Foreword

The setting of The League of Magics incorporates science into its fiction. With planets and moons within our own solar system, with magic, gods, and human technology all existing at a single time. An alternate timeline of events on Earth resulting in a far more advanced human civilization. Gods entering into our solar system and creating life on what we have known to be inhospitable moons.

In this "universe" of our solar system, there is a distinct difference in magic, technology, and artifice. Magic is a gift given by the gods to their various creations. Technology is rigid and man-made. Made of metal, electricity, and other mundane, magic-less materials. In the League of Magics setting you are able to explore any and all of these options.

It is designed to cater to the both traditional fantasy and modern science fiction. This is designed to imagine a universe where the dream of going to a fantasy world to slay dragons is simply a rocket ship away. Where elves and dragonborn sail between worlds on magical ships with auras of oxygen, next to humans traveling in their metal contraptions. Firearms, grenades, and other unique inventions infused with magical properties by the elephant-like people of Mokandu.

The objective of any game is to have fun, and this book is designed to achieve that goal through compelling narratives, an expansive set of worlds, with tons of new lore, items, monsters and more.

This has been an idea floating around for over 15 years and has finally come together into a single book. Whether you enjoy sci-fi, political intrigue, monster slaying, pirate adventuring, artifact collecting, god-killing, power-leveling, bare-knuckle brawling, space ship dog fighting, inter-planetary traveling, bear hugging enemies, and making friends along the way, then pick up your pen, grab a character sheet, and get ready for The League of Magics.

What's In here?

This book is intended to provide you with a full tour of the various worlds that create The System. From the collection of worlds, down to the towns and hamlets that populate the lands. There are 2 worlds that are the most populated known as Titan and Ganya, with small worlds such as Spes Nova, Pax, and Kronos.

Part 1

This section will tell you the tale of The System, the different pantheons and religions that exist within it, as well as creation myths and history between the various worlds. It will also include the calendar, and explains the unique way these inhospitable moons in our reality, magically sustain life in The System.

Part 2

This section will go into further detail about the continent of Myrencea, on the World of Ganya. This continent is home to dozens of unqique nations, city-states, and towns with their own rich and vibrant history. This section will explain the history of this continent and the nations that comprise it.r

Part 3

This section will follow a similar pattern to the previous section, but details the individual towns and cities within major nations. It will also include notable factions, NPCs, background information, as well as plot hooks in these locations.

Part 4

This section will outline new player character options available in this setting. This includes new playable races, subclasses, feats, magic items, and backgrounds. It will also detail origins of various races found in the The Player's Handbook and other materials.

Adventure Awaits!

An adventure in The System can take a variety of forms. Political intrigue in the capital of The Wizard Nations, a monster slaying campaign in the Woods of Askria, or a traditional fantasy campaign throughout the land of the elves, Austrialus Majora.

The System contains aspects of traditional fantasy, science-fiction, cosmic horror, and more. While many of these aspects can be used, many can be ignored to create an adventure suited for your group.

Inter-Planetary Travel

The sci-fi elements of The System are only as prevalent as you make them. If you and your group are not interested in exploring these elements and prefer a more traditional, high-fantasy adventure, the setting can accommodate this.

Sci-Fi Fantasy is Life!

To include more elements of the science-fiction nature into your adventure, consider talking to your players about having Earth Human characters that can utilize new and interesting tools and mechanics.

Additionally, consider starting your adventure on the world of Titan, or having characters connected the The Human Flotilla, outlines later in this book.

A Little Here, A Little There

If your group wants a fantasy adventure with some existing science fiction elements in the background, having a group with a mix of Earth-Humans, and others from Ganya.

The world of Ganya is stringent with Earth Human visitors and they are rare to see on world. This can allow a mostly fantastical setting with hints of modern or sci-fi aspects.

Keep Your Sci-Fi Out of My Fantasy!

To keep in line with a traditional fantasy adventure, the world of Ganya offers an excellent opportunity to focus solely on the fantasy aspects that exists in The System. Ganya is resistant to "Unmagiked" arriving on their planet, and thus, their influence is scantly seen on the world. Much of Ganya is your archetypical fantasy setting, with a unique and vibrant history.

An Overview of The System

The League of Magics campaign setting takes place in The System. A collection of space faring races that live on the various moons and planets within the Solar System. This setting mixes and blends the ideas of traditional D&D with our real-world solar system and science-fiction, similar in concept to the traditional Dungeons and Dragons Spelljammers setting, with real-world influences.

Unlike other settings, the worlds of The league of Magics are not planets, but satellites of gas giants. This can raise interesting questions about certain roles the moon plays to many creatures, races, curses, or magical diseases.

Earth

The passing comet sails into The System at millions of miles per hour, passing by the first hospitable planet one could ever land on closest to the burning ball of hydrogen. Earth, the pale blue dot. The comet passes by the race of ingenuity, unity, and exploration. A race of nonmagical people conquering their own domain through technology and sheer force of will.

Nearly identical to our own world with an altered timeline, resulting in a familiar yet different human civilization. United in the expansion of their people to newer worlds and learning more about the fantastical lands before them, Earth is the only planet Humans come from, and are unique from the traditional roles’ humans play in other fantasy settings. Humans are known in the system for their lack of ability to harness magic, instead relying on strange mechanical monstrosities to traverse The System.

This array of unique equipment only available to humans is called the Earthen Armory. Humans are unique for their inventions of firearms and various other military equipment. The Human civilizations in this setting takes on a retro futurist aesthetic with a modern and progressive cultural stance.

Titan

The comet reaches the first world outside of the dangerous asteroid belt, Titan. This habitable moon of the massive planet Saturn, or "Mother", brims with life and culture. The land of the beasts which opened their mighty paws, hooves, and wings for the new arrivals, the Earth Humans. This world has seen the devastation of war, and the constructive nature of friendship and alliance.

Titan is Saturn's moon of the same name. Titan is vastly different from Ganya in its racial makeup and relationship with humans. Titan is home to the many bestial and elemental races of the System. Much of the world is ruled over the 4 Ancient Races; Minotaurs, Centaurs, Gryffons, and Loxodons. Other races such as Tortles, Genasi, Yuan-ti, and Triton also exist here in the tropical regions of The Serpents Maw.

The Loxodons of Mokandu have built a strong relationship with humans, working together to create incredible works of arcana-mechanical devices. There are many more worlds this setting guide will explore. This setting offers a variety of new subclasses, races, two new pantheons, and tons of plot hooks for your players.

Ganya

As the comet feels the pull of Sol lessen, another massive force tugs at it. The planet Jupiter, or Apex, looms large next to it. The birthplace of dwarves, humans, halfling, dragons and more. The home of elves and their expansive and diverse empire. A world that has suffered through eons of war and timidly waits in its quiet peace.

Ganya is the largest moon of Jupiter, Ganymede. This land is highly resistant to human interference, and maintains many of the traditional settings and tropes of D&D. There are various kingdoms and warring nations, filled with vast untamed lands that no one dares to spend too long in. Most all humanoid races such as Dwarves, Elves, Goliaths, Gnomes, Halflings and more can be found on this world.

You will find a more traditional human-like race called Myrenceans. Identical to humans from Earth, but with the ability to harness magic. Most people on Ganya find humans from Earth to be ill omens due to their lack of magic. As well, humans from earth are magically marked with a tattoo that covers a part of their face when they enter Ganya’s atmosphere. People of Ganya believe this is the planet marking the “Unmagiked”.

Pax

The comet soars past the many moons of Apex, which leads to a home to all of the denizens of The System. A united land designed for peace, after a terrible war. It can see a place filled with discussion, debate, and passion. The home of the League of Magics.

Known to humans as Jupiter's moon Europa, Pax is home to The League of Magics. An inter-planetary peace-keeping initiative meant to represent the various nations in The System, as well as representatives from the different races throughout the system. However, not all are included, and a society must formally apply to be part of this group.

The League of Magics was created after The Ending War, a terrible multi-nation, multi-planet conflict that left multiple nations in tatters, still recovering from the effects. The League of Magics was designed to ever prevent such a massive conflict from occurring again.

Spes Nova

As the comet sails past the last known world to hold life, Spes Nova can be seen. As the sun comes over the world as the comet passes by, the snowy tops of the mountains that litter the occurring surface glisten. Just as the world is leaving view, a small dash of green is spotted. A land of new hope for a race of people created solely for war.

This world known as Jupiter's moon Callisto to humans and is the new home of the Earth Golem people. While mostly rocky without many areas of green forests or water, the Golems are slowly working on terraforming the lands to inhibit more plant growth.

This land was allocated to them by the League of Magics shortly after the league's formation. It was one of their first major acts to give recompence to the Golems who were built and created for war, who now wandered looking for a home.

The Magical Worlds

As orbiting moons of planets far from what Earth Humans call, "The Goldilocks Zone", Titan, Ganya, and many of the other Magical Worlds seem to defy most laws of physics Earth Humans thought they understood.

To the confounding of scientists, celestial bodies like Ganya, Titan, and others that should be tidally locked, are not. They instead rotate on a roughly 24-hour cycle, strangely identical to Earth's rotation. The moons also seem to experience a similar quadripartite seasonal pattern like that of earth.

Upon further examination with help from Mokandu scientists, a world-wide magical aura extends from many of these celestial bodies, excluding Earth. The aura is invisible to the eye and almost all Earth Human technologies. It is believed this magical aura is generated or harnessed through the world's cores and that it is responsible for the various world's physics-defying actions.

Even when Ganya or Titan are blocked from the sun's heat and light by their parent planet, the light of the planet itself seems to light up the world's skies, and refracts light into a similar Earth-sky blue. The tidal warming from the planet also keeps these worlds far warmer than they should, resulting in the world's relatively consistent temperatures between night and day.

Ganyan - Titan Calendar

Year

On Ganya and Titan, a year consists of 106 weeks and 2 days, or 744 days. Just over 2 Earth years. The completion of one year is the Hexannual on Ganya, and the Dodeca on Titan. After the completion of the sixth Hexannual or twelfth Dodeca respectively, is the Hexenniel and Dodecompletion, or full rotation around the sun on Ganya.

On these years, during the Days of Festivities, the festivals are bigger and more raucous than usual. The festivals are planned all year and since The Ending War, nations have come together to host international celebrations. A brief two-day period where even rival nations and races celebrate together.

To know the age of a being from Ganya in earth years, double the number of years the creature claims to be.

Month

Each month consists of 13, seven-day weeks. Each month is named for the activities or events that happen during this span of time.

Month of The One

The last month of the year is a shortened month of two weeks, and 2 days. This is the high-holy days of the year and is used by almost all races and cultures to hold religious services and make offerings to their gods. It is during this time that Kobolds and Dragonborns will make their pilgrimage to make offerings and Centaurs will begin their pilgrimage westward.

The last two days are used for celebration of the end of the year, and the completion of the Hexannual/Dodeca, or one sixth/twelfth of a rotation around the sun.

Current Date

Currently, it is the Second Week of the Month of Cultivation, in the middle of the 6th Hexannual, leading toward the Hexennial/Dodeca.

Ofra

Ofra is the name of the moon goddess in Ganya mythology. She has been attributed on Titan to the many moons they observe as well. Ofra is the name of the moon Earth Humans call, Io.

This moon is also what is used to dictate Lycanthropy on both Ganya and Titan. It is believed Ofra the moon goddess connected this celestial body with this horrid curse to try and control it. While on Ganya, lycanthropes have come to know this moon's cycle to dictate their curse, lycanthropes on Titan base their lycanthropic cycles on the position of Ofra in the night sky. Those living on Titan refer to this moon as "The Lycan Star".

Earth Calendar

Year

A Majority of Earth still uses its traditional Gregorian Calendar, a year consists of 52 weeks, or 365 days. An additional day called a leap day is added every 4th year to the end of February, however every 100th year this is skipped unless it is divisible by 400. The Earth has two traditional ages, before Common Era (B.C.E) and Common Era (C.E.) It is currently the XXXX year C.E. (JAM)

Month

Each month consists of 28 to 31 days, divided into weeks of 7 days. Each month has kept its names since well before the C.E. which spent a lot of time in flux until its final formalization in 1582 C.E. by a powerful religious leader named Pope Gregory XIII.

Current Date

Currently, it is the Second Week of the Month of Cultivation, in the middle of the 6th Hexannual, leading toward the Hexennial/Dodeca.

Life in The System

Aspects of life and society seem to permeate all corners of sentient life. Markets, trade, community, are all aspects of a culturally rich civilization. However, with seas separating continents, and the expanse of space between worlds, the daily life of any one being can be drastically different from the next.

Currency

In a universe where paper money and digital currency exists for Earth Humans, most of the magical world prefer to operate in precious metals and coins. Even Humans will take gold as payment as it holds just as much significance to them as the digital numbers on a screen.

Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Copper are all utilized in daily transaction, though copper coins are beginning to be phased out in certain communities.

Languages

All of the languages found in The Player's Handbook and Monster Manual are used throughout The System. While Common is an easily understood language to all beings, there are many unique languages spoken my small tribes or rarely seen races of people.

This setting has the following language options that can be selected any time a language or tool proficiency must be selected.

Ursidonian

Ursidonians have spread throughout the lands of Titan to the farthest, coldest, and most dangerous corners of the world. This language uses heavy grunts and deep breaths and exhales to convey emotions. To those unfamiliar with the language, two Ursidonians having a pleasant conversation may sound like intimidating roars and shouts.

Kronation

This is a long dead language believed to have belonged to a rogue god of the pantheon. It was spoken by the people known as Kronations who were said to be insectoid like in nature, bipedal, with glowing yellow eyes. This language can be found still spoken by some Tieflings on the Trislands. The language is spoken through the gut and throat to create high-pitched screeching noises.

Krawlling

Krawlling is the language of, unsurprisingly, the Krawlling. These insectoid beings tend to not speak with their mouths and tend to utilize psionic telepathy to communicate with others of their kind.

Chitter

Chitter is a language originating from the Mustels of Titan. However, their unique language found itself being spoken by other small beastfolk. It uses snarls, coos, and growls in its composition and tends to be difficult for non-beastfolk to speak.

Meepish

Meepish is a high-pitched language consisting almost entirely of the word, "Meep." The different inflections when saying the word conveys the majority of the context. To a non-Meepish speaker, saying "Meep" with the wrong tone can result in terrible consequences.

History and Myth of The System

The history of The System, is really a story of Ganya and Titan's parallel lives before their first encounter with one another. Much of The System's history is isolated between the various planets, and thus is divided into three histories of events.

Earth follows a timeline identical to ours until the year 1800 CE, where our paths begin to diverge. This section will explore the various histories of the worlds independently, until the point where they collide with another world.

Like most civilizations though, an exact history of the world is not known. Only what has been discovered, deciphered, and concluded from Myrencean archeologists and Elvish scholars shed light on the history of Ganya. On Titan, Mokandu scientists and artifact hunters have unearthed incredible relics of the past to teach them about their Founders.

However, even with historical evidence and magical artifacts showing contradiction to the established mythos of the world, hardly anyone outside of extremely niche circles know the true story about the beginnings of Ganya, Titan, and The System.

The Apex Creations - Ganya

The cumulative pantheon of deities on Ganya and the worshipping of them are simply known as The Way. The story of The Way begins with an omnipotent, formless being known solely as The One. The One was born from nothing, and existed in nothingness until the very moment it thought to create. It divided its essence into dozens of pieces creating what are called, The Sorcerers. The most powerful Sorcerer was Apex, believed to be comprised the most out of The One.

Once this division happened, the many Sorcerers began to create life and matter, giving birth to the universe and everything in it. The gods built the glass sphere around The System to protect it from the chaos of The Void, a plane of chaos and madness that chooses nothing but destruction. It is believed at one point this sphere broke and its remnants are what the humans call the "Ort Cloud". It was inside of here they worked together built the Great Star, lighting the way for them to build Ganya.

Their first creations are a great mystery to those who currently live on Ganya. It is known a race of people existed on the world before the elves first arrived on Austrialus Majora, but their details are scarce. Religious archeologists have uncovered remnants of tales of what happened to these people, in a myth known as "The First Kind".

The Time Before

According to the myths, and supported by archeological evidence, before the elves arrived from the Feywild a race of ancient Myrenceans existed across Ganya. The remains of their massive structures can be seen to this day in the form of The Bridged Isles, a chain of islands all connected together by massive, miles-long stone bridges. Depictions of massive dragons are seen drawn across stone hastily and without precise detail. Many believe these drawings were made while these people were being attacked by the most ancient and powerful of dragons, to try and leave some sort of tale behind.

Archeological theologians have pieced together through these drawing that the ancient dragons were once protectors of Ganya and slowly began to stop protecting and started dominating. The reason for their betrayal is unknown to this day, but the domination and rule of these dragons nearly destroyed the world as a whole. The Sorcerers selected powerful champions to wield some of their mightiest weapons to help fight back against the dragons.

In the end, the Sorcerers and the First Kind pushed back the dragons to another world and trapped them there. Locking their strongest creations behind a wall that no mortal knew how to open.

The remaining heroes of the First Kind retreated into obscurity, and the Sorcerers threw down their Divine Armaments and vowed to never again, so hastily create life. It is unknown exactly how long the gods took to begin creating their next offspring, the Elves, but when they did, they did not bring them to Ganya right away.

The Elves were left to develop and mature in the Feywild, while Ganya was prepared for their arrival. After nearly two generations living in the plane of the fey, the Sorcerers brought them to their new home of Ganya, in the center of what would be known as the Kong-Gier Jungle.

The central group of elves explored their massive continent, from the eastern sands of the Criton Desert to the open fields and roving hills of the Orlan Kingdom. This diversified the elves, creating many of the different subspecies known today.

As the Elves discovered their new lands, The Sorcerers seeded the rest of their Ganya with a plethora of other races. Originating from somewhere in the central hills of the continent of Myrencea, Dwarves were birthed, followed by human-like beings known as Myrenceans. The dwarves were stout, sturdy, and tough while the myrenceans were innovative, resourceful and adaptable. Soon after their birth the dwarves headed eastward to explore the rest of the large forests of eastern Myrencea and the mountain ranged of Montis. The Myrenceans traveled west towards more fertile grassland and eventually reached the western coast of Myrencea and even some traversed the deadly and dangerous Endless Strait.

The Sorcerers enjoyed these three creations so much that they seeded the world with variants of these humanoid forms. Thus began a rapid amount of creation from the Sorcerers, birthing giants, halflings, gnomes, orcs and hobgoblins. Many halflings traveled west while Giants, Orcs and Hobgoblins stayed in this central land.

The three major islands to the north of Myrencea, known as the Trislands, were also home to life. A sorcerer known as Kronos was jealous of Apex's creations and wished to build his own race. It is said by some that Kronos based his creation on the devils of the hells to spite Apex. Other scholars contest this, as it would imply the existence of the hells before the existence of the Sorcerers. He called them Tieflings. Skin tones ranging in color contrasted to the gradient scale of dark and light Apex had used. He gave them tails, forked tongues, cloven feet, or even wings. Soon after he made his creation, it is believed he fled from the gods, fleeing to the furthest planet from Sol, known now as Kronos, or Pluto.

Innate to all of these creatures was a connection to The Weave, the intangible, inaccessible plane of infinite magic that fuels spells and arcane magics. Many scholars believe this plane is a byproduct of the Plane of Pandemonium. Harnessing the raw chaos of that plane into magical energy that all beings from these worlds and different planes can access.

The trio of Sorcerers known as The Scaled Creators created the newer, less powerful dragons than their predecessors. The mighty winged creatures with shimmering scales of chromatic, metallic, and gem colors created a race based off of themselves, known as the Dragonborn and Kobolds.

Once The Sorcerers rebuilt their world, and seeded it with their various monstrous and beautiful creations, they returned to their home behind the Celestial Gate and sealed themselves behind a wall to watch their creations blossom and mature into something greater.

Over the millennias, the ancient bond and connection that these creatures has faded. Tribes became kingdoms, which became cities which became nations. The history of their shared births fell from memory, until only what was written in stone could be saved. And even then, it barely stands. The Dragons died out, not being seen for over a thousand years, and the hope of a beautiful and blossoming world soon devolved into politics, war, hate, and greed.

The Birth of Life - Titan

Contrasted to the all encompassments of Ganya's creation tale, the story of Titan is rather small in scope. While many tribes and communities may contend with different creation myths, most on this world believe the following to be the birth of their home.

The Earthen Mother was the first god to come across Titan. It is never stated where the Earthen Mother came from, or if there were other powerful beings like herself. She saw the moon and felt compelled to begin creating life on it. She changed the barren satellite into a fertile green land filled with natural beauty from coast to coast. Oceans filled the valleys and forests sprouted from the lands as life filled the world and fresh air permeated the atmosphere.

After she built her stunning landscape, she began to create the various beasts that roamed the lands. Yak, buffalo, bears, lions, wolves, turtles, tortoises and everything else. The forests, plains, oceans, and rivers bustled with life and chittered with contentment.

While it is unknown if there was a father that was unmentioned, or if the Earthen Mother can reproduce on her own, but she then gave birth to a fully grown young man, known only as The First Son. He saw his mother's beautiful creations across the world and one by one began to give them the gift of knowledge, and sentience. Turtles and tortoises began to grow in size and walk upright, bovine animals developed humanoid-like bodies, and many equines sprouted a human-like torso atop them. Birds flying in the skies experienced a similar expansion of intelligence and bodily transformation. While civilizations formed at different times, it is believed all sentience and the various beastfolk that live on Titan, awoke on this single day.

