Introduction

Go to Even More Adventures!
Ever dreamed of magnificent adventures, soaring in the skies

with dragons, manipulating massive magical spells in order to
call down meteorites, and even watching a deity show up in
front of you? Have you ever longed to be a hero, one who can
defeat everything in front of them endlessly?
This book will give you the chance to become a hero such as
those, carving your own legacy out to sit among the ones that
have come before. The time has finally come for your
adventure to become a legend!
This book contains data for levels 11 to 15, the highest a
humanoid can naturally attain. As such, there are several new
spells, Combat Feats, and other abilities to make your
character as powerful as the legends say. Of course, this power
doesn't come overnight, and even getting to 10th level is an
accomplishment in and of itself. However, what lies within is
especially powerful, due to the requirements needed to attain
them.
Additionally, with new powers and abilities come new
monsters to use them on. These new foes are quite powerful
in their rights, often strong enough to repel a full-frontal attack
on their own. Some may be even more powerful than a whole
party at the 15th level, so proper tactics learned over your
characters' long adventures, in addition to new abilities, will be
the way forward.
Additionally, the new class "Rider" appears in this book.
Becoming a Rider allows you to take your favorite horse,
mythical beast or magitech construct into battle and fight as a
single unit in the wilderness, plains, and even the sky and sea.
Also, the new "Valkyrie" race has been introduced, as well as
6
rules for creating a new character at higher levels of play in
case a new player wishes to join an already-existing campaign.
There are also additional rules for various other situations that
may occur during play, such as structural destruction,
connecting with celebrities and NPCs, and new lists of NPCs
and regions.
As long as you continue your journey, the adventure never
ends. Time to carve out your own legend! Good luck!
Precautions When Using This Book
References to Core Rulebook I and Core Rulebook II

When it is necessary to refer to “Core Rulebook I” or “Core
Rulebook II” in this book it will be done in brackets “(see CR
I p. X-Y)”.
Riders and Character Sheets
With the new "Rider" class comes new Stunts to be used while
riding. These Stunts have their own place on the character
sheet already, so there's no need to try and add them in
somewhere else. Additionally, "Rider" levels can be used for
Monster Knowledge rolls, but only to determine the monster's
stats, not its Weak Point.
Rider Mount Management
In this book, the rules and data of the Mounts are posted along
with Rider Stunts. This information is necessary to make sure
the player is using the Rider's Stunts correctly. When using
Mounts, it is recommended to copy the data of the Mount
right off of the page, to have it handy when necessary.

Human Cavalier

Character Commentary
A human jockey armed with a one-handed spear and leather
armor. He is a rider class and fights on horseback.
Rider class allows you to skillfully manipulate riding animals,
mythical beasts, and magitech (collectively referred to as
mount). Allows to move quickly and attack while on them. As
you level up, you will get an ability called stunt to control
mounts. This character has [Attack Obstruction] stunt, which
avoids attacks if he is riding on a mount, and [Charge] stunt,
which allows charging while riding.
When riding, the mount can also attack with jockey, which can
help greatly in combat. However, you should also be aware of
the mount's HP, as the mount can also be the target of attacks.
If you purchase a <Mount Contract Certificate> from an
organization called the Rider’s Guild, you will be able to rent
a mount. This character has a Mount Contract Certificate for
a Horse, so he can rent Horse (see p. 124) at any time at the
Rider’s Guild. With enough money, you can buy another
mount.
If you choose to use a level-
up grown version of this
character, you will be able to
perform more stunts and you
will have better equipment
for riding. You will also have
Aramid Coat, armor with the
required strength +10.
Ride your steed and hit your
enemies with all your might!

Elf Wizard
15
He is a magic prodigy who has mastered both spiritualism
magic and truespeech magic. You can learn a lot of spells and
magic and use an abundant amount of MP to cast use magic
as you see fit.
Use truespeech magic's [Energy Bolt] or spiritualism magic's
[Spark] when you want to attack, and spiritualism magic's
[Protection] or [Enchant Weapon] when you want to support
your friends. He also has combat feat [Magic Magnification /
Number], so you can take bold actions to affect more enemies
or allies.
After growth weapons and armor are not conspicuous, but this
is compensated by different magic items, like Mana Ring with
magic damage increased by +1 and Ring of the Mind with a +1
bonus for Willpower. Also, your Calling Studs will allow you
to have a conversation with others even if you are far away.
You can also use your familiars created by [Familiar] spell to
survey surroundings and contact with allies.
Be the greatest wizard
of them all!

Tabbit Artificer
21
You are magitech, you shoot your enemies with your gun.
While attacking they can shoot bullets with magic power inside
and use magitech to support their allies.
You have plenty of MP, so don't hesitate to use [Targeting
Sight]. Use your [Precise Shot] combat feat, to aim true.
Will leveling up, your style of shooting enemies with your gun
does not change. You can charge your bullets with [Laser
Bullet] and improve its accuracy [Homing Laser]. You can use
high-level magitech spells that can be used in various situations
such as [Life Sensor] and [Medical Kit].
With your growth, your strength will also rise. You will have a
powerful magic gun <Carnage +1>. You also have a <Bullet
Shower> with a lot of magazines as a spare even in long-term
battles. Keep in mind that different guns have different fire
ranges.
Help your friends with your magical gun and defeat powerful
enemies!

Runefolk Gladiator
27
It is a gladiator character who fights with fists, kicks, and
throws. It also can empower its abilities with enhancer class.
Since this character has mastered Weapon
Proficiency/Wrestling combat feat, you can expect high
damage from early levels. Sometimes the rush of attacks with
fists and kicks can do more than a warrior's most powerful
weapon.
From the Enhancer class, you will have [Gazelle Feet]
technique, which can cover your Defense by improving
evasion. The enhancer class does not increase MP, but by
being a runefolk you have the racial ability [HP Conversion]
that can increase the number of times you use your
techniques.
When exploring you can use your ranger class. Your potions
will also be more effective with ranger class, so if you have
more money to spare, buy various potions and upgrade your
equipment.
After growing up, you will become a skillful fighter who can
use many techniques. You will have <Tonfa +1> and <Accel
Brogue +1>. Both are Magic
weapons that have high
attack power. You will have
S-ranked armor <Lynx
Vest>, taking advantage of
your high strength. You will
also useful [Counter] combat
feat.
Slash your way through
enemies as a gladiator!

Nightmare Paladin
33
This character is a nightmare who is the master of both
weapons and the divine at the same time. He can be a good
frontline warrior and a reliable healer.
You can stand to be in heat of battle and heal yourself and
your friends while taking attacking head-on.
You were born as a dwarf and fire is your weak point, but you
are a cleric of Grendal, God of Fire. If you can cleverly
roleplay this imbalance, your character will become more
distinctive.
As this character grows, his healer/attacker role will become
more prominent. Combat Feat [Toughness] will increase the
maximum HP further, and by using [Multi Action], it is
possible to both attack and heals in one turn. Some of
Grendal's special divine magic spells are aggressive, and in case
of emergency, his spells can attack the enemies in front of you.
Also, since you have mastered "Weapon Proficiency II /
Sword", you have <Claymore Custom Forged +1> equipped.
It is a Magic weapon with the highest power of its level. High
strength allows you to have powerful armor and shield to be
equipped with the required
strength +10. Conquer the
flames and baptize enemies
who stand in your way!

Grassrunner Rogue
39
This is a grassrunner light warrior with weapons in both hands.
The one-handed weapon doesn’t do much damage, but
holding in both two hands and attacking twice fixes that (two
attacks will result in a -2 accuracy penalty). However, you can
have problems while attacking enemies in powerful armor, so
it is a good idea to have your friends magically support you
when fighting such foes.
You also will be a pretty good scout and because of that will
be good at exploring and investigating. You can easily act
alone. You can quickly escape enemies even if they find you.
If you choose to use a high-level version, you will maximize
your area of expertise. Combat feats [Fast Action] and
[Shadow Sneak] will allow you to slip through the battlefield
and attack enemy wizards and bosses behind enemy lines.
Your evasion will also increase significantly, to support the hit-
and-run fighting style. After the battle is over you can find
treasure location perceptively with combat feat [Treasure
Hunt].
You will have two
<Piercers Custom Forged
+1> with adjusted Strength
required so that they can
be used by fencers such as
you.
Play smart and disturb
enemies with your tricky
fighting style!

Valkyrie Knight
45
She is a valkyrie jockey who rides on a horse into battle. She is
frontline ready equipped with her one-handed sword and metal
armor. Unlike Human Jockey (see sample character before) she has
metal armor that can reduce incoming damage and she can have
different combat feat like [Power Strike] to defeat enemies.
Valkyrie's race ability Light Wings of the War-Maiden will allow
ignoring damage from falling. Another race ability Blessing of the
War-Maiden can enhance mounts and other characters. Both are
fitting to her Rider class.
You will know [Elevated Attack] stunt which increases your extra
damage by 2 points when riding. Combined with Power Strike, you
can make powerful attacks that can surpass even two-handed
weapons. In addition, your mount can also attack which will also
increase your damage output. Note that the rider class is 1st level,
but the mount has 2nd level. Your combat feats will reduce your
evasion, but techniques will reduce the incoming damage.
A high-level variant will grant you many more Stunts and allow you
to mount stronger mounts. You can increase your attack power even
more by riding mounts with unique skills such as wyverns and
dragons. If you purchase multiple Mount Contract Certificates, you
can carry multiple Mounts as statues or store them in the spheres,
so you can change the mounts
you mount according to the
situation.
Defeat the enemy with your
overwhelming attack power and
your mounts without allowing
the enemy's counterattack!

Additional Data for PC Creation
New Races and Backgrounds
Below is listed the Valkyrie, a race new to Raxia. Additionally,

there is a background chart included, allowing for even low-
level Valkyries to be introduced into your game.
Valkyrie
These rare maidens are the result of a mutation before birth,
similar to nightmares. Born only to humans, and only as
females, they are commonly referred to as "Children of God".
One possible origin of the valkyries is that they are
reincarnated from absolutely pure souls, with no soulscars at
all. However, why such souls were chosen to reincarnate, and
not proceed on into the afterlife, is still unknown. Like
humans, valkyries reach maturity at the age of 15, and
commonly live to around 100 years of age.
Though they appear similar to humans, patterns are
resembling small wings on the back and ankles of every
valkyrie. These bloom into full wings of light when the racial
feature [Light Wings of the War-Maiden] is used.
Additionally, valkyries are adept at dealing with Mythical
Beasts and other animals and can help others with their racial
feature [Blessing of the War-Maiden].
While they have been touched by a divine presence, there are
those valkyries who do not choose the Priest class. However,
many do at least take up arms in the name of some god, if not
become fully fledged holy warriors.
51
Starting Languages: Can read and write Regional Dialect (see
CR I: p. 87-93) and Trade Common (see CR I: p. 87-93).
Restricted Classes: None
Racial Abilities
[Light Wings of the War-Maiden]: If you would fall from any
significant height, you can create a set of wings made out of
light in order to slow your fall. So long as you're conscious, you
can fall from any height and land without taking fall damage or
falling prone. You can't move freely in the air as though you
were flying, but you can hold on to other characters and
equipment to a weight of 200 kg.
[Blessing of the War-Maiden]: Offers a blessing to a character
in the same area, other than the valkyrie or any mount the
valkyrie may be using. Once per day, as a Minor Action, the
valkyrie can give any target a +2 bonus to Fortitude and
Willpower for 3 minutes (18 rounds). This effect only works
on Humanoids, Animals, and Mythical Beasts.

High Level Characters
High Level Sample Characters
Pages earlier present high-level sample characters. There is all

you might need to start to play at high level when you don't
have time to make a character. You can find hint on how to
play these sample characters in their character commentary.
Some abilities of those characters are introduced in this book,
so make sure to read it before play.
In addition, you can find character sheets of same characters
at low level. You can use them as ready characters (see CR I:
p. 28-66) or for reference for character growth.
High level sample characters have grown 30 times, have
additional experience points of 41,000 points (total experience
points of 44,000 points), have money cash of 75,000, and have
750 reputation.
Character Growth up to 15th Level
The following is a table showing the experience points both

Major and Minor classes require in order to advance up to the
maximum of 15th level. The parenthetical number is the total
accumulated experience needed, assuming the character did
not have any levels in the class to begin with.

Creating a High-Level Characters
Here, you can find information how to create a high-level

characters by giving experience points to the low level
character created in Normal Creation (see CR I: p. 66-102).
The creation procedure is basically the same.
Guidelines for Creating a High-Level Characters
When creating a higher-level character, the first thing that

should be done is to figure out the Adventurer Level for the
character to be created. Once this is determined, the following
chart gives a number of statistics important to the character,
such as Growth Points to spend on Ability Scores, Experience
Points and Money to spend on Classes and Items, and Total
Reputation. These are all added to the starting character's
statistics, as rolled from their specific race's Background tables.
High-Level Character Creation
Avg. Growth Add'l Add'l Total
Adventurer Points Experience Money Reputation
Level
7-8 15 17000 30,000 300
8-9 18 23000 40,000 400
9 - 10 23 31000 55,000 550
10 - 11 30 41000 75,000 750
11 - 12 39 53000 100,000 1,000
56
Determining Ability Scores and Spending Growth
As with creating a starting character, creating a high-level

character requires the player to roll for their race's Ability
Scores, and add them to the starting Skill, Body and Mind
scores as determines by the character's Background. After,
they then have a number of Growth Points, which are added
to their stats as Growth Points normally are, which is to roll 2d
and choose one of the stats shown by the dice.
However, as high-level characters have a great number of
Growth Points, and not everyone wants to sit around rolling
2d some 20, 30 or more times in a row, the table below splits
up the number of Growth Points into six average results. This
way, the player can just choose which of their six Ability Scores
get which Growth Points added to them, and it will save a lot
of time and rolling on everyone's part.
Growth Rate Average Table
Growth Score Score Score Score Score Score
Points ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥
15 5 4 2 2 1 1
18 6 5 3 2 1 1
23 8 6 3 3 2 1
30 10 7 4 4 3 2
39 12 9 6 5 4 3
57
Learning Classes
Creating a high-level character begins the same way as creating

a starting character, as mentioned previously. When it comes
to the character's classes, determine the starting classes as per
the character's Background, add the Experience Points given
to the character at that point to the additional Experience
Points as per the chart above, and then proceed to buy levels
in both Major and Minor classes.
However, in order to save time, there are also charts below
that spend those Experience Points for you, whether to
expedite a character being created on the fly, to aid in doing
what may be seen as difficult math, or to help a player make a
choice when they might be overwhelmed by their options.
Along with each class shows how many Experience Points are
being spent on levels in those classes, so that can be tracked
appropriately.
These tables assume each class is bought using Experience
Points without having a level already. If you wish to advance in
a class that you already have a level in from your Background,
you can add the Experience Points that that level would have
cost back to your Experience Points. For example, starting
with a level in a Major Class would refund 1000 Experience
Points, while each level in a Minor Class refunds 500
Experience per level. Additionally, these samples are just that,
and may be changed so long as the Experience Point totals
remain the same.

