Fatemaster

This High Fantasy setting is based on classical fantasy role-playing settings such as Grayhawk and Forgotten Realms. 

Characters play one of the Fated -- individuals who have been chosen by providence for some hidden purpose.  The Fated are all born under an auspicious sign that marks them for greatness.  While most folk are content to live out their lives as quietly and peaceably as possible, the Fated feel a constant pull toward danger and risk.  Deep down they know they aren't meant for the farmer's plow or the peasant's toil -- they are meant to change the world.

The world in question is called Skaern.  Most of Skaern's surface is covered with oceans; the handful of landmasses that breach the waves are mostly wild and untamed.  In humanity's relatively short history a few Empires of note have laid claim to one or more of these continents, but none has managed to hold power for more than a couple of generations.  Entropy is Skaern's true master: those who are mighty seem doomed to fall, creating opportunity for others to rise and fall in turn.

This is a fan-created work was written for the Savage Worlds role-playing system in 2010.
