CHAPTER I: Orbis
Characteristics of Orbis
I) Cosmic Powers vie for Control
There are many forces at play in the cosmos that surrounds Orbis’s multiverse. The Heavenly Deities of Elysium
command their angels to push back the forces of evil in the world. Demon Princes of the Abyss spread chaos and
corruption through the realms. Devil Lords of the Hells plague beings with tyranny and despicable intrigue. The Zodiac
watches beyond our world into the realms of stars where others have no sway. The Four Avatars of the elements on the
brink of being released from their home planes to bring unbalance to another. And the Old Gods, watching from their
tombs in which they were sealed, seek to be born anew again.
All these extra-terrestrial and divine entities seek to tip the scales of the multiverse in their favour. Many influence
mortals to do their bidding and further their goals in exchange for power, riches or enlightenment after death. The world
is divided between all these “gods, pantheons and forces of evil” with entire nations and societies of people waring with
one another over their beliefs.
II) Ancient History

Ages come and go, with many things being lost to time. Orbis is an old and ancient world where civilizations have turned
to dust and events transpired long forgotten. Lost ancient cities, tomes of knowledge and artifacts of old powers remain
hidden and buried beneath the earth, waiting to be rediscovered by brave souls that dare to venture so deep and so far.
Many myths and legends could prove to be more so, what we once thought to be stories and tales is our true history.
What remains hidden from view may never be found, or be discovered by those that never live to tell of it.
III) Celestials, Fiends and the Ethereal

Celestials, demons and devils all wish to further the goals of the ones they serve. It is not uncommon to find a devil
scheming among mortals or a young angel hunting down a demon. However, to avoid meddling in the lives of lowly
mortals, many conflicts that happen between these entities happen in a plane where there is far less to be meddled with,
the Ethereal. A mirror of the material plane, but not quite. It is a realm of distortion and white shadow, with its own
denizens that call it their home plane.
Wayfinders are an intelligent race of birds that are blessed with the gift of being able to travel through the Ethereal with
ease. This makes them valuable companions and tools for those that often wish to travel between the material and
Ethereal, such as those that hunt demons and devils as a profession or out of righteousness, or slay angels for their
hellish lords or simply for coin.
IV) The Shadowlight Spire

In the centre of the world we call Orbis, lies the Shadowlight Spire, or Mouth of the Worlds. Its size is immense and
beyond any other achievements of the most accomplished mages and sorcerers. This phenomenon of pure magical energy
surges between all the realms that are known and far more. It has been a massive resource into the study of planer travel
and what lies in those planes, but also a great danger. Many tales tell of a researcher never returning from their trip
through the vortex, as its destination is never decided when one steps through. It has acted as a neutral space between
the world’s nations and races, acting as a place of knowledge and safety to those that seek it.
V) Dangers Stalk in the Darkness

When the sun is high in the sky, the realms of Orbis are blessed with relatively peaceful atmospheres and calm days. But
when darkness falls, monsters and other creatures go bump in the night. The sun scares off most creatures that would
harm and hunt the people of Orbis, but when night comes, windows in small towns are shut and doors barred. The real
dangers show themselves in the darkness of night and shadows of caverns deep beneath the earth.
VI) A World of Diverse People

Orbis houses an impressive host of cultures and nations across its lands. From hot sands of dessert, high snowy
mountain peaks and deep below the ocean’s waters, all manner of people can be found. From the rare celestial offspring
known as Aasimar to the common lowly born peasant, everyone has their place and role to play in the world. Many of its
nations differ from one another. Democracy, Oligarchy, Theocracy, Monarchy and many more are all presented in the vast
realms across Orbis. You’ll find highly aggressive cultures and immensely peaceful ones. There is something for
everybody.
VII) From Sticks to Airships

Nomadic desert tribes that struggle to survive on minimal water and the noble elite watch the world from their airships.
As much as its people are diverse, so are its levels of technology and ability to utilize magic. Weapons utilizing black
powder and minor magical enchantments are not an uncommon sight, but many still reach for the reliable spear or
sword. The ingenious Gnomish people continue to push further the ability of golems, using them like suits of armor that
act out their bidding, and the primitive Grogans still stick to their roots and traditions. Resourceful Halflings taking the
advantages of steam power engines to run the basic functions of their cities, and the savage Reptilian still practicing blood
sacrifices. Technology is strong in some places, and almost non-existent in others.
VIII)Blessings of the Zodiac

The Zodiac have scattered beacons and places of power all along the realm of Orbis and beyond. These beacons are able to
bless those with the ability to tempt their fate, or embrace it. However, it comes with a price that is different every time,
and can’t be blessed to every mortal of Orbis, only those strong enough of mind and body are able to poses it.
Some of these beacons are not too difficult to find, as some of the Zodiacs provide less power than others, but some lie
deep beneath the earth in the darkest corners, or others at the highest of peaks out of sight. Those that believe themselves
worthy of a Zodiac and its power seek out these stones, some never finding them concluding that they are not worthy as
they were never meant to find it. But few have sought out the blessings and found the beacon they seek.
Known History of Orbis

I) Creation Myth (????)
Existence and reality began as three layers of energy. The top layer, a realm of light and life. The middle layer, a mix mash
of elemental power. The bottom layer, a realm of darkness and death. Life began to be born on these three layers of
energy. Elysium the top layer gave birth to beings of goodness and nature, the Heavenly Deities of Elysium and the
Zodiac. The second layer split into four separate realms as its creations conflicted with one another, the Four Avatars and
their lesser spawns. The third layer gave rise to beings known then as the Dark Powers that enjoyed the comfort of the
dark.
Over millennium, these entities grew bored of the realms they inhabited. With a combined effort from all of them, they
created a forth layer in the centre of them all. The material plane, or rather, Orbis. Each contributed in their own way as
to how this new world should be constructed. The Four Avatars created the sky, sea, earth and fires of its core. The
Heavenly Deities made energies that flowed through the world. They made the Sun and Moon, while the Zodiac made its
stars and strings of fate. The Dark Powers and their contributions to the world were repeatedly rejected by the others. And
so began hate between the Dark Powers and the rest of creation.
Now that the world was set in place, beings were meant to live in it. Angels and animals were created by the Heavenly
Deities, while the Dark Powers plotted among each other as to how best foil the pleasures of the other Cosmic Powers. But
inner strife began to take hold of the Dark Powers. A third were set on the idea of ultimate chaos, another third on the
idea of ultimate subjugation and order and the last third set on the idea of corrupting what was already created. And so
they split and went their own paths and created their own realms to plot schemes and create in.
The Abyss, created by and now inhabited by Demons wanting nothing but chaos to run free among creation. The Hells,
created by and now inhabited by Devils wanting to subjugate all to their law and order. And the remaining entities now
known as the Old Gods each took their own path in the cosmos for their realms of influence, while some secretly hide in
the world of Orbis.
II) Age of Ancients (-50,000 D.E to -5,000 D.E)