Important Note! Classes to Learn!
When creating characters, it is important that someone in the
adventuring party has mastered the Scout and Sage classes
(though it doesn't have to be the same character with both
classes).
Without Scouts, the party will have trouble navigating their
way through cities and dungeons and will almost certainly be
on the backfoot when it comes to monsters and combat
initiative. Without Sages, it's difficult to figure out what kind of
monsters you may be fighting, and the party can be taken
advantage of by attacks and defenses that remain unknown.
Additionally, searching through ruins and labyrinths becomes
significantly more difficult without the knowledge of a Sage
handy.
Please consult with the other players when creating characters,
in order to make sure your adventuring party has all of the
appropriate classes covered!
Language Acquisition
Learning languages as high-level characters is the same as

learning languages as a starting character. However, if a
character ends up taking levels in either the Sage or Bard
classes, these classes offer the chance to learn additional
languages. Exactly which languages the character learns
through these classes is up to the player.
62
Determining Adventurer Level, HP and MP
At this point, enough information should be available to

determine the character's Adventurer Level, HP, and MP.
Remember, Adventurer Level is the highest level of all classes
the character has levels in, while HP is the character's total
Vitality plus three times their Adventurer Level, and MP is still
the character's Spirit added to three times the combined levels
of all spellcasting classes the character has.
Learning Combat Feats
A high-level character's Combat Feats begin with those learned

as a starting character. Once the starting Combat Feats are
determined, new Combat Feats are picked, up to a maximum
based upon the character's Adventurer Level as shown in the
table below. However, this does not consider those Combat
Feats learned automatically (such as [Chain Attack] and
[Throw Attack] when a level in Grappler is taken). Don't forget
to list those Combat Feats as well.

Purchasing Equipment and Spending Reputation
Equipment can be freely purchased for high-level characters

by using the large amount of money and Reputation. These
stores of wealth can be used to purchase a lot of higher rank
magical items and equipment, but don't forget to purchase the
equipment needed for your classes. When purchasing
Accessories, it's helpful to not only copy the name, but also the
effect of the accessory (if any) onto the character sheet as well.
When running low on money, it's not a bad idea to pick up
some healing items and consumables, such as potions and
Mako Stones, all at once.
Finishing Up
At this point, once the character is outfitted with equipment,

they should be ready to begin play. Unlike starting characters,
high-level characters are able to tackle much more difficult
challenges, whether it be combat against a fierce dragon or
arguing in the court of a king. Go out and enjoy the adventures
that await!

Part 2 Game Rules
66
Rules for Riding
This section covers rules for riding. For clarification, the term
"riding" is referring to any time a character is on a horse,
motorcycle, or other object or being that is capable of moving
on its own separate from the mounted character.
Riding and Mounts
As mentioned above, riding is when a character is on a horse,

motorcycle or other object or being that moves on its own.
Objects and animals capable of being ridden are collectively
referred to as "Mounts". When riding, it's assumed that the
character riding has some control of the mount, whether it be
the speed of the mount, the direction the mount is going, etc.
Riders and Jockeys

While anyone can ride on a horse, for example, and be called
a rider, there are those who can take the time and master
everything there is to know about their mounts. These gifted
individuals are better known as "Jockeys," having mastered the
Rider class (see p. 108).
Rider Restrictions
Characters who wish to mount up, but do not have levels in
the Rider class, are limited in the mounts they can choose.
Specifically, such riders are limited to Horses, War Horses,
and Manabikes (both normal and minibikes). Additionally,
they are unable to do much more than steer their mount. A
jockey, on the other hand, is able to ride nearly any mount, so
67
long as their Rider class level is equal to or higher than the
Mount's Appropriate Level (see p. 121).
Benefits of Riding
The most obvious benefit of riding a mount is being able to
move using the Movement Speed and movement methods of
the mount in question, regardless of the rider's own Movement
Speed. For example, riding a Pegasus will allow the rider to
not only move at the Pegasus' speed, but also fly through the
sky at the Pegasus' Flying speed. If the character has levels in
the Rider class, they can use their Adventurer Level to
enhance the skills of the mount (see p. 72). Additionally,
jockeys have access to Riding Stunts (see p. 109), special
techniques only Riders can perform, coaxing out the full
power of the mount.
Strengthening Mounts
Whenever a jockey is riding a mount, they can push the mount
to its limits, drawing out more from the mount than non-
jockeys. When the jockey is riding a mount, the mount's
"Mount Level" (see p. 121) is the same as the jockey's
Adventurer Level. If the jockey's Adventurer Level is higher
than the maximum value of the mount's Appropriate Level,
then the mount's Mount Level is considered to be the
maximum value instead.
Adventurer Level Reference
Under the revised riding rules, the mount will now use the
jockey's Adventurer Level as long as the jockey meets the
minimum required level to ride. As a result, the jockey and
mount will tend to be much closer in level, making the mount
much easier to handle after this revision.
68
Perception when Riding and Commanding the Mount
Each mount has a set perception, separate from that of the
jockeys. If a rider or jockey gives a command to a mount, and
the mount cannot understand the command due to a lack of
perception (i.e., it cannot find the destination or appropriate
target), then the command will end up ignored. Any bonuses
and penalties to perception will be handled separately between
jockey and mount.
Restrictions when Riding

When riders and jockeys mount up, they are bound by certain
restrictions. Riders, for example, must take up the method of
control (whether reins, handlebars, or something else) in both
hands, and cannot use either hand for something other than
controlling their mount. Jockeys, on the other hand, are able
to ride one-handed, and so can use their other hand for
weapons, items, spells, magical implements, etc.
Riding Behavior and Riding Checks

Normally, riders and jockeys do not need to make any sort of
check while riding or controlling mount. However, there may
be special circumstances where the GM may rule that the
mount is becoming skittish, unstable, or something along
those lines. In such cases, the GM may call for a Riding check
(see p. 108) in order to keep the mount under control.
Riding Checks when not Mounted
Even if the jockey is not riding the mount when the GM calls
for a Riding check, if the jockey and mount are in close
proximity to each other is it assumed that the jockey has
control of the mount in some manner (reins in hand, holding
69
handlebars, etc.). In such cases, the Riding check would be
made as though the jockey was actually riding the mount.
Mount Behavior
If a mount must make a check while away from a jockey, they
have a standard value given as part of their data, and this
standard value is what gets used. In this situation, the mount's
level is calculated using the Adventurer Level of its jockey. If
the mount needs to make a check and there is no given
reference value, assume the value is equal to the Mount Level.
Falling and Mounts

If either the rider (or jockey) or the mount would fall over
while riding, the rider falls prone and will take falling damage
(see CR I: p. 207-213). In this situation, the fall distance is
equal to 1/20th the distance moved in the previous turn
(rounded up), with a minimum of 2m. As with regular falling
damage, the character may attempt a Tumble check to reduce
the damage taken from falling off of a mount.
Passengers and Double Riding

A rider or jockey can have another character riding on the
same mount. Such a character is known as a "Passenger", and
riding with a passenger is "Double Riding".
Even with a passenger, a mount does not change its Movement
Speed or types of movement, and the mount's data does not
change. Additionally, both the rider and passenger will move
at the mount's Movement Speed, taking their Moves
simultaneously. It takes a Major Action for a character to
either mount or dismount as a passenger.
70
When double riding, all riders (including jockeys) receive a -4
penalty to all checks (see p. 91). In addition, passengers cannot
use their hands for anything but holding on to the mount, and
the only Action they may take, Major or Minor, is to dismount
the mount.
Jockeys
Unlike other riders, having levels in the Rider class and

becoming a jockey will help a character get the best out of
anything they choose to mount. There is also the possibility to
join the Riders' Guild (see p. 253) and rent a mount, purchase
a Mount Contract Certificate, and shop for other rider- and
mount-related equipment.
Mount Contract Certificates and Renting Mounts

Jockeys are able to rent mounts from the Riders' Guild, so long
as they have a Mount Contract Certificate. This certificate
shows that the character has the requisite knowledge and skill
to ride that particular type of mount, and so for each different
mount offered, a new Mount Contract Certificate must be
purchased. However, once this is taken care of, that mount
may be rented any number of times.
Returning the Mount
At the end of the session, mounts rented from the Riders'
Guild must be returned. However, if the mount's HP is 0 or
less, the Guild will look down on the character as someone
who can't protect their mount and will give the character a
Dishonor Mark (see p. 82).
71
Mount Upkeep
Whether buying a mount to own, or renting one from the
Guild, upkeep and maintenance costs will need to be paid. To
keep bookkeeping simple, the upkeep and maintenance costs
for a mount is the same as the PC for both food and shelter.
Magitech-Type mounts, as well as those that are animated
statues (see p. 80), do not require such upkeep and
maintenance costs.
About Mount Upkeep
These costs are not paid on a session-by-session basis, but
rather only when a PC would be eating or sleeping.
Mount Control and Strengthening a Mount

Another benefit of being a jockey is being able to control the
mount with one hand, leaving the other open. Additionally,
the jockey is more accurately able to command the mount,
due to their training.
Also, when the jockey is riding a mount, the mount's "Mount
Level" is the same as the jockey's Adventurer Level. If the
jockey's Adventurer Level is higher than the maximum value
of the mount's Appropriate Level, then the mount's Mount
Level is considered to be the maximum value instead.
Learning and Using Stunts

By taking levels in the Rider class, the character is able to learn
different Stunts that they can have the mount perform. For
each level in the Rider class the character has, they may learn
one Stunt, as listed in the Rider's class description (see p. 108).
72
Jockey Benefit Summary
• Able to control a mount with one hand

• Minor Action instead of a Major Action to mount or
dismount
• Make Riding Checks (see p. 93)
• Use your Adventurer Level instead of the mount's
Mount Level
• Perform Stunts
• Rent a mount free of charge from the Riders' Guild
with appropriate Mount Contract Certificate
73
Mounts
Definition of a Mount
A mount is an object or character intended to be controlled

by a rider, through holding a bridle and reins or a control stick,
riding, and issuing commands. All mounts are operated by a
single rider, moving, and acting based upon the rider's
intentions. Additionally, jockeys can also enhance a mount,
and have learned how to get the most out of any mount they
ride.
Riding Conditions and Proper Level

In order to ride a mount properly, the rider's levels in the
Rider class must at least equal the mount's minimum
Appropriate Level, if not higher.
Mount Ownership
To protect a mount from being stolen or manipulated by

others, the jockey needs to establish ownership of the mount
they're using. In doing so, the mount will recognize the jockey
as the one in control and will refuse to work with others.
Mounts owned by the jockey will exclusively respond to the
jockey's commands and no others.
In order to show knowledge of the mount and to establish a
contract with the Riders' Guild, the jockey needs to have a
Mount Contract Certificate. However, to show ownership of a
specific mount, the jockey also needs to have a Mount
74
Proprietary Certificate. One of the benefits of the Proprietary
Certificate is the jockey can transform the mount in question
into a statue form.
Securing Ownership and Certificates

The Mount Contract Certificate is a paper showing that the
character has a contract with a particular mount. The Contract
Certificate does not need to be equipped, just in the character's
possession.
When renting a mount at the Riders' Guild, the character
presents the Contract Certificate and signs a contract to
temporarily become the mount's master. When making a
contract, a simple ritual is performed, and a magical mark is
engraved onto the mount in order to show ownership. This
contract lasts until the mount is returned to the Riders' Guild,
at which point the mark disappears. If either the jockey or
mount dies, the magical mark is not removed.
A jockey cannot rent a mount from the Riders' Guild without
a Mount Contract Certificate. The name of the mount is
attached to the certificate as well, so there is no generic Mount
Contract Certificate, but a character may have a Horse
Contract Certificate or a Draconet Contract Certificate. Each
mount's contract is sold by the Riders' Guild, and the price of
each Certificate is listed in the Mount Data.
Mount Contract Sphere
For Magitech-Type mounts, the Riders' Guild offers
magispheres instead of certificates. However, the uses are
practically the same as a certificate.
75
Proprietary Certificates and Spheres
If a character ends up purchasing a mount from the Riders'
Guild, and not just renting one, the character is given a
Proprietary Mount Certificate or Proprietary Mount Sphere.
This is proof that a character owns a particular mount. The
Proprietary Mount Certificate is prepared for an individual
mount, and the character's name is added to the Certificate as
well, so it would end up being "(Character Name)'s Proprietary
Mount Certificate".
Even if someone else has a Mount Contract Certificate for the
same type of mount, the mount cannot have the Guild's seal
ritual performed on it, and it will not listen to anyone other
than its owner. Additionally, any mount whose owner has a
Proprietary Certificate (or Sphere) increases all sections'
maximum HP by 10.
Exclusive Certificates and Normal Contracts
Purchasing a mount from the Riders' Guild doesn't preclude
the jockey from continuing to rent mounts from the Guild. It
is possible to have an owned mount and a rental mount from
the Guild at the same time. While a rental mount still needs
to abide by the rules in the contract with the Riders' Guild, a
purchased mount does not need to abide by the same rules.
Mounts without Contracts
Without a Mount Contract Certificate, a mount is not
considered to have any sort of owner, Riders' Guild, or
otherwise. However, even without a Certificate, a character
riding a mount is temporarily considered the mount's owner.
Wild animals, having not been trained by the Riders' Guild
and used to having a rider, cannot be considered mounts as
they are. However, with the GM's permission, a character can
76
try and communicate with the animal in order to turn it into a
mount. In that case, the character can receive a Proprietary
Mount Certificate when registering that mount with the Riders'
Guild free of charge.
Ownership Restrictions
Mount ownership remains valid as long as Jockey keeps the
Mount Contract Certificate and a Mount Proprietary
Certificate. However, Jockey can have active Stunt effects on
one mount at the same time.
Transfer of Ownership
If you have multiple Mount Contract Certificates and Mount
Proprietary Certificates, you can carry around multiple
mounts as statues or in enclosures or ride them as jockey see
fit.
Even if jockey takes hold of another jockey’s Mount Contract
Certificate, the ownership will not be transferred. Neither
Mount Contract Certificate nor Mount can be used by others.
However, the jockey who does not have its Mount Contract
Certificate will not be able to mount contracted mount and will
not be able to perform a stunt with it. If you lose your Mount
Contract Certificate, you will need to pay the same amount to
reissue it.
Ownership and Rent of Multiple Beasts
If you own different types of Mount Contract Certificates or
Mount Contract Spheres, you can rent them all from the
Rider’s Guild, one body at a time. However, you cannot
control more than one mount at the same time.
77
Mount Statues
A jockey can have a mount turned into a statue by affixing a

Mount Certificate, Proprietary Certificate or other paperwork
used in the contract ritual (such as a Reduction Tag) directly
to the mount. In doing so, the mount becomes a statue and
shrinks to be about the size of one's palm, making it
impervious to harm and easy to carry around. However, the
jockey must own the mount in question, and if they lose
ownership of the mount, it cannot be recalled from a statue
form.
A mount in statue form cannot move on its own and is treated
as though time has not passed at all once recalled from statue
form. In order to recall the mount, the attached tag must be
removed from the statue. It is greatly advised that the statue be
placed on the ground before the tag is removed, as the mount
will return to normal size upon tag removal.
Difference Between Certificates and Reduction Tags
When turning a mount into a statue, or recalling a mount from
a statue, if a Mount Certificate or Proprietary Certificate is
used in the process, it is a Major Action to either affix or
removes the Certificates.
However, when using any of the Reduction Tags (I to III) (see
p. 141), it is only a Minor Action to affix or remove the Tag.
Storing and Recalling Magitech-Type Mounts
Magitech-type mounts can be stored and recalled similar to
other mounts, though the specifics differ. For Magitech-type
mounts, Mount Spheres, Proprietary Spheres, and Manabike
Storage Spheres are all built around a particular mount, which
is stored within the magisphere. To either store or recall a
78
Magitech-type mount, the jockey must spend 1 MP while
holding the appropriate magisphere. This MP may come from
a Mako Stone if so desired.
As with Contract Certificates, Mount Spheres and Proprietary
Spheres require a Major Action to either store or recall a
mount, while the Manabike Storage Sphere only uses a Minor
Action.
Reduction Tag Interference
Reduction Tags aren't the strongest of magics, so when two
mounts turned into statues via these Tags are in close
proximity to each other, the magic of one Tag will interfere
with the other, causing both mounts to revert to normal size.
Because of this interference, a jockey may only turn one
mount into a statue via Reduction Tags. However, the magic
in the Reduction Tags does not interfere with any Certificates
or Spheres, allowing the jockey to use those to carry more
stored mounts with them.
Promoting Mounts
Horses purchased and owned by jockeys may undergo special

training at the Riders' Guild, and if successful can be trained
as War Horses. These War Horses can be trained further,
becoming Legendary Horses, and finally Divine Horses.
However, in order to receive such training, both rider and
horse must be a part of the Riders' Guild, and the appropriate
training costs must be paid. Once this is taken care of, it will
be assumed that the training happens during downtime
between adventures, and the mount will be promoted at the
beginning of the next session.
79
Even if a mount is promoted this way, the original Proprietary
Certificate for the mount will still be valid proof of ownership.
Promotion Expenses
Before Promotion After Promotion Cost (G)
Horse War Horse 7,500
War Horse Legendary Horse 15,000
Legendary Horse Divine Horse 40,000
Death of a Mount
Here, we will explain what to do if the mount dies.
Loss of a Mount
If a mount rented from the Riders' Guild is reported as
deceased, the rider who rented it will receive a Dishonor
Mark, showing that they were neglectful enough to allow a
mount to die. However, no other compensation is required.
If a mount that was owned by the rider dies, not only is the
mount lost but the corresponding Proprietary
Certificate/Sphere is also rendered useless and cannot be used
to create a contract with another mount.
Magitech-Type Mounts and Destruction
Magitech-type mounts are not considered to be either alive or
dead, even when functioning. If a Magitech-type mount's HP
reaches 0, however, it is considered to be immediately
destroyed. If the mount was rented from the Riders' Guild and
returned while destroyed, the rider will receive a Dishonor
Mark just the same as they would with other mounts.
80
Reviving Dead Mounts
As a general rule, a mount cannot be revived using the
"Resurrection" spell once dead. However, if both the GM and
PC can come to an agreement, "Resurrection" may just work
to resuscitate a dead mount. In doing so, the mount does
receive soulscars as a PC would (see CR I: p. 213-218).
Additionally, resurrecting a mount rented from the Riders'
Guild will still give the rider a Dishonor Mark upon return.
Mounts with Multiple Sections