To help divide the responsibilities of handling his creations' souls, The First Son founded The Tribunal of Judgment, a group of five beings infused with his power that were a natural personification of an area of Titan. The Tribunal consists of Little Fish, the Rainbow Serpent, The Eagle, The Wolf of the Prairie, and The Deciding Flame. Each represents a different part of the world of Titan and when a soul dies, these all-seeing deities decide the fate of the each soul.

Together, this small pantheon rules over the entire world of Titan and unlike the Ganyan pantheon, believers on Titan do not believe in the idea of a Celestial Gate (a self-imposed exile from the material plane by the Sorcerers). Most on titan would tell you that The Earthen Mother is the core of world itself, constantly watching and interjecting at all times.

Bridging the Two

When two cultures meet with opposing religious ideologies, it can often lead to bloodshed. The deities on Ganya and Titan vary in their level of significance in every0day life on the two worlds. On Ganya, religious services are held often by the different temples and tributes or tithes to these churches are common. On Titan, there are temples and churches dedicated to The Earthen Mother, as well as the various deities, but service and tithing or not nearly as common. When these two worlds first met, the potential for a religious crusade by one side or the other was incredibly high.

It was through cultural integration and scholarly discussions in churches that lead to an intertwining of the two pantheons. To most on Titan, these meant little, as their faith was not shaken or changed by the existence of other beings. On Ganya, new Sorcerers were added to the pantheon as, "Newly founded ancient secrets". Some on Ganya will worship The Earthen Mother or The First Son, but this is very rare.

First Contact

Roughly 42 Hexannual ago, or 500 Earth years, both Titan and Ganya discovered how to utilize the magic of Skyships, to levitate them outside of orbit, with a safe zone of breathable air and livable pressurization. The two began using this new artifice to rapidly move between locations on their world without needing an arcanist to teleport, but it soon evolved into full-blown space exploration.

Ships from Ganya headed toward their next largest neighbor, known as Amdore, while space sailors on Titan went toward their largest neighbor, Big Fish.

In less than 70 years after discovering space flight, the two worlds crossed paths and began to learn from one another. For two years this discovery led to an influx of travelers from Titan to Ganya and vice versa. New achievements in artifice and arcane magics exploded. All was well, and that false sense of security is what lead to the greatest war The System had ever seen.

During the time Skyships were being utilized for space travel, the formation of lands known as Alivar began building an incredible weapon of war to use against their neighbors, whom they had been constantly battling and skirmishing with for centuries.

Two years after first contact with Ganya occurs, war strikes.

The Ending War

Throughout the history of Ganya, Titan, and Earth, war has been a constant. As magic and technology evolve so does war. These words ring no truer than The Ending War.

Those of Alivar had often found The Arcane Realms to be cruel, elitist, and condescending to the struggling nation. For centuries the two nations had battled over the fertile lands of Graze and Mazen, and sometimes the incursions made their way to just a hundred miles from the Arcane Realm's capital.

However, these skirmishes and battles were simply that. Battles. Full-scale warfare had not been seen for over a thousand years between any nation. But when it finally struck the world once more, both worlds were left devastated.

Alivar had been working on a secret project for centuries, creating powerful Golems out of nothing more than dirt and earth. These killing machines tore through The Arcane Realms' defenses and with a surprise attack, the golems ran rampant through the land. Not only did they attack from the land, but it had also been revealed that Alivar had created skyships built with incredible arcane cannons capable of smiting flying mounts or decimating towns below.

Seeing an opportunity for their own expansion, the Witches of the Trilands, invaded The Arcane Realms as well, in an alliance with Alivar. With forces invading from the north, and an unknown weapon tearing in from the east, The Arcane Realms asked for help from their allies to the south, the elves of Austrialus Majora.

Seeking to aid their new friends as well, the Gryffons and Centaurs both saw what little forces they had to aid Alivar. And almost as if it were a domino falling in line, this lack of military presence led Kaladai, the minotaurs of the northern continent to invade Astreus and Cerul to claim dominion over half of the world.

The war raged for over 30 years, with both sides ceasing to get more of a foothold over the other after the initial invasion. Resources were drained from all sides, but with the might of the Earth Golems, and their lack of need for food, Alivar was confident they could hold out longer.

On Titan, Kaladai blew past the Gryffons on a warpath to the southern end of the continent into the kingdom of the Centaurs. The invaders of the wars seemed to be winning, until either a miracle, or an arcanomechanical anomaly occurred.

The Earth Golems that had been built for war by Alivar, gained their own sentience. Constructs built for the sole purpose of death and destruction learned to think for themselves. Not all Golems gained this sentience at once, and occurred over a number of days, but once they gained sentience, they immediately sought revenge for their enslavement and rebelled against their masters. The tide of these golems was so strong, that without their use in the war machine, and subsequent allying with The Arcane Realms, both Alivar and Witches of The Trislands were pushed from The Arcane Realms in just under two years.
After rebelling against their masters and breaking their shackles, the Gryffons and Centaurs on Ganya begged the Golems to help push back the minotaurs of Kaladai.

Being asked politely and not being forced to do so, the golems agreed to help, and unleashed their fury upon the Minotaurs. Without their shackles to Alivar and minds of their own, their combat capabilities flourished, ending The Ending War in only three years.

Nations of Ganya

In the League of Magics setting, airships and air travel are very prevalent. Although this travel system is not for the poor, traversing from city to city is quicker and more accessible than in other D&D settings. The world of Ganya is brimming with life and interesting locations, here is a sample of some of the most notable nations and kingdoms in the land.

The Arcane Realms

Located on the western most part of the supercontinent Myrencea, this is the only democratically run nation in Ganya. This nation is also home to the Citadel of Magics, the military headquarters for all races included within the League of Magics, an inter-planetary coalition of races working for stability.

The Arcane Realms have always had a tense relationship with their neighbor to the east, Alivar. Since both of the nations’ founding, they have fought over the fertile crop lands of Maze and Grazen. However, the events of the Ending War have left the two closed off from one another for many years, with very little to no travel between the two nations.

Alivar

Placed between the Dwarven lands of Montis to the east and their bitter rivals The Arcane Realms to the west, lies the savage lands of Alivar. This massive span of roving hills and endless plains homes a tyrannical and power focused civilization. Instigators of The Ending War, they were punished severely for their crimes by nations of Titan and Ganya alike and now have many citizens and cities in destitution

The Dwarven Kingdoms

The Dwarves were once united as a single clan, until they reached the furthest edges of the Montis Forest. It was here the one clan split into two, still united under one cause but now two kingdoms, fighting together. Those who remained in the forest known as the Forest Dwarves, and those who continued into the mountains further east became the Mountain Dwarves and Hill Dwarves. Those who abandoned both and fled downwards toward the Underdark became the Duergar.

Montis is split between a massive forest, and massive mountain scape, covering the lands. Ancient relics, artifacts, and dangerous ruins can all be found within the forest, or mountains.

The Dragon/Tropics Peninsula

On a large peninsula to the south of the Dwarven Mountain Kingdom lies The Dragon Peninsula to those that live there. To others, it is known as the Tropics Peninsula. This tropical segment of Ganya is filled with an allied group of Kobolds and Dragonborn. However, this peninsula has been under the rule of The Mountain Dwarves for several hundred years.

On Ganya, Dragons have only recently returned to the world after Ormut the Ancient Void Dragon unleashed hundreds of dragons across the world from a mysterious portal. Some have returned to the Peninsula, giving hope that the dragon-kind may rise up from their oppressed position in the world.

The Trislands

These three islands are connected by a land bridge to the furthest north of them. Just over a thousand years ago, the women of the tribes that inhabited these frigid lands rebelled against their male counterparts in a single night of mass rebellion. From that day forth, the lands have been inhabited solely by women reproducing via a mystical ritual of two partners, or via breeding slaves imported from around the world.

These lands are dangerous for me to enter, but passage and proper papers for men can be purchased at ports to the south of the islands.

Austrialus Majora

The home of the elves and where the birth of civilization started. In the center of the large continent lies the Kong Gier Jungle, where the first elves came from the Feywild, into the Prime material. From there, the elves spread across this continent and created some of the first civilizations. Due to The Endless Strait being the only land bridge connecting to Myrencea, few Myrenceans ever found their way that far south. It was the elves who made the trek through the endless strait and discovered Myrencea and those that lives there, bringing rise to the Half-Elves.

The Nations of Titan

Kaladai

The Kingdom of Mino is believed to be the birthplace of the 4 Ancient Races. It was here The First Prince laid out his creations to begin their exploration of the world. Minotaurs made this land their home and built their first city with the help of the other races. Gryffon, Centaur, and Loxodon esthetics can all be found here.

After centuries, all but the Minotaurs left to find a new place to call home. The lands left to the Minotaurs became known as the States of Kaladai

Erhaus

The northern half of the lower continent of Titan is Erhaus, home of the Gryffons. Erhaus is home to the kingdom of Astreus, a massive city with a large land mass floating above it, creating its upper-class district and home to the royal family.

Recently, a terrorist attack temporarily disabled all magic in the kingdom, causing the floating land mass to crash into the water beneath. Thousands perished when masked forces attacked, seeking a prized artifact. The land mass is floating once again, but massive damage has been done to the city and its structures. Reconstruction projects have been underway for some time now.

Ire’Gi

The lower half of this continent is home to the Kingdom of Cerul. Cerul is the home of Centaurs whom live mostly peacefully. Their last involvement in war was the deadly Ending War, where they were left with no choice but to defend from foreign invaders.

Centaurs live a religious and nature-attuned life, making The Great Migration as a rite of passage, where young Centaurs must travel the continent to a massive holy city in the center of the Ire’Gi Wood.

Rada Vasseen

Home to the most arcana-technologically advanced civilization on Titan, this desert continent can be unforgiving, but extremely lucrative. The city of Mokandu is the home of Loxodons, but has seen a large influx of Earth Humans in recent years. Many of the races on Titan were excited to meet Humans and learn about their technology. Humans have worked hand in hand with Loxodon arcanist and artificers to create many inventions.

The large desert is also home to many nomadic clans of Tabaxi and Yuan-ti. Over the past 10 years, the military forces of Mokandu have begun attacking and eliminating Tabaxi settlements to make way for new industrial expansion.

The Human Colonies

These colonies were gifted to the Humans as part of an integration program, incorporating humans into Titan lifestyle. There are 5 Colonies, each exhibiting a mish-mash of cultures that make up the populace there. New Geneva, Bruce Revels, Atarashi Tokyo, Confederacy of African Nations, and Falfou.

These nations are highly industrial but also incredibly energy efficient and clean. Part of the agreement of Earth Humans being allowed settlements was the abandonment of their harmful gases and smokes, forcing these humans to rely entirely on solar, wind, and other renewable energy resources. There has also been extensive research done in Artarshi Tokyo of harnessing arcane magical energy for electricity.

The Serpent’s Maw

This collection of islands is home to the various aquatic races of Titan. No one race claims ownership of the islands, but are instead a shared collection of lands by various tribes. Just under a thousand years ago, a collection of Tortles, Water Genasi, Earth Genasi, and Yuan-Ti, originating from a central island in the maw sailed across the waters of the maw to invite the disparate tribes to unite under a single confederacy.

No one outside of the elders of these tribes know how this group was able to unite so many tribes. Currently, the capital of this confederacy is Terraqua, the large rocky island in the center of the Serpent's Maw.

Religion: Ganya

The name of the predominant religion on Ganya is called The Way. It is the belief that a supreme being named The One divided itself into the first race of creators known simply as The Sorcerers.

These are seen and treated as gods and have an entire pantheon devoted to the various aspects of life and existence in The System. It is these Sorcerers that are believed to have created all life on Ganya and beyond, and locked themselves behind a Celestial Gate after their creation. The most worshipped Sorcerers are known as the "Greater Sorcerers".

Amdore - Sorcerer of the Elements

Amdore, also known as the Elementalist, is believed to have separated his form, much like The One, into the five elements; Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Ki. He separated himself into these different elements to better control each one. Each form is different, and has a unique personality. Fire is fickle and short tempered. Water is calm and peaceful. Earth is stoic and logical. Air is energetic and free flowing. And Ki is highly spiritual and believed to be the true form of Amdore.

Scholars of The Way contend that during this separation, 5 points on Ganya became home to the different elements, creating the first known rifts to the elements’ various elemental planes. However, a rift to the Plane of Ki, has yet to be discovered. Those who worship Amdore typically chose a specific element to worship in particular. His temples are divided into 4 elemental sections, with the element of Ki permeating through all.

During The Time Before Amdore created three sets of powerful shortswords designed for certain followers attuned with his final element, ki. The Swords of Stone and Wind, Swords of Flame and Frozen, and Swords of Amdore's Final Elemental contain immense power that is even more deadly in the hands of certain monks.

Divine Domains. Clerics of Amdore are often found with the powers of Nature and Tempest.

Appearance. The depiction of Amdore varies depending on the culture of the people worshiping him. In all forms, he is seen as a shirtless Myrencean in excellent physique with a black kamata and orange beaded belt. His long hair starts black at the roots but grows into four individually flowing manes of hair that shift into four different colors. The red, yellow, green, and blue manes are meant to represent the elements of fire, air, earth, and water.

High Holy Day. Most across Ganya acknowledge the holiday devoted to Amdore of "The Long Walk", but very few participate in its observation. This pilgrimage is typically for those seeking to become clerics of a particular element of Amdore, or those seeking a greater connection to a particular element. The observation includes long pilgrimages to locations of intense elemental power held in temples, and typically occurs during the Month of the One.

Apex - Sorcerer of Creation

Apex, or The Divine Creator, was chosen by The One to create Ganya. He is believed to have turned himself into the planet Ganya orbits to observe his beloved children. The "Eye" of Apex is believed to be the physical manifestation of Apex's vision, though Earth humans contend this is some sort of weather-based phenomenon.

According to clerics of Apex, under his leadership, the world of Ganya was transformed, given magic, and chosen to be the home of his greatest creations. It was his vision that led the Greater Sorcerers to turn the barren rocks of the moons into beautiful and lush worlds.

Apex was responsible for the creation of two Divine Armaments, the Hammer of Creation and the Rod the led One. The Rod of the One is believed to have a spark of the primordial entity responsible for all creation in the universe and beyond simply known as, The One.

Divine Domains. Clerics of Apex are often found with the powers of Order, the Forge, .

Appearance. Apex takes the form of the follower's race when being prayed to or when appearing in visions to devout followers. Regardless of race, he is seen floating in space in a set of white plate mail armor with golden inlays and engravings made with divine gold. On his back is a long white cloak that reaches his legs.

High Holy Days. The last month of the Ganyan calendar is a shortened month of two weeks, and 2 days. This is the high-holy days of the year and is used by almost all races and cultures to hold religious services and make offerings to their gods. The last two days are used for celebration of the end of the year, and the completion of the Hexannual/Dodeca, or one sixth/twelfth of a rotation around the sun. Apex is worshiped exclusively around the world for these final two days.

Arwick - Sorcerer of Conflict and Chaos

Arwick is the son of Dyyora the Sorcerer of Death and Wuhzar the Sorcerer of Madness. He takes more after his father, Wuhzar, giving in to his chaotic birthright. He is believed to be an avid trickster and enjoys causing and creating conflict on Ganya. From verbal arguments to wars and battles, Arwick is often attributed to these issues. While seen as a trickster and chaotic, he is not seen as evil, but the inevitable outcome of life as social creatures.

Few temples exist to this Sorcerer in modern times but some ancient shrines across Ganya can be found in ruins. Small idols depicting Arwick are found in temples of other Sorcerers, left as tricks and pranks by other followers.

Divine Domains. Those who worship Arwick find themselves gravitating towards the powers of Trickery, Tempest, and Nature.

Appearance. Arwick is seen as a strong humanoid man wearing hide armor. He has short cut black hair and carries a Divine Armament known as the * Arwick Shifting Axe hefted over his shoulder. While the race of this Sorcerer changes with culture, he is shown to always have a grin or smirk on his face, as if there is always something he knows beyond what you do. To those on Titan, this Sorcerer is said to bear a strong resemblance to the god known as "The Ancient Predator" but with more alligator-like features.

High Holy Days. During the Month of the One followers of Arwick, either individually or as a group that have found each other, will engage in pranks, escalating complexity and severity. There are very few ardent Arwick followers anymore, but if enough find each other at one time, the pranks and chaos that befall a community can bring its downfall from the chaos.

Dyyora - Sorcerer of Death

Dyyora is the twin sister of Livera, tasked with taking away the creation of life by her brother. Worship of Dyyora does not mean worshiping death, or hoping for its arrival. Instead, death is observed as the natural part of life that must be respected and adhered to. Death gives way for life, for without it, life would soon become unbearable. The fate of a world without death is the fate of a world that will pray for it.

Undeath becomes tricky for most in this domain. While some clerics see the use of undeath and why Dyyora would grant this boon to her followers, others see it as a test and temptation to be avoided. The use of undeath in a cleric's work varies from person to person.

Divine Domains. Worshipers of Dyyora tend to stick to the domain of Death.

Appearance. Dyyora is depicted as a beautiful, black haired myrencean woman with pale white skin, and an Iron Raven by her side. She wears long black robes that drag behind her that are a jet black, almost giving the appearance of nothingness. The top of her robes are massive black feathers that rise up like monochromatic peacock feathers. In her hands is a powerful weapon, but not a Divine Armament. This six-foot-tall magical iron quarterstaff is known as the "Staff of Death". It has not been seen since ancient times on Ganya, but its presence is known to have existed after The Time Before.

High Holy Days. During the Month of the One followers of Dyyora, tend to take a month of silence to listen to the sounds of those who have died and give their respects.

Fareeha - Sorcerer of Health and Alchemy

While Apex is known to be the strongest and one of the most powerful sorcerers, Fareeha is by far the most intelligent. It was through her gifts that the other gods learned of the healing properties of their divine powers, and she became the founder of all healing magic.

Over time, many alchemists and traditionally non-divine shamans and medicine men came to worship Fareeha directly to help aid in their medical endeavors. Even some human doctors have taken to wearing a pendant of her emblem; A pair of asps swirling around a potion bottle.

Fareeha's followers are not as evangelical, plentiful, or outwardly showing off their devotion. This is not from a sense of shame or fear however as many followers simply use their devotion to her for a sense of guidance and security. A few clerics and some artificers have been known to call upon her power of alchemy to create potent medicines for their allies.

Divine Domains. Fareeha typically rules over the domains of Medicine, Life, and Knowledge.

Appearance. Fareeha's appearance resembles a tall curvaceous woman with olive-tone skin wearing long kalasiris that draped past her feet. On her hip is a shimmering golden sash with red trim and a golden chest plate with a red cloth underneath. Depending on the followers who erected the monument or drew the art piece, Fareeha is depicted holding one of two items.

If the followers are more traditional clerics seeking Fareeha's help in using divine magic to aid others, she is often seen with a fiery red staff with the head of a red-eyed cobra. If the followers are more inspired by traditional medicine and alchemy, she is seen with either a vase, potion bottle, or floating liquid. All of which are accompanied by a blue motif.

High Holy Days. The worship of Fareeha is often not widely celebrated or done with much fanfare. Those who worship her tend to take the High Holy Days to offer healing services for free or display random acts of kindness in their community.

Flelune - Sorcerer of Peace and Justice

Flelune is the middle child of the group known as the Three Sisters which includes Ijuva and Yuris. This trio of siblings rule over their respective domains but all have an intrinsic link to one another. It is not uncommon to find a worshiper of Flelune also worshiping the other sisters as well.

As the middle child, Flelune looks to her eldest sister Yuris for wisdom and guidance on matters of justice and to her younger sister Ijuva for matters of love and peace. The duality of both the love needed to harbor peace and the stern rigidness needed to maintain order and justice gives to two main groups of followers.

While a large portion of clerics of Flelune are those of peace and serenity, there are just as many clerics and paladins who focus more on her influence to maintain order in times of chaos.

Divine Domains. Flelune’s influence can be felt in the domains of Peace and Order.

Appearance. Flelune is a beautiful woman with long flowing hair divided in color along the center of her head with a calming sky blue on her left and fiery ginger red on her right. She is often depicted on her knees in a praying stance looking upwards while a blindfold covers her eyes. An array of colors radiates from underneath the blindfold and the themes of her hair radiate from each side of her.

She is believed to constantly be in a position of prayer and concentration, focusing on maintaining the balance of peace and chaos.

High Holy Days. During these times the two main factions of Flelune followers, the Eirinkos and Eirinfits, will join together with other followers of the three sisters. The Eirinkos will often help with celebration with the Eirinfits maintain order during the festivities.

Ijuva - Sorcerer of Familial, Plutonic, and Romantic Love

Ijuva is the youngest of the Three Sisters. Being the youngest she was always filled with more curiosity and wonder than her older sisters. While her eldest sister Yuris was steady and deliberate and her next eldest peaceful and calm, Ijuva was more energetic and spontaneous.

Much like love, Ijuva and her worshippers can be unpredictable and fickle. Sometimes the love of Ijuva can keep a struggling family together through the darkest and toughest times of their lives. But sometimes the romantic love she provides to the people of the world can lead to heartache, suffering, and pain.

This is the nature of Ijuva's domain, being a source of happiness and joy, the disdain of others who have been scorned, and fiery passion that can drive all peoples to incredible acts.

Divine Domains. Ijuva is believed to rule over the domains of Peace, Trickery, and War.

Appearance. The Sorcerer of Love does not depict traditional red and pink color normally associated with the heart and love. Instead, calming turquoise and cerulean blue colors comprise most of her robes and many depictions show her skin holding a bluish hue.

Her hair is long and the color of a cloudless sky and will be seen holding a Divine Armament known as the Gems of Longing. They are two bright, iridescent gems that when held can imbue the wielder with the powers and strengths that love provides. She is often shown holding one gem while another acts as a pin holding her lower robe up.

