanwhile, the presence of the most famous mercenary company in all Shadi, even greatly diminished, changes the political landscape of this already insanely-political city.
The soldiers of the Finch are strangers in a strange land. Factions maneuver their pieces, each trying to use the Finch to forward their own goals. Surrounded by scheming and treachery, the hardbitten soldiers of the Finch do what they must. Burying their doubts with their dead.
The Military War GamePolitics: High
Roleplaying: High
Tactics: Medium-High
Player Buy-in: You must buy into the idea that you are apart of a small mercinary company after the end of the Jihad(Holy war). You follow the code that "A contract signed is a Contract upheld." Now the war is over, your pay has run thin and you look for work to hold you over till the next conflict arises.
The Hunters BaneSince the final battles of the Jihad, and the resulting influx in the Empires acumulated lands, the new expance has found itself waining in the area of man power to hold the forces of nature and dangers beyond its cities at bay against the progress of the modern age of Ardashir's Enlighnement. A calling of sellswords and men of arms has been made to any who would answer and was willing to make a healthy sum of wealth, if they dare to face the dangers.
Bandits, brigands, Beasts, Monsters, Foes of all manor and origin plauge the land beyond the rural agriculture of the Shadi Empire. One could find themselves living quite comfortably if only they show bravery and promise in the hunt. Delve deep into the Desert Sands, the Oceans Waves and the Unseen destinations far and wide. Slay Fiends, Collect your quarry and become yourself a rich man among men.
The Sandbox Monster Hunting GamePolitics: Low
Roleplaying: Low-Medium
Tactics: High
Player Buy-in: You must buy into the idea that you are hunters for hire, taking jobs posted by the Arteshtaran, the Wuzurgan, the Degan and the Ho Tokhshan Bod Syndicate. These jobs include tracking, hunting and harvesting the remains of monsters and dangers that plauge the new expance of the Shadi Empire.
Lost Temple of SaiyeemLong befor even the Jihad, the Shadi Empire claimed the kingdom of Kainen and its people. Its Religion became subject to discorse and fell to a shadow of its former glory. Ancient Temples of worship were either converted to worship Ahura-Mazda or were lost to the sands of time. A Tale of one such Temple hidden with in a desert Oasis has ignited the interest of dungeon delvers and treasure hunters alike, as well as those who still follow the old ways in secret who crave at the opportunity to reclaim lost artifacts and religious texts of the past.
Though, let it be warned, this Temple is said to be older then time and seeped with hidden power and divine influence. Larger then The great city of Shadi-Alashiem itself (Capital of the Shadi empire) stories and whispers of monsters, demons, devils, angel, aborations, ghosts and goblins riddle this lost piece of history. What lies hidden within in truth is unknown, and a possible treasure trove to rival even the Shahanshah-Sadar himself await those brave and cunning enough to claim it.
The Dungeon DelverPolitics: Low
Roleplaying: Low (but not none.)
Tactics: High
Players are self-directed. Opportunities exist for players to build their own local domains with the money and treasure they find. Campaign-altering secrets await below!
Player Buy-in: Exploring and getting loot has to sound cool on its own. A given player might have an artifact they’re questing for, but you might not find it for months. So the “I’m only here to find the _____” attitude will cause folks to get bored and burned out.
If folks get bored exploring a mega-dungeon I’ll make sure there’s other stuff to do. But basically, it has to sound cool to delve into this massive dungeon where there are portals to pocket dimensions and hidden, secret races plotting and scheming.
This will still use the Children of mother races posted before, and if you are not interested in these options, we can return to camelot and explore that realm further, I can spend the next week coming up with some campaign ideas to take place there. Just pm me here or message me on discord and we can find a solid place for a game.