Mounts with multiple sections do not die until either all
sections have their HP reduced to 0, or the main section has
its HP reduced to 0. If a non-main body section has its HP
reduced to 0 and it fails its Death Check, it will be treated as a
Disabled Section. Disabled Sections cannot recover HP, nor
have effects such as "Awaken" used on them. However, the
item "Secret Medicine of Section Regeneration" will restore the
Disabled Section to full functionality. Returning a rented
mount with Disabled Sections to the Riders' Guild will give the
rider a Dishonor Mark.
"Secret Medicine of Section Regeneration"
This magical tincture will restore all Disabled Sections (other
than the Main Section) to 1 HP and restore their functions.
The medicine takes 10 minutes to fully work.
It is possible to buy some Secret Medicine from the Riders'
Guild and use it on mounts just before returning them to the
Guild. While not the most ethical thing to do, it will allow the
return of a mount without giving the renter a Dishonor Mark
like returning a mount with Disabled Sections would.
Additionally, this medicine can be sold directly to the Guild,
81
and will almost always fetch straight market value due to the
potency of the medicine combined with how rare it is to find.
Dishonor Marks
If a mount rented from the Riders' Guild dies over the course
of an adventure, the rider does not get reimbursed for the
money they paid to rent the mount. Additionally, a Dishonor
Mark is not only attached to the rider's rental account but is
also spread to other Riders' Guild locations. Dishonor Marks
on a rental account show that the rider is reckless and has let
a mount die under their control before.
Disadvantages of Dishonor Marks

If a rider attempts to rent a mount from the Riders' Guild and
they have a Dishonor Mark on their account, then an
additional charge is applied before the rental can occur. This
additional fee is determined by not only the price of the Mount
Contract, but also which type of Dishonor Mark the
prospective rider has. For example, if the rider has the
Dishonor Mark of Horse Killer, then they will need to pay an
extra 125 Gamels in order to rent a horse, but an additional
500 gamels to rent a manabike.
Dishonor Marks
Type of Additional Fee Rep Required for
Mark Expunging
Horse Killer 0.5x 20
Abandoner 1x 30
Guild Ruiner 2x 50
Mount Killer 3x 70
Corpse Temporary 100
Rider Banishment
82
Increasing Dishonor
If a rider continues to have mounts die or be destroyed under
their watch, the type of Dishonor Mark will change, increasing
in severity. Not only will additional rental fees continue to be
applied, but the Reputation needed to get the Dishonor Mark
expunged increases. In increasing severity, the Marks go from
“Horse Killer” to "Abandoner", "Guild Ruiner", "Mount
Killer", and finally "Corpse Rider".
Temporary Banishment
A character who has earned the most disgraceful Dishonor
Mark, "Corpse Rider", will be banned temporarily from the
Riders' Guild. Not only will they not be able to rent or
purchase any mounts, but they are also prohibited from
purchasing any other items from the Guild as well.
Removing Dishonor Marks

Dishonor Marks are treated as titles offering 0 Reputation, but
they cannot be removed by the PC without permission from
the Riders' Guild. In order to expunge a Dishonor Mark, the
PC will have to pay Reputation. The PC may pay Reputation
at any time in order to remove the Dishonor Mark, but even
if the Reputation is paid immediately upon death of the
mount, the character still has to wait until the next session to
be able to rent another mount from the Guild.
Not all Dishonor Marks can be removed through payment of
Reputation. However, most Dishonor Marks can be
expunged, though the payment of Reputation should be kept
track of. For example, removing the most basic Dishonor
Mark, "Horse Killer" would be noted under Reputation
purchases as "Horse Killer (1st time, expunged)".
83
As with most Reputation payments, paying Reputation to
remove Dishonor Marks will result in a loss of Total
Reputation.
Removing Higher Dishonor Marks
If a character has a higher Dishonor Mark, then they will only
drop down to the next highest Dishonor Mark when paying
Reputation to expunge Dishonor Marks. For example, if a
character has the "Guild Ruiner" Dishonor Mark and pays the
appropriate Reputation to have that removed (in this case, 50
Reputation), then their Dishonor Mark will drop to
"Abandoner", rather than be removed entirely. If the character
has enough unspent Reputation, they can remove more than
one Dishonor Mark at a time. As with most Reputation
payments, paying Reputation to remove Dishonor Marks will
result in a loss of Total Reputation.
Re-Earning Dishonor Marks
Once a character has their Dishonor Marks fully expunged but
managed to have a rental mount killed or destroyed under
their watch again, they will earn the lowest Dishonor Mark,
"Horse Killer", again. To distinguish this from the last
Dishonor Mark, it should be noted as "Horse Killer (2nd
Time)".
84
GM Guide: Handling Mounts During Gameplay
As GM you must be aware of the extent to which the mounts
can go. For example, it's difficult, if not nearly impossible, to
have a mount in the narrow passageways of a barrow mound,
nor would it be socially acceptable to ride a mount into a high-
level aristocrat's mansion.
Players with the Rider class may feel that their choice of class
is wasted if they are constantly being placed in positions where
having a mount is unacceptable. In order to prevent such
feelings, it is suggested that the GM incorporate scenarios
where having a Rider in the party would be useful, and have
places designed for a Rider character to be able to mount up
and use their class to the fullest. As a player, it should be your
prerogative to actively devise ways to allow your Rider skills to
be useful, such as encouraging an enemy into a larger arena
where a mount would be usable.
If you have a small dungeon or one-shot session or special
scenario that doesn’t mount-friendly, talk to your players that
plan to use rider class, so everyone is on board.
85
Mounted Combat
Notes Regarding Mounts in Combat
When a rider brings a mount into combat, there are a few

changes to the flow of combat. This section will go into detail
regarding those changes.
Riding in Battle
When engaging in combat, both the mounted PC and mount
can actively participate. The mounted PC and mount are
considered to have the same coordinates, and the movement
type and speed used are those of the mount. While riding, the
mount moves and performs Major Actions as commanded by
the rider. As a general rule, if the mount is nor being ridden,
it will not move or take Major Actions on its own, but will act
on its own instincts.
Just like a monster with multiple sections, a mount and rider
can act independently from each other, and are targeted
separately for effects.
Mount Weaknesses
Just as with most monsters, mounts do have weaknesses,
though specifics depend upon the type of mount. If an enemy
spellcaster appears, it is a possibility that these weaknesses
might be exploited.
Unlike monsters, whose weaknesses are found through a
Monster Knowledge check, a mount's weaknesses are
86
discovered through a contested roll at the start of the battle.
The jockey's Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus is
compared to the character with the highest Magic Power
among the enemies, and if the jockey is successful, the mount's
weaknesses are unusable. However, if the monsters win, then
all enemies (not just the spellcaster) may take advantage of the
mount's weaknesses. This check is made during the "Begin
Combat" step.
Actions While Riding in Combat
Rider Behavior
The actions available for a rider to take in combat depends
upon the mount's movement. For example, if the mount takes
a Normal Move, then the rider is also limited to actions
available after a Normal Move, and so on.
Weapon Restrictions while Riding
As a general rule, Wrestling type weapons cannot be used
while mounted. Additionally, at least one hand must be used
to control the mount, so any two-handed weapon cannot be
used while mounted.
Mounting and Dismounting
In order for a character to mount up or dismount from a
mount during combat, if that character does not have any
levels in the Rider class, then they must mount up or dismount
as a Major Action. However, if they have any levels in the
Rider class, then these actions become Minor Actions. A
character may choose to mount up or dismount either before
or after the mount's movement, but can only choose to either
mount up or dismount once per turn.
87
Sealing and Unsealing Statues in Combat
For more details on sealing a mount into a statue, unsealing a
mount from a statue, or calling a mount from a magisphere,
see "Mount Statues" (see p. 78).
Behavior of Mounts in Combat

Mounts can, as their Major Action, use melee attacks and
special abilities appropriate to the combat at hand. If there are
any abilities that can be used as Minor Actions, they will be
noted as such. Any special abilities the mount has are
considered to be those able to be used after a Normal Move,
unless otherwise noted. Generally, anything a PC can do
during combat, a mount can also do. For example, attacking
with ranged weapons or magic are actions that would require
the mount to take a Limited Move.
Mounts with Multiple Sections
For mounts with multiple sections, only one section can be
commanded per turn, but that section is able to use both
Major and Minor Actions. It is possible to command different
sections over the course of multiple turns.
In order to command multiple sections in the same turn,
Stunts such as "Lion's Fury" or "Versatility" must be used.
Forcefully Dismounting
In situations where either the rider or mount is knocked
prone, the rider falls off the mount (see p. 70), and is forced
to stop riding. Similarly, if either the rider or the mount is
forced to move, the rider will become unmounted as they will
be at different coordinates after the forced movement. For
example, if only the rider (or mount) is forced to move, the
mount (or rider) will remain at its original coordinates, and the
88
rider will fall prone after moving. If both the rider and mount
are forced to move to the same coordinates, however, the rider
will remain mounted.
Notes on [Throw Attack] and Similar Effects
When using [Throw Attack], or any other effect that involves
counting the number of sections a character has, for
convenience the rider and mount are considered to have the
same number of sections as the mount normally + 1 (for the
rider).
When a Rider or Mount Loses Consciousness
If either the rider or mount loses consciousness (i.e. from
being put to sleep magically, having their HP drop to 0, etc),
the rider falls prone off of the mount (see p. 70). If the rider is
the one falling unconscious, they may not Tumble in order to
prevent falling damage.
Passengers
If a rider is forcefully dismounted and would fall prone, any
passengers that may be riding along will also fall prone off of
the mount.
89
Riders without Rider Class Levels
When a rider who does not have class levels in the Rider Class
participates in combat, the rider themselves are in a state
where both hands are unable to be used. Without a hand free
to guide them, mounts cannot perform Major Actions in
combat when mounted by such a rider.
Enemy Riders and Mounts
When an enemy with Rider levels appears, the rider and
mount are considered two different monsters for determining
Initiative, Reputation and Weakness. However, the handling
of [Throw Attack] and similar effects, as well as forced
dismounting, are treated the same as they would for a PC.
Also, defeating both a mount and rider will offer the chance
for loot from both enemies.

Supplemental Rules
New Skills
Detect
Calculation: Adventurer level + Intelligence modifier
Use Time: 10 seconds (1 round)
Effect: Allows you to see through illusions, detect lies, and see
through falsehoods.
Details: If you have a suspicion that something may not be
what it seems, the GM may allow you to try and Detect the
truth. If successful, you can:
• see through illusions (see CR II: p. 121-127) and

disguises (see CR I: p. 240-248);
• know if someone is trying to lie to you;
• notice inconsistencies in stories (such as someone
pretending to be an amnesiac, or a high-level
adventurer pretending to be a fledgeling);
• tell if a Barbarous is taking human form.
The target number for this skill is usually determined by the
GM. In the case of trying to see through a disguise, it is a
contested roll against the original Disguise check.
91
Using Detect in Play
If players go around trying to Detect everything they come
across, illusory or not, the progress of the game will grind to a
halt. However, never allowing players a chance to catch
disguised opponents is no fun either. The GM needs to weigh
the options of using the skill, and could only allow it where
there is an actual possibility of discovering falsehoods. At the
same time, if PCs never think to look for illusions and
disguises, or players blindly accept testimony that their
characters would notice as false, it may not be a bad idea for
the GM to call for a Detect check.
Discovering the Nature of Hidden Monsters

Some monsters, like mimics and gargoyles, are able to disguise
themselves using their special abilities to seem like they are
something else. The Detect skill can be used to uncover these
monsters while hiding, as well as other NPCs using magic to
hide their true appearance.
In these situations, the GM should make a Detect check in
secret for each of the PCs, allowing players whose characters
succeed to make Monster Knowledge checks after they
determine that something is wrong. The target number for
these Detect checks should be based on the information and
clues that the PCs have come across, being easier if PCs have
done their work and are attentive to their surroundings, or
having a higher target number if the characters are doing little
more than blindly flailing around. As a general rule, Detect
checks are something the GM calls for. No matter how
suspicious an NPC may act, Detect checks are not something
the PC can actively ask the GM to roll for.
92
Riding
Calculation: Rider level + Dexterity modifier
Use Time: Instant
Effect: Maintains control over a mount during difficult
circumstances.
Details: When riding a mount in difficult circumstances, such
as "riding across a log bridge", or "riding through deep mud in
a rainstorm", a successful check allows you to stay on your
mount. A failed check will halt movement, and in some
situations may even throw the rider off the mount.
Taking Minor Actions as Major Actions
In addition to such actions like mounting or dismounting a
mount, actions that can be done as Minor Actions may also be
performed as a character's Major Action for the turn. This
includes such actions as "Receiving a Weapon" or "Standing
from Prone". However, this does not allow for circumventing
a "once per turn" limitation on some Minor Actions by
performing them both as a Minor Action and a Major Action.
Also, some Minor Actions are specifically only able to be
performed as Minor Actions, and so cannot be performed as
a Major Action.
New Range/Area: Breakthrough
Area: Breakthrough
The user of an effect with Area: Breakthrough will move in a
straight line to any point within the range of that character's
Full Move, and will affect all characters within that path. While
93
using an effect with Area: Breakthrough, the user is unaffected
by movement obstruction, and will always perform a Full
Move (even if they don't move their full distance).
The specified end point must be visible before using an effect
with Area: Breakthrough, and such effects cannot be used
while already engaged in melee with enemies (see CR I: p. 191-
200). If the center of a battlefield is included in the path, the
effect is treated the same as an effect with Area: Line (see CR
I: p. 184-186).
Enhanced Racial Features (11th Level)
The following are further enhancements for racial features

once a character's Adventurer Level is 11th or higher.
Typically, there is one ability that is preferred to be used over
others due to ease of use, and so those will be listed below.
Valkyries will also have their 6th Level Enhanced Ability
shown below as well.
Use This as Option Rule
Please use this rule as an optional rule. If using these rules,
refer to Core Rulebook II for 6th level enhancements.
Race Human Strengthened [Sword's

Racial Feature Salvation/Change Fate]
Summary When using [Sword's Salvation/Change Fate], add +2 to the
result. However, this will not work if changing double 6's to
double 1's (which will also cause an automatic failure), or
vice versa. When using a Power Table, the maximum result
is 12.
94
Race Elf Strengthened Racial [Sword's Salvation/Gentle
Feature Water]
Summary By soaking your whole body in water for 1 hour, you can
recover HP and MP as though sleeping 6 hours. This can
be done once per day and does not interfere with normal
sleeping and recovery.
Race Dwarf Strengthened Racial [Sword's Salvation/Body

Feature of Flame]
Summary You now resist Energy-type damage from any source as
well. When dealt Energy-type damage, it is automatically
halved. If the source of the damage has Resist: Half, then a
successful Fortitude or Willpower check (as appropriate)
will reduce damage to 0 instead.
Race Tabbit Strengthened Racial Feature [Danger Sense]

Summary When making a Danger Sense check, add +4 to the result.
Race Runefolk Strengthened Racial [HP

Feature Conversion]
Summary [HP Conversion] can now be used twice per day.
Race Nightmare Strengthened Racial [Alternate

Feature Form]
Summary When in [Alternate Form], all Accuracy and Spellcasting

Curse and Disease damage are reduced by an additional -3
(to -6).
95

Racial Feature Salvation/Wings of the
Wind]
Summary Flying using [Sword's Salvation/Wings of the Wind] can last
up to 12 rounds per day.