High Holy Days. Throughout the high holy days, many worshipers of Ijuva celebrate by providing gifts to family members, friends, and loved ones during this time. Many proposals and weddings occur during this time all around Ganya. Other followers will jointly celebrate with worshippers of Osim, engaging in libations and acts of love for an entire fortnight.

Livera - Sorcerer of Life and Birth

The twin brother of Dyorra the Sorcerer of Death. He is constantly bickering with his sister as he creates the spark of life on Ganya and The System only for his sister to inevitably destroy it with death. It is a battle the two have been having since the dawn of creation. He is often seen associated with Fareeha and Apex. Apex worked closely with Livera to give all creations life and Fareeha often partnered with him to better craft alchemy from The Weave.

While Lvera is never happy with his older sister's antics, he begrudgingly understands the need for death to occur, otherwise life could become untenable.

Livera is believed to reside behind the Celestial Gate on the Plane of Positive Energy alongside Fareeha. While many followers of Livera use the power of Positive Energy to heal those around them and sustain life, others have felt the need to pursue undeath to sustain whatever inkling of life they can hold on to. Followers of Livera often find undeath and necromancy a way of sustaining the spark of life that Livera provides, no matter how faint.

Divine Domains. Livera rules over the domains of Life, and some bloodlines chosen by him can carry a connection to his powers. Servants of his are known to make pacts with new followers as well.

Appearance. Like his sister, Livera has pale white skin and almost silver-white blond hair. Though much shorter, the resemblance between him and his sister is uncanny, down to the dual-colored eyes, although his right eye is blue and left eye is red, as opposed to the opposite sides seen on Dyorra.

High Holy Days. Throughout the weeks of the high holy days, followers of Livera actually take part in often death-defying stunts and other dangerous activities. Followers call this the "Tug of Life-and-Death" believing Livera and Dyorra to be tugging on the lives of the people on Ganya between life and death. These exciting activities are to remind followers to experience as much as they can while their spark of life remains lit.

Ofra - Sorcerer of The Great Moon

Of the many moons that surround Apex and can be seen in the night sky of Ganya, it is Ofra that holds the most sway in the night sky. This moon tracks lycanthropy on the world and is so potent that even lycanthropic curses on Titan are swayed by "The Savage Star".

Ofra, also known as the Everwatching Witness, is an often silent deity that does not speak with her worshippers often. She is sometimes considered a sorcerer of clockwork predictability due to the clockwork nature of the moon and The System's cycles. Her messages most often come as portents in the moon and through visions of lunatics. This makes her messages difficult to decipher and some think she does not actually speak at all.

Divine Domains. Ofra rules over the domains of Twilight and Knowledge. Her title as the Everwatching Witness has many believe she accumulates all knowledge she watches at night.

Appearance. Ofra is most often depicted as a slim and slender woman with long-flowing jet-black hair that reaches far past her feet. She is often shown in artwork hovering above the world of Ganya with her hair cascading down and outward from her, with the moon itself behind her. She watches from afar with her mouth closed and her gaze constantly fixed on the world.

High Holy Days. Those that seek to give praise to Ofra during the high holy days will spend many of those nights outside under the moon. Some do this to feel a closer connection to her, while others hope to be imparted with universal wisdom and become lunatics.

Osim - Sorcerer of Joy, Festivals, and Vices

Osim has been a thorn in the side of many other Sorcerers due to his playful and raucous nature. It is rumored that he interfered with Artollo during a hunt, and thus Artollo asked Yuris for help to get back Osim. The two schemed together and cursed Osim with furry goat-like legs, cloven hooved hands, and horns much like a satyr.

Osim refused to learn his lesson and simply devised a hat to fit atop his horns where he could place his mugs of ale with long straws at the bottom of them so he may sip on his delights even without needing to use his hands.

Many followers of Osim will wear these hats in honor and worship of him.

Divine Domains. Osim rules over the domains of Light, Prism, and Trickery. Osim is worshiped by many tricksters and playful people looking to get the most out of life. Many gnolls who do not worship The Laughing Prince worship Osim.

Appearance. Before Osim's transformation it is believed he was a stunningly handsome Myrecnean-looking man with a muscular physique. After his transformation he looks part-goat with hooves for hands but not his feet. He also had a large gut that protrudes over his toga.

High Holy Days. Many worshippers of other Sorcerers will often find themselves sneaking into the ceremonies to Osim during the High Holy Days. For thousands of years the worshippers of Osim have gathered outside of their cities, towns, and villages to have a two-week long festival. It is known throughout The System that these celebrations are so intense and full of debauchery, deaths have been known to occur from over-consuming alcohol and other substances found on Ganya.

Trikron - Sorcerer of Oceans and Marine Life

The master of oceans and the creatures that dwell within it, Trikron can be seen as a peaceful and benevolant sorcerer that gives the bounty of the ocean to the people of the land. At the same time, he can be seen as the lord of storms, responsible for the shipwrecks, crashes, and the horrid monsters that lurk below the surface.

His attitude is often boisterous and booming to match the thunder of the storm and speaks to his subjects through the sounds of a thunderstorm or the waves of the ocean.

Trikron rules over the various oceans and seas on the world of Ganya, and is believed to have created the various marine life throughout the world. He is credited with the creation of aquatic beasts, as well as aquatic aberrations and monstrosities.

Divine Domains. Trikron rules over the domains of Nature, The Open Seas, and Tempest.

Appearance. Trikron is often shown as a wave in the shape of a humanoid, wearing an ever-shifting cloak made of water, and an Aqueous Halo, a Divine Armament.

High Holy Days. Many sailors, pirates and otherwise, worship Trikron during the high holy days. Many cities around the world on islands or on the coast send out flying lanterns with prayers written to Trikron and set them out over the oceans. The lantern displays in some cities can be seen from dozens of miles away.

Yuris - Sorcerer of Wisdom, Nature, & Wildlife

The eldest of The Three Sisters, Yuris serves as a guiding elder to not only Ijuva and Flelune, but to their followers as well. While many worship The Three Sisters together, the largest group of followers are to Yuris.

Druids across Ganya and even natural born Titan residents have come to worship Yuris for the bounty and gifts she brings to communities and the world. Druids worship her connection to nature while clerics seek her wisdom and guidance on holy matters.

Yuris's arms spread so wide that she is considered one of the most powerful deities amongst many of her followers on the Trislands.

Divine Domains. Yuris rules over the domains of Nature, Knowledge, and Light.

Appearance. Yuris is typically depicted lounging on a cloud in the evening sky overlooking her creations below on the world of Ganya.

High Holy Days. Followers of Yuris will often meet with followers of Fareeha and Livera to complete good deeds and travel together to find those in need of aid. Druids of Yuris will go on massive tree-planting missions across the world of Ganya.

Lesser Sorcerers

The Lesser Sorcerers were responsible for specific aspects or more minute details of the creation of Ganya. Some are beings that were born from Greater Sorcerers, others are ancient beings that predate or grew laterally to the Sorcerers, and others are beings that have amassed incredible powers and wish to share them with the various worlds.

While they are considered, "Lesser", this is more of a title, rather than level of power

Rogue Pantheon

During the time the Sorcerers were building their creations, some of these Sorcerers had different visions. Twisted mockeries of life and beauty and creating horrible aberrations.

These Sorcerers are viewed as evil and are worshiped by disparate cults or power-hungry madmen and mages.

Kobold & Dragonborn Deities

Dragonborn and Kobolds come from a small peninsula on Ganya called "Dragon's Peninsula". This is the name given by the inhabitants there, but the region is known as the "Tropics Peninsula" to the rest of the world. While the peninsula is primarily inhabited by Dragonborn, is peninsula owned by the Mountain Dwarves to the north.

Their pantheon is smaller than the rest of the world around them, though there is a general consensus among scholars that these dragon entities are simply draconic retellings of the stories from The Way.

Religion: Titan

The various races on Titan all vary in the deities they worship. However, naturalism takes a higher precedent than almost all dogma. The Wild Mother is believed to be the sole creator of the contents within the universe.

Races on Titan have no formal mythos for the creation of the universe itself, simply the contents within it. There is a ranging pantheon for each race of people, however, there are a few core deities that are prevalent throughout the societies.

The Earthen Mother

To those on Ganya, many equate her to being the amalgamation of "The Three Sisters". Ever since Ganya and Titan first encountered one another, the two have respected each other's pantheon, creating correlations between the two.

The First Son

Believed to be the first born of the Earthen Mother, the First Son is worshiped as the creator of civilization and brought the races of titan from savage beasts to intelligent and sapient beings. He is worshiped as the god of Knowledge, Invention, Creativity, and the Arts.

The Tribunal of Judgement

These 5 deities are worshiped in tandem. Each represents a different part of the world of Titan. When a soul dies, these all-seeing deities decide the fate of the soul of each being.

The Shepherd

This is a deity believed to have been created from The Tribunal of Judgement. The Shepard takes many forms depending on the soul. It typically takes on the form of the most trusted person in the soul’s life. His job is to herd the soul to its proper afterlife location. Whether that be The Wasted Waters (The afterlife plane of hell. A barren, swampy wasteland with dead vegetation and wandering souls, forever searching for their way out), or to an idyllic plane of existence, tuned to your souls most wanted desires. This afterlife is different for everyone and is known as The Plane of Dreams.

A History of Myrecnea

While not the first continent to be populated with life by the Sorcerers,

Major Factions

Thoughout the various continents on Ganya there are large factions of people looking to rule over their domains or increase their influence throughout the world. Some groups rule over their respective nations and have factions within them, each controlling an aspect of government. However, many groups outside of the law have used recent events and oppotunities to expand their criminal organizations, religious motives, or arcane experimentations.

The Arcane Realms

The High Court

The High Court of the Arcane Realms is the longest standing democratic-elected government in all of Ganya, next to the territory of the Dragon’s Peninsula which has a mix of monarchy and elected officials. The High Court first came about as a concession between the King of The Mythrill (now Mythrill’s Point), Xan Sellion, and the people of The Mythrill.

Years of consolidated power, heightened taxes, followed by a set of losing skirmishes against the Savage Magics (now Alivar) lead to public unrest and King Sellion looked for a way to appease the people while maintaining power. Thus, The High Court was established, consisting of nobles and elected representatives of the city, who would advise the King on all manners of the realm.

After almost 2000 years of a government resembling a constitutional monarchy, the last Sellion king, Rafendel Sellion divested the power of the throne leaving only the High Court in charge of running the nation. This came in the middle of the era known as “The Relative Peace”, a stretch of nearly 500 years where there was a tentative peace between the Arcane Realms and Alivar.

At this time however, The High Court was no longer only represented by those in the newly named Mythrill’s Point. Various city-states had begun to rise and wanted to be involved in the politics surrounding the lands and have their people’s voices heard. The High Court was growing and by the time of The Ending War had 9 elected representatives from 8 cities across the realm.

These 9 representatives work together to handle all aspects of government, delegating work to their assistants, and appointed individuals such as the various generals, admirals, and advisors. While there are 9 elected representatives, there are hundreds of workers within the High Court that make the Arcane Realms run as efficiently as it does.

Goals

The High Court maintains open communication with all of their vassal states and their objective is to spread the wealth and bounty that the lands of western myrencea offer to all those living within it. While these efforts are not always done the most effectively, the goal has always been, since its inception, to allow the entire nation to rise up through a united effort.

There is one territory that exists within the lands of The Arcane Realms that is not represented within the High Court and that is the Citadel of Magics. This is a military citadel the size of a city and belonging to no single nation. It is instead owned, operated, and funded through the League of Magics, an inter-planetary peacekeeping initiative to allow all nations and peoples to have a place to deal with disputes diplomatically. While many nations are included, several nations and groups of people such as the people of Terraqua and Mokandu have no interest in taking part of the organization. The citadel is a training grounds and meeting place for the League of Magic’s and their member’s military organizations.

Minority Delegate

The Minority Delegate is a unique role that came about roughly 145 years ago, shortly after the Ending War. To ensure those who were not among the most populated of species (such as dwarves, goliaths, and half-orcs) could be sure a representative looked after their needs exclusively. The position is only voted on by members of minority species, and is voted on more frequently than other representative positions, often changing when new census results are made available.

Draw Decider

The Draw Deciders is the least involved but most respected role in the High Court. While not able to vote in most decisions, the Draw Decider is the tie-breaking vote if the High Court is otherwise split. It is viewed as the position with the most power, being able to swing tightly contested decisions. It is the only role that is voted on across all represented cities in the court, and not independently by any one city.

Representative

A representative is the title for an elected official within the Arcane Realms. There are 9 representatives on the High Court, and 8 cities are represented between them. In general, once a city has reached a certain population threshold they are able to request representation within the High Court. Currently, the cities of Mythrill’s Point, Hyla, Hyra, Bell’s Keep, Myran’s Bay, and the City of Four Points. The cities of Graze and Mazen are represented jointly.

Relationships

The High Court also maintains strong alliances and sends ambassadors and hosts ambassadors from the Elvish Kingdoms in Austrialus Majora as well as representatives from the Dorlan Mountain Kingdom. The mountain dwarves of Montis have been long-time traders with the Arcane Realms and the elves of Austrialus Majora have been diplomatic and military allies since the two people’s met in the middle of the Endless Strait.

An organization that has long been a thorn in the side of the High Court has been the Umbra Fortuna. This underhanded thieves guild is believed to have been created by a group of nomadic bandits that traveled up and down the Endless Strait. The guild is responsible for various criminal dealings throughout the Arcane Realms and various other parts of Ganya. The High Court has created special task forces within The Arcane Eye to try and infiltrate and interrupt their networks, in an attempt to halt their growth around Ganya.

While The Ending War has been in the past for over 150 years, the bad blood between Alivar and the Arcane Realms has never subsided. Alivar’s government in the past has made efforts to open up trade deals with the Arcane Realms, but the High Court has been ardent in their refusal to allow Alivarians into the lands of Maze and Grazen.

Figures of Interest

The following are the 9 representatives of the High Court and are NPCs you can use in your games. They can also be used to provide inspiration for your own NPCs in this world. In addition, members of other important organizations underneath the High Court are included.

Mythrill’s Point Representative

Torodel, Myrecnean, 58, he/him

An older myrecnean man who has been a politician for many years. He was second in the voting for Draw decider. He has green eyes and short blonde hair and has a small green faerie dragon that rides around on his shoulders. He’s a bit bitter that he lost Draw Decider but has not let that stop his efforts as representative.

Hyla Representative

Arzahr Flifhorn Gnome, 366 and 1 minute, he/him

The “older” brother of Epzohr Filfhorn, Arzahr is an incredibly powerful and masterful mage of various schools. His precise scribing techniques are known throughout many circles of arcane practitioners. Arzahr helped found Hyla University and was one of its first professors. After the school boomed in popularity, he stepped away from teaching to help the city around the school in a more macro sense, and ran to become the representative of Hyla. He has a deep rivalry with his brother, who represents the rival city of Hyra.

Hyra Representative

Epzohr Flifhorn, Gnome, 366, he/him

The twin brother of Arzahr Flifhorn, Epzohr was one of the original founders of Hyra University and is known to be one of the most impressive master craftsmen, also known as an MC, in the world of Ganya. His proficiency with tools is unparalleled and many artisans and artificers alike have come to Hyra to refine their skills in all sorts of practical trades. Not to be outdone by his brother, Epzohr stepped away from his teaching role to become an elected official for Hyra. Him and his brother are constantly at ends with each other over policy, but this has helped other members find a compromising middle-ground on certain subjects.

Bell’s Keep Representative

Cophan Bell, Human, 68, he/him

While not the newest representative in the high court, Cophan Bell’s seat is the most recent addition being added 25 years ago. Cophen Bell considered himself a self-made millionaire, establishing Bell’s Keep with his own money and giving away real estate for coppers on the platinum to get the city filled with the poor and lower class of other cities. And it worked. The city became filled with new people and even more investors. He is a savvy businessman and his opinion is sought after by many tradesmen and guild members.

Maze/Grazen Representative

Piben Pujost, Halfling, 69, he/they

The twin cities of Maze and Grazen have been vital to the strength and longevity of the Arcane Realms. Piben Pujost has spent much of his life as the Mayor of Grazen and was elected to the High Court 10 years ago. He was a farmer before a mayor and came from a long line of farmers. He understands the value of a hard day’s work and uses this to keep himself as humble as he can in such a high position of power.

Myran Bay Representative

Yquora Moxis Human, 31, she/her

The youngest and newest of the representatives on the High Court. She is a reluctant leader as her father, Nadenial Moxis, was first elected to represent the city. During the journey from Myran’s Bay to Mythrill’s Point, Nedanial fell ill and perished, leaving only Yquora, 24 at the time, to take his place. Other members and advisors in the court looking to gain political ground allowed her to represent the city in hopes she would be an easy target for their political machinations. The young woman took the job head on and was responsible for massive amounts of redirected funds towards Myran’s Bay and became a hero amongst her home town. She still sits in her position as representative and is known for her stubbornness in helping her people.

Four Points Representative

Lyra Igil, Half-Elf, 72, she/her

Also known as the Queen of the 4 Points, Lyra Igil is considered royalty by her people in the Etat Forest. This group of druidic and nature-protecting people have been guardians of the woods they live in and have made their home at the intersection of two major rivers. The city has never truly considered itself a member of any nation, but since they were offered a seat of representation by the court, a member of the royal family has always been sent to Mythrill’s Point to ensure the protection of the Etat Woods and the people in it. Lyra was first sent as the representative when she was a princess, but both her parents passed while she has been in office and has since been anointed queen. Her brother, Marcus Igil, rules as the King of the 4 Points currently.

Minority Delegate

Gamden Gravbush, Dwarf, 77, he/him

Gamden Gravbush comes from a long line of Myrencean dwarves and has been a vocal supporter for the rights of the working and lower classes. His brash approach to politics has made him difficult to work with in the court, but has resulted in some successes in his political career. He is close to retirement and has been considering when the opportune time will be to ensure his agenda is continued and supported.

Draw Decider

Elstrum Quivrus, Elf, 569, he/jhim

Elstrum Quivrus is an older Myrecnean-based Elf that has won his election 10 times and maintained his position for over 300 years. His decision making and crucial political maneuvering helped ensure the survival of the Arcane Realms and the people of the realms have not forgotten his hard work.

Mythrill Legionnairs & Republic Navy

Goals

Legate

The role of the Legate is to be the final word of advice given to the High Court. While not directly in charge of any specific aspect of the military, the Legate is the central point of martial information. Generals, Captains, Commanders, and everyone below in the chain of command ultimately gives their reports to the Legate, who passes the information on to the High Court in digestible and understandable terms for politicians.

Grain General

The Grain General is no higher or lower than any other General in the Arcane Realms. However, due to the precarious position Maze and Grazen find themselves, being so close to the border of Alivar requires expert tactical leadership in case of another invasion.

The Grain General is often given to the most experienced or decorated general in service. The changing of the Grain General is often a large ceremony and involves large parades and ceremonies, both in Mythrill’s Point where the retirement or funeral occurs, and then in the twin cities of Maze and Grazen for the appointment of the new general.

Admiral Arcane

The Admiral Arcane is the highest rank given to a naval officer in the Arcane Realms. There are two Admiral Arcanes currently. One oversees the “Western Fleet” which specifically travels and guards the western and northern coastlines, and the other oversees the naval fleets in Trikron’s Domain on the western side of the Endless Strait. Admiral Arcanes are more than just talented sailors and captains, but mighty and masterful manipulators of magical means.

Boatswain Summum

The Boatswain Summum is the lead architect for the Arcane Realm’s navy and is responsible for the overall construction and design of the realm’s ships. Depending on who is in charge in this role can dictate naval tactics, whether ships become more arcanely focused, offensively focused, or defensively focused. Summum are often highly opinionated and technical geniuses, cultivated from the cream of the crop at both Hyla and Hyra University.

The Arcane Eye (Spy Network)

Minister of Intelligence

If only one fact is known about the truth, it is that it is full of secrets. The Minister of Intelligence knows this better than anyone else, and leads operations within the Arcane Eye to find every secret hidden in every truth. The Minister of intelligence is responsible for pure information gathering from around the world. They utilize not only arcane means to spy and scry but a plethora of agents working in the shadows and under the cover of magic and night to overhear every word spoken in the realm.

Master of Whispers

Contrary to the Minister of Intelligence, the Master of Whispers cares little for what the reality of a situation is, only what can be disseminated to their enemies and to the public. This role is responsible for the various rumors, tales, and “secrets” told in taverns. The position is just as much about deceiving enemy forces as it is diverting the eyes of the people of the realms. The Master of Whispers controls their own operatives, known as Whisps, who seek out local rumors, discover their validity, and warp the tale into a useful lie.

Character Options

The many magical worlds of The System are filled with heroes, villains, witches, liches, and more. Challenges at every step from traversing the wild lands of the Kong-Gier Jungle or the settling political strife within the States of Kaladai help create some of the most iconic champions of legend. Mysterious pacts with other worldly entities unleash powerful arcane magics while humans and Lodantas create artifice machines of industry. The material presented in the following chapter offer new character options to help embed your character into the life of someone in The System.

A Campaign in The System

This section is meant for players who will be playing in a campaign in this setting being run by the Game Master. Along with a list of new races, subclasses, backgrounds, and feats, are variant rules to create an even more unique experience from other settings in the multiverse.

Getting Started

Character creation starts as per usual for character creation in a fifth edition TTRPG game. Typically generating your statistics is decided by your group or your Game Master. Players then decide the character's race, lineage, or ancestry, class and background. If you or your Game Master wish to vary from official fifth edition materials, or this material, ensure this communication happens now.