When the world of Orbis continued to grow and prosper, the angels and animals that inhabited it began to grow lonely as
there was too much world for them to explore and not enough to interact with. So they held a forum among their creators
and the Heavenly Deities agreed to create more beings to inhabit their world. However, due to amounts of energy and
power it already took to create the world and the angels themselves, these beings would be lesser so.
And so over the course of time, mortal beings destined to one day die and give back to the earth began to be born. Many of
these mortal races have now died out for various reasons over the course time, but many survived till today such as Elves,
Dwarves and Lux. Very little is known about this time, as much of the knowledge and evidence of its existence has seen
the wear and tear of time, dust scattered in the wind.
III) Age of Dragons and Birth of Nephilim (-4,999 D.E to -3,900 D.E)
These creatures began pure and good, but the hiding Old Gods, Demons and Devils slowly sunk their claws into the souls
of these creatures. Seeding thoughts and emotions of anger, hate, greed, arrogance and many more. And then soon after
came the birth of chromatic dragons by the tyrannical and greedy dragon goddess, Tiamat. They subjugated these young
mortals to do their bidding and treat them as demi-god like beings. The angels were not yet wise enough to protect the
creatures they so desperately wanted to live alongside with in this world, the dragons outnumbered them and commanded
slave armies of the mortals.
Then Azazel, an angel, rose up to the responsibility to command his angelic brethren against the scaled tyrants. His
leadership, strategy and skill of the fields of battle proved to outmatch his enemies. Even though outnumbered, they
struck hard and true in the hearts of the winged beasts, minimizing mortal casualties. The Age of Dragons was coming to
its close end, until Tiamat herself emerged from her lair deep in the core of the world and torn the angels asunder.
One of the Zodiacs, Bahamut, saw the events of his dark double transpire and reacted in turn with his own creations.
Metallic dragons flew down from the stars to the aid of the angels against their chromatic counterparts. But still this was
not enough to finish off the threat as Tiamat herself still held presence in Orbis. Azazel was for the first time beginning to
feel hopeless. His brilliance on the battlefield and allies from the stars were not enough to drive back this godly enemy and
free the enslaved mortals.
In his moments of self-doubt, a mysterious entity approached him and said that if he wanted to achieve his goals that she
could provide him with a child that would poses unspeakable power and win the losing battle against the Age of Dragons.
He was seduced by this creature and conceived the child. This entity, now known as Lilith was the bastard daughter of
Graz’zt and Glasya, creating a hybrid of demon and devil, a fiend of desire. But Azazel did not know this and was too
blinded by his desperation to defeat his enemy, and he was also seduced by the succubus.
Azazel could feel the immense power and potential in the child and named him Absalom. Azazel allowed his host of
commanders to sire children with Lilith, came the first generation of Nephilim that grew up quickly. With the discovery of
what Lilith was and what Azazel had allowed to be born into the world, the Heavenly Deities demanded that he destroy all
of the Nephilim.
At the final battle, where Absalom lead his host of Nephilim against Tiamat alongside an army of angels, she was sealed
away and banished to the hells where she still remains. It was in the moment of victory and celebration that Azazel
attempted to turn on Absalom, but failed. Absalom defeated Azazel and the rest of the Nephilim routed the angel army for
its betrayal. For Azazel’s failure, he too was banished to the hells along with his consort Zariel. It was here that the
Heavenly Deities themselves descend from Mount Celestia in Elysium to destroy the Nephilim themselves. However, even
the gods themselves failed to destroy this unholy offspring, and they escaped instead, far beyond the gaze of Orbis.
IV) Crusades of the Nephilim (-3,899 D.E to -1 D.E)

Absalom was furious at this betrayal, that his own father would try and destroy him and his brothers and sister. So with
his rage and desire to find a world they could call their own, the Nephilim sired more children, creating a many more of
themselves. And they set out into the multitude of multiverses. Conquering and murdering worlds as they saw fit,
committing acts of genocide on a global scale and annihilating worlds in the hundreds. They left behind a legacy of true
destruction and rage. They built terrifying weapons, capable of destroying worlds in the blink of an eye, even Absalom
used these weapons sparingly and locked them away in a vault until they were needed. Only the first generation of
Nephilim knew where and how to open this vault, and they deemed it “The Apocalypse Vault”.
After a time, six of the Nephilim grew uneasy with what was transpiring, what their kin was committing. They understood
that a balanced needed to be maintained and at the rate they were going, soon there would be no more of creation, at all.
At was at this time that the Old Gods came to Absalom and offered to help the Nephilim overthrow the Heavenly Deities
and give them Orbis, their birth world. And when Absalom agreed to this and announced the crusade against Orbis, the
six knew now was the time to go against him.
The six approached the Heavenly Deities in secret and told them of the coming invasion, and pledged their arms to fight
against their brothers and sisters.
V) The Divinity (0 D.E)