Feature Interference]
Summary When fighting monsters with "Perception: Magic", you
receive a +1 bonus to Accuracy and Evasion.
Race Newman Strengthened Racial [Child of

Feature Magic]
Summary All Magic Power is increased by an additional +1 (to +2).
Race Valkyrie Strengthened Racial Blessing of the

Feature War-Maiden
Summary 6th Level: In addition to the bonus to Fortitude and
Willpower, increase the target's Defense by -3, and reduce
all magical damage received by -3.
11th Level: [Blessing of the War-Maiden] can now be used
twice per day.
Destroying Structures
During the session, there may arise a situation where the

players want to destroy some structure, like a box, building,
door, etc. The following section covers rules for such
situations.
Structure Data
Each structure has a thickness, Defense and HP. Depending
upon the materials and tools used, it may be impossible to
critically damage a structure, let alone actually do any damage
96
at all. Keep in mind that a structure's Defense is only half as
effective against magical damage.
Destroying Structures
Destroying structures is similar to attacking monsters, except
the structure cannot use any sort of Evasion to dodge attacks.
Essentially, this means that a character will hit a structure on
any roll except double 1's. However, a character can only
damage a structure once per attack per round (so [Dual
Technique], [Chain Attack], and other methods of attacking
multiple times allows multiple instances of damaging
structures). If a structure isn't taken down with one attack, it
can be attacked again until destroyed.
Poison-type, Curse-type, Disease-type, and Psychic-type
effects deal no damage to structures.
Structures and Magic in Combat

During combat, it's likely that a large area of effect will
inevitably include structures, such as walls and doors. In
situations like this, typically if there is no intention to destroy
the structures, they will not be damaged. The GM may change
this if they feel it necessary, though.
List of Structures
Information for typical structures is listed below, and should
be referred to when necessary. However, should the
circumstances warrant it, the GM may choose to increase the
thickness of a structure, increasing its HP accordingly.
Wooden Door (Thickness: 2 cm)

New Uses for Reputation
Here are some new things you can do with your reputation.
Personal Connection with NPCs

By using the Reputation currently available, it is possible to
create a personal bond between a PC and an NPC.
Connections are treated the same way as Renowned Items,
tracked as "Connection: **/(NPC's name)", where // is the
particular level of the bond. In order to form a connection with
an NPC, the PC must refer to the chart below and spend the
appropriate Reputation on that person in order to create a
bond.
If a PC is looking to bond with a particular character, they must
first create a connection by knowing each other, even if it's only
in passing. This is to prevent PCs from attempting to bond
with characters they haven't met just yet. Deeper connections
with that particular NPC are paid from the PC's Reputation
towards increasing that bond to the level of "Friend", and later,
"Confidant".
Aquaintance
The most basic of bonds, this shows that the NPC has
acknowledged the character as someone of note, and will
101
usually remember the character by name. There may be a
working relationship, where the NPC can trust the PC to take
care of some simple business or task, but that's about the
extent of the connection.
Friend
The PC and NPC have gotten to know each other, and will
often allow the other to call them by nicknames, or at least be
less formal with each other. The NPC and PC have a
relationship close enough to help the other out in case of dire
straits, but won't go so far as to put themselves out when doing
so. The NPC positively reacts to hearing about the PC, and
will often seek them out first if the strength of an adventurer is
needed to handle some business or other.
Confidant
The PC and NPC are very close, able to share deep feelings
both publicly and privately. Private worries and secrets are
freely discussed, as is otherwise confidential information. A
bond this deep is a relationship that has been tested and found
to be strong, even in the face of adversity. In case of a crisis,
the NPC will do everything in their power to help their friend
out, and will wholly trust the PC with their life if necessary.
Lost Connection
A connection becomes strained if there is action taken against
the NPC that is extremely detrimental, whether physically,
socially, financially, etc. A loss of trust and faith in the PC will
cause an existing connection to drop one level, alienating the
NPC and causing a loss of Total Reputation. However, this
does not apply if the PC was acting in good faith, and only
caused harm to their NPC friend through the whims of fate.
102
If the NPC dies, there is no lost connection between them and
the PC. However, at that point the PC cannot spend
Reputation and build a stronger connection.
Utilizing NPC Connections
If a PC and NPC become particularly close during the course
of a session, the GM may wish to grant the PC a connection
with that NPC. To do so, the appropriate Reputation should
also be given out, in order to allow the PC to pick up that
connection. If the NPC is one created by the GM, and not one
listed below, the GM should use the chart to determine an
appropriate amount of Reputation in order to connect with a
PC.
If the PC has a connection with an NPC, the GM should
actively try to bring the NPC into sessions at some point, in
order to reinforce the connection between the characters.
However, connections represent a relationship built on trust;
if the PC tries to use the NPC in a situation convenient for the
PC and not the NPC, or generally tries to take advantage of
the connection between the two characters, the GM should
warn the PC that they may be straining the connection,
possibly losing the connection if the behavior continues.

Classes
Riders, Mounts and Stunts
Rider Minor Class

A class designed to control mounts of various types, those with
Ricer class levels are colloquially known as jockeys. While not
a class designed to teach aptitude in combat with spells or steel,
they can still participate and use their mounts to turn the tides.
Jockeys become familiar with a number of different mounts,
and can control a mount with minimal movements.
Riders are proficient in:
• First Aid checks (see CR I: p. 117-137)

• Riding checks (see p. 93)
• Tumble checks (see CR I: p. 117-137)
• Cartography checks (see CR I: p. 117-137)
• Monster Knowledge checks (see CR I: p. 117-137) ※
※ Identifying monsters only; cannot determine Weaknesses
Uses of Rider Class

When riding a mount as a jockey, you can have the mount
move and act according to your orders. No vocalizations or
gestures are needed to issue such commands, however at least
one hand needs to be in control of the mount in order to
control and command the current mount. Controlling mount
is a Minor Action, and the jockey is able to have the mount
108
take its Move, perform a Major Action, and perform any
number of Minor Actions (within reason).
Acquiring Stunts
When a character becomes a Rider, they also learn how to get
the most out of any of the mounts they ride, whether animal,
vehicle or otherwise. When taking a level of the Rider class,
including the first, the character is able to choose a Stunt from
the Stunts available to them. Some stronger Stunts are
restricted by level, limiting their use to the more experienced
Riders. As a general rule, Stunts can only be performed while
riding a mount, are typically not magical effects, and do not
cost MP to perform.
How to Read Stunts
① Name
The name of the Stunt. The symbol in front of the name
shows the type of Action, if any, needed to perform the Stunt.
109
౦: These Stunts are always active.
☆: These Stunts are performed as Minor Actions. It may be

possible to perform multiple Minor Action Stunts at the same
time.
Ж: These Stunts are performed as Major Actions.
ᐁ: These Stunts automatically occur once the appropriate

conditions are met.
② Prerequisites
A list of the Stunts needed to be learned beforehand, if any.
③ Compatible
The types of mounts that are able to perform the Stunt in
question.
④ Area
The area of the mount which is actually performing the Stunt
and receiving the benefit thereof.
None: This Stunt has no effect on the mount, and instead
affects the Rider and passengers.
Main: This Stunt only affects the Main Section of the mount
if the mount has multiple Sections.
All: This Stunt affects the entirety of the mount.
⑤ Summary
A quick overview of the Stunt and its effects.
110
⑥ Effect
Detailed descriptions of the Stunt and its effects. For Stunts
that refer to stats such as "Rider Class Level" or "Intelligence
Bonus" (for example), refer to the jockey's stats.
List of Stunts
1st Level Rider Required
☆ Intimidation
Prer. None Comp. Animals, Mythical Beasts Area Main
Sum. -1 on certain checks
The mount states at a target in the same battlefield with lethal
intent, intimidating and frightening them. A contested roll is
made between the rider's Rider Class Level + Spirit Bonus
against the target's Willpower. If the Stunt is successful, the
Eff. target receives a -1 penalty to Accuracy, Spellcasting and any
checks made for Major Action Unique Skills. This is a Psychic-
type effect and can only be performed once every 10 seconds
(1 round).
Using this Stunt causes the mount to spend 5 MP.
౦ Remote Command
Prer. None Comp. Animals, Mythical Beasts Area All
Sum. Command a mount from up to 30m away
With this Stunt, the jockey can be up to 30m away and issue
commands to their mount. A mount that is either an Animal or
a Mythical Beast is able to hear their jockey and perform the
Eff. command to the best of their abilities. The mount can also
perform Stunts, and the Area of those Stunts can be shifted to
either Main or All as the jockey sees fit.
This Stunt has no effect while the jockey is riding a mount.
111
౦ Enhance Mount
Animals, Mythical Main or
Prer. None Comp. Area
Beasts, Magitech All
Sum. Strengthens the mount temporarily
This Stunt tightens the control the Rider has over the mount,
increasing the mount's Accuracy and Evasion by +1. If the
Eff. mount has multiple Sections, then only the Main Section
receives such a bonus; if the mount has no sections at all, then
the whole mount will be affected.
ᐁ Mount's Devotion
Animals, Mythical
Prer. None Comp. Area Main
Beasts
Sum. If jockey would fall to 0 HP or lower, mount takes hit instead
When being ridden by a jockey at the same coordinates, if the
jockey would receive damage that would reduce them to 0 HP
or lower, the mount may take the damage instead. After
determining the total damage that would be dealt to the jockey,
Eff.
reduce the mount's HP by that much instead. If a mount has
multiple sections, only the Main Section can be a substitute in
this way.
This Stunt can only be used once per battle.
౦ Attack Obstruction
Animals, Mythical
Prer. None Comp. Area None
Beasts, Magitech
Sum. Rider/Passenger Evasion +1
The mount is maneuvered in such ways as to provide the rider

Animals, Mythical
Beasts
Sum. Mount can use Track, Danger Sense and Search
The jockey can command the mount to attempt to use the
Track, Danger Sense and/or Search skills. These skills are
resolved using Rider class level + Intelligence bonus and utilize
Eff.
the enhanced senses of the mount in order to find what the rider
is looking for. In order to make a skill check, the rider must be
dismounted and holding the reins of the mount.
౦ Tandem
Animals, Mythical
Beasts, Magitech
Sum. Passengers may perform Actions at disadvantage
By shifting their weight and supporting themselves with one
arm, passengers may perform Major and Minor Actions while

riding along with the jockey. However, they do receive a -2
penalty to all Actions when doing so.
113
☆ Charge
Animals, Mythical
Prer. None Comp. Area All
Beasts, Magitech
Sum. Increase damage by attacking after movement
Before moving, the jockey can declare a Charge. In doing so,
the mount takes a Normal Move, and the first melee attack
made this turn by either the jockey or mount deals an extra +1
damage per 5m moved (rounded up). The distance moved is
Eff. measured by the shortest path between the mount's starting
point and the attack target, regardless of the actual route taken.
If the attack misses, the damage bonus is lost.
If the mount cannot take a Normal Move, this Stunt cannot be
used.
౦ HP Enhancement
Animals, Mythical Beasts,

the beginning of the next turn.
This Stunt can only be used once per battle.
114
☆ Lion's Fury
Animals, Mythical
Beasts, Magitech
Sum. Take up to two Major Actions
If the mount has multiple sections, this Stunt can be used to give
up to two of those sections a Major Action during the mount's
Eff. turn. Any section that takes a Major Action with this Stunt
receives a -2 penalty to their Evasion until the beginning of the
next turn.
౦ Riding as One
Animals, Mythical
Beasts, Magitech
Sum. Ride a mount using no hands
With training, the jockey can control the mount using only
Eff. commands and by shifting their weight. This allows the jockey
to ride while having both hands free to perform Actions with.
౦ Improved Elevated Attack

Mount's Full Move" and "Area: Breakthrough" (see p. 93).
Accuracy is rolled for each attack separately.
Ж Magic Command
Animals, Mythical
Beasts
Sum. Mount can use magic
If the mount is one that can use magic spells, this Stunt allows
the jockey to command the mount to cast a spell as a Major
Eff. Action. The mount can cast spells as appropriate, such as being
able to ignore metal armor penalties, the presence of the jockey,
language barriers, etc.
116
౦ Improved HP Enhancement
HP Animals, Mythical
Prer. Comp. Area All
Enhancement Beasts, Magitech
Sum. Mount Max HP additional +10 (total +20)
Increase the Maximum HP of all sections of the mount by an
Eff.
additional +10, to a total of +20.
౦ MP Transfer
Animals, Mythical
Beasts
Sum. Jockey can use Mount's MP
With this Stunt, the jockey is able to use the MP of the mount
currently being ridden. This Stunt is treated the same as if the
jockey were using MP from a Mako Stone (though this Stunt
cannot also be combined with the use of a Mako Stone when
Eff.
spending MP). The amount of MP that can be used in this
manner is equal to the character's Rider class levels, and MP
can only be transferred from the Main Section (if the mount has
multiple sections).

How to Read Mount Data
① Name
The name of the mount. If there is a reference page, that page
shows data for the mount as a monster.
② Price
How much (in Gamels) it takes to acquire the mount. The first
number is the price for purchasing the mount outright, while
the second price is the cost for a Proprietary Certificate or
Proprietary Sphere (see p. 76). If the mount has multiple
sections (in this book, only Wyvern, Draconet and Lesser
121
Dragon), the cost for one dose of the "Secret Medicine of
Section Regeneration" is listed after those prices.
③ Mount Data
Appropriate Level: The range of levels possible for the mount.
Intelligence: The Intelligence of the mount. As a general rule,
as long as a jockey can give instructions, the mount will act
according to those instructions, but will revert to instincts when
not commanded.
Perception: The means of perception the mount has available.
122
Language: The languages the mount can speak. If the jockey
and mount can speak the same language, communication
between the two is possible.
Reputation and Weak Points: How well known the type of
mount is, as well as any weaknesses the mount has (see p. 86).
Movement Speed: How fast the mount moves.
Mount Level: The statistics for the mount at each possible
level. The level referenced in combat will be the same as the
jockey's Adventurer Level.
④ Sections/Main Section
If a mount has multiple sections, the number of sections is
listed, with a Main Section specifically noted (see CR II: p.
290-292).
⑤ Special Abilities
All special abilities of the mount are noted here. Unless
specifically noted, a special ability can be used after the mount
has taken a Normal Move. Also, if the special ability mentions
Rider class level or Intelligence Bonus, the jockey's stats are
used unless mentioned otherwise.
If the special ability has any Stunt prerequisites, they will be
mentioned here. Also, if a special ability is enhanced by a Stunt
known by the jockey, it will also be mentioned here.

useless on land, and even transporting a dolphin mount overland
is difficult. This is why dolphins are typically only seen available at
Riders' Guilds near the seaside.

radius area, dealing "Power 20 + Rider Class Level + Intelligence

one of Fire, Water/Ice, Lightning or Poison, and can be chosen
upon rental or purchase of the mount. This ability cannot be used
in consecutive rounds.

and this attack cannot be used in consecutive rounds.
Description
Often thought of as a "flying dragon", a Wyvern is a mount known
for their ferocity. However, because they have been trained by the
Riders' Guild from the time it hatched from an egg, it will provide
unwavering service to their jockeys. The different types of
Wyverns available vary from city to city, and not every branch of
the Riders' Guild will have Wyverns available.