Along with any variant rules by your Game Master, this setting provides a few variant rules that can be incorporated into your campaign to better immerse yourself into the universe of The System.

All Encompassing Magic

On the magical worlds of The System (Ganya, Titan, Pax, Spes Nova, and Kronos), magic is pervasive and all-encompassing. Creatures from these magical worlds are born with innate magical power that is honed by the time a person is an adolescent. This honed magical skill takes the form of basic cantrips that these beings are capable of casting. Any being, other than a Human from Earth, may select 2 cantrips, from any 1 class' spell list, that does not require an attack roll or saving throw, provided their starting class does not have the Spellcasting feature, or already have a racial feature that provides innate spellcasting.

These cantrips are considered innate for you and therefore do not require any material components, and can use Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice upon character creation) as your spellcasting ability for these spells.

For example, a 1st-level Dragonborn Fighter may choose during their creation to learn the spell Light, and Guidance from the Cleric spell list, using Charisma as their spellcasting ability.

Humans and Myrenceans

In this setting there is a distinct difference between a Human and a Myrencean. Humans come from Earth, and have advanced technology to rival the abilities of magic. Myrencean are very similar to those from Earth, with similar lifespans, height, and weight, but with the innate ability to cast spells due to the magical world they are from.

To make this distinction, a good rule of thumb is to consider "Variant Humans" to be from Ganya and "Humans" to be from Earth. "Variant Humans" or, "Myrenceans", are from a magical world, and thus have the innate ability to learn basic cantrips thanks to Ganya's all-encompassing magic. Humans, from Earth, lack the ability to cast spells unless done so through a magic item and are incapable are taking a class, subclass, feature, or background that provides the ability to cast spells at any point. The exception to this rule is any class that uses a set of tools as a spellcasting focus at first level. The Greater Sorcerers and those beyond the Divine Gate are unable to connect to Humans, but other greater entities are finding new beings on the magical worlds to make deals with.

However, if you wish for your human character to learn magic, psionics, or other spellcasting abilities, work with your Game Master to find an appropriate reason. Was your character experimented on by an evil mage to suffuse you with these powers? Maybe they made a pact with a mysterious entity one night on The Flotilla or you decide to flavor your spells as sleight of hand tricks with incredible special effects.

The Human Armory

While humans lack the ability to harness the magical energy of the Weave, they have learned to compensate with their incredible technology. Firearms are a deadly and powerful weapon, but they are also Humans only defense against monsters the size of mountains or a lich casting a bolt of necrotic energy. All Humans in this setting have proficiency in Firearms, provided your Game Master has decided not to allow Humans from Earth to cast magic, and allows Firearms.

In addition, Humans have access to a unique array of nonmagical, yet powerful equipment stored in The Human Armory. This Armory consists of new, nonmagical items that can only be purchased and wielded by Humans. These unique items can either be requested at a Shoppe Console, that are found in major cities on Titan, or via a Mobile Shoppe that is given to human explorers. These items and their functions can be found in later chapters.

Culture and History

All of the races in The System have an extensive history with unique cultures, customs and beliefs. This setting does it's best to include all official fifth edition races as well as be flexible enough to allow for yours or your Game Master's own creations. This section will include descriptions of these different races from across The System as well as speak to their cultural heritage.

The Beginnings of Adventure

Communication between players, the Game Master, and other players are important to creating a healthy, safe, and fun environment for everyone involved. From character creation to the final blow of the BBEG, this communication is paramount to telling a compelling story and creating an exciting experience for all. Clearly tell your Game Master what sort of ideas and story concepts you have for your character and what type of experience you are looking for as a player. This ensures that they can allocate appropriate time to your character and story, while not distracting from others.

Use time before the session, commonly referred to as "Session Zero", to meet as a group to discuss what everyone is looking for. The expectations of each player and the Game Master, rules that campaign will be using, as well as topics that may be sensitive and need to be avoided or handled with care. The safety and well-being of the player's and Game Master take precedent above all.

There are many guides online and in official fifth edition material that provide ways to conduct these sessions. Each session zero will be different for each group, with different topics discussed and different rules set.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook and this book offer a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.

Details of The System

Once you have a general concept of your character, discuss with your GM and other players about providing a unique flavor to better embed your character into the setting. Learning about the lore of the various gods, cities, and nations can better ground your character where they are from.

The Sorcerers

If your character is religious, or has a strong spiritual connection to a Greater Sorcerer, explore how that connection works and is maintained. Were they a devout follower, a nonpracticing observer, or are they an official priest or priestess of this deity? Earlier chapters go into further detail about the different gods known as "Sorcerers" and their domains and provinces.

Factions

The various worlds of The System are not just filled with roving bands of anarchist tribes. There are organizations, businesses, governments, nations, guilds, and more.

Each of them has their own rivals and unique history with one another. The Wizard Realms and the Warlock Territories have been constantly vying for land along with border of the two nations. Is your character a diplomat from one of these sides? Or a soldier on the front lines? These factions are described further in detail in earlier chapters, or you can work with your GM to create your own.

Dragons

The history of the Ancient Dragons is shrouded in mystery and myth. Oral traditions were passed down from generation to generation of what befell them. They were a prevalent danger and accepted part of life that many civilizations were able to adapt to. They formed defenses in their cities and had scouts patrol lands known for dragons. However, roughly 1000 years ago the last dragon was seen in Ganya over the mountains of Montis.

This changed, however, within the last year when a primordial eldritch being tore a rift on Titan and Ganya between our universe and another, unleashing a torrent of different types of dragons. The rift was only open for a day, but this was enough time to fill the worlds with all sorts of dragons once more. Life on Ganya and Titan is learning how to readjust to the presence of these impressive behemoths.

History and Cultures in The System

The history of both Ganya and Titan began roughly 5000 years prior to the current date and within that time empires have risen, fallen, and cultures have grown and shifted. While some races and groups have preferred to remain among their own, like the elves of Austrialus Majora and the dwarves of Montis, many have had a shared and integrated history with many other races. Many halflings, myrenceans, and gnomes have found a common community with each other, while still remaining distinct with their individual cultures.

This section outlines the history of these traditional races on their respective worlds. A race that originated from Titan or Ganya will be noted in parenthesis next to the race. This section is designed to inspire both GM's for NPC's and players to help inform their character creation.

Monsters, Beastfolk, and "People"

In the world of Dungeons and Dragons and many other fantasy settings, there is typically a distinction between a "Monster" and a "Person". Traditionally, these labels are fulfilling the roles of a story; an antagonists, heroes, or ally for your character to interact with.

In this setting, due to the isolated nature of the two worlds and inter-planetary travel only coming into existence in the last 200 years, many races from Titan and Ganya do not have the same preconceived notions of one another that other settings in the multiverse might have.

For example, a minotaur from Titan would not have any sort of prejudice against a dark elf for their heritage, as they have not had centuries of rumors, propaganda, and political influence against them. The same could be said about a dwarf expecting a minotaur to be a mindless, raging brute, as their existence was unknown entirely.

Almost all sapient beings found in official fifth edition material and in this book are not considered "Monsters" and generally have their own self-identity and culture somewhere within The System, or on an adjacent plane of existence. What is an is not considered a "Monster" is ultimately decided by your Game Master, and if you wish to try creating a playable race out of one of these monsters, work with your GM to find where they might fit within the setting.

Multi-World Bestiary

The nature of the many worlds of The System can lead some monsters to exist on certain worlds, but not others. Most monster creatures can be found on the various magical worlds, as many of them are influenced by other planes of existence, or were place on both worlds by The Sorcerers.

Beasts are creatures that exist on both Ganya and Titan, fulfilling the role of sustenance, assistance, companionship, and to fulfill their role within the world's natural ecosystem. Monstrosities are creatures of arcane manipulation, curses, corruption or other nefarious sources. Both worlds have a long history with magic and have each created their fair share of abominations. It is mainly the different Humanoids that vary from world to world.

This could influence how certain monsters operate depending on your Game Master. For example, a group of adventurers on Titan would not be ambushed by a clan of raiding orcs, as orc society originated on Ganya. The group might instead be attacked by a group of centaur bandits or minotaur berserkers.

People and Culture on Ganya

The integration of various race's culture into one another's on Ganya and Titan is antithetical to one another. Ganya has only a few races of people who wish to remain amongst their own, but most nations on the world consist of multiple races joined together.

On Ganya, only the Dwarves and Elves are monoethnic societies. While that is not to say they reject alliances and don't show compassion or friendship toward the other races. They elves of this world simply prefer to remain amongst their own culture. On the continent of Myrencea, different races have been heavily intertwined for eons. To the west you can often find myrenceans, gnomes, halflings, and half-elves intermingling in large cities and towns. The connection between them all comes from a shared set of values, morals, and religion. In central Myrencea many, Myrenceans, goliaths, giants, orcs, and half-Orcs have joined their varied cultures under a single banner of the Warlock Territories.

This intermingling over the centuries has created unique cultural identities in each corner of the world. These cultures and civilizations were not built in a night, or even a fortnight. They started out as tribes of their own kind, isolated and separated from one another. Until these groups came to meet, the various races built their own traditions and rituals that are still practiced to this day.

People and Culture on Titan

Contrary to Ganya, Titan began with most groups of their sentient beings coming into existence together and living amongst one another before spreading out and isolating themselves. After The Birth of Life, land dwelling races were concentrated in northeast Kaladai, before spreading out through the two main western continents of Kaladai and Ehrhaus. Most amphibious and water-dwelling beings found themselves on the islands and in the waters of The Serpent's Maw.

Ever since this time, known as The Great Migrations, the various races have congregated exclusively amongst their own kind. Building civilizations, kingdoms, borders, and political alliances with people of their own race has created unique cultures and societies based on the race of beings from the area.

There are lingering aspects in each society from The Great Migrations, such as the architectural similarities between Minotaurs and Gryffons, but most of these civilizations have grown and developed independently from one another.

Dragonborns and Kobolds

The history of Dragons is shrouded in mystery due to their once ancient nature. Before their disappearance nearly 1000 years ago, their earliest creations were the Dragonborn, humanoid forms of their mighty draconic presence. The most ancient of these dragons bore the three main types of Dragonborn that are found on The Dragon's Peninsula, the chromatic, metallic, and gem.

Many of these dragonborn tamed the tropical lands of the peninsula and created towns and kingdoms along the coasts. Ultimately, they created their grandest city of Dragon's Nest, which acts as the seat of government for them. Dragon's Nest is where the royal family of the Dragon's Peninsula reside and where law and legislation are made.

Others decided to move into the mountains and caverns that resided to the north. It is these dragonborn who became influenced by the Underdark, and developed unique features compared to their dragonborn brethren. They lost their potent breath weapon reminiscent of their ancestries, but gained the ability to see in the darkness of the Undermountain and grew a stronger sense of community amongst themselves.

Appearance, Tails, and Wings

Dragonborn from these lands are sometimes born with tails, and has been found to a genetic trait passed on from generation to generation. Most dragonborn who have tails will typically have a child with a tail, and the same for those without tails. Mixed families are highly variable in their offspring and, while rare, a tailless or tailed family can have a child that differs from their parents.

Kobolds have a dulled red coloration to their scales but can also appear bronze, brass, or black. Kobolds have all retained their tail, and some Kobolds who decided to dwell above the mountains, rather than under, adapted to grow wings at the cost of losing their incredible night vision. Kobolds that adapted to live under the mountains are referred to as "Autha" Kobolds and those above the mountains are known as "Golos" Kobold.

Variant Rule: If you wish to play as a Golos Kobold, or Winged Kobold, discuss with your GM appropriate adjustments to a playable Kobold race with a fly speed of 30 feet.

Gender and Identity Amongst Dragonkin

Contrary to the real world and most other traditional fantasy settings, Dragonborn believe strongly in the idea that gender lies along a spectrum, and have little regard for traditional gender and sexual identity and sexuality as a whole. You will just as likely see a pair of homosexual male chromatic dragonborn as you are to see a pair of non-binary pansexual gem dragonborn or a mixed chromatic-gem ace couple.

The strongest connection to identity that Dragonborn have is to their scale coloration. This difference in appearance has not led to rampant discrimination on any level, but have created unique subcultures within dragonborn society.

Dragonborn and Dwarves

Roughly 500 years after the mighty dragons seemingly went extinct, the mountain dwarves to the northern continent of Montis annexed the peninsula. Without a strong standing army and the protection for their creators, the kingdom of Dragon's Nest was left helpless to the takeover.

Since then, Dragon's Nest has acted as a territory of the Dorlan Mountain Kingdom of the dwarves. The relationship between the two has fluctuated over the centuries depending on who the king of the Mountain Kingdom. Currently, King Stonebeard Dorlan rules over the lands and has issued recent reforms to give greater autonomy to the peninsula.

Dwarves

When the Greater Sorcerers first created life on Ganya, as opposed to within the realm of the fey, the dwarves were amongst their earliest creations, just after the Myrenceans. As opposed to traveling east with the halflings, gnomes and myrenceans, or staying central with giants and goliaths, the dwarves headed eastward to explore the world.

After travelling hundreds of miles through a treacherous forest, the dwarves had their first major schism. Many wanted to stay remaining in the forest, and settle their civilization there. Others wished to continue onward, wishing to find mountains and caverns to settle their kingdom. Those who stayed went on to be known as Forest Dwarves, or Hill Dwarves in fifth edition core rules.

The ones who continued travelling were rewarded for their perseverance and found the Land of Mountains, Montis. These dwarves built a path through the mountains to the center of these rocky lands before they began one of the greatest acts of construction and destruction on Ganya. They hollowed the entire inside of a mountain under the leadership and guidance of the first Mountain King. This project took decades of constant struggle and turmoil, but created the foundation for how much of the world would be built.

Forest Dwarves

Those who chose to stay behind in within the large forest, known as the Everwood, built their kingdom with the care and thought of this forest in mind. Instead of chopping down the trees and building their home through destruction, they decided to build their home within the trees. Building massive structures within and throughout the forest to provide for themselves while sustaining the bounty of the Everwood.

Natural Respect

These dwarves have predicated their entire civilization on the respect between nature and dwarves. Their connection to Ganya and the flora and fauna that inhabit it are tightly woven into their culture. They are taught from an early age how to sustainably rely on the world around them, from proper hunting techniques to how to properly burn a section of wood to help more life grow. Many of these people find themselves inclined towards becoming druids or clerics of the sorcerers Trikka, Amdore, or Everune.

Gregarious

Unlike their rather stern and reclusive brothers to the east, Forest Dwarves find themselves enjoying the company of various folk. Many fey entities that have entered into the material often have done so near forest dwarf settlements. Some fey have even enjoyed their company so much they stay within their dwarvish society. Due to this knowledge and positive interaction with fey, they have become natural trading partners and allies with the various elvish kingdoms in Austrailus Majora.

Mountain Dwarves of the Dorlan Kingdom

As different as stone is to a plant is the difference between Forest and Mountain dwarves. Those who continued their search for a home eventually made their way Montis. These people have steeped themselves in drwarvish traditions and tend toward isolationism and military mighty.

Isolated

The land of Montis is unforgiving with very few outside travelers making their way to the Mountain Kingdom. Those who do make it are met with skepticism and mistrust and best, and active condescension at worst. Those from the Dorlan Mountain kingdom are seen as gruff to outsiders and most don't find themselves amongst them for very long.

Gems

Gems and other precious crystals are the largest export of the kingdom. While diamonds and other gems can be found around the world of Ganya, the highest concentration of them lies within the mountains they call home. Mountain dwarves were responsible for the creation of a gem-based standard of currency that was used for a short time before the standardization of a precious-metal based system.

Duergar of the Underdark

Beneath the deepest caverns of the Dorlan Mountain Kingdom lies a sinister lair of darkness that rides the line between the Underdark and Far Realm. A place were aberrations and monstrosities roam as freely as beasts. This massive network of caverns beneath the surface of Ganya is home to a particular race of dwarves known as the Duergar.

Enslaved

The Duergar are the remnants of those who traveled to the mountains of Montis, and chose to survive beneath the mountains rather than inside and above them. When they reached the Underdark, they were met with hostility by the otherworldly-beings known as Illithids. After thousands of years of enslavement, experimentation, and torture, they rebelled, and were able to break free from their shackles.

But when they returned further to the surface and rejoined their brothers, they were met with shackles once more. The Dorlan Mountain Kingdom saw these dwarves as abominations and corrupted from their time below. Few of these Duergar were able to escape to the surface and flee the mountains they came from, most were captured, and put to work expanding the Dorlan Kingdom's empire through mining and hollowing more mountains.

Mad as Hell

The long history of enslavement has left duergar with a visceral hatred of all other dwarves. Duergar outside of their enslavement in the Dorlan Kingdom are often distant and difficult to approach.

They are typically loud, demanding, and have a disdain for the concept of capitalism. Having lived thousands of years in a quasi-communal environment of slavery. They find the idea of having more than enough for all, but letting a fellow starve or live and squalid conditions, reprehensible.

Elementally Suffused

Just beyond the barrier between the planes are the various planes of elemental power that Amdore used to help create the various magical worlds. His gift gave rise to different genies that then roamed the lands of Ganya and formed relationships with the different beings of those lands.

However, this is not the only way a being can come to harness the power of the elements. The barrier between the planes is incredibly thin, and rifts can appear and dissipate randomly. These rifts typically appear near places of strong elemental power such as volcanoes, deep in the ocean, or among high mountain ranges. Occasionally, these rifts will appear near an area where sentient creatures are being born. The proximity to these rifts can suffuse different races from Titan with these powers.

Curious

Elementally suffused are often left with many questions. To those who were born with the infusion of elemental energy from a rift, their full capabilities are often left unknown. Without a master of an element like a genie to guide them, these folk are often spending their entire lives to know just to the extent their elemental powers go.

Elemental Personality

Those with the gift of an elemental power often find themselves exhibiting similar traits based on the type of element they are suffused with. Those with a connection to fire tend to be feisty and short tempered, water connection lead toward a fluid and flexible personality, while those with a strong connection to the earth are usually stoic and courageous. Some find themselves connected to the element of air and wind and of loud, boisterous, and have dominating presence.

Elves

Elves are one of the earliest sapient beings created by the Greater Sorcerers. Birthed in the Feywild, they were grown and cultivated and birthed their earliest societies there. After a single generation, the elves exploded their population, and developed communities amongst themselves. Once the Greater Sorcerers were ready to introduce their other races to the world of Ganya, they gave their first creation a choice to remain in the Feywild, or tame a new land filled with new life to explore and conquer.

Almost all agreed and they began a new life on Ganya, on the continent of Austrialus Majora. From here, they spread from the center of the Kong-Jier jungle to the furthest reaches of the lands and forming their own societies and kingdoms.

Due to the thin stretch of land filled with perilous mountains and deadly monsters between themselves and the continent of Myrencea, Elves remained mostly isolated from the other races of Ganya. Elves have one of the largest total populations next to Myrenceans and Dwarves. And while the land of Austrialus Majora is divided into 5 distinct kingdoms, they are all united and act in the best interest of the other kingdoms.

The Orlan Kingdom

This kingdom is the ruling kingdom of all others in the elvish empire, found in the northwest of Austrialus Major. After around 1000 years of expansion and exploration of the continent, many kingdoms had risen and began vying for power. Each of them had a different environment, trade goods, and economy, but none could rival the immense fertile grasslands, rivers, and forests of the area the Orlan Kingdom controlled. Under the rulership of Arvas Orlan, the Orlan Kingdom worked with the other kingdoms to create a sort of confederacy of united kingdoms.

While other kingdoms have their own kings and royal families that can make decisions for these lands, the king of the Orlan Kingdom makes decisions on behalf of all of the other kingdoms. Declarations of war against another nation in Ganya, or decisions that will affect the continent on the whole are decided by this royal line, with the help of a council of political representatives of other elvish kingdoms.

Leadership

The Orlan Kingdom is where the seat of power is for all elves, and many of their citizens feel they are destined to be a beacon of hope and light for all other elves. However, this has also led to a smug arrogance among many people in these lands. While they will not show this sort of behavior toward others of their kind, they will often treat many dwarves and myrenceans with contempt.

True Authority

A large majority of crops are led grown and cultivated here that are traded around the continent. Their kingdom, and their prison colony in the south, helps provide labor to work the gold and platinum rich mines. The rest of the kingdoms have come to rely on these trade routes and labor to keep their societies running. This sort of reliance has created enough leverage in the Orlan Kingdom to have the last word on anything within the continent.

Snow's Kingdom

A society built between the mountains, jungle, desert, and sea, Snow's Kingdom is a land of luxury, extravagance, and culture. Founded by the high elf, Vallion Snow, Snow's Kingdom encompasses the lands of north east Austrialus Majora. To the furthest west of their lands lies a mountain range with snowy peaks, perfect for winter activities. To the southwest is the border of the Kong-Gier jungle and to the south east is the edge of the Critton Desert. The northeastern boarder lies the coast leading to the ocean, referred to as the Sea of Blood and Turmoil due to the many naval battles that have taken place within those waters.

Sparse But Bountiful

The population in Snow's Kingdom has the second lowest population but the second most land on the continent. Their place between various ecosystems has created a plethora of trade goods that they send across Ganya, mainly to the Warlock Territories and a single, highly protected port belonging to the Wizard Nations. This has resulted in elves from this kingdom having little to no poverty and a strong social security net.

