did, was because one of the Sorcerer Kings, Aromazz, known by
many other names, was held in a prison of ice since 985, cast
upon him after he nearly brought forth the end of all life. Now in
the space era, he is once again free, and ready to wreak havoc on
all that is good. His mightiest warriors, the Mad Wizards,
assaulted the moon of Bindes, where he was held, and defeated
the Galaxy Knights within an hour of entering their fortress.
After he was freed, the moon was bombarded to ashes, killing all
remaining Galaxy Knights, and all of the civilian population.
So, now the universe will burn, and the rage of the Sorcerer
Kings blazes in the dark space between worlds. Planets will
crumble, and great war shall be waged once more! Join the fray,
and ight for the glory of the Space Empires!

constant defense against the Warbringers, as they had named
themselves, they couldn't ind the time in the world to study the
magics of the world, and tend to their people. Then, one day, the
Sorcerer Kings held a meeting, trying to ind a way to stop the
Warbringers' attacks. Amongst the Kings, one stood, a goblin
who had shown great magical potential in the past. He stood on
the podium, and said, as quoted: "They live to ight wars. Give
them something to ight then. Give them a worthy foe."

The Kings thought about his words, taking their time, and
agreed that this was the best course of action. And so, the irst
Eldritch Knight orders were founded. After rigorous training,
and arming of the warriors, they were ready to face off against
the Warbringers. The knightly orders assembled in the ields of
Thralkeldlin, preparing for an epic battle against the horde. The
battle was long, and hard fought, with hundreds of knights and
Warbringers falling on both sides, until both armies were forced
to retreat. This stalemate continued until the year 12 BCE, when
the tide would inally turn.

Some of the people who lacked the magical potential the rest of
the world possessed were welcomed to the land of Rhill, where
the ancient Wizard King Pitterweem allowed them to live, and
train, in case they would end up in a battle against one of the
hostile factions of the world. They learned how to tame griffons,
and mastered both melee and ranged combat. They lived mostly
in seclusion and harmony, occasionally getting attacked by
powerful foes. They were soon pulverized, however.

warrior. They reached the ields of Thralkeldlin, where they
were greeted by an army of orcs, goblins, undead and trolls.
Ollad and the barbarian snuck past the armies of evil, while the
forces of justice clashed with the army of darkness.

Once inside the keep, they encountered a mysterious igure who

showed them a secret teleportation circle, which sent them to
the trone room of the castle. There, in single combat, Ollad
defeated Aromazz and cast him into a prison of ice. The forces of
evil were vanquished, and the Goblin King went back to his
kingdom debating that he never took part in the atrocities of
Aromazz. After several trials, and debates, he was forgiven,
much to everyone's displeasure.