Description
An incredibly young dragon, difficult to ride due to its fiery
temperament. Only very skilled jockeys can attempt to ride one
of these rare mounts, and only a few branches of the Riders' Guild
even have a Draconet available. However, they are smart enough
to communicate with the jockey, assuming a common language is
used.

passenger is a Major Action, but dismounting is only a Minor
Action.

by either of the Wings that used this ability this turn receives a -3
penalty.
Description
This dragon has just recently grown from a Draconet but is still
younger than 500 years old. The few jockeys who can tame these
massive beasts are called "Dragoons", and the combined combat
power is simply unmatched. Whole battlefields can be scorched
with a minimum of effort, and even entire counties will respect
dragoons and their mounts.
136
Magitech
Magitech-type mounts differ from other mounts in that they
have no instincts to run off of and are treated as though they
were Constructs. Additionally, Magitech-type mounts are
immune to Poison-type, Disease-type and Psychic-type effects
and damage.

they are also stronger than a living mount of the same level. An

Description
A Magitech-type mount on the market at the Riders' Guild, these
machines can be safely stored inside manaspheres and carried
from place to place without much hassle. The standard manabike
created by the Artificer's "Automobile" spell works the same as
these mounts, only it doesn't require any MP to be spent in order

Summary Era Al Menas
robots or magical treasure
A popular toy made during the Al Menas period; it was
originally used to test one's luck. However, due to their
inherent danger, they were often discarded until only a
few remain in functional shape. They are quite useful for
trapping and protecting dungeons, however.
Inside the rather ordinary-looking chest is either a
magitech-powered automaton or some amount of
money, though the contents are only known once the
Effect box is opened. Despite the small interior of the chest,
the automatons that may spring out are full-size, and
having them fit back into the chest is impossible.
The chart below shows the contents in an easy-to-
randomize format. If an automaton does end up coming
out of the box, it will attack the person opening the lid.
Regardless of the contents, however, once opened the
chest is just an ordinary treasure chest.

Faith and Divine Power
The strength of the gods' power that they can exert on Raxia is
directly proportional to the number of followers they have.
Therefore, in regions where there are few followers of a
particular god, the priesthood of that god also weakens.
Conversely, in regions where a god is worshipped by the
general masses, the priesthood is quite powerful. However, the
exact relationship between the number of followers a god has
in a region and their power has not been fully determined.
What is known is that temples, monuments, and even old
totems dedicated to a god will increase their influence, as well
the number of believers in that particular region. It is assumed
that the spiritual power that was poured into these physical
vessels, combined with the power of prayer from followers,
that allow a god to retain their power in a given area. Priests
performing miracles in areas will also create believers in that
particular god, giving rise to a sect of that god in the area,
allowing other priests to perform more powerful miracles, etc.
A Holy Seal, a physical affirmation of the god's blessing upon
a priest, is required in order to perform Priest spells.
Ancient Gods
The most venerable of the gods, such as Lyphos and Tidan,

are well-known anywhere on Raxia, with a large number of
followers. Because of this, their power will not decrease
anywhere in Raxia. At the same time, though, these ancient
221
gods cannot devote as much time and effort to each individual
priest, and so it is unlikely that calling on them will give a direct
revelation to one of their priests.
Major and Minor Gods
Major gods, such as Zaiya and Lu Lode, are well known

throughout the entirety of a continent, and will retain power in
that area. However, when traveling to a faraway area, whether
by land or by sea, the sphere of influence those gods have
diminishes, and it will be unlikely that inhabitants of the new
region have heard of these distant gods.
Minor gods, such as Luferia, aren't even as lucky as that. Being
gods that have recently ascended to godhood, they have not
established a base of followers too far from their own region.
When moving away from that region, priests of this god will
find it harder to call upon their god in times of need.
Priest spells of major gods will cost an additional +1 MP when
traveling outside of the continent of their god's influence.
However, Priest spells of minor gods increases their costs by
+2 MP when traveling out of the region of their god's influence.
This increase in MP consumption does not change depending
upon exactly how far away the Priest travels.
For example, the minor god Lills is worshipped in the Zalts
region but is rarely worshipped in the Agia region in the north
and the Liezen region in the south. Thus, Priests of Lills have
their spells' MP costs increased by +2 when adventuring
outside of the Zalts region.
222
However, the god Zaiya is known throughout the entirety of
the Terastier continent but is only starting to make a foothold
in the continent of Razeldawn to the north. While in Terastier,
Zaiyan Priests cast spells as normal, but when adventuring in
Razeldawn, their Priest spells cost an additional +1 MP to cast.
Increasing a God's Area of Influence

A Priest can consecrate ground in the name of their god in
order to bring MP costs back into line. By spending 1,000G
and 3 days, the Priest can consecrate a 1km patch of land in
the name of their god, allowing them to cast their spells without
any extra MP consumption.
Additionally, if a Priest can perform missionary services and
convert even 1/200th of a city's population (i.e., 10 people out
of a city of 2,000) to their god, they can ignore the increased
MP consumption while adventuring within that city. These
people can already be following a god of their own or be non-
religious. So long as they know the existence of a god, are
respectful of that god, and attend temple services at least once
a week, that person can be considered a believer. However,
despite how much they may respect the gods, Tabbits and
Runefolk can never be considered a believer.
Aid from a Minor God
While minor gods cannot exert influence over much more

than a small area, they are able to appear to mortals much
more often than older gods. Occasionally, they will appear
directly as a divine being, or will disguise themselves in mortal
form in order to contact the PCs. Either way, the GM may not
only use the god as a means to offer up information and use a
Priest character as an oracle but can also use the god as a
223
patron for the PCs' adventuring party, hiring the players to
help the god out where they cannot hold influence.
Apotheosis
Adventurers trying to reach 15th level will eventually become

aware of a path to becoming a god. Through a number of
adventures, the players must have overcome events that
threatened the entirety of Raxia, or maybe have even fought
against a god indirectly. In doing so, they have become
touched by the will of the gods.
Adventurers who reach 15th level have attained the maximum
of human growth and are quite rare in Raxia. Only by taking a
step towards the divine, whether by being sponsored by a god,
or overthrowing one with violence, can a character advance
beyond 15th level. It is said that one takes the first step on
becoming a god by grasping the First Sword, Lumiere, after
reaching the height of their progress. There are also stories of
those who had been particularly blessed by the gods and were
allowed to touch Lumiere before even reaching 15th level,
though the truth of the matter remains a mystery.
224
Magitech of Al Menas
300 years ago, the Al Menas civilization fell.

In part due to the Great Catastrophe, many great magitech
works and knowledge regarding the creation of such were lost
to the widespread destruction. What follows is what is
currently known about magitech on Terastier.
Airship Magicores
Airships, while still incredibly rare, have been rebuilt from the
remains of older Al Menas airships. Despite their rarity, these
airships represent a significant amount of power and money to
the general public, as only the wealthy and powerful are able
to put together the expeditions to find and recover airship
wreckages. The manufacturing method of the magicores that
power these flying marvels has been lost, so most of the
expeditions are to find older wrecks, recover the magicore if it
is still there, then rebuild a hull around the magicore to create
a new airship.
What is known about the magicores is that they are mostly
made of a metal called "manatite", an ore in which it appears
that mana itself has crystallized inside the metal, then both
crystal and metal have been compressed under immense
pressure. Manatite is a rather hard metal, harder than steel, yet
almost weightless. For obvious reasons, manatite is an
excellent conductor of magical energy, and it also has the fairly
unique property of repelling gravity.
225
A magicore itself is a small sphere or cylinder, little more than
the size of an adult's hand, with a number of thin plates of high
purity manatite layered inside. These plates are skillfully
designed to interfere with each other's magical fields in such a
way as to generate an incredible amount of lift.
Currently, the methodology and skill of smelting manatite has
been lost, and if there were any machines designed to help in
this process, they have been either destroyed by the Barbarous
or lost to time. Because of this impossibility to recreate such
high purity manatite in the current day, functioning magicores
have been known to fetch prices of 1 million Gamels, and even
higher, to the right buyer.
Swords of Protection
Many Swords of Protection were created during the Al Menas

period, though at that time they seemed more like semi-
permanent magical items. However, because of the various
raids of the Barbarous, quite a few of these Swords have been
destroyed, to the point where the current number of known
Swords of Protection cannot feasibly protect the entirety of the
civilized races. To make matters worse, the protection granted
by these Swords is waning, and needs to be maintained
through the collection and usage of Sword Shards.
Barrier Maintenance Ritual
In many cities and larger towns, with the assistance of both the
temples as well as the Institute of Magitechnology, rituals are
held just about once each week in order to maintain the
protective barrier granted through the Swords of Protection.
226
In most cases, this ritual is a day's work, lasting from dawn to
dusk. Certain procedures need to be followed, rituals and
spells cast in particular orders, and crushed Sword Shards
applied to the Swords of Protection in a specific manner.
During this ritual, the Sword will lose all power to drive off the
Barbarous and undead. For cities with multiple Swords of
Protection, these rituals are staggered over a couple of days,
rotating from one sword to another, so as to not put the entire
city at risk of an attack. Smaller towns, with but a single Sword
of Protection, are not as lucky.
Additionally, without enough Sword Shards to fuel the ritual,
the protection provided may cease suddenly during the week.
There are more than enough examples of border town ruins,
places where the protection from the Swords ran out too early
and the Barbarous overwhelmed the locals.
Distribution of Swords of Protection
No doubt these Swords of Protection are quite useful in
civilized lands, but they can also be considered archaeological
treasures as well, and as such will tend to congregate around
cities and areas where there are large communities that can
deal with archaeology and the treasures found. Thus, larger
cities will tend to have one of these Swords per 2,000
permanent residents, where smaller towns and villages will
have 1 Sword for every 10,000 residents (or more). Almost
ironically, the larger the city, the more protection it will have
between walls, guards, and such, and the less protection it will
need from a recovered Sword. Each sword also varies in power
somewhat, but in general each ritual to restore a Sword of
Protection will erect a barrier about 1km in diameter, which
will diminish over the course of the week as the Sword slowly
loses power.
227
Barrier Resistance
Passed down among the Barbarous are items that allow them
to bypass the barrier from a Sword of Protection. Such items
are quite rare and valuable, and so taking even one of these
into battle is a show of power from the Barbarous that does so.
Often taking the form of a ring, bracelet, or other armband,
these items block the protection from a Sword of Protection
for a limited time, usually around an hour or so before losing
all durability and crumbling away. Occasionally, a leader of a
large band of Barbarous will have multiple bands and will be
able to not only break through the protective barrier but stay
within the radius of the Sword of Protection for a significant
period of time, much longer than the usual hour or so. This is
often seen as a sign of a much larger Barbarous invasion
looming.
Teleporters
One of the most amazing ways the Al Menas society was

prospering was through the various methods of transportation.
Various vehicles and motorbikes took to the ground, fleets of
boats sailed across the waters of Raxia, and airships flew
through the clear skies.
And the most powerful of these was the teleporter.
A teleporter required a massive location specifically designed
for its use, allowing anything and anyone to be moved across
the planet instantly. These teleporters allowed massive
quantities of food, materials, and workers to travel to the exact
location where they were needed in order to keep everything
maintained. During the heyday of the Al Menas civilization,
these teleporters were even used by civilians, allowing
228
someone to travel halfway across the planet to another of a
number of facilities without a second thought.
Nowadays, there are a few teleports still able to be used, but
nothing near to the extent during the Al Menas days. A
massive magical circle inside of a closed room is a fairly good
indicator of an old teleporter, though activation may be locked
behind old passwords and lost rituals. Even then, teleports will
fail to work if even one side is unsafe, though as time has
continued on these failsafe’s may not always function as
intended. Teleporter facilities were undoubtedly important
facilities, and many may still be heavily guarded by magitech
automatons.
229
Northern Terastier
On the northern end of the Terastier continent, there are

three major humanoid regions, each with their own power
base: Zalts, Liezen, and Dagnia. Each region has a minimum
level of security, and the general public will definitely take
advantage of that, but the various Barbarous are always on the
outskirts of such areas, waiting to pick off any they can, seeing
humanoids as weak and vulnerable. Conversely, this is a
wonderful place for one to take up adventuring in the
wilderness, hunting for treasures and driving back the
Barbarous.
Climate
The weather in the northern regions is very clearly divided into
the four seasons, though on the average the temperature is on
the warmer side. Winters are often not very cold, and snow
really only shows up in the southern mountains before quickly
melting away. On the contrary, summers will be fairly hot,
though the humidity isn't high enough to be oppressive. If one
sits in the shade, it will often be enough to relax comfortably
on a summer's day.
Terrain
The land is quite rugged, with large forests and quite a few
rivers coming down out of the mountains, making the region
a great place for humans to live. At the same time, because of
the fertile land and abundance of natural resources, Barbarous
are also after control over the land, and are willing to drive out
anyone in their way.
230
The southern reaches of the region are covered by the Rudea
Mountains, which are used as a launching point for the
Barbarous to attack the surrounding areas. There are also
large Barbarous bases in the Dagnia area, and conflict is quite
common throughout.
Ruins
Ruins of the older days can be seen scattered throughout
Terastier, hollow reminders as to what can happen should the
Barbarous be unopposed. At the same time, these ruins can
also hold remnants of the past, relics and treasures waiting to
be found by courageous adventurers.
The Liezen Region
Located inland in the northern part of the Terastieran