Naval Powerhouse

Due to the aggressive nature of the various tribes of the Warlock Territories during the world's formative years, Snow's Kingdom needed to have a strong naval presence to keep raiders and pirates away. This led to Snow's Kingdom becoming the home of the elves naval fleet. During The Ending War, Snow's Kingdom single handedly kept the entirely of the Warlock Territories' fleets at bay.

The Endoza Kingdom

To the furthest east of Austrialus Major, surrounded by the harsh and unforgiving Critton Desert, is the Endoza Kingdom. The kingdom was founded by Queen Vaelas Endoza after leading the elves through the desert and leading her group of soldiers to victory over a pod of invading Sand Wyrms. She has gone down in history as one of the most revered warriors outside of Kong-Gier.

Her leadership and accolades have led to a more equal society here than in another elvish kingdom. Men and women share traditional gender roles, and have a small, but diverse military.

Worm Riders

The sands of the Critton Desert are rife with tan colored worms that burrow through the shifting sands like fish in a sea. Most of these worms are a large sized creatures that have been used as mounts, or beasts of burden in a land scarcely populated with other life. Elves from this land have found a connection to these strange monstrosities and have a shared history that dates back to the earliest days of the kingdom's founding.

Oasis Dwellers

Some elves from the Endoza Kingdom decide to wander the desert, moving with the winds, season, and migration of sand wyrms. Many of these people will find their way to the Lorenzen Oasis, a safe haven for all travelers of the desert to stop, drink, and relax before moving along their travels.

Ecladian Kingdom

This kingdom has been closely connected to the capital kingdom of the Elves. The Ecladian Kingdom rivals Snow's Kingdom for the wealthiest among the continent. The fertile lands in the Valley of Arevas has long provided additional crops for the capital, and the gold, silver, and platinum mines to the south by the Ivory Bay has made the Ecladian Kingdom the natural home for the united kingdom's treasury.

The kingdom is led by Cargee Ecladia, the 5th generation king from the founder Platia Ecladia. When the elves spread from the Kong-Gier to the south, some stayed and enjoyed the valley that was there, while other continued to traverse the perilous mountains to the south. Those who continued their travel were rewarded by the gifts of the Ivory Bay. The bounty of the sea with the riches of the mountain built this kingdom from the ground up.

Fealty

The Ecladian Kingdom is independent from the Orlan Kingdom, but have sworn fealty to the capital. The Ecladian Kingdom provides crops, gold, and houses some of the worst criminals on the continent in the Ivory Bay, home of the original Ecladian Kingdom castle. In exchange, the Orlan Kingdom provides military protection and a healthy supply of prisoners to work the mines.

Golden

Ecladian elves are incredibly wealth-focused. While elves from Snow's Kingdom use their time and wealth to allow independent study and thought and grow elvish culture, Ecladian elves have a different view. They have been culturally trained from a young age the importance of wealth, how to generate it, and dedicate large amounts of their youth understanding the intricacies of the elvish and Ganyan economy.

Elves from this kingdom have eons of masterfully working the elvish economy to maintain their position. Careful manipulation of how much platinum, gold, silver, and other precious metals are mined and released to the world has kept them in power.

Everytt Kingdom

Home of the dark elves, the founders of this kingdom came about after a bloody dispute between the tribe of elves that settled in the land now known as the Orlan Kingdom. The ultimate schism came down to which bloodline should become the ruling one for their tribe. One side wished for Nazar Everytt to lead while the other wished-for Balar Orlan's bloodline to rule.

The war nearly destroyed both kingdoms before they were ever formed. Eventually, though, the elves under Barlo Orlan's rule drove out their rivals and claimed the land, and throne to the Orlans. For the next two thousand years it was believed this tribe simply faded into nothingness leaving nothing of note behind but the blood that soaked the lands of the Orlan Kingdom.

Little did the rest of the continent know that these elves did not go quietly into a fateful goodnight. Those who survived the bloody battles gathered with the few hundred that remained and pledged allegiance to Barlo's son, Davilson Everytt. While young, Davilson's ambition and determination to uphold his father's name lead him deep underneath the Blackspine Mountains and founded the Everytt Kingdom. Over time, influence from the Underdark changed these elves. Their skin darkened to a deep greyish-purple to better hide in the darkness while their vision in darkness surpassed all elves on the surface. Different magics infused them as their heritage from above faded into oblivion.

It wasn't until a group of Orlan cartographers came across the Blackspine mountains and began to search them did they realize there was a flourishing kingdom within the borders of their own. Until recently, the two kingdoms have largely ignored one another. The Orlan Kingdom and the rest of Austrialus Majora hadn't made many attempts to incorporate the Everytt Kingdom into their united kingdoms, and the Everytt Kingdom hadn't shown interest in joining. It has only been within the last two hundred years, after The Ending War, that these elves have begun attempting to enter the political battlefield.

Children of Giants

The children of giants (often referred to as half-giants or other variations) are not believed to be born from the gods, but some of the earliest descendants of Giants. The origin of these beings changes on which tribe you are asking. Tribes high in the Hellfrost Mountains claim storm giants forged them from the heart of all storms and the strength of the mountains. Nomadic clans wandering the Hellsdawn Valley will claim that ancient earth titans and hill giants sculpted their humanoid children from dirt and soil and giving them a spark of life.

Whether one or none of these myths are true, the children of giants have been a presence in central myrencea for as long as humans and dwarves had been trying to tame it. They were an active presence in the forming of Alivar, and their incredibly powerful foot soldiers make up the backbone of Alivar's military leadership.

Mountainborn

Whether they are tracking a moving herd of beasts across the valley or climbing to the peak of the highest mountain to prove your worth to the tribe, stone and earth has always been a powerful presence. This connection to the natural earth lingers in every half-giant's soul no matter what planet they travel to.

Strength

To the children of giants, strength determines all. Most tribes that traveled the lands before the formal nations were formed were martial-based meritocracy. The study of the arcane, natural, and divine magics were seldom study except by a few rare shamans that would travel across central myrencea. In most tribes, leaders were selected by the strongest male or female and their line, only losing their status once the current leader has been killed in a bareknuckle duel.

Gnomes

Created alongside many of the other races that saw their first light on Myrencea, these innovative people split into three main groups. First are the rock gnomes whom traveled eastward with most Myrenceans. These people have spent most of their existence living alongside other Myrenceans in The Wizard Realms and have been responsible for major strides in the arcane and artifice.

Two other groups of gnomes traveled eastward with the forest and mountain dwarves, the forest gnomes and the deep gnomes. Forest gnomes decided to stay in eastern Myrencea, feeling a natural affinity to the dense woodland area like their dwarvish cousins. Many small villages of these gnomes exist throughout the eastern portion of the continent, with a few druidic clans that have a heavy forest gnome population.

Lastly, are the deep gnomes. These people are the most isolated of the gnomes and are rarely seen by surface dwellers. Even the dwarves of the Dorlan Mountain Kingdom seldom see these recluse folk. Just as curious as the surface is of them, they are of the surface. But this curiosity is often suppressed by their socially ingrained caution.

Rock Gnomes

Rock Gnomes have been instrumental in the founding of The Wizard Realms just as much as other Myrenceans. During The Ending War, many rock gnomes were employed by the Wizard Realm government to create defenses against the weapons of war created by the invaders from Alivar.

Today, rock gnomes are found integrated throughout the nation of the Wizard Realms and have also found a small home in the city of Mokandu on Titan. Their natural ingenuity fit in incredibly well with the lodantas and humans.

Tiny Tinkerers

Due to their tiny statue, rock gnomes have found a way to stand tall and proud amongst the other people of Ganya. Rock gnomes typically do not create weapons of war, but items of protection. Some of the first rings of protection and sentinel shields were made by rock gnome artificers. When pushed however, these small folk can create some of the most devastating arcane weaponry to keep themselves safe.

Professors

Many older rock gnomes have found their war teaching at the various magical institutions on Ganya and beyond. At Hyla and Hyra many rock gnomes are either headmasters or on educational boards. On the world of Titan, many rock gnomes have begun teaching classes on ganya history and arcane traditions.

Forest Gnomes

Rather than traveling west, forest gnomes continued east across Myrencea to the Everwood. This dense forest found itself filled early on with many wandering tribes of both dwarves and gnomes. The dwarvish tribes congregated toward the center of the forest while the forest gnomes continued along the outskirts following the various migration of large fowl that they often hunted.

Forest gnomes grew strong ties to the natural world around them much like their forest dwarf brethren. Very few gnomes from this land even know the term "artifice" or how to create a technological object. Instead, their power and magic took focus in nature and the small animals that inhabited the lands.

Small but Fierce

Mercenaries are some of the most vicious hunters and druids in the world of Ganya. They use this natural ferocity to protect the lands of the Everwood from any pending invaders. It is rumored that the reason Alivar did not invade into The Kingdom of 7 Tribes was because three battalions of goliath foot soldiers were reduced to piles of bones by the small statured warriors before ever setting foot inside the kingdom.

Protectors of the Stout

In their course of protecting the Everwood, forest gnomes have found themselves often protecting the dwarves who live in the center of the expansive forest. Monsters that terrorize dwarvish settlements or raiding parties from the west affecting trade routes can often find themselves at the mercy of hired gnome protectors.

Goblinkind

Those known as goblins of various kinds have a fraught history with many other groups across Ganya. While they originate from central myrencea, many tribes and bands of hobgoblins and goblins have no sense for borders and nations. While central myrencea is home to the majority of goblinkin, many have found their way across all of Ganya.

The ravenous reputation of this folk is largely thanks to The Ending War, and the many goblin tribes aligning with Alivar in their invasion attempts.

Before this time, goblins were seen as any other short race of people, similar to halflings or gnomes, and were known for their strong sense of community. Hobgoblins were known as strong military leaders and bugbears were natural hunters and monster slayers. These legacies were soon forgotten and replaced by propaganda from across The System. Goblins became synonymous with savagery and in-fighting, hobgoblins with deceit and trickery, and bugbears became known as simple minded brutes of the woods.

Goblins

Goblins are the most expansive group of goblinkin, covering the most area across Ganya. These small, hearty, and resourceful people have adapted to the many climates of the world and can be found in small colonies across the lands. The skin tone of Goblins ranges from dark green to a light tan, depending on their location.

In Myrencea, most goblin reside in the nation of Alivar and are led by either a head goblin known as a Boss or occasionally a hobgoblin Chief. There are two dominant tribes that are separated by the Hellfrost Peaks. The goblin tribes that travel between the Wizard Realms and the Valyki Fields are known as "Valkin" and those on the east who roam the Zlosly Forest are known as "Zlozen". Valkin typically have a light tanned skin while Zlozen will exhibit the traditional dark green tone.

Resilient

The goblins of Ganya have been able to spread so far from where they began simply because of their ability to survive through sheer force of will. Goblins can create homes in caves, swamps, forest, and coastlines. Through the sprawling forests to the perilous lands of the Endless Strait, these people endure any environment, and thrive.

Scouts

Regardless if a goblin is from the fields, the forest, or across the world, goblins are vigilant. Years of oppression from larger creatures and being hunted by wandering monsters, goblins have become adept at evading danger and hiding from trouble.

Hobgoblins

Hobgoblins have long ruled over their smaller cousins. Since their creation, the larger goblinkind have subjugated the smaller into their bidding. Hobgoblins have traditionally reddish to ruddy-tan skin, dark colored hair and pointed ears. Many goblins have viewed their larger kin as protectors and natural leaders. While not all tribes hold their larger kin in such high regard, hobgoblins tend to have a functional dynamic with other goblinkind.

For many generations, Hobgoblins have served in the Alivarean army as commanders and field sergeants. Most of the officers in their army is made up of Hobgoblins as their natural inclination toward leadership and cultural meritocracy makes them ideal for leading soldiers.

Unity

Hobgoblin history has been largely united as a single front. In the early days of Apex's Creation, four hobgoblin tribes emerged and began to expand in the different directions. Alruke the Conqueror, leader of the tribe heading east soon found the edges of the Hellfrost Mountains. Rather than passing through, he sent his tribe after those who travelled south. This led to a swift yet bloody set of battles ultimately leaving one united hobgoblin tribe. This single tribe known as Endrago eventually joined the other races that created the nation of Alivar.

Protectors and Rulers

Since the forming of Endrago through the today, hobgoblins have seen central myrencea, specifically west of the Hellfrost Mountains, as their home to protect and also rule. While the imperial line of Alivar is human-based, Hobgoblins tend to rule local regions within the empire, and assign high ranking hobgoblins to rule over goblin communities.

Bugbears

The largest of the Goblinkind, Bugbears have adopted to the dense forest and woods of Ganya. Most bugbears live east of the Hellfrost Mountains in the Zlosly Forest and in the Everwood. Bugbears are the most chaotic of their goblin cousins with the least amount of organization amongst them. Bugbears operate in family clans with dominant males taking multiple brides and harboring many children.

Bugbear clans are known to occasionally war with other clans infringing on their territory. These wars are bloody, but not as bloody as the wars inside the clans can be. When a rival male wishes to lead the clan, they must dethrone their existing leader, typically their own father or grandfather.

Monster Hunters

Due to their small clan sizes compared to other races, threats near a bugbear clan must be dealt with immediately and swiftly. Rabid beasts, terrifying monstrosities, and poison-breathing dragons are all foes a bugbear might face during their adolescent years. Bugbears that decide to leave their clan for one reason or another are often hired and contracted as monster slayers.

No Strings Attached

Bugbears hold no loyalty to any government, nation, or town. Clans will travel between the boarders of Alivar and the Everwood, and some have even travelled as far west as the Hellfrost Mountains. Clans can, however, be bribed with any number of trade goods, weapons, or other equipment that interests the clan.

Halfling

Similar to their gnome cousins halfling spread across Myrencea in three main bloodlines, the Lightfoot, Sout, and Wild. The Stout are the most plentiful and travelled westward and eastward, creating homesteads and farming towns in southeast myrencea and in the Wizard Realms.

Wild halflings stayed in central myrencea, creating small tribes in the Hellfrost Mountains and Zlozly Forest. Wild halflings are more in tune with the natural world and are notable for traditionally not speaking. While rumors that they cut their tongues out on their 13th birthday have been proven false, Wild halflings have developed a form of telepathic communication.

Lastly are the Lightfoot, whom are less of a clan and more of label given to a halfling that neither belongs to a Wild tribe or considers themselves a citizen of a particular nation.

Lightfoot

Halflings who take the label of a Lightfoot treat the world of Ganya as a whole as their home. Neither political border or natural ones stop a Lightfoot's travel across Ganya. Lightfoot halflings usually travel east and west through Myrencea, but just as many can be found traversing the Endless Strait, and some even travel the five kingdoms of Austrialus Majora.

Survivalists

The world of Ganya is a dangerous place, and that's before considering the people who inhabit it. Lightfoot halflings are apt survivalists, explorers, and adventurers. Many halflings born to Lightfoot parents are often taught these skills at a young age.

Hiding from Trouble

Lightfoot halflings have been given a reputation by most other halflings as being tricksy and nefarious. Many believe their innate knack for hiding is from their life of being vagabonds and criminals. In fact, this ability has come from running from prejudice mobs of halflings, unwilling to allow Lightfoots onto their land.

Stout

The vast majority of halflings on Ganya are Stout. Some believe halflings were created from the design of dwarves, giving them their innate resistance to poison and natural heartiness. Stout halfling have grown a fond kinship with western Myrenceans, especially with rock gnomes.

People of the Harvest

In the towns of Graze and Mazen, some of the largest and most plentiful fields are owned by stout halflings. These folk stands only three feet tall but have an appetite the size of a giant. Halfling feasts and celebrations are some of the most well-fed and vivacious.

Homesteaders

The lands of western myrencea may be ruled primarily by humans and half-elves, the farms and lifeblood of the country are the stout halflings. These folk were unsung heroes of The Ending War for their determination and perseverance to keep the front lines fed.

Wild

By far the rarest of the halfling kind, these people are quiet and reserved, living in small tribes of less than 100. Their history is shrouded in mystery as very few anthropologists are able to reach their isolated tribes. Social scientists from The Wizard Realms often have difficulty finding the tribes as they move and speak silently to one another and have become masters of hiding from creatures larger than themselves, like the massive giants and half-giants that roam the Hellfrost Mountains and the bloodthirsty monsters of the Zlozly Forest.

Silent and Still

Wild halflings are notorious for their typical lack of traditional communication. Most of their tradition and history is conveyed telepathically, rather than written or spoken. Wild halfling can speak by traditional means, but is so infrequently used it often sounds gravely and difficult to understand.

Reclusive

The halflings whom remain in the wilds of Ganya have found a quiet existence away from the rest of the civilized world and intend to keep it that way. Finding a tribe of wild halflings is rare, and finding a tribe a second time is often near impossible. If a tribe is found by an outside explorer, they will be friendly, but not let their presence be known for long.

Myrenceans

One of the single most populous races on the planet of Ganya, Myrenceans are spread out through three major areas; Western Myrencea, Central Myrencea (or Alivar), and in the Trilands. Within these various regions different settlements and nations have risen and fallen, boarders have moved and shifted, and demographics are constantly changing.

In Western Myrencea The Wizard Realms is ruled democratically, and the study of the arcane is encouraged to all people of the realms. The people have a wide variety of different cultures from the druids and woodland people of The City of Four Points to the city dwelling citizens of Mythrill's Point, the largest metropolis in Myrencea.

The Myrenceans who come from Alivar have a long history fighting for their rulership over the lands. Their conquest of central Myrencea came from hundreds of years of military and diplomatic might. The leader who brought the various myrencean, half-giant, and hobgoblin tribes together, known as Alivive, was able to establish official borders to their territory thought these alliances. Throughout these lands, Myrenceans see someone only being deemed worthy if it can be taken.

Myrenceans to the north in the Trislands are also known as Witches. This title was first a mark of death an ill-omen to women who were accused of adultery, or using magic to seduce men into adultery. However, these islands had a bloody uprising by not only the Witches, but all women on the isles. The cruel treatment of women and non-hetero normative people built up rage over the centuries before "The Night of Blood" eradicated all male identifying myrenceans.

Cultural Fluidity

Myrenceans as a whole are not known for any single cultural identifier. Myrenceans are the second most populace race across Ganya, and have created numerous empires, countries, towns, and villages. They have intertwined themselves amongst elves, Tieflings, giants, goblinoids, and all sorts of various others to help build the world into what it is today.

Canisovan

All across the world of Titan, various descendants of the first wolves diversified themselves as they came across the new lands they roamed. Running across the Golden Fields to play with their comrades or climbing high into the mountains and building dense fur coats, these people are as diverse as they come while still sharing a common heritage. Canisovans take on the aspects of the type of canine lineage they come from, whether that be the thin and speedy Greylings or the happy-go-lucky Corgonians.

Many dryads will stay home to protect their forest along with other fey. Seeing one outside of their tree or their forest is a rare experience; these dryads make powerful companions.

Those who come from a dwarf and elf parent tend to have a sturdy and stout torso, with slightly thinner and longer extremities. Their ears tend to look like those of a half elf, and it is common to see these fey-touched beings with strong beards. The dwarvish genes for a hearty beard transcend almost every known pairing of dwarves and another humanoid species, even Dragonborn and Lizardfolk.

Earth Golem

The Earth Golems were created as living weapons during a time known as The Ending War. They were created by the various races that created The Warlock Territories. They were bound to their masters at first, but nearing the end of the war, the golems developed sentience and overthrew their creators. It's currently unknown what caused this spark of life to ignite within them, whether it was one of The Sorcerers, or a defect that turned into a feature.

Mana from the Heavens

You do not need to eat or breathe as the light from the sun and Apex provide ample amounts of energy to be absorbed.

Flumphkin

Flumphkin are the byproduct of a flumph absorbing the physical, spiritual, and psionic essence of another creature. Typically, these are drow, illithids, or other denizens of the Underdark; however, this process can involve any other humanoid.

This creates a flumphkin that highly resembles the original creature, with ethereal, cloud-like wisps at the fringes of their body. On the magical worlds of The System, where an underdark exists, flumphkin are not common, but not unheard of.

Flumph Knowledge

You gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Arcana, History, or Religion.

Gnoll

Gnolls are feral,
hyena-headed
humanoids
typically living in tribes on the outskirts
of civilized society.
These tribes are reluctant to
join the world around them, and hardly
ever work with non-gnolls. When threatened, a gnoll that is part of a smaller group will often lead a fight, charging in toward their enemies in a violent rampage. Gnolls that are willing to leave their pack, even for a short time, tend to be especially resilient or resourceful in order to survive alone. Gnolls often make excellent fighters, barbarians, and rangers.

They are another creation of The First Son, a deity worshipped on Titan, believed to have given life to all of the races on Titan. It is believed that his mother, The Earthen Mother, first created the world of Titan and all of its life and animals before her first son gave sentience to the various animals, creating the many monster-races on Titan.

Demon-Prince Training

You are proficient with spears, longbows, and light armor.

Bite

Your fanged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Rampage

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on your turn, you can use your bonus action to move up to half your speed and make a bite attack. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all uses at the end of a long rest.

Grippli

At first glance or from a distance, a grippli looks like a large frog. Some may even mistake them for grung. However, grippli are taller and slenderer than their grung cousins and possess a long prehensile tongue rather than a viscous poisonous secretion.

Grippli move swiftly through either water or land and are partially amphibious. They are originally from The Serpent's Maw on the world of Titan, and tend to stay in tropical and humid climates.

Your partially adhesive tongue is great for grasping out of palace items or grappling foes. You may use your tongue to grab a tiny object no more than 10 feet away from you and bring it back to you, or grapple a target within 5 feet of you.

When you grapple a creature, you can choose for them to also become restrained while the grapple persists. Once you have used your tongue to restrain a creature, you cannot use it to restrain a creature in this way again until you finish a long rest.