The Heavenly Deities prepared by selecting mortals of Orbis as their vessels or champions to fight in this battle, Watchers
they called them. They crafted weapons and armor of divine wrath, worthy of the gods. With the stages set, divine angelic
beings, vessels and champions of the gods and six Nephilim stood side by side against the Old Gods, their servants of evil
and Absalom with his horde of Nephilim.
Much of the details of the battle have been lost to time, as most that witnessed it perished and many of the tomes
documenting the event lost or destroyed. Most of what is known is legends and visions presented by the later generations
of Watchers, reincarnated still long after the battle still to this day.
What is known is that many of the Old Gods were slain, their bodies scattered to the astral sea, burned, decimated and
petrified. The one’s that couldn’t be destroyed were imprisoned in divine chains and seals.
The battle also saw the slaughter of all the Nephilim by the hands of the six defectors. Absalom himself was slain by his
younger brother and only survivor of the first generation of Nephilim. It is said that these six were also instrumental in the
slaying of the Old Gods that weren’t sealed.
With the battle ended, the Heavenly Deities spent much of their powers to smite down some of the Old Gods and create
the weapons and armor used in the battle. They returned to their realm of Mount Celestia in Elysium, to regain their
strength. However, many of their worshipers and followers perished in the conflict, so it would tell time for them to regain
all the power they lost. Now, many of their followers today do their best to spread their influence, in the hope to gain more
believers, translating to more divine energy put into the realm of Elysium by their sheer force of belief.
The six Nephilim were now left alone to their own devices since the Old Gods were either slain or imprisoned and the
Heavenly Deities recuperating in their realm. These six were the last remaining of their race. They promised each other to
not let the balance of the multiverse tip to one side again, like they allowed to happen once. They each went their own way
afterwards, each finding a place in the multiverse to call their home. On occasion they will venture from their realms to
put down an overpowering force of the scales.
VI) The Black Frost (1 D.E to 546 D.E)

The Time of the Black Frost came after the Divinity. The magic of Orbis seemed to abandon her for a long time. The
survivors of mortal life had to endure more than 500 years of cold snowfall worldwide, with dark clouds and storms
blocking out the sun for most of the year. This gaze the time its name as it seemed the sun and snow itself was black.
Many forms of monsters accustomed to the darkness threatened the mortals struggling to survive the cold, making this
time in Orbis’s history one of the scariest and troubling. Many had to learn to fend for themselves and find hope in even
the smallest of victories.
VII) The Shadowlight Spire (547 D.E to 585 D.E)

Then one day it seemed that the prayers of the denizens of Orbis were finally answered. A titanic sized vortex of magical
energy surged into existence in the very centre of all the realms of Orbis. Over the next 38 years, the snow gradually
began to melt and cease to plague the lands. Magic slowly began to pour back into the world and the sun was released
from its binds of the dark black clouds that ruled the sky. Till today many are baffled by how and why this ‘Shadowlight
Spire’ came into existence, but there has been a few theories.
Many of the common folk believe it is indeed a gift from the gods, their saving grace to burn away the Black Frost and
allow their creations to thrive once more like they did before the Age of Dragons and the Divinity.
However, many learned scholars and practitioners of the arcane arts believe otherwise. It is true that there is divine
energy within the spire, but they contribute that to it perhaps leading to Elysium itself, which is unsurprising as it leads
to many other planes when stepped through. They believe that due to the sudden disappearance of magic during the
Black Frost, that an excess amount of magic poured into the other planes and they couldn’t handle it and one day,
essentially blew up and created a connecting passage through all other planes.
Those two are the most popular theories, but alas, no evidence, hint or clue has come up to reveal the true nature of the
spire’s creation. And perhaps it shall never be discovered.
VIII)Age of Renewal (586 D.E to 1,228 D.E)

And so with the end of the Black Frost and appearance of the Shadowlight Spire, Orbis began to rebuild itself and its
people. Cities and civilizations began to rise from the melted snows and the practicing of magic was basic, but present. A
time that could only be compared to spring, everything began to grow and colour and life came back into the world.
IX) The Lich King (1,229 D.E to 1,590 D.E)

However, nothing ever stays peaceful for very long. Since magic came back into the world, all forms of it came back,
including the dark arts that should have remained hidden and buried away. A mortal whose original name has been
wiped from the history books uncovered a form of magic since before the Age of Dragons. Ancient and dark magic is
dangerous to anyone and it corrupts all who try to bend it to their will.
This mortal during an expedition into ancient ruins uncovered the secrets to life and death, and how to cheat it. He began
experimenting with this new found knowledge and saw the potential and power it could provide him with. So after many
years of gathering ingredients and perfecting his skills in the arcane arts, he performed a ritual that would allow him to
never fear death again.
The now Lich, an undying being of dark magical arts sought to use his new found power for unspeakable gains. He raised
an army of undead that bent to his will without question. Vecna, the Lich King went on a campaign through Orbis
conquering whoever he wished. The people of Orbis stood little chance to push back the undead horde.
His most trusted lieutenant, Kas, which he had turned into a Vampire through the secrets he knew, one day betrayed
him. The two of them destroyed each other, with only the Sword of Kas and the Hand and Eye of Vecna remaining after
their duel.
Vecna was not a foolish individual however and was paranoid to the greatest of lengths. Kas may have destroyed Vecna’s
phylactery, but many believe that Vecna had a failsafe in place if his true demise was ever to come. And through the
centuries there have been some claiming to do the will of their master, Vecna, the Whispered Lich King.
The aftermath of the Lich King’s conquest still shows signs of its remains today and has permanently scarred parts of the
world. The now dubbed Morgoth, the Broken Land is the most notable of these areas. A large expanse of ashen lands
plagued by the wandering undead and bands of orcs and goblinoid creatures. The corruption of Vecna’s dark arts gave
rise to these creatures and now they have spread like rats to all corners of the world.
X) Age of Prospects (1,591 D.E to 2,440 D.E)

The Age of Prospects was a time where nations and races found their place and built civilization up to its heights. Magic
for this time took big steps into its progression such as teleporting and the discovery of the Ethereal Plane and its
wonders and dangers. Religion on a large scale was established across Orbis once again with the large population
believing in the Heavenly Deities and the Zodiac. This has also lead to the uprising of diabolical cults of the darker side of
the Cosmic Powers, with a few entire realms and nations siding with devils, demons and the like.
XI) Age of Strife (2,441 D.E to 3,085 D.E)

