This is an idea for a campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons (DnD).
It’s 200 years after an apocalypse of hellfire in a world that was once much like the Forgotten Realms. A few survivors eke out a dangerous living in the desolate landscape. Undead roam by night, commanded by powerful intelligent undead lords. Adventurers seek out dungeons and tombs from the old world to find surviving magical artifacts, but many of the creatures of the underworld have survived the apocalypse. Isolated pockets of human settlements still exist among the ruins, but the survivors are under relentless attack by the legions of undead. The survivors also constantly seek technology and magic from the old ruins that might help them better fight off the magical undead creatures. The key to defeating the undead lords is in finding old magical weapons that were once designed to defeat them.
To flesh out this world, I plan to use various world-building tools such as World Anvil, ProFantasy software, and the DnD Beyond System Reference Document.