Standing Leap

You can leap 30 feet horizontally or 20 feet vertically from a standing position.

Languages

In addition to your known languages, you also know either Primordial or Draconic.

Gryffon

Gryffons were born when The First Son gave rise to the earliest beastfolk on the world of Titan. Gryffons were birthed from their monstrous ancestors, the Griffons, and now take on a bipedal form.

They stand slightly taller than your average human or elf, with a strong torso and lower body thanks to their lionine form. Most prominently presented are their avian feathered wings that can reach out to 8 feet in length along with a feathered avian head and beak. The type of avian head and fur pattern are different based on each Gryffon's lineage.

Rather than talons, they wield powerful claws on the tips of their fingers, and their enormous pectoral muscles enable them to lift and carry far more in flight than other flying races.

Creature Type

You are a Monstrosity.

Size

Gryffon are about 6 feet tall. They have incredibly strong and dense pectoral and abdominal muscles to help them fly without hollow bones. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Flight

You have a flying speed 30 feet while not wearing medium or heavy armor, and can move at half this speed when wearing medium armor and not encumbered.

Powerful Build

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Korred

Korreds are unpredictable, secretive fey with strong ties to the earth who are often found around mountains and stony areas. Just as strong as their bond with the earth is their ability to manipulate and control their hair as though it were an additional limb.

These magical locks can grow nearly one hundred feet long, and have a variety of uses. Korred know how to braid these locks better than any rope-maker. As fey, Korred originate from the Feywild, but soon found their way into the various mountainous regions of the Material plane. They tend to prefer the massive continent of Montis on Ganya, filled with hundreds of miles of lofty peaks stretching the length of the eastern coast.

Creature Type

Your creature type is Fey.

Size

Korred are between 3 and 4 feet tall and average about 60 pounds. Your size is Small.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Stone Camouflage

You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in rocky terrain.

Age

Korred mature at the same rate humans do, and most are expected to settle down into an adult life by around age 20. They can live 350 to almost 500 years.

Alignment

Korred grow up in the wilds of the mountains and rocky terrains. They live their life for survival, but also adhere to strict cultural norms among other korreds. They tend toward chaotic tendencies.

Darkvision

Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Languages

In additional to your known languages, you also know either Dwarvish or Gnomish, as appropriate to your background.

Magical Locks

You grow enough hair on your body every day to twine into braids up to 50 feet long that are strong enough to be used as rope. You can create a number of these braids equal to half your proficiency bonus as part of a long rest.

As an action, you can magically command one of the ropes on your body to entangle a creature. Choose a target within 30 feet of you. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw; on a failed save, the creature becomes grappled. Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. The rope’s AC and total hit points are equal to your Constitution score. The Dexterity saving throw for your rope is equal to 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus.

If the creature succeeds the saving throw, or when the grapple ends, that length of woven hair cannot be used in this way again. However, it can still be cut and used as a rope for the next 24 hours, after which the hair loses its strength and breaks apart.

Stone Strength

While on the ground, you deal extra damage when using a melee weapon that requires Strength. You deal an extra point of damage per number of damage dice of the weapon used.

Krawlling

The krawlling are a form of insectoid creatures that have four legs protruding from their abdomen, along with two arms on their thorax. Originally giant insects, they evolved quickly into an intelligent hive-minded species. Each possessed of an insectoid head and hardened carapace, these beings are incredible fighters and protectors. They dwell below the mountains of Montis on Ganya as a rival-hive mind to the ancient myconid Decidius. Krawllings never truly leave the hive-mind, and can telepathically speak to others of their kind.

Superior Darkvision

Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Limited Pack Tactics

You may add a 1d4 to a melee attack roll against a creature, if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn’t incapacitated.

Natural Armor

Due to your insectoid form, you are ill-suited to wearing armor. Your exoskeleton provides ample protection, however; it gives you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn’t affect this number). You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield’s bonus as normal.

Spider Climb

You can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Limited Telepathy

You can telepathically communicate with any other Krawlling within 120 feet of you.

Lamia

The beautiful and seductive lamia use their incredible charismatic touch and leonine form to mix and match strength and savvy. These monstrosities are said to have once been the most beautiful elvish women in the Endoza Kingdom that left their lives as concubines and consorts to find riches in the forgotten ruins of the Criton desert.

This band of women were never seen from again, but the terrifying lamia soon began to terrorize travelling merchants and adventurers. Many believe a demon lord captured their souls and transformed them into the first lamia. Now these creations are capable of reproducing asexually, using the arcane weave of magic to manifest a lamia's child over time.

Lamia are almost always women, but some male lamia's have been seen, although rare. Lamia are typically solitary beings but some will occasionally leave their ruins of luxury to seek new fortunes elsewhere in the world.

Creature Type

You are a Monstrosity.

Size

Lamia stand between 5 and 6 feet tall, with their feline bodies reaching about 3 feet at the withers. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Lamia matures at about the same rate as humans, but can live to be over 200 years old.

Alignment

Lamia's are naturally tyrannical and crave rulership over the weak. They tend toward evil alignments.

Claws

Your claws are natural melee weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Darkvision

Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Hidden from the Peasants

You can cast the disguise self spell at will, disguising yourself as any bipedal Humanoid. Your longer leonin form still remains but appears invisible as part of the illusion.

Intoxicating Touch

You can make a melee spell attack against a creature, using Charisma as your spellcasting ability modifier. If the attack hits, the target is magically cursed for 1 minute and has disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws and ability checks.

The creature can make a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Powerful Build

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Once you have used this ability you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

Languages

In addition to your known languages, you can speak, read, and write Abyssal.

Lobsterfolk

Lobsterfolk are known to be found all throughout Titan. From the moderate climate off the coasts of Erhaus to the tropics of the Serpent's Maw, Lobsterfolk can be found. Due to their far-reaching nature, their culture can drastically vary based on the climate. Some Lobsterfolk live exclusively in the deepest depths of the oceans while others have made homes closer to the mainland.

Lobsterfolk are unique in their bodily design compared to other beastfolk. They have a total of 10 legs that run from their low-lying tail all the way to the base of their chest area. Eight of these legs are used exclusivley to walk and swim while the top-most pair are equipped with multiple pincers designed to handle and manipulate small objects.

Creature Type

You are a Monstrosity.

Size

Lobsterfolk's stand roughly 7 to 8 feet tall, and their thin attenae can extend up to a foot higher. You are Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet, and have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.

Hardened Carapace

Your unique crustacean form makes it impossible for you to wear armor. However, your carapace provides ample protection. Your AC is 15 + your Dexterity modifier, to a maximum of 3.

Darkvision

You can see in dim light within 60 feet of yourself as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.

Pincer Legs

You have two slightly smaller pincer legs below your claws that can use a magic item, open/close a door or container, pick up or set down a Tiny object, or wield a shield.

Amphibious

You can breathe air and water.

Oversized Claws

Lobsterfolk have evolved to have massive claws that are used to protect, attack, and attract mates. These claws are, however, not well suited for handling most weapons the typical adventurer wields. You are incapable of using ranged weapons except with those that have the two-handed property and utilize a trigger mechanism (such as a crossbow or musket). You also cannot use melee weapons except for those with the two-handed and heavy property or the special property. These claws also cannot wield a shield, interact with Tiny objects, or manipulate magic items, relying on their Pincer Legs for such things.

While these claws are limiting in the weapons a Lobsterfolk can use, they are incredibly powerful. These claws can be used to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d8 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Immediately after hitting, you can try to grapple the target as a bonus action.

Strength of the Deep

Lobsterfolk's unique form has made them ideal for carrying, moving, and other manual labor in the oceans. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Ageless Nature

Lobsterfolk's nature has made them immune to the effects of aging, but are still susceptible to disease, injury, and other means of death. You do not age, and are immune to magical effects that would alter your age.

Meepling

Meeplings are cavern-dwelling humanoid creatures. They have lived their entire species' lives in a single cave in The Endless Strait on Ganya. Meepling mythology speaks of the Great Gods who passed through their homestead and ushered in the "Era of Meepsperity". In this time, the Meeplings experienced the greatest economic and technological booms in their history. The caverns they called home became lined with shopping malls, stores, apartments, and much more.

Rapid growth in their cattle population led to faster and sustained growth of the Meepling society. With access to better nutrition and medical practices, the average height of Meeplings grew from just a few inches to well over two feet.

You are Humanoid.

Size

Meeplings average around 2 feet tall and weigh less than 20 pounds. Your size is Small.

Swift Feet

Quick to scurry under and away from danger, meeplings are adept escapists. You can Dash as a bonus action, and you may use your reaction to cause attacks of opportunity against you to be made at disadvantage until the end of your turn.

Lastly, you can move underneath a creature one size larger than you, and this movement does not count as difficult terrain.

Meepling Energy

When others would normally become exhausted, Meeplings can harness a reserve of energy to keep them going. Over the course of a short rest, you can remove a single point of exhaustion and gain temporary hit points equal to your level. Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Meepling Knowledge

When you make an ability check with a set of Artisan tools, you may do so with advantage.

Mustels

The small badger-like humanoids known as mustels are all as different as they are similar to another. Some use endurance and hyper fixation to wear down their prey, while others use their sheer force of will and fury to defeat foes ten times their size. These folk found a way to survive in their respective climates and although those climates have changed the way each mustel looks, they all share a similar ancestor, keen on survival.

Creature Type

You are considered a Humanoid and Beast.

Mustel Traits

Your mustel character has certain characteristics in common with all other mustels.

Size

Mustels range in size based on their subrace, and can be found standing anywhere from 2 feet to over 4 feet tall. Your size is Small.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Bite

Your maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Age

Mustels reach maturity in typically 5 years and otter kin reach adulthood around 10 years old. They live, on average, around 50 years but can live up to 100.

Alignment

The alignment of a mustel typically depends on its subrace, which highly influences its actions. These subraces range the spectrum from the typically Chaotic Neutral badgerkin to the heinous hidden lawful evil nature of the otterlin.

Mustel Adaption

You gain proficiency in two skills of your choice.

Subspecies Heritage

Four major subspecies of mustels are found among the world Titan, in The System: badgerkin, otterlin, stoutling, and wolvers. Choose one of these Subspecies Heritages and gain the associated benefits.

Badgerkin

The badgerkin were one of the earliest subraces of mustels. Badgerkin are highly independent and learn from a very young age how to survive on their own. Those that don't heed the lessons early, simply don't become badgerkin. Badgerkin have had such an effect on their ecosystem that some tabaxi cubs are born with an early coat that resembles them to better hide from badgerkin hunters.

Most Badgerkin are identifiable by the dark black or brown fur on their sides and bellies with a stark white head of hair that continues down their back. Their skin is incredibly tough, deflecting blows and protecting themselves from mortal strikes thanks to the thickness of their hide.

Resistant Hide

Your tough hide protects you from the prodding spikes of a giant porcupine or the tip of a lance. You also find yourself difficult to poison unless it is inhaled. You are resistant to nonmagical piercing damage, and poison damage from contact or injury inflicted poisons (such as from a poisoned dagger or arrow, but not from damage such as a green dragon's breath weapon).

In the Face of Fear

Badgerkin make up for what they lack in size and intelligence with sheer force of will, and never back down from a fight. You are immune to the frightened condition.

Otterlin

The most intelligent of the mustels, otterlin have spent most of their existence living in or besides the waters. They have adapted to swim easily in lakes and ponds as well as look adorable to other humanoids. However, this playful and pleasant façade hides the dark and sinister side of otterlin behavior. Otterlin society, below the surface, is rife with violence, trickery, mistrust, and evil deeds. Even most other mustels are unaware of their true sinister nature.

Natural Swimmer

Your feet are webbed and your legs are naturally design to be placed firmly beside one another and swim at extraordinary speeds. You have a swimming speed of 40 feet.

Unassuming Appearance

The whimsical, playful, and social nature of the otterlin leads others to let their guard down when they are around you. As such, when you decide to unleash your ferocious otterlin nature, most are taken aback. You gain advantage on initiative rolls.

Wicked Intelligence

Otterlin know how to socialize with other mustels as well as other people, and use this to their advantage. They also are some of the most intelligent and cunning of all races. How they apply these skills is up to each otterlin. You gain proficiency in either the Deception or Investigation skill.

Stoatling

The stoatling are some of the smallest of the mustels, but have stoating the most energy. Their incredible drive keeps them chasing enemies long after the fight is over, just to tire the foe out to make a final strike. Stoatling may be small, will fight harder and longer than almost any other creature.

Endurance Fighter

Stoatling's natural enemy are the hare-like people, the Harengon. For eons these two kinds have been prey and predator. As such, stoatlings have evolved to hunt them, increasing their speed and pushing themselves past their limits to exhaust their prey. Your walking speed increases by 5 feet and your movement speed cannot be reduced by the effects of exhaustion.

Focused Killer

Stoatlings will hyper fixate on a target, even to the detriment of attacking other enemies. Once per long rest, you can designate a target as your Marked Prey for one minute. You have advantage on attack rolls against this target and disadvantage on attack rolls against all other creatures. This effect ends early if you choose to as a bonus action, the Marked Prey dies, or you attack a creature other than your Marked Prey.

Wolver

Wolvers are the elite hunters of the Mustels. Built for the freezing climates of the various worlds, wolver mustels will track their prey for days at a time to seek the perfect opportunity to strike. Combined with their rotated teeth for a bite that doesn't release, the wolverine mustels make incredible independent hunters.

Northern Hunter

Wolvers are known for their prowess hunting in the cold and snowy conditions of the northern mountains. You are resistant to cold damage and the effects of extreme cold and high altitudes.

Solo Predator

Wolvers are expert hunters and will wait days in trees for their prey to enter their meticulously laid traps. You gain proficiency in two of the following skills: Survival, Intimidation, Stealth, and Perception.

Nymphs

These fey are powerful and typically do not leave their domain of the feywild. Divine servants that inhabit unspoiled corners of the world, nymphs protect places of natural power and infuse their surroundings with the magic of The Three Sisters, a trio of Greater Sorcerers. A nymph that is willing to adventure into the Material plane is a rare specimen. Nymphs can embody the benevolent love of the earth, the wrathful power of fire, and many other natural forces.

Nymphs will tend to congregate in areas filled with nature and devoid of humanoid life. Large empty woods, stretches of roving plains, or volatile volcanic areas are known to attract these fey.

Creature Type

Your creature type is Fey.

Size

Nymphs range from 3 to 6 feet tall, depending on where they came from in the feywild. Your size is Small or Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Age

Although nymphs reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, their service to the gods goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. A nymph typically claims adulthood around the age of 20 and can live to be over 500 years old.

Darkvision

Accustomed to the various lands in nature, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Immortal Nature

A nymph does not require food or drink.

Divine Servant

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Nymph Restlessness

When you take a long rest, you only need to spend at least 4 hours resting in a motionless state. In this state, you are not unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

Alseid

Touched with the golden light of the sun, alseids inhabit meadows, plains, and lands of cultivated natural beauty. Many live in closer proximity to human civilization than other nymphs.

Workers of the land throughout Ganya and Titan will pray for an alseid to bless their crops with a plentiful bounty. These farmers leave tithes of their harvest in hopes of these blessings. A beekeeper might leave a piece of honeycomb, a winemaker a cup of wine, or a wheat harvester a piece of fresh bread.

Hiding in Plain Sight

You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide while you are in grassland.

Divine Cultivator

You are a servant of the gods using the magic of Nyx. You gain the following benefits:

• You have resistance to radiant damage
• You can cast create food and water and regain the ability to do so at the end of a long rest. You can only cast this if you are in grassland or within 1 mile of cultivated farmland.
• You know the mold earth cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast calm emotions once per long rest without expending a spell slot. At 5th level, you can cast plant growth once per long rest using this trait. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting modifier for these spells (your choice when you choose this race).

Lampad

Lampads are typically seen as bad omens, but they are a natural part of the process of death. Lampads have been known to offer their services to Dyorra, the Sorcerer of Death. She uses them to usher powerful souls to the afterlife, or on occasion, directly to her.

Lampads typically spend their existence within the Shadowfell, the domain of Dyorra.

Corpse Stride

You can use 10 feet of movement to step magically into a corpse within your reach and emerge from a second creature’s corpse within 60 feet of the first corpse, appearing in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the second corpse. Both corpses must be Medium or bigger.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

• You have resistance to necrotic damage.
• You know the thaumaturgy cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the gentle repose spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the speak with dead spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting modifier for these spells (your choice when you choose this race).

Naiad

Naiads live in and near water. They can often be seen in the Web of Rivers on Ganya, or near the Serpent's Maw on Titan. Wherever there are rivers and seas, naiads will gather together to revel in the might of the waters. Many Naiads will find a body of water they prefer and stay near that water for most of their lives until they are forced to leave. On Ganya, naiads are believed to be creations of Amdore to help protect and patrol the seas.

Invisible in Water

When you are fully submerged in water, you may use an action to become invisible until you cast a spell or make an attack. You must concentrate on this as if you were concentrating on a spell.

Aquatic Hypnotics

You are a servant of the gods using the magic of Nyx. You gain the following benefits:

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting modifier for these spells (your choice when you choose this race).

One With Waves

You have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed and you can breathe underwater.

Oread

An angered oread can be one of the most dangerous types of nymphs. These hot-headed fey embody the natural element of fire and live near the erupting volcanoes or scorching deserts.

Oreads can also be responsible for cleansing wildefires. Many oreads revel in the natural destruction that inhabits the various worlds of The System.

Limited Fire Immunity

You are immune to nonmagical fire such as campfires, large ovens, and bonfires (but not molten solids such as lava, or magma).

When you are fully engulfed in nonmagical fire, you may use an action to become invisible until you cast a spell or make an attack. You must concentrate on this as if you were concentrating on a spell.

• You have resistance to fire damage.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting modifier for these spells (your choice when you choose this race).

Plane Screamer

There are beings who have had planar energy shunted into their soul through any number of means. Whether through a collapsing Ancient Void Dragon, planar spirit possession you, or other powerful magic, Plane Screamers are unstable mixtures of the Prime Material and another plane of existence.

The various planes in the world are often inhospitable to natives of the Material Plane: pitch black abysses, fiends and devils, boundless skies, and an endless void make actually entering these places dangerous for even a short time. However, energy from these other planes can still seep into the Material.

When Plane Screamers are created, it is often through dangerous circumstances and dark beginnings. Some Screamers do not know how they were made, others felt the blast of Planar Energy change their soul.

Creature Type.

You are a Humanoid.

Age

Screamers age depending on the race they were before their transformation. However, the planar energy inside of a Screamer is believed to keep them alive for an additional several hundred years.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Planar Origin

Select one of the following Planar Origin options from below and gain the associated benefits.

Abyssal Screamer

The Abyssal Plane birthed the demons and devils that rule above them. Unfathomable darkness and evil lies in this plane, and its resurgence to the Material is a danger to all. These Screamers give in to dark desires and lead themselves toward chaotic madness.

Layer Survival

The Abyss is filled with near infinite layers, differing with each one traversed. To be able to survive the Abyss, you need to be able to survive all conditions. You gain proficiency in the Survival skill and may double your proficiency bonus for checks made with this skill.

Breath Adaptability

The endless layers of the Abyss require not only survival skills, but adaptability like no other. You are able to breathe in any environment (including a vacuum), and you have advantage on saving throws against harmful gases such as those created by a cloudkill spell, a stinking cloud spell, inhaled poisons, and gaseous breath weapons.

Abyssal Tongue

In addition to your known languages, you also know Abyssal.

Astral Screamer

The Astral Plane is a timeless space for travelers to cross and enter new planes and realms. Astral energy that infuses into a Screamer gifts it with a strange relationship with time. Astral Screamers perceive time faster than others on the prime material and can occasionally harness that energy.

Timeless Energy

The Astral energy infused into these Screamers anchors them in time with the Astral Sea. As such, Astral Screamers are locked in time at the age they were when they were infused. You do not age, and cannot be affected by age altering spells or magical effects.

Quickened Time

You can harness your Astral energy to move faster than those from other planes. You can take one of the following actions as a bonus action, rather than an action: Attack (one weapon attack), Dash, Hide, Cast a Spell (3rd level or lower).

You may use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all uses at the end of a long rest.

Ethereal Screamer

The Ethereal Plane is home to strange floating beings. Often harmless, but it's not the native inhabitants that are the dangers of the Ethereal. Ghosts, Undead, and various other beings use the Ethereal to traverse the Material in peace. Cross one of these beings, and the Ethereal can change from tranquil to perilous. Ethereal Screamers often are in perpetual suffering due to their in-between nature, or intrigued by their new ethereal abilities.

Incorporeal Form

When Ethereal Screamers don't choose to enter the Ethereal Plane completely, they can become partially incorporeal. As a reaction when you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from a weapon attack you may become partially incorporeal, granting you resistance to the triggering attack's damage.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Ethereal Transition

The close proximity of the Ethereal Plane makes Screamers of this kind capable of transitioning to the Ethereal Plane much easier than other. As a bonus action, you can enter the Ethereal Plane until the start of your next turn.

While on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and hear the plane you originated from, which is cast in shades of gray, and you can't see anything more than 60 feet away. You can only affect and be affected by other creatures on the Ethereal Plane. Creatures that aren't on the Ethereal Plane can't perceive you or interact with you, unless they have the ability to do so.

Once you use this ability you cannot do so until you finish a long rest.

Fey Screamer

The Feywild is a naturally chaotic and free place. But mixed with the dark energies and violent chaos that creates a screamer, this free-loving chaotic energy can turn chaotically violent at a moment's notice. Fey Screamers often can suffer from split personality disorders, manic personalities, and rapid mood swings.