And with the first major war on the rise, began the Age of Strife. A series of wars and bloodshed over resources, land,
influence and differences in belief, now that these nations understood what they needed to survive and thrive. Many
grudges and forms of bad blood still bare today caused by this time. Many nations preferred to steer clear of the politics
and warfare, and so they built defences instead of armaments. Battles between good and evil were fought, blood was
spilled between devil and demon worshipers and kin killed kin in the night for political gain.
XII) Coming of the Gith (3,086 D.E to 3,120 D.E)

The Age of Strife began to die down as the world’s superpowers planted their flags and claimed what they needed. But
soon after, came the Githyanki. A fleet of their astral ships had flown through the Shadowlight Spire on accident. While on
the hunt for their life long enemy, the Ilithid, they had flown through the wrong portal and discovered Orbis and its
people. Moments after them came the Githzerai, in a few small scout ships, apparently tailing their chaotic twins. A small
skirmish was quickly put down by the Shadowlight Vanguard, a legion of griffon and roc riders that protect the
Shadowlight Spire, and a momentary truce was struck between the Gith.
Over the course of 34 years after that event, in exchange for information, equipment and other details of pacts and
pledges, the Gith shared their technology of their flying ships to an extent with Orbis. This knowledge has also lead to
many other technologies being developed such as Arcane and Steam railways for trains, stationary engines suspending
chunks of earth called Motes and communication technologies and many more.
XIII)Age of Innovation (3,121 D.E to 3,456 D.E)

This brings us to the current age of Orbis, the Age of Innovation. A time where basic technology is prominent in some
places, but many parts of the world falling behind or simply refusing to evolve. A time of relative peace, but conflicts still
show themselves.

Overview
Sanctus is the area of influence established by the conquests of the Dragonborn long ago, finding its solid roots and
purpose late in the Age of Prospects. It has earned the top spot as being the largest nation of Orbis, with the desert slave
nation of Nehekhara and chivalrous Bordeaux coming in second to it in terms of the people that call it home. Many races
here among each other, each having equal standing in its society. The capital city, Illustria stands as the self-proclaimed
holy city of the world to the Heavenly Deities. However, Sanctus is not completely the shining ray of light it paints itself to
be. The righteous arrogance of Sanctus has allowed not one, but two infernal incursions take place in its cities, causing
hundreds of thousands to be exploited and ruled by a tyrannical fist. The forming of the nation itself was also bloody, as it
was a conquest through warfare after all, and with the Age of Strife, bad relations were created with the dwarves to the
north of them over resources in the mountains but to the claims that those lands were sacred and godly. Sanctus has
since grown up after its mistakes, but still has a long way to go.

Overview
“I am where I am today because I learned to make money while I sleep.” –David Bailey, Master Foreman of B-Series
Industries
The columns of smoke and gas light streets of Northwick are the heart of the industrialized Birmingham. Northwick and
her surrounding settlements are a clear representation of halfling culture, efficiency and maximum profit. Workers are
exploited for minimal wage for maximum work to hit product deadlines and keep every factory and enterprise running
smoothly. The rich elite who have made their fortunes from this age of industry visit the theatre and have dinner parties
aboard the high and above air ships. Most cities have curfew for certain areas of the city, and if spotted wondering in
those areas are first given a warning, if they don’t leave, then the Brute Boys apprehend them.
Economy and Industry

Birmingham is one of the world’s leading economies due to its low wages of workers who work long hours. Northwick in
particular is famous for its construction of mechanical airships as opposed to the magical ones. Many factories litter the
districts of Birmingham’s cities and towns, along with the Brute Boys who keep the peace among the labourers. The Brute
Boys are the nickname given to the security company that is employed by the MFCOA to keep the peace around
Birmingham. However, due to many workers angry with working conditions and wages, have formed gangs and organized
crime groups to make their living the non-agreeable way. And so the Brute Boys are often at odds or in scuffles with these
numerous gangs.
Culture and Climate

Birmingham is split into two groups, the rich and poor with the middle class being very far and few between. Hard work
and struggle comes to the poor while the rich enjoy the luxuries of life. This has caused a major divide with the poor
hating the rich, but the slogan is struck all across the nation, “Work up the ladder”. This has sort of created the idea that
the poor are not stuck being poor all their lives. But who is to say if that is true. It is compulsory for all members of
society to attend religious services on Sundays, to create an equal ground for everyone and keep the majority of the
populace somewhat happy, kind of.
Birmingham’s climate is rather dull and ‘misty’ for most of the year. The smoke from the factories does not help the
scenery either, but on a clear day the capital of Northwich is a true sight to see. Tall buildings with mechanical airships
hovering above. Northwick is separated into districts, with most of the factories on its eastern outskirts to keep its skies
clear and fresh looking.

The ruling body of Birmingham is not one person or group, but is made up of many companies and enterprises that
provide the good and services to Birmingham and beyond. Such as Accurate Accountancy, with it being the leading
company in which all accountants study and work within. Or Jasper and Sons, being the leading shipping and transport
company. Or perhaps the many Master Foremen of the factory chains. All the Master Foremen and Chief Officers and
owners of these leading companies, guilds and enterprises form the leading force that drives Birmingham. Known as the
Master Foremen and Chief Officers Association (MFCOA), they are the people seated by the big table making the decisions.
Influential Parties
Master Foremen and Chief Officers Association are the driving and governing force of Birmingham and her people.
Magnus Banking Clan is the largest bank in Birmingham and is also spread all over Magnus Terra. They control interest
rates and taxes paid to the MFCOA.
Jasper and Sons is the leading trade and transport megacorporation. Their ships dominate the harbours of Northwick,
travelling and trading all across the world. They have also recently released their first version of an automobile for the
streets of Birmingham.
Brute Force Security A.K.A The Brute Boys are the general guard or police of Birmingham. They patrol its streets in
automobiles and ‘Tall Boys’. They intimidate the general populace to keep in check and do their jobs.
B-Series Industries is the largest factory company in Northwick. Their factories and machinery are rented by almost
every other manufacturing company.
The Peaky Blinders is the leading gang in Northwick’s rougher areas. They are involved in illegal gambling on racing and
casinos as well as selling advanced weapons to the other gangs in Birmingham.