The Solar System, Cultures, And Such
The solar system, and its capital planet Avivion are busy places,
especially now that the Sorcerer King of Calamity has returned
to threaten the forces of good. The main system consists of 8
planets, and 21 moons, which the DM can generate with tables
that will be featured later. In this section of the setting we'll
cover the information on different cultures, species, beliefs, and
the economy. Without further stalling, let's begin.
The Species and Cultures
Humans
They're as basic as they come. Humans are some of the most
widespread races in the galaxy, due to their great fertility, and
strange survival instinct to have offspring, so that they won't die
out. It seems weird to other species, but overtime they've gotten
used to it.
Humans are often associated with chaotic, or even downright
evil deeds, as the Calamity King is a human, and the irst of the
Warbringers were also humans. Despite all of this, they're still
respected, and often hold some kind of importance to their
community.
Most notable good humans have been the now passed king
Ollad, the Barbarian of the North, who helped the forces of
justice defeat the evil Sorcerer King in the battle for Tiil, and
who now leads mighty warriors in space battle against the many
enemies of light. Other notable igures are the Galaxy Knights,
and a mysterious space captain only known as Cruiser Lord,
who holds some of the greatest magical potential to this day,
second only to the Goblin King, and Pitterweem. Whoever he is,
he's here to aid the light.
Dwarves
Also known as astral dwarves, these stumpy but tough warriors
spend most of their time in mines deep underground, rising only
to ight the threats to the common folk. They've never forgotten
their origins of founding the mighty city state of Aberdeen, and
being among the irst to make irearms, and mighty energy
weapons.
Dwarves are associated with raw strength, law, and honor.
They drink, and brawl, yes, but they never cause riots, nor do
they deceive others or ight dirty. Dwarves believe that the true
value of a living being is their honesty, honor, and courage.
Dwarves don't have many notable people amongst them, save
for their Sorcerer King, the Crystal Emperor, who's
transmutation skills are unmatched to this day.
Elves
Elves were born in the woods, under the light of the stars. They
soon declared those lands as theirs, and when the other races
started appearing, became extremely protective of the woods.
Battles were fought between the races, and the elven mages
more often than not triumphed in combat, earning the elves
great respect. The few magicless elves heard the call of the irst
king of the Warbringers, and joined him out of sheerly wanting
to show their magic using kin their true strength.
When the space age began, the elves were reluctant to leave
Avivion, and only the bravest dared. They found some fertile
planets, and settled them, becoming the irst druids in space.
They also helped improve many of the new inventions this space
fairing age had brought with it, making them more natural, just
for the elves.
Then there's the drow. They've mostly disappeared. Some say
they gathered a leet, and decided to ind a new solar system to
conquer. Others believe the elves eradicated them because to a
con lict that raged on between the elves long ago. Only four
drow are known to exist in the world now, and even most of
them are outlaws, save for one by the name "Jarl".
There are no truly notable elves, save for the Sorcerer Kings
and the mighty scholars of the Eye, a mighty fortress on the
moon known as Solos.
Hal lings
Some of the most peaceful and insigni icant creatures to walk
the land, hal lings are peace loving folk, who often just wander
the land, meeting new people, seeing new places, and cooking
some of the best foods in all the land. Space travel really isn't for
them, and when they do travel, they usually make the most of it,
not switching planets before at least most of the things possible
have been seen.
Hal lings don't have a Sorcerer King leading them, and instead
just mind their own business. This doesn't mean they don't
magic, however, and they are some of the most potent little spell
casters out there.
The Goblin King's journals have stated that he enjoys hal lings
for their cooking skills, their humor and their laid back attitude.
He also states that sometimes they make for good spell sparring
buddies.
Gnomes
These people are disliked by some for their hyperactive nature,
unpredictability, and general happiness, even in the most dire
situations. Not much is known about gnomes, save for their
closeness to nature, inventiveness, and magical knowledge.
They're fast learners too. Whereas a wizard spends weeks
studying a book on magic, a gnome will lip through it in a day
or two, and already know the general idea of what it says.
The most powerful gnome is the immortal Sorcerer King
Pitterweem of Rhill, the founder of the Galaxy Knights, and the
guardian of a powerful astral key with the power to unleash
Eldritch horrors to this world.
7
Dragonborn
The dragonborn are a noble race of warriors and mages born
from the eggs of dragons as a last ditch effort to keep the
draconic blood from dying out. Indeed, the Warbringers took up
dragon killing, slaying them in glorious combat. The dragons
created the Dragonborn, and either led off world, or were killed
by the Warbringers. The dragonborn rose to avenge their fallen
ancestors, and when the inal battle in the long war was fought,
the dragonborn almost single handedly annihilated the enemy's
left lank, causing them to lee just to not be killed by the
draconic warriors.
When technology started advancing, dragonborn mystics
started building steel dragons in the image of their ancestors,
using their magic to create sentient metal dragons. Sadly, not all
of them were so good natured as the ones behind the
dragonborn, and soon started causing havoc, and making
secluded lairs around the galaxy.
Notable dragonborn are very few, and the most notable ones
are, as mentioned before, the Mystics. They're led by the Arch-
Mystic, who can bend the fabric of reality as he pleases, making
him the fourth strongest caster in all of Avivion, or any other
planet at that.
Goblins
Many call them nasty bastards, thieving little freaks, and evil
monsters. They're all right, but they shouldn't say it out loud.
These creatures, who all hail the mighty Goblin King, are more
than just evil raiders, and pirates, and thieves, and terrorists.
They're survivors, and smart little inventors, who build some of
the best weapons, and weaponized mechs. They also know their
way around explosives, and irearms, which can make them very
dangerous in battle.
During the start of the space era, goblins snuck on board the
ships, and upon landing set out in these worlds, trying to
establish civilization. This was all of course ordered by the one
and only Goblin King, who later built his space fortress, along
with multiple space stations where his goblins could live.
And at this point you already know who the notable goblin is,
so I won't even say it. He is known for spell fusing, and the most
powerful of his time, Unholy Fire. He has also made many
powerful artifacts, which he gives to whoever he feels like at
that moment, be it a goblin or a brave adventurer who has
stumbled in his lair. He truly doesn't care who he ights with, as
long as he gets his doze of fun.