Fey Grace

You are able to briefly jump between the plane you are on to the feywild and back. You can cast misty step and regain the ability to do so once you complete a long rest. Additionally, when you return, you have a charm from the feywild in your hair or on your person. This charm can either be a flower, twig, pinecone, or other tiny naturally occurring object.

You may also cast this spell with any spell slots of 2nd level or higher that you have available to you. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose the ability when you gain this lineage).

Tongue of the Fey

The history of the Feywild is just as connected to its language as it is its forests. In addition to your known languages, you can speak, read, and write, Sylvan and Elvish

Many-Hells Screamer

As a Many-Hells Screamer, you have been infused with fiendish energy. Many-Hells Screamers look like their original race, but infused with fiendish traits. Horns, hooved feet, a forked tongue, or another fiendish mark is made upon your physical form. Because any race of people can become a Many-Hells Screamer, this can create hideous and terrifying combinations like fiendish half-orcs and infernal goliaths.

Terrible Tongue

You have advantage on Intimidation, Persuasion, and Deception checks with creatures other than beasts and fiends. In addition to your known languages, you can also speak, read, and write Infernal.

Scorched Skin

Your skin is burned and charred from the fires of the Many-Hells. You have resistance to fire damage.

Negative Screamer

The souls unfortunate enough to be infused with the Negative Energy plane are permanently altered in their form. Life drains from them as only undead are able to withstand the energy of this plane. Negative Screamers are in touch with necrotic, deathly energies and harness them without remorse.

Undead and Turn Immunity

Only the heartiest undead are able to withstand the extreme negative energies of this plane. Screamers of this kind are transformed into an undead, but still retain some of their living soul. Your creature type is Humanoid, and also Undead. You are also immune to Turn Undead effects.

Negative Magic

Negative Screamers can harness necrotic energy into the Material Plane for devastating effects.

• You learn the chill touch cantrip. Starting at 3rd level you can cast the darkness spell without expending a spell slot, and regain the ability to do so at the end of a long rest. You may also cast this spell with any spell slots you have. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race). None of these spells require spell components when you cast them with this trait.

Positive Screamer

Positive Screamers have a connection to the Positive Energy Plane, and thus to one of the fundamental forces that make up the known universe. Those affected with energy from this plane have a closer connection to healing energies, and life. Positive Screamers are known to be more enlightened, and more easily connect with deities associated with healing.

Positive Energy Flood

You tap the Positive Energy Plane to flood a creature with restorative energy. As an action, you can heal a creature for 1d6 + your proficiency bonus, and can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned.

Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Light Bringer

The Positive Energy Plane is described as an infinite plane of life-giving light. This light, however, can be so immense that it can blind and scald those who are unprotected. You learn the light cantrip, and starting at 5th level you gain the ability to cast the daylight spell once without expending a spell slot and regain the ability to do so at the end of a long rest. You are also able to cast this spell with any spell slots you have available to you.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race). None of these spells require spell components when you cast them with this trait.

Shadow Screamer

The Shadowfell is home to nightmarish creatures and abyssal darkness. It drives many from the Prime Material mad, but Shadow Screamers have been able to survive this darkness. They are now morphed by the shadows, forever acclimated to the darkness.

Superior Darkvision

The Shadow energy lurking inside of Shadow Screamers attunes them with the night and shadow. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Shadow Mask

The natural shapeshifting abilities of shades has been gifted to Shadow Screamers. You are able to summon a shadowy mask that covers your body. You can cast Disguise Self a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Void Screamer

The Prison of Ryras, the Space Between, Nothingness. All are terms to describe what lies within the Void. Being able to withstand the planar energies of the Void are worthy of immense power. Void Screamers are the most erratic, psionically capable, and deadliest of Screamers.

Call of the Void

The Void goes beyond the physical and into the metaphysical. Speech without moving your lips and using your mind to communicate comes naturally to Void Screamers. You able to telepathically communicate with any single creature within 60 feet of you. You do not need to share a language to communicate this way, but the target must speak a language.

Protection of the Void

The many voices within the void have cluttered the minds of Void Screamers. This static noise drowns out other mind-altering effects. You gain resistance to psychic damage and have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, frightened, or possessed.

Treantling

Treantlings dwell throughout Titan and Ganya in the various forests of each world. While not as large as their cousin, Treants, Treantlings are capable fighters that can use their branches to swat at foes that come to close. Their extremely large form is covered in a protective bark that grants them natural protection as well.

Treantlings come in many shapes and sizes. Some look like treants, but only around 9 feet tall, while others look more like a traditional humanoid covered in vines, leaves, and bark. Many Treantlings find a natural connection with animals such as birds, squirrels, and other tree-dwelling creatures.

While treants have incredible power, strength, and stealth in nature, they have a deadly enemy that they can never escape. Treants fear fire and try to avoid it when possible.

Branches

False Appearance

While you remain motionless, you are indistinguishable from a normal tree.

Fire Susceptibility

Your plant form leaves you susceptible to fire damage. Whenever you are dealt fire damage, you lose an additional 1d6 hit points.

Troglodyte

While many tribes of Troglodytes tend to fall into the pit of savagery, thievery, and barbarism, there are those that have stepped out from the darkness and embraced the light of the surface. Troglodytes were believed to be a creation of The First Son that was corrupted during their creation.

Troglogytes worship a deity known as Laozed, who many across Titan believe to be a false god. Others who have been able to study Troglodyte culture and survive, believe Laozed was the being that corrupted The First Son's creation in the first place. Troglodytes can be found all around Titan in dank caves or near swamps.

Troglodytes, surprisingly, exist on both worlds. People on Ganya are unsure how they ever got there, as Troglodytes from both worlds provide the same creation myth.

People on Ganya believe they just simply, "Crawled out from the depths of the world itself".

On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to your stench and of all troglodytes for 24 hours.

Natural Weapons

You have claws and a razor sharp bite that each can be used to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with either of them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing or piercing damage (slashing for claws and piercing for your bite) damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Sunlight Sensitivity

You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

Ursidons

Ursidons are massive, bear-like humanoids that can sometimes be confused with those suffering from werebear lycanthropy. But contrary to popular belief, Ursidons are not cursed humanoids who go savage under the full moon. These bear-like people live in the various wild lands of the world, often sticking to their own kind. The Polar Ursidons to the far north or the Grizzled Ursidons that inhabit the various forests.

You can speak, read, and write Common, Sylvan, and Ursidonion, a language spoken by all Ursidon.

Dark

The Dark Ursidons are identified from their entirely black coat that covers them. On average, they are smaller in stature than other Ursidons but can hunt in trees, as well as the ground. Nowhere in a forest is safe from the Black Ursidon, and their knack for ingenuity and creativity has left them as one of the largest existing clans of Ursidons.

Smokey Past

The intrusion of humans, elves, and dwarves has left your forests burning, and wildfires are all too common. Your people have adapted to such things over the centuries. You are resistant to fire damage.

Kaidok

The Kaidok are the largest of all Ursidons and use their massive size to ingest incredible amounts of anything they can find. Defined as opportunistic eaters, Kaidok Ursidons attain their stature from simply engorging on everything around them and turning it into a thick, protective layer.

Kaidok Heartiness

Your large size leaves you heartier than even the heartiest of Ursidons. Your hit point maximum increases by one and increases by one for each level gained after first.

Polar

Polar Ursidons exist in the northern poles of the world and typically stay to themselves being more solitary than social. This solitude has resulted in incredible heartiness and the ability to hunt in areas most others would freeze in.

Built for Ice

Natural Swimmer

Your hollow, water-repellant fur, buoyant fat layer, and extra-large paws have made you an adept swimmer. You have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.

Sayburgh

Sayburgh are the combination of unfortunate circumstance with powerful artifice. At some point in your past, a terrible accident or tragedy befell you, leaving only few vital organs organic and not made of cold steel and metal replacements. Your head, throat, lungs, heart, liver, and spine all remain intact, but the rest of your body has been replaced with metal and the power of artifice.

Those who have undergone this transformation often take on a different approach to life than before. Some will view the world as dangerous and those within it in need of protecting while other sayburgh view the organic kin with disdain and weakness.

Creature Type

You are a Humanoid and a Construct.

Humanoid Ancestry

Choose a Humanoid race other than Sayburgh. You are also considered that race for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be that race.

This shield can not be disarmed from you and remains until you use an action to create a shield on your other arm, you end this effect as an action, or enter the area of an antimagic field.

Magical Infusions

During your design, your creators ensured you were capable and protected. Choose one magical infusion at level one and then a second magical infusion at level five. These infusions' effects are suppressed while in the area of an antimagic field.

At 1st level, choose one of the following options:

• Clockwork Accuracy - You have an amulet implanted into your chest with extra planar clockwork magic. When you make an attack roll, you can forgo rolling the d20 to get a 10 on the die.

You may use Constitution instead of Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls of this attack. One a hit, the creature takes 1d10 fire damage + your Dexterity or Constitution modifier, depending on the ability used to make the attack. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 11th level (3d10) and 17th level (4d10). You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Xvarts

Xvarts are typically cruel and evil beings that enjoy the suffering of others. These short, blue humanoids have been found throughout the caverns of Ganya and tend to look like hideous version of other humanoids. Overly long ears, receding hairlines, and odd facial proportions.

Xvarts live in remote hills, forests, and caves. A tribe of xvarts is typically led by a speaker or chief. For as cowardly and savage race of people, xvarts will tend to value intelligence, electing the smartest amongst them as their speaker.

The speaker is the tribe’s ambassador, and often dons short wooden stilts and heavy robes to look taller and more imperious when interacting with non-xvarts. This disguise can typically fool the passing traveler, but an xvart leader will run back to their tribe if they believe they are being caught.

Yakfolk are typically found in the more mountainous regions of Kaladai to the north, near the border of Kyroheim.

They are typically quiet and peaceful folk that have a culture that is highly attuned with The Shepherd, the deity that brings the souls of the living to the land of the dead. However, this peacefulness can be quickly shattered if they are wronged. And just as quickly as a yakfolk friend can be made, a foe can be made for life.

Barbarian: Path of the Earthen Protector

The Path of the Earthen Protector is meant for those who feel a calling to the natural world, and a need to protect it. Whether this is from a spirit asking for your aid, a nature deity reaching out to you, or your personal convictions to protect nature, you have sworn to protect it.

Barbarians who follow this path often find themselves alongside druidic clans or roaming nomads outside the bounds of urban society.

Mother’s Tongue

Starting at 3rd level, you are able to speak with plants similarly as other barbarians and druids speak with animals.

You can communicate with nonmagical plants, and are able to understand simple, one-word answers from them. Communication in this fashion is conveyed silently by an emotional connection and subtle movements, rather than a traditional spoken language or telepathy.

Nature’s Wrath

When you reach 3rd level, the power of your rage is fueled by the world around you. When you rage, consult your DM what environment you are currently in, from the following list. Your rage changes based on the environment. Alternatively, instead of the rage benefit associated with the environment you are currently in, you may roll a d10 and take the associated rage benefit.

Woodland Protection

Starting at 6th level, nature binds itself to your very skin. You become permanently under the effects of the barkskin spell. You can choose the appearance of the spell effect or can choose to make it invisible.

Nature’s Aggression

At 10th level, nature comes to your aid when you need it most. Once per long rest you can cast guardian of nature. You are able to cast this spell and concentrate on it while you are raging.

Bard: College of Boom

While traversing multiple planes of existence, an adventuring bard observed a natural outcrop of metal with a unique energy emanating from within. Curious, he harvested the crop and began studying the material upon returning to his plane. What he discovered was the metal had a natural regenerative energy that could be magically charged with the appropriate procedure. Carefully breaking the metal down into chips, he realized he could focus the metal’s regenerative ability. With this hunger for cutting-edge firearms, magic and explosives, a new Bard College was brought into existence, the College of Boom.

Boomsmith

You gain proficiency in Firearms, Tinker’s Tools, and Smith’s Tools. With one week of time and half the requisite gold listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide, you can craft a firearm. You are also able to craft 10 bullets over the course of a long rest, provided you have your Smith's Tools or Tinker's Tools with you.

Bonded Banger

When you choose this college at 3rd level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and a firearm, this firearm is called a Banger.

You perform the ritual over the course of one hour, which can be done during a short rest. The firearm chosen must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the firearm and forge the bond, turning it into your Banger. Once you have bonded a Banger to yourself, you can’t be disarmed of that Banger unless you are incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence, you can summon that Banger as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand.

You can have one bonded Banger. If you attempt to bond with a second firearm, you break the bond with the previous firearm.

Boom Shots

Starting at 3rd level, you have gained access to a variety of Boom Shots which are fueled by your Bardic Inspiration dice.

• Buffer Boom. When you make an attack with your Banger, you may expend a Bardic Inspiration die to create a buffer between yourself and that creature. If the attack hits, roll your Bardic Inspiration die and add it to the damage roll. You, or a creature within 5 feet of the target of your attack gains a bonus to their Armor Class equal to the roll of your Bardic Inspiration die until the start of your next turn. If you roll a critical hit with your Banger when using this boom shot, the target of your attack has disadvantage on attack rolls until the start of your next turn.

• Bass Boom. When you make an attack with your Banger, you may expend a Bardic Inspiration die to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target. The damage equals a roll of your Bardic Inspiration die. If the attack hits, you can push the target 10 feet away from you. If you roll a critical hit with your Banger when using this boom shot, the target must succeed a Strength saving throw against your Bard spell save DC or be knocked prone.

• Vampiric Boom. When you make an attack with your Banger, you may expend a Bardic Inspiration die to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target. The damage equals a roll of your Bardic Inspiration die. Then, choose a creature within 30 feet of your target. That creature regains hit points equal to half the damage dealt. If you roll a critical hit with your Banger when using this boom shot, the creature that regains hit points also gains temporary hit points equal to a roll of your Bardic Inspiration die.

• Future Boom. When you make an attack with your Banger, you may expend a Bardic Inspiration die to gain insight into the creature’s future actions. If the attack hits, the next attack roll against that creature has advantage. If you roll a critical hit with your Banger when using this boom shot, attack rolls against that creature are made with advantage until the start of your next turn.

Specialty Marksman

Starting at 6th level, you can shoot firearms in rapid succession, with expert aim. When you take the Attack action and attack with a firearm, you can make a second attack as part of that same action. Additionally, choose a unique Marksman style.

• Close Quarter Shooter. Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls.

• Distant Marksman. Attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls.

When you gain a level in this class that grants an Ability Score Increase, you may change your Marksman style for another.

Soul Bullets

At 14th level, you have learned to suffuse your magic and soul into the bullets used in your Banger. At the end of a long rest, you can create a number of “Soul Bullets” equal to your Charisma modifier.

To create a Soul Bullet, you must expend one spell slot and one hit die into a piece of ammunition for your Banger. The ammunition then gains a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to half the level of the spell (minimum 1, to a maximum of +3). The bullet also deals an additional 1d12 force damage per level of the spell slot expended (maximum 6d12).

If you roll a critical hit with a Soul Bullet, you regain hit points equal to two rolls of the hit dice spent into the ammunition.

Bard: College of the Frontier

Bards of the College of the Frontier are the most solitary college. Their song and dance are shown through their marksman skills, many lead lives as gunslingers, lawmen, and outlaws in the frontier. Many lands throughout The System have yet to be explored, even with history dating back thousands of years. Monster infested forests roam the lands booming populations look to settle. Bards of the Frontier are often sought to help settle these wild lands.

The creature gains temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + your paladin level and is resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage while they have these hit points.

Shield Bash. As a reaction, when a creature you can see within 5 feet of you makes a weapon attack roll against you or another creature within 5 feet of you, you may attempt to interrupt their action, provided you are wielding a shield. Add your shield's AC bonus to the AC of the creature targeted by the attack. Regardless if the attack hits or misses, the attacker must make a Constitution saving throw against your Paladin spell save DC or become stunned until the start of their next turn.

Aura of Armor

Starting at 7th level, you gain +1 to your AC while wearing armor, as do all friendly creatures within 10 feet of you if they are also wearing armor.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Innate Protector

Starting at 15th level, you can cast Shield of Faith at will.

Rally

• Your movement speed increases by 15 feet.
• You can use your Armor Pack Channel Divinity option as a bonus action, and can use it an unlimited number of times while in this form without expending a use of your Channel Divinity.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Ranger: Affliction Skirmisher

An Affliction Skirmisher doesn't hide in a roost and wait for their prey to walk into a trap. Affliction Skirmishers use the power of curses and deadly affliction through melee strikes to torture and incapacitate their foes. Afflictions are a mix of blood magic, curses, and traditional druidic magic that suffuse themselves to a target and hinder them until their constitution or magic can resolve it.

Affliction Skirmishers take the task and responsibility of bearing these afflictions with great weight. This magic is often kept secret except to some of the most deadly assassins and powerful druids.

Afflicting Strikes

Starting at 3rd level when you take this Archetype once per turn, when you hit a creature with a melee attack, you can apply an Affliction to the target for 1 minute. At the start of each of the afflicted creature's turns, it takes 1d4 necrotic damage for each Affliction you have placed on it.

At the end of each of the creature’s turns it can make a Constitution saving throw against your ranger spellcasting DC, ending the effect of all Afflictions and Cursed Afflictions on itself on a success.

Cursed Afflictions

Once per turn, when you apply an Affliction to a creature, you can expend a spell slot to make it a Cursed Affliction.

A creature with a Cursed Affliction takes an additional 1d6 necrotic damage when you apply the curse and suffers additional effects based on the level of spell slot expended. In addition, the creature gains a number of additional Afflictions equal to the level of spell slot expended. The list of Cursed Affliction effects can be found at the end of this subclass description.

For example, you hit a creature with your longsword attack and apply an Affliction to it, and then expend a 1st level spell slot to turn it into a Cursed Affliction. At the start of the creature’s next turn, the creature will take 2d4 necrotic damage as it has two total Afflictions, one Cursed Affliction and one regular Affliction.

A creature under a Cursed Affliction can end the effects normally by making a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, or by a Remove Curse spell or similar magic. This magic only removes the additional effects of the Cursed Afflictions, but not the total number of Afflictions the creature has.

A creature can only be under the effect of one Cursed Affliction at a time.

Feast of Absolution

Beginning at 7th level as an action, you can cleanse all Afflictions from a hostile creature within 30 ft. of you. If you cleanse at least two Afflictions from a creature, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your ranger level times the number of Afflictions cleansed.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier and regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Penance

Starting at 11th level, when you cleanse 4 or more instances of Affliction using your Feast of Absolution ability, you can also apply the same number of Penance to the creature.

• Penance. A creature affected by a Penance takes 1d4 radiant damage at the start of each of its turns for each instance of Penance it has for one minute. Only a Lesser Restoration, Dispel Magic, Remove Curse or similar magic can end this effect. A creature affected by Penance can not also be affected by Affliction.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) and regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Verdict

Starting at 11th level as an action, you can target a creature with at least one Affliction within 30 ft. of you. The creature takes necrotic damage equal to the number of Afflictions it has times your Ranger level. If the creature has less than half its hit points, this damage is increased to twice your ranger level. This damage ignores resistance to necrotic damage. The creature is then cleansed of all Afflictions.

Once you use this feature you can not do so again until you have finished a short or long rest.

Harvest Essence

Starting at 15th level, when a creature dies within 60 ft. of you, you can use your reaction to heal a number of hit points equal to 1d10 x the number of hit dice the creature had. You also regain a number of spell slot levels equal to half your proficiency bonus.

You can use this ability twice and regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

• Punish. When the creature takes necrotic damage from any source, it takes an additional 1d6 necrotic damage.

3rd-Level Effects

When you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher to create an affliction, choose one of the following effects to add to the affliction.

When you expend a spell slot of 4th level or higher to create an affliction, choose one of the following effects to add to the affliction.

• Price in Blood. When you apply this Cursed Affliction, the creature takes an additional 5d6 acid, necrotic, or poison damage. When the affliction ends, the creature takes this damage again.

Warlock: The Emissary

Your patron can come from any plane of existence and wields unimaginable power. Your patron however is untrusting of mortals and cautious of granting even a fraction of their powers to these unpredictable beings. They still require the service of mortals to do their bidding on the material plane and instead of given powers directly they create and send an emissary.

The emissary acts as a bridge between you and your patron allowing them to more closely control you and your magic. The emissary is formed of pure magical energy molded by your patron into the appearance of a mortal creature of their choosing. This arrangement also allows the warlock to use the emissaries physical form as an extension of themselves. This bond does have its drawbacks if the emissary is destroyed so too is your connection to your patron where all of your magical powers dwell.

Expanded Spell List

The Emissary lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you

Emissary Spells

The Guide

Starting at 1st level you receive an emissary from your patron. This is a creature that either represents them or is in some way connected to your patron.

• Your emissary can be a creature CR 1 or lower that is not a construct or humanoid and must be Small or smaller. Work with your DM to determine what creature is right for your specific patron.
• Your emissary counts a familiar for you and you gain all the benefits from it as if you had cast the find familiar spell.
• Your emissary's Charisma score and proficiency bonus are replaced with your own and loses it's multiattack ability if it has it. Its maximum hit points is equal to half of your maximum hit points, and has a number of hit dice equal to half your warlock level (minimum 1).
• If your emissary can cast spells, they cannot cast spells of a level higher than you highest pact level slot. If your emissary is capable of casting more than one spell in a day, it can only cast a total number of leveled spells each day equal to half your proficiency bonus.
• If your emissary is not able to cast a cantrip or does not have a listed spell attack in their stat block, it learns one warlock cantrip that you know and learns a new cantrip you know each time you learn one. Charisma is its spellcasting ability modifier. The number of damage dice rolled or number of beams created (if casting the eldritch blast spell) is equal to yours minus 1 (to a minimum of 1).