Ruled by the Grand Duchess Fiona Bianco chosen by the Lady of Virtue that appears in the Silver Lake when the
carination ceremony is nigh and in Bordeaux’s times of need. Not all is flowers and wine in Bordeaux however, Sanctus
has branded Bordeaux as heretics to the Elysium and Zodiac for the Bordelais believe that Centaurus is not a horse, but
a unicorn. And that Tymora is not the Lady of Luck, but the Lady of Virtue of the Silver Lake herself. It is for this that
border relations between the two powerhouses are rife with war and battle.

landscape, as the snow and cold in Nix Silvis is not regular cold. It’s the only known remnants of the Black Frost,
meaning magic is very limited in those burdened lands. However, beneath the snow and earth lies the world’s largest
deposit of Ether Weave Crystals, the magical source for Airships. And so Khazanov has built its society around obtaining
and utilizing these crystals. A socialist republic governed by the Tsar has built an airship empire, where the cities are kept
warm by the Ether Weave Crystals and travel is only done by airship. Beyond the settlements is a death wish. Few have
survived its tundra, and those that have are forever changed.

who have been trapped in the desert for a long time. Nehekhara is known across the world as a slave nation first and
foremost. Many people from all across Orbis are abducted and sold to the slave masters of Nehekhara for easy money. For
every free person in Nehekhara there are 3 slaves. The arenas are Nehekhara’s biggest attraction and ‘money maker’ for
the slave masters. The Pharaoh that rules all is said to be a descendent of infernal heritage and it would explain its
society. But these are but rumours and tales, but many believe them to be true.

Humans
Humans arrived later in the world of Orbis, as there is very little to no mention of them during the Age of Ancients. They
are among one of the shorter lived races in comparison to races like dwarves and elves. Perhaps it is because of their
shorter lifespans that they strive to achieve as much as they can, or have had a history of trying to gain power no mortal
should have.
A Broad Spectrum
With their penchant for migration, humans are more physically diverse than any of the other common races to be found.
There is no typical image of a human, as some stand 5ft tall, while others are well over 6ft. Dark skin, pale skin. Long
hair, short hair or even no hair. Depending on the human’s heritage and landscape determines their features, while some
can have their lineage splashed with hints of the Ancient races like elves or lux.
Variety in All Things

Humans are a prime example of adaptability and ambition. They have wildly varying tastes, morals and customs in many
parts of Orbis. Like the slave traders of Nehekhara are brought up to be strong and unflinching, while humans in
Sengoku are taught to be honourable and compassionate. Humans live fully in the present, they don’t have time to dwell
on the past or think on the future, which is why you see so many of the exploring the world and becoming adventures.
Unearthing secrets beneath the earth.
Exemplars of Ambition
Humans who seek adventure are the most daring and ambitious members of a daring and ambitions race. They seek to
earn glory, power, wealth and fame for all sorts of reasons. Some to earn their concrete place in the world among the old
races, others to seek life after death or to cheat it entirely.
Dwarves
Strongholds rich in ancient grandeur, halls carved into the roots of mountains, the echoing of picks and hammers in the
deep mines and blazing forges, a commitment to clan and tradition, and a burning hatred of green-skins and pointy ears.
These are the common threads that unite all dwarves.
Short and Stout

Bold and hardy, dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners and workers of stone and metal. Though they stand well
under 5ft tall, dwarves are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as a human standing nearly two feet taller.
Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger races.
Long Memory, Long Grudges

Dwarves are one of the ancient races, to be born during the Age of Ancients. They can live upwards to 600 years, so they
oldest living dwarves often remember very different world. The world of Orbis has come after them more than once for the
riches that lie within their mountains, and these grudges run deep and are past down from one generation to another.
And for this, they have locked the world out of their lands, opening its gates for only proven friends and worthy allies, but
rarely.
Dwarves hold their traditions and history like a priest would hold the text of the gods. Devotion to one’s clan and craft is
number one priority for dwarves. Many dwarves however leave their homes when they are young to seek glory in battle or
adventure, but they always return to the silvered halls of home.
Blood of Elves and Orcs

When the reign of the Lich King ended, with the destruction and corruption of the elven homeland, the dwarves accepted
the elves into their halls as refuges only to later regret it forever. The corruption had come with the elves and had
blackened the mountains. Orcs and Goblins now spread over the dwarven halls like a plague, all because the elves they so
graciously took in did not realize the curse upon them. The dwarves lost many of their strongholds, clans and families to
this, and they called it the Green Scourge. Till this day, dwarves despise elves and green-skins.
Dwarven Names
Dwarven names are often bestowed upon them by the clan’s elder. Their first name comes first and then their clan name.
But due to the Green Scourge there are only three clans that remain: Clan Ironfist of Deep Hold, Clan Thunderstone of
Four Peaks and Clan Blackfoot of Black Anvil.
Male Names: Adrik, Brottor, Darrek, Delg, Fallond, Freglind, Kildrak, Morgran, Rangrim, Thoradin, Thorin, Tordek.
Female Names: Anbera, Bardryn, Dagnal, Dagne, Eldeth, Helja, Morana, Nora, Ovina, Valida, Vistra, Yrgunna.
Elves
Elves are inherently magical fey creatures that can live far past 1,000 years. They live in places of ethereal beauty, in the
midst of ancient green forests or in silvery towers and castles where soft music drifts through the air. Or at least they
used to. The Lich King saw that all elves would suffer for the rest of their millennial lives.
Slender and Graceful