Tabaxi
Sneaky, cunning, brave, and highly kleptomaniac. Tabaxi are
usually bounty hunters, thugs for hire, wandering merchants,
and assassins. If you have what to pay with, they provide. Many
tabaxi have become adventurers, never to return, and those that
do, usually have interesting stories to share, about steel dragons,
goblin armies, mighty warriors slaying demons, and so forth.
Tabaxi have always been a mystery, and the fact that they built
their own space leet is probably the most baf ling thing of all.
They do seem to get along with others, so their intentions can't
be bad. That's the reasoning of most who run into tabaxi.
They're curious by nature, and like shiny things. If you had a
tabaxi visiting your home, and your coin purse went missing,
well, now you know why.
Tabaxi don't care about glory, titles or anything of the like.
They want to live simple lives, and offer whatever services they
can for others. They really are the galaxy's pets.
Orcs
Much like goblins, orcs are some ighty people. Their culture
revolves around war, and they ally themselves with
Warbringers, who share incapability to cast magic of any kind.
That, or they ight them to see who's better.
Survival of the ittest really does sit well with the orcs, and if
you can't show strength, you lose the game of life. It's as simple
as that. Orcs are rare on other planets, but were there's orcs,
there's probably a lot of wars.
Orcs loathe the idea of recorded history, and thus, no notable
orcs are known of. If you tried to ind something about a
powerful orc, you'd probably ind one of the Lord Commanders
of Warbringers, by the name of Grumsh, who led the Kill Squad
during the long war.
Hal breed races
Both orcs and elves have hal breed children, and they're seen as
equals among humanoids.
Half elves are the product of passion between humans and
elves, which shares the best parts of both sides. They often end
up with their human parent, and learn many things from them.
Their long life span grants them all the time they need to learn
everything they're interested by. Half elves might become
powerful mages, or guildmasters on their home planet,
depending on their interests. Many half elves also leave their
home to see the galaxy, and what it has to offer.
Half orcs are a little less loved hal breed, considering they're
born from an orc... de iling, a human woman. They're seen as
barbarous beasts, and they often don't know any magic to speak
of. However, one man seems to feel sympathy for them, and that
man is the Barbarian of the North. He trains half orcs in the
ways of Techno Barbarians, and even treats them like they're his
children.
The least common hal breed is the tie ling. They're born from
dark rituals, curses and of course from a tie ling parent, if they
get that lucky in life. Tie lings are loaded with magic potential,
but unfortunately, many of the don't use it for good. Tie lings
like a nomadic lifestyle, and only settle down if they feel
comfortable doing so. Aromazz sees them as good cannon
fodder in the upcoming war in the stars.

Zuhneri
Zuhneri are the irst discovered alien species, that quickly
signed a peace treaty with the colonists, in fear of their magic
and weapons. They are four armed, sharp fanged and their
northern kin is covered in white fur. Their planet's north is a
frigid hellscape, but it's also the only place with precious
minerals that they use for trade and for their constructions.
During the irst contact with the colonists, the Zuhneri sensed
their magic, equal in strength to theirs. They knew that they had
little chance against these new people if they were to go to war,
given that they weren't as powerful weaponry wise. After the
initial shock of the irst encounter, they quickly took liking to the
ire arms of these new people, and bought as much of them as
possible.
After some years, they ran into the Warbringers, who started
a war on them, and after the colonists reminded Hannyabal the
Cunning that his ancestors signed a treaty, they stopped, but did
assimilate many of their captives to their ranks, after making
sure they didn't have magical capabilities. Those that did... went