continent, the Liezen region is protected to its south by the
Rudea Mountains, and to the west by the vast Tilla Forest.
These natural barriers protect the inhabitants from the
Barbarous, though the region itself isn't largely populated.
There is some trade with Zalts to the north, and Dagnia to the
east, but the current trade routes aren't the safest routes, so
only well-protected caravans will travel throughout Liezen.
The southern side of the Rudea Mountains is also a large
Barbarous gathering ground, and a number of Barbarous
incursions begin as they pour out of the mountains into lower
Liezen. The southern kingdoms of Duball and Regallia have
prepared for such incursions, and not only have highly trained
guards and soldiers at the ready, but also have a number of
skilled adventurers on call as well.
231
Popular gods worshipped in this region include Kilhia and 232
Zaiya, drawing followers from the soldiers and tacticians
protecting the region from the Barbarous. Tidan, Grendal,
and even Nilda also find followers among the general
populace, as light, heat and clothing are staples for human
society. Additionally, Asteria is another popular god to follow
in the region, though whether that's less to do with her
particular sphere of influence and more to do with protection
against the fey in the Tilla Forest is up for debate.
"Fairy Land" Alphort Kingdom
A small kingdom located in the northwest of Liezen, it is on
the edge of the Tilla Forest and is quite well known for its
forestry and lumber industry. Currently governed by Queen
Belanger Castagniers (37 years old), and about 50,000 people
live in the capital Domeni, a large number of them elves.
Alphort is known as a prime place to study Fairy magic, due
to its close proximity to such a large forest, as well as much of
the cityscape taking advantage of the natural surroundings.
Many of the buildings are constructed around the trunks of
ancient trees, and a number of streams and small rivers flow
throughout alongside the roadways. Even without an interest
in Fairy magic, it is worthwhile to take a trip out to see such a
large city built to be in harmony with nature.
Animal husbandry and beast capturing is also a fairly lucrative
industry as well, considering how close Alphort is to the Tilla
Forest. These animals, once tamed, are often used in
cultivating the land, pulling caravans, and even military service.
There is some trade with the Free Cities of the Zalts region,
and every so often whole caravans of tamed animals can be
seen heading north from Alphort.
233
Around the time of the Great Catastrophe, the nearby land
was in constant turmoil, conflict erupting at a moment's notice
between the Barbarous and Alphort. However, in part due to
the taming and usage of animals in the military, it has been
fairly peaceful and prosperous as of late. There is still a
number of soldiers who ride tamed beasts into battle, ready to
protect the kingdom, if necessary, though military spending
has decreased in recent years.
Queen Castagniers is well known among the fairies and is
more than happy to accommodate them in the court, however,
politics do not necessarily seem to be her strong suit.
Thankfully, both the Chancellor and Minister have been
competent enough to keep the kingdom functioning, and
there are no major complains with regards to national affairs.
That being said, there are rumors that the Queen is buying
jewels from the fairies using military money, and the citizens
are worried as to what may happen were a large-scale
Barbarous attack to break out.
"Dragon Citadel" Duball Kingdom
The largest kingdom in the region, Duball is in the southwest
of Liezen. Ruled by King Bernard Falk (53 years old), the city
of Duball holds around 70,000 inhabitants. Known for having
a strong army, King Falk has taken the time to fortify many of
the cities Duball protects due to the constant threat of
Barbarous invasion, making the kingdom seem like a series of
interconnected castles.
However, Duball gets its name from the Dragon Knights, a
prestigious title granted only to those strong enough and
worthy enough to take it. Only a Dragon Knight can be king,
and there are but five in the entirety of the kingdom, including
King Falk. Each Dragon Knight has control over both a
234
Draconet and a Lesser Dragon, and even one Dragon Knight
taking their mounts out to a battle is on par with most other
kingdoms' entire armies. However, the king's dragon,
Grundart, is over 500 years old, and is stronger than even a
Lesser Dragon in combat power, though he rarely leaves his
roost at the royal palace.
Roger Falk, the founding king who built the kingdom shortly
after the Great Catastrophe and King Falk's ancestor, made an
agreement with the Great Dragon of the Rudea Mountains,
Ardeltaid, in order to gain aid in fighting against the
Barbarous. This act was what had given rise to the Dragon
Knight, and in honoring the agreement with Ardeltaid, Duball
has become a fearsome military force against the constant
Barbarous incursions.
To this day, aspiring knights are sent to Ardeltaid in an attempt
to overcome numerous trials and become another Dragon
Knight, gifted with Ardeltaid's own eggs to raise. Those who
are found unworthy of the title may yet still serve the kingdom,
though riding Wyverns instead of Dragons. However, these
knights are not ridiculed or looked down upon, as the trials to
become a Dragon Knight are quite arduous indeed, and even
making the attempt is something to be proud of.
Even with such a strong army at his command, King Falk must
still deal with no end of Barbarous invasions. While the
kingdom's knights help drive back many of these attempts, it
is only with the aid of adventurers that Duball is able to repel
the Barbarous fully.
"Legacy of the Magical King" Miraboa Kingdom
The smallest kingdom in the Liezen region, the kingdom of
Miraboa lies in the northeast, with approximately 20,000
235
inhabitants calling the kingdom home. The current king,
Ixelles Jennebert (43 years old), claims to be the descendant
of the legendary "Magic King" of the Durandal.
The kingdom itself is built around a large crack in the earth
created during the Great Catastrophe, commonly called the
"Well of Wisdom". This name came from the large amount of
ancient magical ruins uncovered by the earth cracking, and a
nation came to be established around the various camps and
buildings that had sprung up for excavation and research.
Because of this, magical research is incredibly popular in the
kingdom, and a number of universities and magical research
towers dot the kingdom.
This pursuit of knowledge has drawn the attention of many
tabbits over the course of their life, and to this day Miraboa
has a significant number of tabbits as citizens. Tabbits are
known for wandering and learning as they travel, so for a
significant number of their race to settle down and devote time
to studying the ruins is unusual, to say the least.
The first king, Harold Jennebert, established a formal School
of Magic after taking the throne, and encouraged the growth
of new magicians in the area. King Jennebert was also quite
active in excavating the ruins and uncovering a number of
magical items and artifacts and took the time to learn of the
various adventurers and scholars who came to challenge the
ruins alongside him.
King Ixelles has inherited his father's wishes and is constantly
promoting the establishment of magical schools and
supporting research of the ruins in hopes of uncovering some
valuable information that has been previously lost due the
either the ravages of time, or the destruction of knowledge at
the hands of the Barbarous.
236
Recently, though, King Jennebert has shut down sections of
the ruins, and claims that "something dangerous has been
found" or that the crown is "monopolizing valuable knowledge"
have begun to fly left and right. Regardless of the truth of the
matter, there are still new adventurers and scholars drawn to
the kingdom because of the ruins, and veteran explorers just
see the restricted area as yet another obstacle to be overcome.
"Iron Wall Fortress" Kingdom of Regallia
The Kingdom of Regallia is found in the southeastern part of
the Liezen region, its five fortresses tucked in a valley between
the Rudea and Drackea Mountains. Also known as the "Five-
Layered Shield", this heavily fortified kingdom is currently
ruled by King Xavier Boaguel (29 years old).
The capital of Regallia, the fortress city of Mantoise, is home
to around 40,000 inhabitants, with each other city holding
anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 civilians on top of a number of
soldiers. There are a significant number of dwarves who call
Regallia home and are often seen training to repel any
Barbarous invasions that may arise.
Due to the large number of Barbarous coming out of the
south, the southernmost city, Bourde, was built to be the most
fortified of the five cities, and it's 1,000 soldiers have never let
a Barbarous invasion get past them to this day. However, the
other cities do not let Bourde's successes allow them to grow
complacent. The other cities of Ritel (with 200 active soldiers),
Dordea (100 soldiers), Mantoise (700 soldiers) and Hyurte
(100 soldiers) have also seen their fair share of military service
to the kingdom.
Among the five cities, Dordea is best known for their soldiers
being the elite out of all serving in Regallia. Being a fortress
237
city with a high dwarven population, many of the Dordean
soldiers end up being dwarves striving to live up to the
reputation their predecessors earned. With the Rudea
Mountains close by, mining operations are also big business in
Dordea, drawing in not only a number of dwarves looking to
mine the mountains out, but also a number of smiths, looking
to hone their craft while forging arms and armor for the
soldiers. Because of these factors, Dordea is currently home
to about 2,000 dwarves, though that number is continuing to
rise.
Overall, Regallia is a very brave and physical kingdom, albeit
with little in the way of magical studies. However, the study of
magitech uncovered by the mining operations, as well as
martial strategies and techniques, more than makes up for any
magical shortcomings.
"Dragonhome" Rudea Mountains
Also known as the "Dragon King Mountains", the Rudea
mountain range is home to a large number of dragons. With
a number of sheer cliffs, many peaks rise well over 3,000m
above sea level, with more than a few having never had a
humanoid set foot on them. Only the kingdom of Duball
regularly has adventurers make their way into the mountains,
and even those brave souls often stick to the well-tread paths.
However, there are many untouched ruins, some rumored to
go as far back as the Durandal era, with a significant number
supposed to have fallen underground due to the numerous
upheavals. The great dragon, Ardeltaid, known for his dealing
with the Duball Kingdom, was said to have been cursed by a
powerful wizard from the Durandal era, and part of the pact
that King Roger Falk made was to figure out what the curse
was and to break it.
238
239
240
Even without dealing with Ardeltaid and their brood, a
significant number of dragons call the Rudea Mountains
home. As another part of the pack between Ardeltaid and
Falk, dragons will leave humans alone unless they interfere
with the hunt for food, or humans encroach into nesting areas
and ruin their homes. Because of this, the true number of
dragons in the region is much larger than reports will say,
though dragon encounters remain a rarity.
However, Barbarous have begun to be more active in the
mountains, often trying to invade the various kingdoms of the
Liezen region and gain a foothold outside of the mountains. A
number of foreign adventurers have also been active in the
mountains, driven by the thought of raiding dragon nests for
eggs to sell on the black market. These incidents have begun
to erode the trust between humans and dragons, though what
will come of this remains to be seen.
"Beast's Paradise" Tilla, the Sea of Trees
A vast forest that comprises most of the western border of the
Liezen region, massive enough to be called the "Sea of Trees",
the Tilla forest is an ancient home to equally massive flora and
fauna. Each of these massive beasts have their own territory,
and will attack mercilessly to defend it from intruders, whether
another beast or an adventuring party. There is also an
enormous plateau that can be seen sticking above the treetops,
though it is said to be home to a large colony of roc birds.
There are theories that the Al Menas created massive forests
like the Tilla in order to store large animals there, both for
preservation as well as defense of their own lands, but there is
thus far no evidence to support these theories.
Despite all of the dangers, there are still ruins from the Al
Menas civilization buried in the overgrowth, and so
241
adventurers will often try to delve into the forest to find these
secrets. There are some guides in the Kingdom of Alphort,
though many of these will not go very far into the forest due to
the dangers.
Well of Wisdom
The so-called "Well of Wisdom" is a massive fissure found in
the Miraboa Kingdom. Buried within are massive ruins dating
back at least to the times of the Durandal, and while there have
been significant excavations and recoveries of magical items, it
is rumored that what has been explored is not even 10% of the
entirety of what is buried.
In addition to the numerous archaeological finds and magical
items, these ruins also host a number of deadly traps, making
it so even veteran explorers are wary of delving too deep.
There are also stories of an increased number of encounters
with various Daemons, just waiting to take advantage of foolish
adventurers exploring too far in order to be free from their
imprisonment.
There have been some arguments as to whether or not this
fissure is really just a massive Sword Labyrinth...
Forest Of Unearthly Mist
A vast forest that stretched between the Liezen and Dagnia
regions, it is always covered in a dense fog, making normal
passage impossible. Only by following the two rivers that flow
through the forest are the surest way to pass, and even then,
there's often deadly animals and plants waiting for
unsuspecting travelers.
There is a legend of young Yggdrasil trees deep within the
forest, occasionally able to be seen with a telescope from far
242
outside the forest. However, the dense fog makes such
observations questionable at best, and to date there have not
been any adventurers who have been able to verify the
presence of such trees and return safely.
"Murderous Waterside" Zoma Marsh
The Zoma Marsh is a large wetland that extends north of the
Forest Of Unearthly Mist and is home to a large number of
aquatic Barbarous, including Lizardmen. What towns were
nearby have long been destroyed and overrun by the
Barbarous, who now control the area entirely. The Lizardmen
tend to stick to the old ruins of the towns, while more
dangerous Barbarous and other monsters live just under the
water's surface.
"Spine of Terastier" Drackea Mountains
A large mountain range opposite the Rudea Mountains, the
Drackea Mountains are a massive range, extending far beyond
the borders of the kingdom of Regallia. Because of the size of
the mountain range, it is often referred to as the "Spine of
Terastier". The southern part of the mountain range plateaus
off, becoming home too larger Barbarous such as Ogres and
Giants. However, even the smaller Barbarous in the area are
quite strong, making traveling through the area a dangerous
affair.
"The Calamitous Land" Karzoral Plateau
At the southern end of both the Rudea and Drackea
Mountains lies the large Karzoral Plateau, taking up much of
the center of the Terastieran continent. A desolate land, it
hides the old capital of the Barbarous underneath the wastes.
This massive underground city was used as a starting point for
the Great Catastrophe, and many Barbarous still live within
243
the labyrinthine city. In fact, there are so many Barbarous
hiding under the Karzoral Plateau that the kingdom of Regallia
is unable to make any sort of meaningful excursion to the city,
and so the armies watch each other across the Rudea
Mountains, waiting for any sign of weakness.
"Kingdom of Darkness" Underground City Tabaljid
A massive underground city located beneath the Karzoral
Plateau. Over the course of hundreds of years, Barbarous
flocking to the city have excavated it and expanded the space,
creating a massive maze-like structure home to thousands of
Barbarous. Rumors abound that there have been separate
nations based upon the race of Barbarous created within the
city itself, and that there have been wars between these nations.
Even today, the Barbarous in the city live a very chaotic life.
Naturally, no humanoid has ever been able to set foot inside
Tabaljid and return to tell the tale.
The Dagnia Region
The Dagnia region is a large area located on the eastern side