With their unearthly grace and fine features, most other races find elves hauntingly beautiful. They are generally over 6ft
tall, giving them a sort of superiority complex to humans, dwarves and other smaller races. With their slender builds they
have cat like grace that even the Dagi’Raht could be jealous of. Many choose to let their silky smooth and never tangling
hair grow out and be free, or made into ornate and complicated styles.
A Timeless Perspective
An ancient race in its day, elves are the longest living mortal race of Orbis. Some living to 1,500 years old. What most
would confuse for excitement is merely amusement, and greed but actually curiosity, as elves have all the time in the wold
to experience life’s pleasures and troubles. There is no rush for them. Elves are also flexible when it comes to conflict
among themselves or other mortals. They will often first start with diplomacy, but are more than capable of demonstrating
their martial expertise with a sword or bow.
Even though many will tell you that elves are pompous, arrogant and self-important, elves are generally gracious even to
those that fall short of their high expectations, which is practically everyone that is non-elven. Still, they can find some
good points in just about everyone.
A Home in Ashes
The arrogance of elves however is their ultimate downfall. And a very expensive price they paid for it indeed. Their home of
Ar’Gwaith, now known as Morgoth had fallen victim to the corrupting and vile magic of the Lich King. The elves thought
they could wait out the global conquest of the Lich, but he had a vendetta against the elves for a wrong they did to him
beyond their memory. They were foolish to refuse help from the other races and attempted to meet the Lich King and his
undead corrupted horde on the field of battle, and lost. Their home fell victim to a blackened sky where no sunlight breaks
through. Trees once tall and strong, now withered and ashen. The very elves themselves corrupted into green-skinned
abominations of what they once were. Adults becoming Orcs, and their children becoming Goblins.
Now the elves wander the world, trying to find their place in it once again. They have no home of their own anymore, no
place to return to.
Elven Names
Elves choose their own first names once they are able to do so, and their family name comes second which usually is an
elvish word for something beautiful.

Tieflings
To be greeted with stares and whispers, to suffer violence and insult on the street, to see the mistrust and fear in every
eye, that is the life of a Tiefling. A bargain struck with an infernal entity, or consorting of a fiend results in a life of ridicule
and suspicion. A commodity for slavers, blessings for diabolical cults and enemy of Mount Celestia.
Infernal Bloodline
Tieflings look humanoid enough, but the infernal heritage most defiantly leaves its mark. They have large horns in a
variety of shapes and colours. Curling horns like a ram, straight like a gazelle’s, or spiral spears like an antelope’s. Thick
tails trail behind them, like a shadow of their ‘shame’ . Sharp canine teeth line their mouths, and their eyes solid colours
of black, red, white, silver, orange or any other of the spectrum. And their skin colour is just as flexible and varied like
their eyes.
The birth of a Tiefling is an obvious sign of an infernal pact being struck further in one’s bloodline, or the offspring of such
a fiendish creature with a human, elf or other humanoid mortals.
Self-Reliant and Suspicious

Tieflings are often found in the slums or poverty present areas of cities that would accept them. Many end up becoming
charlatans, thieves or work their way up to crime lords. Tieflings learn quickly to be strong and durable to survive the
world they live in, because they cannot expect any help to come their way. They are cautious to trust anyone, as most see
Tieflings as on opportunity to make some coin by selling them off to the slave masters of Nehekhara. However, there have
been some to prove themselves loyal and valiant heroes, but still with this many would not open their doors for them
willingly.
Tiefling Names
Tieflings are very protective of their true infernal names, as in their infernal nature. A devil would very rarely provide its
true name to a mortal, and so it’s the same with Tieflings. Because of this they usually come up with multiple personas or
decide on a ‘Virtue” name for themselves. A name in which they want the world to see them, or a concept they want to
embody.
Male Infernal Names: Akmenos, Amnon, Barakas, Damankos, Iados, Leucis, Melech, Mordai, Therai.
Female Infernal Names: Akta, Anakis, Criella, Damaia, Kallista, Nemeia, Orianna, Phelaia, Rieta.
Virtue Names: Art, Chant, Creed, Despair, Excellence, Fear, Glory, Hope, Ideal, Music, Nowhere, Quest, Sorrow.

Dragonborn
A warrior race that was vital during the Age of Dragons, and has spread its influence all over the realm of Orbis.
Dragonborn are easily spotted by their draconic appearance, with scales covering their bodies and the heads of dragons.
The Dragonborn military is substantial and almost every member of their race is obligated to attend combat training in
their young years of life.
Discipline and Honor

A lot of the culture of Dragonborn revolves around a strict code of conduct which highly emphasizes strong discipline and
personal responsibility. This has bred a mentality of self-sacrifice in them and they will often put the good of society or
their community over their own desires. They are taught to take responsibility of the choices they make, good or bad, and
if confronted with accusation, it is considered absolute treachery to all Dragonborn to lie about their actions. Another
thing to mention is that some say it is due to their shorter lifespans they have this culture. That they try and do their best
and provide back to society in the short times that they have. There goes a saying, ‘A Dragonborn’s honor’ when people try
and promise things to one another.
Proud Warrior Race

At the heart of Dragonborn society is their military. Dragonborn are given basic training in their adolescent years, and are
obligated to serve time in the military. This develops a certain respect for authority in them, and teaching them to restrain
themselves. Dragonborn also have a strong following for Bahamut and the Stormlord, making battle to them almost as a
form of worshipping these deities. There have been many Dragonborn war heroes throughout history during the Age of
Dragons, the Lich King and Age of Strife.
Benevolent ‘Empire’
The Dragonborn have proved time and time again as they destroy or at least hold the line with their superior tactics and
courage of their fighting might. The ‘empire’ of the Dragonborn has torn through the central part of Magnus Terra,
establishing the largest area of influence in Orbis. However, many of the people they have conquered and allied with have
been allowed to live among the Dragonborn and their society as equals. And over time with many cultures mingling
alongside that of the Dragonborns, this has created the central most holy place if you will. Sanctus, lies in the middle of
Magnus Terra and is considered by many in Orbis as the ‘Holy Nation’.
Righteous Protectors
Since the intermingling of other cultures and beliefs, the Dragonborn have taken up the study of the entire Zodiac and
Heavenly Deities, not just Bahamut and the Stormlord even though they still feel closest to those two. Now Sanctus,
under the semi-rule and protection of the Dragonborn has become the religious centre of the world. The Dragonborn are
considered the holy protectors of this holy land and its people that live within its borders. Their military since the Age of
Innovation has split into two forces. The Hallowed Guard protects and keeps the peace in the capital city of Illustra, and
the Dragonknights in the rest of Sanctus being more of a military force than holy guard.
Dragonborn Names
Dragonborn are given names by their parents and take on a family name. High ranking officers also include their title in
their names.
Male Names: Avitas, Corinthus, Jacobus, Lantar, Nihlus, Quentis, Sapartus, Septimus, Tiran
Female Names: Abrudas, Aciia, Alta, Ciceon, Duronea, Iciria, Selone, Sidera, Sipia, Venari
Family Names: Actus, Kandros, Nyx, Qui’in, Rix, Sidonis, Vakarian, Victus
Dagi’Raht
The Dagi’Raht, hail from the tropical north-western part of Jakku Dah’ar. Known for their grace, intellect and a bit of
mischief making, the Felines have since spread to most other parts of Orbis due to their nomadic and inquisitive nature.
The Big Cats