If your emissary is killed or otherwise destroyed your connection to your patron is severed, and you are no longer able to r

While any allied creature is within 5 feet of your emissary they also gain resistance to that damage type.

Final Breath

At 14th level your mastery of the emissary allows you to absorb and transfer energy from one being to another. When a hostile creature is reduced to 0 hit points or is otherwise destroyed within 10 feet of you or your emissary, you or your emissary may use their reaction to heal any other allied creature within 30 feet of itself by 4d8 + its Charisma modifier.

You and your emissary may use this ability a total number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Warlock Patron: The Unknown One

This being is some sort of god, but not one you've heard of. While it is similar to a celestial that some Warlocks make pacts with, this one is even more mysterious.

If the Blod Oak takes 50 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the Blod Oak must succeed on a DC 25 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the Blod Oak.

Even if the eyepad is flipped upside-down, the rider will stick to the eyepad's surface. Additionally, any effect that teleports the eyepad or it's rider effects both creatures.

Connected Mind. The eyepad cannot be targeted by an enchantment or divination spell and is immune to psychic damage when targeted directly, as it has no mind of its own.

If the eyepad makes a successful saving throw against a spell, or a spell attack misses it, the eyepad or its rider can choose another creature (including the spellcaster) it can see within 60 feet of it. The spell targets the chosen creature instead of the eyepad. If the spell forced a saving throw, the chosen creature makes its own save. If the spell was an attack, the attack roll is rerolled against the chosen creature.

• Fuse Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or one of their wielded or worn metal objects becomes under the effect of the heat metal spell for 1 minute.
• Deformation Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be polymorphed into a nothic for 1 minute or until it is reduced to 0 hit points. If the target reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to their normal form.
• Insanity Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or become mad. While mad, the creature must use its action to make one melee weapon attack against a creature of the eyepad's choice within range before using it's movement. A creature can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.
• Stun Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is stunned until the end of the eyepad's next turn. While stunned, the creature is invisible.
• Force Ray. The targeted creature must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The eyepad can then push the creature up to 20 feet in a direction away from itself.
• Stasis Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or fall asleep and remain unconscious for 1 minute. The target also gains 10 temporary hit points. The target awakens if it takes a reduction to it's current or maximum hit point total.
• Weakening Ray. The targeted creature must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature's ability scores are reduced by 2 until it completes a short or long rest. A greater restoration spell or receiving magical healing of 40 hit points or more also removes this effect.
• Undeath Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 55 (10d10) necrotic damage. The target dies if the ray reduces it to 0 hit points and then rises on the start of it's next turn as a zombie under the DM's control.

Legendary Actions

The eyepad can take 1 legendary action, using the void ray option below. It can take only one legendary action at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The beholder regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Petrifying Gaze. If a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the invincilisk and the two of them can see each other, the invincilisk can force the creature to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw if the invincilisk isn't incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature magically begins to turn to stone and is petrified until freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.

A creature that isn't surprised can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can't see the invincilisk or its rider until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again.

If it looks at the invincilisk in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.

Creature Sense. The sentient defense is aware of the presence of creatures within 5 miles of it that have an Intelligence score of 6 or higher. It knows the distance and direction to each creature, as well as each one’s Intelligence score, but can’t sense anything else about it. A creature protected by divination magic can't be perceived in this way.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the sentient defense fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. The sentient defense has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Overcharged. When the sentient defense is dealt lightning damage for the first time on a turn, it becomes overcharged. While overcharged, melee attacks within 5 feet that hit the sentient defense deal 1d6 lightning damage to the attacker. Additionally, the totalr lightning damage dealt to the sentient defense is accumulated. The first time the sentient defense hits with a creature with a tentacle attack, or uses its short circuit ability, the target or targets takes extra lightning damage equal to half the lightning damage accumulated. These effects last until the end of the sentient defense's next turn, or until it hit's a creature with a tentacle attack, releasing the lightning energy.

Telepathic Hub. The sentient defense can use its telepathy to initiate and maintain telepathic conversations with up to ten creatures at a time. The sentient defense can let those creatures telepathically hear each other while connected in this way.

Actions

Tentacle Wire. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (4d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Huge or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 15) and takes 9 (1d8 + 5) lightning damage at the start of each of its turns until the grapple ends. The sentient defense can have up to four targets grappled at a time.

Short Circuit. (Recharge 5–6). The sentient defense discharges electrical energy. Creatures of the sentient defense’s choice within 60 feet of it must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 32 (5d10 + 5) lightning damage and be stunned for 1 minute. A target can make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Telepathic Link. The sentient defense targets one incapacitated creature it can perceive with its Creature Sense trait and establishes a telepathic link with that creature. Until the telepathic link ends, the sentient defense can perceive everything the target senses. The target becomes aware that something is linked to its mind once it is no longer incapacitated, and the sentient defense can terminate the link at any time (no action required). The target can use an action on its turn to attempt to break the telepathic link, doing so with a successful DC 18 Charisma saving throw. On a successful save, the target takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage. The telepathic link also ends if the target and the sentient defense are more than 5 miles apart, with no consequences to the target. The sentient defense can form telepathic links with up to ten creatures at a time.

Sense Thoughts. The sentient defense targets a creature with which it has a psychic link. The sentient defense gains insight into the target’s reasoning, its emotional state, and thoughts that loom large in its mind (including things the target worries about, loves, or hates). The sentient defense can also make a Charisma (Deception) check with advantage to deceive the target’s mind into thinking it believes one idea or feels a particular emotion. The target contests this attempt with a Wisdom (Insight) check. If the sentient defense succeeds, the mind believes the deception for 1 hour or until evidence of the lie is presented to the target.

Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). The sentient defense’s innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 18). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components:

At will: detect thoughts, hold person

1/day each: dominate monster, time stop

Bonus Actions

---

---

Sentient Defense (Con't)

Huge Construct, Lawful Evil

Bonus Actions

Weave Virus. As a bonus action, the sentient defense can secretly target all creatures that it can see within 120 feet that has spell slots, or pact magic slots. The creature must make a DC 18 Intelligence saving throw or become infected with the Weave Virus. The effects of the virus are not felt until the end of the creature's next long rest. At the end of the creature's long rest, one of their highest available spell slots is consumed by the virus. This continues until 119 levels of spell slots has been consumed by the virus collectively through all of its current hosts. Once this occurs the virus becomes inert until at least one host comes within 120 feet of the keep's incapacitated creator. At this point, the cumulated spell slots will leap to the body of it's incapacitated creator, forming an archmage with an additional 119 hit points to its hit point maximum and an additional 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th spell slot.

The virus is undetectable by magic, but can be discovered by a DC 25 Intelligence (Arcana) or Wisdom (Medicine) check. Once discovered, the virus can only be removed via a 9th-level dispel magic spell or the wish spell.

Legendary Actions

The sentient defense can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. It can take only one legendary action at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The sentient defense regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Tentacle Wire. The sentient defense makes a tentacle wire attack.

Break Concentration. The sentient defense targets a creature within 120 feet of it with which it has a psychic link. The sentient defense breaks the creature’s concentration on a spell it has cast. The creature also takes 1d4 psychic damage per level of the spell.

Psychic Pulse. The sentient defense targets a creature within 120 feet of it with which it has a psychic link. Enemies of the sentient defense within 10 feet of that creature take 10 (3d6) psychic damage.

Sever Psychic Link. The sentient defense targets a creature within 120 feet of it with which it has a psychic link. The sentient defense ends the link, causing the creature to have disadvantage on all ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws until the end of the creature’s next turn.

Lair and Lair Actions

The lair of a sentient defense always lies deep in the heart of an arcanist or artificer's keep or stronghold. A sentient defense is often constructed to handle the security of specific building. The Sentient Defense is held up with a series of metal wires and is capable of moving in three dimensions in the room it is being stored in. These rooms are often massive with electrical wires running throughout it. The amount of wires needed to maintain the sentient defense is often far more than could be simply cut during a fight.

Lair Actions

When fighting inside its lair, a sentient defense can use lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), an sentient defense can take one lair action to cause one of the following effects; the sentient defense can’t use the same lair action two rounds in a row:

• The sentient defense casts wall of force.
• The sentient defense targets two friendly constructs it can sense within 120 feet of it. The construct has a flash of inspiration and gains advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw it makes before the end of its next turn. If the target doesn’t or can’t use this benefit in that time, the inspiration is lost.
• The sentient defense targets one creature it can sense within 120 feet of it and causes electrical disturbances within it's mind. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Intelligence or Wisdom saving throw (its choice) or begin to seize. On a failure, the creature falls prone and becomes incapacitated until the next lair action.

Regional Effects

The territory within 5 miles of an sentient defense is altered by the construct's psionic presence, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• Creatures within 5 miles of a sentient defense feel as if they are being followed, even when they are not.
• The sentient defense can overhear any telepathic conversation happening within 5 miles of it, and any conversation being held within the building it is housed. The creature that initiated the telepathic conversation makes a DC 18 Wisdom (Insight) check when telepathic contact is first established. If the check succeeds, the creature is aware that something is eavesdropping on the conversation. The nature of the eavesdropper isn’t revealed, and the sentient defense can’t participate in the telepathic conversation unless it has formed a psychic link with the creature that initiated it.
• Any creature with which the sentient defense has formed a psychic link begins to see minor hallucinations, different to each creature with a psychic link. A creature under the effect of the Sentient Defense's Telepathic Link can not perceive any other creature's hallucinations. This hallucinations reflect a great shame, doubt, or fear of the creature.

If the sentient defense dies, these effects immediately end.

• Insanity Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or become mad. While mad, the creature must use its action to make one melee weapon attack against a creature of the eyepad's choice within range before using it's movement. A creature can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.
• Stun Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is stunned until the end of the eyepad's next turn. While stunned, the creature is invisible.
• Force Ray. The targeted creature must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The eyepad can then push the creature up to 20 feet in a direction away from itself.
• Stasis Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or fall asleep and remain unconscious for 1 minute. The target also gains 10 temporary hit points. The target awakens if it takes a reduction to it's current or maximum hit point total.
• Weakening Ray. The targeted creature must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature's ability scores are reduced by 2 until it completes a short or long rest. A greater restoration spell or receiving magical healing of 40 hit points or more also removes this effect.
• Undeath Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 55 (10d10) necrotic damage. The target dies if the ray reduces it to 0 hit points and then rises on the start of it's next turn as a zombie under the DM's control.

Legendary Actions

The eyepad can take 1 legendary action, using the void ray option below. It can take only one legendary action at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The beholder regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Void Ray. The eyepad uses one random void ray.

Void Beholders

After the incursion of Ormut, Dragon of the Void into the Material Plane, many voidling creatures have creeped from the Void, into the Underdark, and from there tot he surface of all worlds.

Void beholders are beholders that have become suffused with energy from the void plane to create something more horrific than ever seen before. While similar to other beholders in their use of many eye rays, a void beholder lacks an antimagic properties. Instead, it emits a hazy black aura that blinds non-aberrations in the area.

Lair and Lair Actions

A void beholder’s central lair is typically a large, spacious cavern deep within the earth or inside of mountains. Places that are dark and dank where it can lurk, waiting for unsuspecting miners or explorers.

A void beholder encountered in its lair has a challenge rating of 17 (18,000 XP).

Lair Actions

When fighting inside its lair, a void beholder can invoke the energy of the void to take lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the void beholder can take one lair action to cause one of the following effects:

• A 25-foot radius area of ground within 120 feet of the void beholder becomes closer to the plane of void; that area is difficult terrain, and creatures that move on the ground take 1d4 cold damage per 5 feet moved until initiative count 20 on the next round.
• Portals to the void plane appear on the walls within 120 feet of the void beholder, sprouting grasping starry appendages until initiative count 20 on the round after next. Each creature of the void beholder’s choice that starts its turn within 10 feet of such a wall must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be grappled and take 22 (4d10) cold damage. Escaping requires a successful DC 15 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. Creatures that end their turn in the tentacle's grasp take an additional 11 (2d10) cold damage.
• An eye opens on a solid surface within 60 feet of the void beholder. One random eye ray of the void beholder shoots from that eye at a target of the void beholder’s choice that it can see. The eye then closes and disappears.

The void beholder can’t repeat an effect until they have all been used, and it can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row.

Regional Effects

A region containing a void beholder’s lair is warped by the plane of void's destructive planar energy, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• Creatures within 1 mile of the void beholder’s lair sometimes feel as if they’re being followed when they aren’t.
• When the void beholder sleeps, minor warps in reality occur within 5 mile of its lair and then vanish 48 hours later. Eyes will seem to appear in the darkness watching those who traverse the caverns. In addition, creatures travelling underground may begin to see creatures rounding corners only for no one to be there upon further inspection.

If the void beholder dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.

The Human Armory

These weapons are not available in magic shops on Titan, and human technology is banned for sale on Ganya. Many modern firearms can be found for sale at a gun shop owned by a human in the Human Colonies on Titan, but most futuristic weapons are held on The Flotilla, a collection of space faring vessels from Earth controlled by the United League of Nations military forces. These are more difficult to purchase to the ordinary citizen but if a character has a connection with the military, or perhaps a shady dealer, they can get their hands on them.

Weapons in the armory do not overcome magical resistances when dealing bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage unless the ammunition being used is Armor Piercing, the ammunition has been enchanted magically, or the weapon itself becomes magically enchanted.

Modern Firearms can be heard from up to 1 mile away in clear conditions. Your Game Master may increase or decrease this distance depending on the conditions and terrain around you. Futuristic Firearms do not make as much noise as Modern Firearms. Consult your Game Master to determine how loud Futuristic Firearms are in your setting.

Advanced Weapons and Explosives should be treated with the same rarity and value as uncommon or rarer magic items. A recommendation for each weapon’s magic item rarity equivalent is listed in the table.

Advanced Weapons with the Reload property require Fuel Cells to reload. These weigh less than bullets but are much harder to find and much more expensive. All Advanced Weapons come with one Energy Cell in them, or maximum charges.

Firearms & Properties

Weapons in the Human Armory follow the rules and properties found in the Modern and Futuristic Firearms and Explosives section on pg. 267 in the Dungeon Master's Guide with the following new properties.

• Attachment. This weapon is capable of receiving attachments from the “Attachments” section. There are three types of attachments; Choke, Magazine, and Optic. A list of available attachments, what weapons they can be equipped to, and their effects can be found at the end of the Modern Firearms section.

A weapon can have one attachment of the appropriate type per available attachment slot. The type of attachment slots available are listed in the weapon’s stat block.

• Choke. Chokes are exclusive to shotguns and can either increase or alter the spray property of shotguns.
• Magazine. Magazines typically increase the number of shots a firearm can shoot before needing to reload, but can also be used to give unique properties to firearm ammunition.
• Optic. Optics can help increase the range or accuracy of a firearm.
• Barrel. Barrels can be used to either reduce the noise a weapon makes, or aid in reducing the weapon's recoil, potentially helping in its range.

• Arc. When this weapon hits its target, it arcs to another random creature within 5ft dealing damage listed in the weapon’s stat block.

• Automatic. Once per turn, when you make a ranged weapon attack with this firearm, you may instead make two weapon attacks at disadvantage. This disadvantage cannot be negated by any means.

• Charge. This weapon does not use ammunition, but instead has a set number of charges that it regains during or a short or long rest.

• Sharpshooter Immune. Weapons with the Sharpshooter Immune weapon property cannot benefit from the Sharpshooter feature on its attack and damage rolls.

• Spray. A weapon that has the spray property can either make a normal single-target attack or, as an action, it can spray its ammunition in a 15-foot cone from the wielder. Each creature in the area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take the weapon’s normal damage.

Firearms

Special Modern Firearms

Bullets, Armor Piercing

These bullets ignore resistance and immunity to nonmagical piercing damage, but are not magical themselves. In addition, if this bullet is used to attack a vehicle, it ignores the vehicle's damage threshold.

Rifle, Sniper

The wielder does not gain disadvantage on ranged attack rolls with this weapon while prone, and must be prone to attack with this weapon without disadvantage. Additionally, if this rifle is used to make an attack against a creature within 60 feet, the attack is made at disadvantage.

Pistol, Silenced

This pistol can only be heard up to 200 feet away instead of the normal distance a firearm can be heard.

Turret, Automatic

As an action, a creature can place the turret on the ground, where it remains in a fixed position until an action is used to deactivate and stow it again. Once placed, the turret shares the initiative count as the creature who placed it, and acts immediately after them. It then fires a bullet at the closest hostile creature.

If multiple creatures are closest, the turret will fire at the target it most recently fired at. If it has not fired at any of the targets, it is determined randomly. This shot automatically hits the target, dealing 1d6 piercing damage and using 1 bullet.

The Automatic turret can store 30 bullets at a time. The turret has an AC of 16, 50 hit points, is immune to poison and psychic damage as well as all conditions. The turret automatically fails any saving throw it is forced to make.

Special Futuristic Firearms

Blitzgewehr (Legendary)

When this weapon hits its target, it randomly arcs to 3 creatures within 10 feet, rather than to 1 creature within 5 feet.

Thunderboom (Rare)

This weapon can not make a single target attack, only spray. Creatures within the spray radius who fail their Dexterity saving throw are also pushed 15 feet away from the wielder.

Levistus’ Tears (Rare)

The first time on a turn when a creature is hit with an attack from this weapon, their movement speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn. On a critical hit, the target's movement speed is reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn.

KCG (Kronation Gravity Cannon) (Very Rare)

The KGC starts with 7 charges and regains 1d6+1 charges at the end of a long rest. When this attack hits its target, creatures within 10 feet of the target must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pulled 5ft closer to the target of the attack.

When you use an Action, Bonus Action, or Reaction to attack with the Kronation Gravity Cannon, you can make only one Attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.

Explosives

Dynamite

As an action, a creature can light a stick of dynamite and throw it at a point up to 60 feet away. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

A character can bind sticks of dynamite together so they explode at the same time. Each additional stick increases the damage by 1d6 (to a maximum of 10d6) and the burst radius by 5 feet (to a maximum of 20 feet).

Dynamite can be rigged with a longer fuse to explode after a set amount of time, usually 1 to 6 rounds. Roll initiative for the dynamite. After the set number of rounds goes by, the dynamite explodes on that initiative.

Special Explosives

C4 (Uncommon)

This explosive material can be formed into almost any shape and stuck onto any surface. It also comes with a Detonator, which is needed to ignite the explosive.

As an action, a creature can prepare the C4 to be detonated, and place it on a solid surface, or toss it 60 feet to a point. Once it is prepared, a creature with the Detonator can then use an action to detonate the C4 provided they are within 300 feet of it.

Each creature within 10 feet of exploding C4 must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d6 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Objects and structures not being worn or carried are dealt double this amount.

Distraction Bomb (Rare)

This strange device appears like a stuffed monkey with a wind-up crank on its back and brass symbols in its hands, along with tightly compacted explosives attached to its back. The bomb can be thrown to a point you choose within 60 feet of yourself.

All Undead CR 1/2 or lower become distracted by the sounds of the bomb and must use their reaction to move up to their movement speed to safely move within 5 feet of the bomb. These creatures are incapacitated with a movement speed of 0 until the start of your next turn. Undead higher than CR 1/2 must succeed a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or suffer the same effects.

At the start of your next turn, all creatures within 15 feet of the bomb must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw at disadvantage, taking 6d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Grenades

As an action, a character can throw a grenade at a point up to 60 feet away. With a grenade launcher, the character can propel the grenade up to 120 feet away.

Fragmentation Grenade

Each creature within 20 feet of an exploding fragmentation grenade must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Smoke Grenade

One round after a smoke grenade lands, it emits a cloud of smoke that creates a heavily obscured area in a 20-foot radius for 1 minute. A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the smoke in 4 rounds; a strong wind (20 or more miles per hour) disperses it in 1 round.

Flash Grenade (Common)

Each creature within 10 feet of an exploding flash grenade must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded and deafened until the end of their next turn.

Caustic Grenade (Uncommon)

One round after a caustic grenade lands, it emits a cloud of caustic gas that creates a heavily obscured area in a 10-foot radius for 1 minute. A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the smoke in 4 rounds; a strong wind (20 or more miles per hour) disperses it in 1 round.

Creatures that start their turn in the area or enter it for the first time on a turn, must succeed a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 2d6 acid damage and 2d6 poison damage or half as much on a successful save.

Modern Equipment and Weapons

While the fledgling Earthlings lack magical capabilities, they have learned to overcome some of these challenges with their creativity and perseverance in the face of adversity. This has led humans to create marvels of nonmagical engineering to create similar effects to magical items, without being magical themselves.

Equipment found in this section is considered nonmagical and cannot be dispelled or suppressed by the effects of an antimagic field. These items can be purchased like any other mundane equipment at any shop on Ganya or Titan that carries them. These pieces of equipment are not limited in trade.

Armor within the Human Armory uses an equivalent armor found in the 5th Edition basic rules. Their description provides further details about the armor and its capabilities.

New Properties

In addition to the new properties previously listed for firearms, some human-made melee weapons have additional properties that can be found below.

• Hidden. This weapon can be wielded while not in view, or without suspicion of other creatures. A creature must succeed a DC 15 Perception check or have a passive perception of 15 or higher to notice your weapon.

Special Melee Weapons

• Brass Knuckles. This weapon can be placed over the wearer’s knuckles, allowing their hand to remain free. While wielding this weapon, you can still wield a shield or another weapon in your hand. You can wear no more than one set of brass knuckles at a time.