Scutan
The Scutan are a race of biomechanical humanoids, who used to
be slaves to another alien race known as Khuxa, but they
revolted, and eradicated their oppressors in 892. For the next
100 years they rebuilt the planet in their own image, and started
space exploration, doing trade with the occasional Zuhneri and
Draal they met.
Over the years, they began indulging themselves in modern
pleasures, and the private sector started to establish a foothold
in the cities of the Scutan. Whereas public services were cheap
to acquire, the corporate sector started founding establishments
and shops for pretty much anything you could want. Guns,
swords, booze, drugs, women, men, and the like.
When the human colonists irst came to contact with the
Scutan, they were surprised to see such an advanced world.
After some exploration, and discussion with the local leaders,
the colonists decided to inhabit one of the surrounding moons,
rather than the main world, as it was already quite crowded.
Over the decades the Scutan home planet became what is
known today as a "Bliss World", a place where people can relax,
and indulge themselves in material pleasures.
Unlike all other races in the galaxy, the Scutan don't have, nor
will they ever have, the great magical potential others do. Scutan
are a race all about material things, and arts and over the top
sword duels. Some of the greatest bards of the galaxy are in fact
Scutan.
The only notable Scutan are the Council of Dust, who were the
original rebel generals, and the ones who founded the private
sector that now controls trade.

Religion
There's no religion in the galaxy, and that's because gods don't
exist. Instead, people place faith in concepts of existence. Clerics
of the forge believe in the lames of the furnace, and the steel of
the anvils, paladins of conquest believe that the strong rule, and
weak obey, and the common folk believe and place their faith in
what their culture has generally believed in for countless
centuries.
The extreme expressing of religion is outlawed in the galaxy,
as many things cults and churches preach about could be
banned elsewhere, and this could spark a war. As such, founding
religious centers around concepts of existence is outlawed and
punishable by death on many moons and planets.
Just because gods don't exist in the material plane, and there's
no connection to celestial or infernal planes of existence, that
doesn't mean that there are no gods in the outer planes of
existence. A plane of existence, a raging inferno often referred to
as the Cosmic Nexus, is a home to many horrifying and powerful
Elder Gods, that seek ways to consume material planes and
enslave the natives. The only way to access the Cosmic Nexus is
with a collection of crystal orbs, smoother than anything else in
the world, and placing them in a dark shrine of evil. These keys
remain undiscovered to this day, and it's said that the Goblin
King might possess one.
Of course, there have been wars over religion, which is why
the laws restricting religious freedom are there, to keep
something like that from ever happening again.

Bestiary & NPCs
Monsters in the Black Voids
You have seen the monsters in the Monster Manual. They're
all there. Dragons have the exception of being made of steel, and
lacking unique breath weapons, but they're all still there. This
chapter won't cover the core monsters, as you can just ind them
in the Monster Manual. The only inexistent monsters are
Hobgoblins, and the Gith. Any other humanoid monsters wander
the depths of space as pirates and nomads, or inhabit planets.
Keep in mind that you can lavor these monsters as you please,
and don't be under the impression you can't modify them to it

Aberra ons
They live in the churning and twisting nether of the Cosmic
Nexus, and the depths of the Underworld.
Mad Wizards
Led by Moch-Zul, the Wizard of Mass Murder, the Mad Wizards
enslave the solar system, obeying their master's will. No one has
been able to defeat Moch-Zul in battle, as he seems to have some
dark twisted blessing on him. Sam can NOT be said for his
brethren, who die quite often. Their greatest triumph came in
the battle of Bindes, where they slaughtered the brave Galaxy
Knights as they came, not suffering any losses whatsoever.
Mad Wizards use the Mage stat block from the Monster
Manual, with the exception of wearing Basilisk Bone Armor.
Moch-Zul has 10 levels of Barbarian and a +2 Laser Claymore.

Fortress of Dark, and holds some of the strongest artifacts in
existence, most of which are unknown of in this world.
The Goblin King uses the Assassin stat block found in the
Monster Manual, and has 15 levels of Warlock of the Fiend
and 20 levels of Evocation Wizard. You should also give him
some powerful magic items.

Robo Goblin
Goblin King's favorite servant. Not much is known about him,
save for his lashy clothing, and robotic body, save for his head,
for the most part. He uses the Goblin Boss stat block found in
the Monster Manual, and has 14 levels of Battlemaster Fighter.