The Dagi’Raht have cat like features such as fur, a tail and head like a cat, tiger or lion. There are many different
variations and possibilities for how Dagi’Raht look. Like in the desert tropics of their homeland, many of them look like
short haired female lions or tigers, while in the realm of Sanctus they may have large manes of hair like that of a male
lion. And in the marshes of Black Bog, pure jet black fur and dark yellow eyes are common.
Nocturnal Children
A large part of Dagi’Raht culture is the worship of the moon and her goddess, Nocturnal. They say that the Dagi’Raht are
the spiritual children of Nocturnal in similar ways to Moradin and the dwarves. It would explain their feline characteristics
and appearance as Nocturnal is often depicted as a large black cat. The Suthay are a particular type of Dagi’Raht that are
born under the full moon’s light, and it have gifted them with natural magical talents similar with the tenets of Nocturnal.
Dagi’Raht are also known to distil moonlight into a crystallized sweet that they have regularly in their diets.
Double Sided Felines

In their homeland of the Jakku Tropics, there are two civilizations of Dagi’Raht. The southern deserts are littered with
pride centric nomadic tribes that often fight one another. While the northern jungles house an hierarchal society, where
the Mane rules upon his throne.
A same two sided coin image can be said to all the Dagi’Raht that have spread over Orbis. The general two stereotypes is
that a Dagi’Raht is a lair, cheat and thief who will sell out their friends for some quick coin. And the second is that they
are noble and loyal warriors prepared to take a crossbow bolt for their friends. But you never know what you’ll get with a
Dagi’Raht.
Dagi’Raht Names
Each Dagi’Raht has a single name in their language, Ta’agra, but it is also common for those that leave their home to take
a descriptive name for themselves.
Male Names: Akrah, Balag, Dazur, Mi’iaq, Eilun, Fa’alar, Oblan, Rakhad, Sabra, Yan, Zaban, Zino.
Female Names: Abizah, Bakkhara, Bindu, Hani, Kala, Mura, Nayya, Samati, Zara, Zurka.
Common Names: Ashenfur, Black-Paw, Clevereyes, Elf-Biter, Four-Toes, Soft-Fur, Wet-Whiskers.
Saxhleel
The Saxhleel, are the reptile natives of marshy swampland of Black Bog. The other races of Orbis often refer to them as
Lizardfolk or simply Reptilians. Many consider them strange and almost alien in their mannerisms as they interact with
others with almost no personality or emotions in some cases.
Strange Ancestry
The Reptilian’s nature comes through not only their appearance, but also in how they act and think. Other races mistake
them to be cold and calculating, but that is mostly because their physiology lacks the ability to show such expressions in
a noticeable way to those unfamiliar with them. Although they seem reptile like, they share more features with
amphibians. They possess gills that allow them to be submerged in water for a long time, swim in the water almost like a
snake and are capable to grow feathers. Reptilians are not born like most other races, but are hatched from eggs.
They owe their strange mind set and lifestyle to their connection to spirit trees that they worship known as the Ipe Grove.
It is said that these trees have been alive since the Age of Ancients. And most reptilians are born with some type of
connection to these trees, and feel their presence and emotions in their minds at practically all times. Sometimes even
their dreams are from the perspective of a tree in the grove.
Cautious and Loyal

The Reptilians live hard lives trying to survive in the marsh lands of Black Bog. And this has made them untrusting of all
things new, as it could be potentially dangerous to them. They often push away or scare of those that would try to learn
about them from their lands.
However, due to the dangers of Black Bog, they create everlasting bonds with the members of their tribes. And this can be
sad for those that venture out of Black Bog seeking adventure. They build strong friendships to those that have proved
themselves an ally and friend to them.
Eternal Hatred
After the Lich King and the creation of Morgoth and its green-skinned denizens, the Reptilians have grown a deep hatred
for their northern neighbours. When the Lich King was destroyed, the orc hordes ventured south into Black Bog and
destroyed much of the Ipe Grove and its surrounding areas, and the Reptilians were taken as slaves by these wondering
hordes. And so they resorted to guerrilla fighting tactics against the orcs with the help of Bordeaux later on to push them
out of Black Bog.
Reptilian Names
Reptilians generally take a name from their native tongue of Jel, and for those that venture from the bog, get a descriptive
name that relates to themselves.
Male Jel Names: Ah-Ra, Asheeus, Bar-Neeus, Chanka, Geel, Jeh-Tah, Tanaka, Uta-Ra, Vara-Zeen.
Female Jel Names: Am-Eepa, Asska, Beek-Ja, Dakee, Deel, Ei-Ei, Heek-Sa, Jukka, Reesa, Sisar.
Common Names: Black-Scale, Cuts-with-Words, Deepswimmer, Dusty-Claws, Eyes-Like-Night, Follows-the-Sun.