of Northern Terastier. Home to the Danos Sea, much of the
region was built near the waterfront in order to take advantage
of water-based shipping and tourism. However, since the
Great Catastrophe, much of the region lies in ruins, with most
remaining civilized settlements located near the western
border, close to the Zoma Marsh. As with the Liezen region,
much of the history of the Dagnia region lies within its conflicts
with the Barbarous. In particular, both the Kelkeira and Colf
islands in the Danos Sea are home to a sizable population of
Barbarous.
244
The Dagnia region is also home to many religious peoples,
especially followers of both Lyphos and Tidan. The Holy
Kingdom of Sephilia is home to an enormous temple
dedicated to Lyphos, and many pilgrims travel from all across
Terastier in order to see the sacred beauty. In order to protect
these pilgrims as they travel, many in the priesthood have
taken up arms, and have become powerful warriors in their
own right. Though Lyphos and Tidan have sizable
congregations in the land, other gods, such as Kilhia, also have
a good following in the region.
At the same time, though, rules and regulations in the region
are very strict behind the scenes, and more free-spirited
adventurers see the area as "full of stuffed shirts". In particular,
those with any sort of soulscars are looked down upon with
disdain, and Nightmares are especially discriminated against.
"The Divine Storehouse" Holy Kingdom of Sephilia
Located in the far west of Dagnia, the country is a very religious
nation ruled over by Pope Ismael Vizcaino (56 years old). The
capital, Aale, is located at the mouth of the Sefur River, and
alone has a population over 100,000 citizens. Many of these
are pilgrims who have traveled to the city to pay homage to the
state religion of Lyphos the Divine Ancestor and settled in the
capital rather than attempting to head back to their original
home. Aale is one of the few cities to have survived the Great
Catastrophe, though the fortified city was considered to be a
sacred place long before those events.
However, during the rise of magitechnology, many of the
elders in Sephilia believed that such works would turn people
away from the light of the divine, and so research into magitech
was frowned upon. While this has meant that much of the
work around Sephilia has to be done by hand, instead of being
245
aided with magitech machines, this does give the city an old-
fashioned appearance.
Religious artwork and sculpture are quite common, as well.
While much was destroyed during the Great Catastrophe,
there are still displays of breathtaking paintings and splendid
architecture to be found all throughout Aale. Even now, the
city attracts many artisans, painters and sculptors who wish to
restore much of what was lost during the Catastrophe.
Pope Vizcaino holds worship of Lyphos highest among the
gods and preaches respect for order and decrying those who
would scar their own soul. His teachings stir many in the city
to uphold the laws, and the majority of the citizens are polite
and morally driven. At the same time, though, adventurers
appear to be "ruffians" and "ne'er-do-wells", and those with free
spirits find the kingdom a hard place to live within.
Additionally, Pope Vizcaino shows an absolute intolerance for
the Barbarous, and will often send troops to both Kelkeira and
Colf in order to fight the Barbarous. However, despite
frequent attacks on the islands, there is yet to be any sort of
decisive action in this conflict, and there are concerns among
the citizens that troops are being wasted unnecessarily. As a
result, despite their supposed reputation, more and more
adventurers are being hired by the Papacy in order to travel
and fight the Barbarous.
There are some Lyphos warrior-priests who take vows in order
to protect the weak and fight off evils wherever they may be.
Such warrior-priests take on the name "Crusader", and only the
best of their numbers may identify themselves as anything else.
246
247
Crusaders are seen by the populace as the object of admiration
and respect, though their vows, including such restrictions as
being forbidden to lie, put them at odds with adventurers.
While worship of Lyphos is seen as the state religion, and
many of the public do follow the teachings of the Pope, there
are almost as many who follow Tidan, God of the sun. There
is even a temple of Tidan near the grand temple of Lyphos,
and there is no ill blood between priests of the two temples.
Despite this, there are unproven stories that Lyphosian priests
might face some sort of censure if they were to help lesser
priests, like those of Tidan.
Because of the views on soulscars, there are no priests in the
entire kingdom who are willing to resurrect fallen adventurers,
and so dying in combat is a very dangerous and very real
possibility. Nightmares are also discriminated against, due to
their inherent soulscars, and often find themselves shunned at
best, though attacks on Nightmares are not unheard of. Oddly,
Tabbits and Runefolk also find themselves as outcasts in
Sephilia, due to their various issues with connecting to the
divine, though they are not actively looked down upon like
Nightmares are.
"Ruined City" Republic of Barnad
Located in the center of the Dagnia region, the republic
inherited its name from the ruins of Barnad, a Durandal era
city destroyed during the Great Catastrophe. A young city-
state, it has only been around 100 years or so, though its
population is currently around 15,000.
The current city of Barnad occupies only about one-fifth of
the original city, the remainder being ruins yet to be explored
to any significant extent. There have been some archaeologists
248
from Sephilia who have made small expeditions into the ruins,
sending caravans back to Sephilia, Regallia and beyond with
their findings. There have been efforts to traverse the Istan
River as well, in hopes of having a waterway to Regallia, though
little headway has been made.
Inheriting the customs of the old city, Barnad is a republic,
ruled by a parliament of elected officials to determine the fate
of the country. However, it takes quite a few Gamels to even
run for a position, and so the parliament is mostly made of
successful adventurers and rich merchants. The driving
motivation of the parliament, outside of protecting themselves
and their citizens from the Barbarous, is "how to make
money". To that end, studies of magitech and other
archaeological items is welcome, as are wizards and sages who
are able to identify the various magical and magitech devices
left behind in the ruins.
A number of Runefolk have also begun to settle in the area,
almost as if they're looking to find information about previous
civilizations. However, rumors of unscrupulous operations
using Runefolk as unskilled hard labor and servants have
become common as of late, though the parliament has
currently turned a blind eye to such unsubstantiated tales.
"Kingdom of the Sun" La Lumeia Kingdom
A nation in the south of the Dagnia region, the Kingdom of
La Lumeia is home to a great number of Tidan, god of the
sun. Even the current king, King Valerio Silvestri (24 years
old), and his royal family are devout followers of the sun god.
With more than 60,000 residents, La Lumeia is well known
for having some of the most fertile land in the Dagnia region,
and provides many crops across not only Dagnia, but Liezen
and Zalts as well. However, the current feeling among the
249
populace of La Lumeia is that of unease, due to numerous
Barbarous attacks.
While not as strict as the Holy Kingdom of Sephilia, La
Lumeia does not look kindly on those with soulscars, and also
prohibits any sort of resurrection. At the same time, there are
specially trained exorcists who go on excursions to eradicate
the undead that plague the kingdom. Unlike the Crusaders of
Sephilia, these exorcists are willing to do whatever it may take
and sacrifice whatever is necessary in order to eradicate the
threat of the undead. This leads the exorcists to be both
trusted and feared among the general populace, and even the
Crusaders of Sephilia are often at odds with the methods used,
though they do not argue with the results.
Soldiers in La Lumeia are highly skilled, and often join in on
excursions to the various islands in the Danos Sea with
Sephilian troops in order to quash the Barbarous there. There
is an alliance between the two kingdoms, and many followers
of Lyphos have found their way to La Lumeia to start a new
life. Despite the outside influence, La Lumeia doesn't look
down on adventurers as harshly, and they are almost accepted
as a normal way of life in the kingdom. Even with the more
accepting public, though, adventurers' reputations will never
surpass those of the Crusaders.
"Glory of the Gods" Danos Sea
A bay-like sea in the middle of the Dagnia region. It is said
there used to be a floating city in the middle of the bay, and its
prosperity had people calling it the "Glory of the Gods".
However, this floating city was destroyed during the Great
Catastrophe, and the ruins lie at the bottom of the sea, its
knowledge and relics lost to the deep. It is said, though, that
the underwater city that sat underneath the floating city is still
250
active, though it supposedly remains covered by a dome-like
canopy.
At present, however, the Danos Sea is the territory of the
Barbarous, and so any sort of underwater exploration or
recovery efforts are extremely dangerous. From their bases on
both the Kelkeira and Colf islands, powerful Barbarous
leaders command various sea faring Barbarous, and are a great
threat to the human race.
However, the Crusaders of Sephilia will never stop in their
attempts to recover what was once known as the "Glory of the
Gods".
Kelkeira and Colf
These islands in the Danos Sea, also known as the "Daemon
Islands" and "Barbarous Paradise", are the home base for
Barbarous in the Dagnia region.
Kelkeira Island is a large, curved island, while Colf is long and
narrow. A large fortress was built on the islands during the
Durandal era, and now the Barbarous have taken control and
turned it into a terrifying symbol. Led by a Nosferatu named
Volkreia, the Barbarous on the islands have fallen under the
sway of his immeasurable charisma and have turned the
islands into their playground.
With this constant threat looming over them, the Holy
Kingdom of Sephilia has sent troops over to the islands in
order to deal with the Barbarous living there. However,
between Volkreia's charm and power, as well as the number
of both Barbarous and undead under his control, such attacks
have been consistently repelled. Retaliatory strikes against the
various kingdoms have also proven dangerous, as while
Swords of Protection can protect against both Barbarous and
251
undead, these swords will not prevent humans enthralled by
Volkreia and his vampires from getting into these cities and
taking them down from the inside.
However, Volkreia will only send retaliatory attacks after one
of the subjugation assaults from Sephilia has failed and does
not take the initiative when attacking. This has led some in
Sephilia to express caution about making another attack on the
islands, and as of late there has not been an attempt to gather
forces for another assault.
"Ancient Cursed Battlefield" Soltra Plains
The Soltra Plains are the area to the south and east of the
Danos Sea, and long ago these shores were prosperous, with
numerous cities all along the water. However, during the Great
Catastrophe many of these cities were destroyed, and
countless human and Barbarous lives were lost in the conflicts.
Since then, the land has been a barren waste, the innumerable
ruins only inhabited by undead cursed to walk the land, as
even Barbarous are afraid to set foot in these lands. Now, only
foolhardy adventurers and hardened Tidanite exorcists will
dare step into the area, testing their resolve against the living
dead.
252
Adventuring in Raxia
Riders' Guilds
The Riders' Guild is an organization that works alongside the

Adventurer's Guild in order to capture, train and outfit mounts
for those able to ride.
After the collapse of society across Terastier following the
Great Catastrophe, the demand for various trained mounts for
transportation and defense greatly increased, and those that
rose to meet this need became the Riders' Guild. Taking cues
from various horse-riding clubs that had existed during the Al
Menas days, the Guild has risen to become one of the most
prominent guilds across Raxia. New branches of the Guild are
being established all the time, and with newer technology and
innovations when it comes to not only the mounts themselves,
but their equipment as well.
While it would appear that adventurers are the most common
riders among guildmembers, it is actually merchants and
caravanners who are always looking for both pack animals
willing to carry their various wares as well as other riders and
mounts that may wish to make a quick bit of money doing
guard duties.
While it may appear that all Riders' Guilds are all the same, it
is actually a conglomerate of independent guilds under the
same name. While most guilds typically have some
combination of animals and magitech vehicles available for
mounts, in especially large cities multiple guilds may be
253
competing against each other, often preferring one particular
type of mount over another. However, in more rural areas, the
Adventurer's Guild may double as a Riders' Guild outpost,
with a small stable of mounts not far from the guildhouse.
Occasionally, there are guild branches operated by the local
state, and in such guilds preferential treatment may be given to
those willing to go out on adventures that would advance the
state's interests. On the other hand, there are guild halls owned
by the Institute of Magitechnology, and such guild branches
will have significantly more manabikes available to ride and
may even be willing to sell one to the right buyer.
Under normal circumstances, the Riders' Guild deals with a
good number of animals that do require some space to roam
while in Guild custody, and so many of the guildhalls and
warehouses can be found on the outskirts of any given city. In
certain cases, the stables are set up outside the city walls
themselves.
Mounts
Mounts used by the Riders' Guild will always have a mark
denoting ownership unique to that particular guild branch
somewhere on the mount itself. For the various animals, a
branding iron may be used in order to create a permanent
mark, though magical markings passed down from the old
horse-riding clubs of the Al Menas are used quite often. These
magical markings are also common on the various vehicles, as
branding them would almost assuredly damage the vehicle.
The animals used by the Riders' Guild start out as completely
wild beasts and are trained by Guild teachers using specialized
methods for each type of beast in order to become proper
mounts. Adventurers are involved in these processes as more
254
than just a renter or buyer but may also be asked to find young
animals to train, as well as occasionally recovering an animal
that has escaped from its training.
Mount Reduction Tags

These tags contain the power to reduce a mount and their
equipment in size, as well as preserve them in stone until the
mount is needed. This magic can extend to any drawn carriage
as well, making it easy to transport over a large distance.
It is thought that these tags were a form of petrification
preservation technology being actively researched in the latter
half of the Al Menas era. This technology would put the
animal into a state of suspended animation, reducing its size
and turning it into stone. The thought behind this process was
to reduce both the maintenance and upkeep of such an animal
and make it easier to transport that animal from one location
to another without using any sort of teleportation, while still
being able to call upon the beast should the situation prove it
necessary. Once such experiments were proven successful, the
magic of these tags were heavily utilized over the following
years.
Mount Contract Certificates and Proprietary Mount Certificates
In recent years, the Riders' Guild has been approving the use
of both Mount Contract Certificates and Proprietary Mount
Certificates among its members. These Certificates have very
similar powers as the Reduction Tags when applies to a mount
but are able to be used and reused much more often than the
Reduction Tags. Additionally, while the magical interference
between multiple Reduction Tags has not been fully resolved,
these Certificates do not have such restrictions, and many
255
adventurers have a number of different mounts and Contracts
depending upon the purpose.
As adventurers and riders become more trusted within the
guild, many of the guild branches are willing to lose out on
rental fees, so long as the adventurer purchases one of these
Certificates. However, this trust does not come right away, and
must not only be earned by the adventurer, but also
maintained through their deeds.
Celebrities in Northern Terastier
In this section are short descriptions of famous NPCs found