Grogan
“HA! Whoever chooses to fight a grogan is either stupid or a suicidal masochist!” Farem the Broken, Slave Pit Master
Grogan are large, reptilian humanoids native to the harsh desert landscape of Jakku Dah’ar. The Grogan evolved and
thrived in that unforgiving land. Myths and legends claim that the Grogan are descendants of the legendary tarrasque,
and the creature slumbers beneath the sandy wasteland.
Harsh, Unforgiving Landscape

The deserts of Jakku Dah’ar have made life difficult for any that choose to inhabit it. The harsh and dry landscape with
minimal resources has forced many to adapt to its conditions or fall prey to the heat or its predators. And so the Grogan
evolved and adapted to their unforgiving environment.
Hard to Kill Bastards

Grogan are notorious for being hardy and some of the most enduring of the mortal races of Orbis. Their skin is thick and
chitinous plates like armor cover their body. Standing well over 7ft tall and weighing around 350lb-500lb, you don’t want
a raging grogan charging at you at its full speed. They have large humps on their backs that they use to store vital fluids
and proteins for survival. Grogan also possess not one, but two sets of vital organs in case one is injured or fails. But with
the armoured skin and redundant organs is not what makes them tough bastards, it’s their legendary Blood Rage.
The Blood Rage is a biological reaction that takes place in the Grogans body. When it gets to a certain point where pain
would send most creatures into shock, adrenaline starts pumping through their veins and their pain threshold increases
to almost impossible levels. Their cells begin to panic and regenerate themselves rapidly. The enhanced energy levels, pain
tolerance and healing factor of the Blood Rage is truly what makes them forces to be reckoned with.
Clan Society
Grogans value little else over strength. Grogan society is built upon the hierarchy where the strong rule and the weak
perish. They live in clans lead by a Warlord, advised by the clan’s shamans, and are constantly waring with one another
for the limited resources in Jakku Dah’ar. Even within a clan itself, distrust runs rampant as everyone fights for
dominance over the clan. However, there are laws and rules put in place by the wisest of the Grogan, the Shamans. There
are laws for declaring war, taking prizes, raiding, breeding and respect.
Grogan culture is also littered with traditional rites and rituals. Their mentality is that nothing is given, and you must
fight for everything. This ensures that only the strongest survive. When a Grogan is born, they suffer through the Rite of
Life. When they come of adult age and size, they undergo the Rite of Passage. If they want to be considered for breeding,
they undergo the Rite of Fertility. If a Grogan wishes to become a shaman, they undergo the Rite of Insight. The rituals
and rites the shamans endure are lengthy and torturous, as most don’t survive the ordeals. Those that survive become
advisors to Warlords and the most respected in a clan, usually never challenged.
Grogan Names
Grogan names are fairly simple; a clan name followed by a given name.
Male Names: Archuk, Brood, Charr, Drax, Slab, Grunt, Guld, Nax, Okeer, Wrex
Female Names: Bakara, Chormi, Derge, Kesh, Khorga, Morda, Vruxa, Kora

CHAPTER IV: Cosmic Powers

The Balance Maintained
Orbis’s multiverse maintains a careful balance over the different pantheons that claim dominion over the aspects that
make up the very fabrics of reality itself.
The Heavenly Deities of Elysium call domain over all things natural, moral and good in living and non-living things.
Inspiring the hearts of those that wish to be good and just, guiding them to preserve what makes the world beautiful and
protect the balance of what is natural and what is unnatural.
The Demon Princes of the Abyss hold sway over what burns inside the chaotic hearts of mortals, turning them to spread
corruption and want to see the realms burn in demonic ire. Fanatics blinded by power worship these unholy beings due to
madness or paranoia seeded there by the servants of these Princes.
The Devil Lords of the Hells plant their seeds of promise. Exchanging the purity of one’s soul to grant them power and
their deepest desires. Methodically and thought through, they further their goals behind the curtains and in shadows,
careful to not draw full attention to their ultimate goals.
The Zodiac, twelve beings that claim influence over all the spaces between the planer worlds and the strings of fate.
Faintly influencing the lives of the mortals that inhabit these worlds, but never directing taking control of events that
transpire.
The Four Avatars are almost mythical in their existence. One immensely powerful being in each of the elemental planes
of Fire, Earth, Water and Air. Forbidden by the cosmos that these beings travel to another world, as the balance in the
elements will be turned on its head and unspeakable catastrophes would come to fruition.
The Old Gods are no older than any of the other Cosmic Powers of Orbis, only long forgotten by most and fearfully
dreaded by those that remember. Locked away and sealed in tombs of godly might, they lay waiting to be broken free from
their chains. They eek out whispers into the ether in the hopes of gaining once again a mass of followers to serve them
once more.
There is but one force that keeps the balance and oversees that one side of the scale does not tip in the others favour.
They are its judges, juries and executioners, the Horsemen of the End Times

Firearms Rules and Properties

Misfire: Whenever you make an attack roll with a simple firearm, and the dice roll is equal to or lower that the
weapon’s Misfire score, the weapon misfires. The attack misses and the weapon cannot be used again until you spend
an action to try and repair it. To repair your firearms, you must make a successful Tinker’s Tools check (DC equal to
8 + misfire score). If your check fails, the weapon is broken and must be mended out of combat at a quarter of the
cost of the firearm.
Reload: The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Reload score before you must spend a bonus action to
reload its ammunition.
Long Load: The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Long Load score before you must spend an action
to reload its ammunition.
Shell Loading. The weapon can be fired a number of times equal to its Shell Loading score before you must reload its
ammunition. You may spend a bonus action to reload 3 pieces of ammunition, or spend an action to fully reload the
weapon.
Scatter. Weapons with the Scatter property have two types of damage, a regular damage roll and a scatter damage
roll. When you attack roll against a creature, compare the roll to the AC of all creatures within 5ft of the target. If your
attack would hit them, deal the weapon’s scatter damage roll to the creatures. You do not add your ability modifier to
the damage of this attack.
Bulky. Firearms with the Bulky property have to be made stable in order to be fired effectively due to their weight and
the damage they can put out with a single shot. You must spend an action preparing the weapon before you fire it.
Your speed becomes 0 while the weapon is set up. When you reload the weapon, you must spend another action to set
it up again.