throughout Northern Terastier. It is up to the GM to make
use of these NPCs as they see fit, whether as clients and
sponsors for adventuring jobs, rivals searching the same
deserted ruins for treasure, or adversaries willing to take out
competition. Feel free to change any aspect of the following
NPCs, such as their age or personality, as the scenario needs.
256
Liezen Region
"The Dragon Knight King" King Bernard Falk
(Human/Male/53 yrs.)
"Let's go, Grundart. There's
Barbarous to hunt."
The King of the Duball Kingdom,
Bernard Falk is a fair and honest
man, with a strong temperament. As
a ruler, he is a benevolent leader, and
is respected and admired by those in
the Duball Kingdom. He will do
everything in his power to protect his
kingdom against the attacks of the
Barbarous, and when he calls upon
the great dragon Grundart for
combat, they make a truly ferocious team.
At the same time, King Falk has been the target of Barbarous
assassins on a number of different occasions and has died
numerous times. His major flaw is he is an unrivaled lover of
liquor and alcohol, and it is only when he is drunk that he is
unaware of any assassin. However, King Falk continues to
drink without hesitation, despite the fears and worries of his
aides.
257
"Dragon Marquis" Bastion Bair (Human/Male/33 yrs.)
"For His Majesty and the people.
That's why I became a Dragon
Knight."
A young Dragon Knight with the
rank of Marquis. Because of his
status as a Dragon Knight, as well as
his rank in the courts, it is rumored
that Bastion will be the next in line to
become King of Duball.
Having lost his parents at a young
age, Bastion dotes fondly on his
younger brother, Jean-Jacques. There are those who would say
that this affection is his only weakness, though anyone who
would say such things do so out of earshot of Bastion. Between
his promising future, beauty, and currently being single, he has
many followers among the lower courts, and will even earn
grudges from others without his knowledge.
"Mother General" Fulmeri Bergament (Dwarf/Female/97
yrs.)
"Hey, speak up! What, did you drop
the ball or something?"
The dwarf in charge of the soldiers at
Dordea, Fulmeri looks like a young
girl, and yet is nearly a century old.
Nicknamed the "Mother General",
she has six sons and three daughters,
and is the head of a family of over 30
members, including her great-
grandchildren.
258
Despite her childlike appearance, Fulmeri is a very harsh and
intimidating general, and more than one headstrong dwarf has
found himself shrinking away from her never-ending tirade. In
peacetime, she trains recruits, and anyone who thinks to be a
troublemaker quickly finds themselves on the wrong end of a
number of training exercises. At the same time, though,
Fulmeri lost her husband due to the war against the Barbarous
and is constantly being followed by a number of suitors.
"Fairy Princess" Sherio (Fairy/Female/?)
"I found some treasure over there. I
can guide you if you want..."
A fairy that resembles a beautiful elf.
While her identity is unknown, it's
possible Sherio may be a water fairy,
as she will show up near water.
Regardless of whether she shows up
in a city, or out in the countryside, she
will invite people to follow her to a
mysterious place.
Whether this is malicious or not is
arguable, as some never return from such treks. Even those
who do end up returning often have some of their memories
removed, despite returning with treasures. Either way, Sherio's
true purpose is completely unknown, though it is believed that
it is just having fun. Some adventurers have heard the tales and
look forward to finding her and going on an adventure, while
others believe that she is a harbinger of evil that must be struck
down.
259
"Daemon Obsessed" Trato Pampani (Tabbit/Male/27 yrs.)
"If you're aware of the origins of
daemons, you may know something
about us tabbits as well..."
A tabbit researcher in the so-called
Tabbit Autonomous Region in
Miraboa, Trato is obsessed with
daemons and their origin, and how
that may relate to the origin of tabbits.
His relentless thirst for knowledge
has seen him hire a number of
adventurers to delve into the Well of
Wisdom, in hopes of finding that elusive bit of evidence that
would prove his theories true. However, while he is obsessed
with the research he is doing, many believe that Trato is just
wasting his time, and there has been nothing found because
there is no evidence to be found.
Although he is an excellent wizard in his own right, Trato
dislikes fighting, and will insist to be a sagely scholar, nothing
more. When trying to capture a daemon alive, however, he
has no qualms about fighting fiercely, unleashing powerful
magic in the hopes of disabling the target instead of killing it.
"Iron Man" Xavier Hoaguel (Human/Male/29 yrs.)
A warlord in the kingdom of Regallia, Xavier earned
recognition fighting alongside King Falk of Duball. His
nickname came from his unearthly stamina, as he was able to
fight on for hours fully armed without stopping. While his
large, rough appearance and heavy armaments make him
appear to be a wild king of the wastes, Xavier is actually a
brutally effective tactician, taking advantage of every
260
opportunity he can to turn the tides against the Barbarous. He
is also fairly proficient with magitech and has no qualms with
firing a gun at the enemy. A brilliant and pleasant man, he has
earned the respect of both soldiers and civilians throughout
the Liezen region.
"Queen of Jewels" Queen Belanger Castagniers
(Human/Female/37 yrs.)
The current ruler of the Kingdom of Alphort, Queen
Castagniers took the throne as a matter of hereditary
succession. With youth and beauty that belie her age, she is
more apt to be a Fairy Tamer than a ruler of a kingdom.
Queen Castagniers does show enthusiasm when it comes to
fashion and collecting jewelry, and some believe that she is
funding her passion projects using national money. While she
does have a husband, the Queen has become a patron for a
number of young adventurers, and rumors have it that she has
taken a lover on the side from among them.
"Magic King" Ixelles Jennebert (Human/Male/43 yrs.)
The current king of Miraboa, King Jennebert is a master of
Truespeech, Spiritualism, and Magitech spells, giving him
unparalleled magical might as a ruler and the right to
nickname himself the "Magic King". Unfortunately, his
overconfidence has led to crisis in the past, as he has been
known to have a lack of awareness of the plight of his subjects.
On the other hand, anyone looking to study magic has the
backing of the state, and Miraboa is a major destination when
it comes to learning a variety of different styles of magic.
Occasionally, King Jennebert has given special lectures
regarding the uses of magic, though due to the subject matter
only a few dedicated magicians showed up to hear the king
speak.
261
Dagnia Region
"Battle Pope" Ismael Vizcaino (Human/Male/56 yrs.)
"To purify one's soul is to purify
oneself. This is the way the gods have
shown us."
The Pope of the Church of Lyphos,
and leader of the Holy Kingdom of
Sephilia. Pope Vizcaino is a radical
exclusionist, and does not tolerate
anyone who bears soulscars, whether
Barbarous or otherwise. Sparing no
expense, he has sent a number of
soldiers to the islands in the Danos
Sea in hopes of crushing the Barbarous who live there, but as
of, yet subjugation efforts have proved fruitless. While many
still hold support for the Pope for taking strong actions against
an obvious threat, there are those who look at the failed attacks
on the Barbarous as a waste of manpower and resources and
think that the Pope is overstepping his authority.
262
"Pure White Knight" Ulrika
Atstelberg (Human/Female/17 yrs.)
"How can you overlook someone in
need?"
A Lyphosian warrior-priest, Ulrika is
training in order to become a Crusader
herself. As many of the populace
would tell it, she is very pretty, smiles a
lot, and will go out of her way to help
someone in need, almost radiating an
aura of safety and security around her.
However, it is obvious that she still needs training, and this
shortcoming does tend to cause more trouble than not.
Ulrika is also an active combatant against the Barbarous, but
is hesitant to take the life of another, even if they are as evil as
she is told. As of late, she is wondering about the state of the
church and her future within the church. This internal debate
is writ large all over her face as she goes out to help the less
fortunate, her smile a little less bright as she questions her
faith.
263
"Hunter of the Dead" Raul Alfonso (Nightmare/Male/31
yrs.)
"Tidan, let these poor souls find
some rest..."
In order to overcome the stigma of
being born a Nightmare, Raul took it
upon himself to become an exorcist
of Tidan, a symbol of fear among the
devout. By using a variety of guns,
advanced Divine spells, and martial
prowess, he has become one of the
premier exorcists in the church
today. However, when dealing with
the undead, Raul is dangerously aggressive and doesn't appear
to fear death, his recklessness making even other exorcists
fearful of his powers.
"Troublesome Doll" Marika No.3 (Runefolk/Female/22 yrs.)
"...Why was I born?"
Marika is one of many Runefolk
produced for archaeological
exploration, one of many meant to go
delving into the Well of Wisdom.
However, none of the Runefolk
produced for this purpose have
remained in sync with each other,
and so Marika has been able to go
out into the world and explore it on
her own terms.
Though she appears to be a young woman, Marika is an
accomplished Artificer, and has been fighting on the front
264
lines against Barbarous for about 20 years. Her appearance
only serves to confuse and distract would-be enemies from the
power that she wields. However, due to her penchant for being
in dangerous situations, Marika has noticed that she is not seen
as an equal among adventurers and is worried for what the
future may bring on that front.
"Beautiful Destroyer" Almiralda
(Drake/Female/?)
"Burn it down! Destroy it all! Then
we can make this world ours!"
The leader of the Barbarous in the
Rudea Mountains. Almiralda is a
powerful drake even among other
drakes, and her ruthless and warlike
personality have given her a
reputation as one of the most
dangerous Barbarous in northern
Terastier. Holding a grudge against humans for killing her
husband, she often gathers large armies of Barbarous in order
to attack the civilized races and is willing to make any sacrifice
necessary in order to achieve her goals.
265
"Quiet Immortal" Volkreia (Nosferatu/Male/?)
"Why look for a fight? I'll give one to
you if you wish, but I must say I'm
tired of this..."
A Barbarous king with a castle on
Kelkeira Island, Volkreia has been a
threat to the Dagnia region since the
Great Catastrophe. A vampire of
Clan of Frau, he was a dangerous foe
who led an army of the undead
against civilization. However, as of
late he has been rather disinterested
in endless combats and would like to live quietly alone. Rumor
has it that Volkreia found a human girl and fell in love with
her, only to watch her die in combat against the Barbarous he
led.
Now, Volkreia only calls for attacks on the humans in
retaliation for their assaults on his castle. Even then, he does
not go out into combat himself anymore, but merely sends
subordinates off to war.
"Dawn King" Valerio Silvestri (Human/Male/24 yrs.)
A fairly young king, Valerio took the throne of La Lumeia just
recently due to his father, the previous king, dying in combat
against the Barbarous. A devout believer in Tidan, the sun
god, King Silvestri has a number of battle honors of his own
and has worked with Sephilia in attacking the Barbarous in
Danos Sea.
However, he knows of the history of Sephilia and how they
have relentlessly provoked the Barbarous for generations, how
retaliatory attacks tend to disproportionately affect La Lumeia,
266
and is not happy with having his whole kingdom and citizens
be a shield for Sephilia to hide behind. As a result, there is a
definite tension between King Silvestri and Pope Vizcaino,
which can even be seen in formal communications, let alone
if they were to meet face to face.
"Death Dealer" Emilio Pablo (Human/Male/39 yrs.)
One of the 11 councilors from the Republic of Barnad. He
has been researching, developing, and restoring old magitech
weapons from the ruins of the old city of Barnad, and has been
selling them in massive quantities. In particular, caravans full
of various weapons have been making their way to the
kingdom of Regallia as of late, with the number of exports
increasing yearly. However, there are critics who claim that
he's more worried about making money and putting business
first, rather than dealing with the imminent threat of the
Barbarous. There are also rumors that some of his weapons
are being sold into Barbarous hands as well, but nothing can
be proven at this point.
"Young Yggdrasil" Blumkvist (Yggdrasil Sapling/?/?)
A sampling of an Yggdrasil tree, hiding in the Forest Of
Unearthly Mist. It seems as though Blumkvist can see the
entire forest clearly, and it is said that if something were to
happen that would bring great harm to the forest, an old voice
sounds out of nowhere in order to give warning. Legend has it
that, during the time of the Great Catastrophe, it sought the
aid of adventurers passing through in order to drive away the
Barbarous who were attempting to destroy the forest. Since
then, it has been relatively tolerant of the civilized races,
assuming they give the forest the proper respect when traveling
through.

Part 5 Game Mastery
268
Scenario
Sample Scenario: "Dragon Eater"
Scenario Overview
The goal of this scenario is to find a missing Dragon Knight in
training, as well as recover a stolen dragon egg from the hands
of the Barbarous.
The PCs are asked to find out what happened to a prominent
knight who was headed to the dragon Faraliel in order to join
the ranks of the Dragon Knights of Duball. Upon arriving at
Faraliel's lair, they do not find the knight, but instead a
seriously wounded dragon. The party is then told how
Barbarous attacked the dragon's lair and stole one of Faraliel's
eggs, and the Dragon Knight-to-be left on a quest to find and
retrieve the egg.
Following the trail of the knight, the party will come across the
lair of the Barbarous who had stolen the egg. Deep within the
lair lies a daemon that had been sealed away during the
Durandal period, and the Barbarous hope to use the power
contained within the dragon's egg as a sacrifice to free the
daemon. It is up to the party to stop the profane ritual and save
both the dragon's egg and the knight.
Scenario Preparation
This scenario is designed for 5 PCs, with an average
Adventurer Level of 10. The session should take about 4-5
hours, depending upon how focused the players are. If there
269
is a different number of players, there will be guidelines to
adjust the number of monsters and Sword Shards in the
adventure as necessary. If there are two or less players, it is
recommended that the PCs are an average Adventurer Level
of 13 or higher, instead of 10.
Scenario Setting
The setting for this scenario is in the Liezen region of
Northern Terastier. Specifically, the party will begin in the
kingdom of Duball, known as the "Dragon Citadel" due to its
particular reverence for the great monsters. Duball is the
frontline when it comes to Barbarous invasions and is
constantly under attack. There are a number of uncharted
territories that border Duball, and even the experienced
adventurer should be careful when passing through. Because
of this constant conflict, though, a number of veteran
adventurers are drawn to the region, in order to give their aid
against the Barbarous.
Reading the Scenario

In the following text, some text will be in italics. These
sentences are meant to be read aloud by the GM, in order to
set the scene in each player's mind. Other, non-italicized text
is for the GM to know what is going on in the scene, as well as
any tricks, traps and treasure that may be found.
The Main Story

"Dragon Knight" - The highest title in the Kingdom of Duball.
Even members of the royal family cannot take the throne
unless they are also a Dragon Knight, that's how much the title
means to the Kingdom. Once the heir to the throne can ride
270
atop a dragon of their own, only then will the populace of
Duball will truly recognize their future king.
A young man has gone to the mountain where the great dragon
of Duball, Ardeltaid, lives, in order to become a Dragon
Knight himself. The first test of any true Dragon Knight, as
anyone in Duball will tell you, is to have one of the dragon's
lineages give the knight one of their eggs to raise. However, the
knight has not returned.
The great Dragon Marquis, Bastion Beirre, is looking for
competent adventurers to help him search for his younger
brother. Has something happened to the younger Beirre, and
why has he not returned to Duball? Has he angered the
dragons, or worse?

Scenario Flowchart
272
Introduction
Duball, the kingdom of Dragon Knights.
The Kingdom of Duball is in a dangerous place, located at the
border between civilized lands and the wilds that are home to
the Barbarous hordes. In particular, those Barbarous that have
crossed the Rudea Mountains to the south of the kingdom are
often quite strong and are rarely able to be driven off by
normal troops. Often, only the presence of a Dragon Knight
is enough to handle these powerful enemies.
Because of the constant conflict with the Barbarous, many
veteran adventurers are drawn to Duball, and offer their skill
to defend the kingdom. Your party is among the more famous
groups of adventurers who have traveled this far, and your
reputation precedes you. So much so that upon arriving in
town you are approached by a courier, who carries a message
from one Bastion Beirre, known among the populace as the
Dragon Marquis, and is one of the few Dragon Knights of the
kingdom.
The PCs in this scenario are assumed to be veteran
adventurers, whether they have come to Duball in search of
new adventures and thrills, or local adventurers who have
worked their way up to their current position. Either way, the
party is well known even before coming to the capital city of
Duball, and part of their reputation is taking on a number of
high-risk high-reward jobs and returning successfully.
If the PCs are looking to stay at the local Adventurer's
Guildhall, "Pike's Glory" is the place to be. The hall is known
for its abnormal number of higher-level adventurers and
difficult jobs and is more than happy to have famous
adventurers like the party stay while they're in town.
273
Almost immediately after arriving at "Pike's Glory", a courier
comes specifically asking for the party. If they ask who the
message comes from, they will be informed that the message
is from the "Dragon Marquis" Bastian Beirre. Marquis Beirre
is a Dragon Knight, an elite knight capable of riding a dragon
in battle and is considered to be the heir to the throne once
King Falk passes away. Beirre is only 33 years old, but his skill
at arms and treatment of his dragon mount are said to be
unmatched within the kingdom. He is also known to be quite
affable when he's not dealing with a Barbarous attack, and is
the perfect client with regards to status, credibility, and
personality.
Request of Marquis Beirre, Dragon Knight
Upon informing the party that the Dragon Marquis personally
requested they come to his mansion, the courier steps outside
and waits next to a grand carriage. With little fanfare, you step
in and find a seat, as the carriage makes its way through the
city of Duball. It is not long before the carriage comes to a
large mansion, complete with a gated wall and a large garden
in the front of the building.
The courier leads you into the building, and to a small
reception room just off of the entranceway. The room has a
good amount of luxurious, yet practical furniture, and it is not
long before a gentleman enters the room. Marquis Bastian
Beirre apologizes for the wait and greets the party. It is obvious
from his expression that there is something weighing heavily
on his mind, though exactly what remains to be seen.
Marquis Beirre introduces himself to the party and asks if they
wouldn't mind relaxing while he addresses the reason for the
sudden calling. A maid comes into the room not long after,
274
pushing a cart with tea and other small appetizers to serve the
party.
"Let me not beat around the bush, as I'm sure you're
wondering why I called you here. My younger brother, Jean-
Jacques, has gone missing, and I wish for you to find him.
"Jean-Jacques, my dear younger brother, has taken to following
in my footsteps, to the point where he wanted to attempt the
trials to become a Dragon Knight. The first step in doing so is
to head into the Rudea Mountains to the south, find a dragon's
cave, and care for one of their eggs until it hatches. The
dragons found in the mountains are of the brood of the great
dragon Ardeltaid and will assist those from Duball as per an
ancient pact made by King Falk's ancestor.
"However, just last night Jean-Jacques' wyvern mount returned
to the mansion, with my brother nowhere to be seen. The
wyvern, as well as much of the riding tack, was covered in small
scratches, as though it had seen some intense fighting before
coming back. I have no doubt something has happened to my
brother, and my task to you is to find out exactly what.
"As shameful as it is to say, Jean-Jacques is my only family, and
I care deeply for him. So much so that I am willing to pay
8,000G to each of you if he is brought back alive. If..." At this
point Bastian closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, then opens
his eyes again and continues. "If he is found dead, I will still
pay you 5,000G for the return of his body.
"Of course, I wouldn't send you out completely unprepared. I
do have a map to lead the way to Jean-Jacques' last known
location, the cave of the dragon Faraliel, as well as 10 days'
worth of food and drink. I also have a Dexterity Potion and a
good-sized Mako Stone, one of which I'd be willing to offer if
275
necessary. You may also need to show proof that you're
working on my behalf, so I have this small token showing
you're in my employ.
"When you have everything together, I beg of you to hurry and
find my brother as soon as you can. The Rudea Mountains are
quite dangerous, even for a knight like myself, so I could only
imagine how my poor brother is doing. Please, find him
quickly."
Jean-Jacques Beirre is a young lad of 20 years, with boyish
good looks and striking blonde hair. Though he is a bit
foolhardy, he is quite personable, and is quite capable of
becoming a Dragon Knight. Bastian thinks the world of his
younger brother and has supported Jean-Jacques' decision to
follow in his footsteps.
As soon as the PCs accept the request, Marquis Beirre will
have a pair of butlers come into the room, one pushing a part
with a number of packages on it, the other carrying a small
metal plate and a scroll. The packages are 10 days of food and
drink, one per member of the party, and will not spoil while
traveling during this scenario, as well as either the Dexterity
Potion or the 10-point Mako Stone, whichever the party
chose. The metal plate is a palm-sized engraving of the crest
of the Dragon Knights, which will provide proof that the party
is acting on behalf of Marquis Beirre, while the scroll is a map
to the cavern of the dragon Faraliel, where Jean-Jacques was
heading.
If the party has horses to ride, they will arrive at the dragon's
cave in two days. However, if they choose to walk, it will take
twice as long (four days). The party will not run into any
encounters while traveling to the Rudea Mountains.
276
To the Dragon's Mountain Lair
The Rudea Mountains are a range of steep, rugged mountains,
difficult to climb even in the best of weather. As the party
travels closer to the mountain range, you pass by a number of
small groves of trees, following ancient trails through the
woods that appear to be rarely used. Were it not for the map
from the Marquis, it is unlikely you would have found your
way to the mountains.
Eventually, you come across what appears to be a byroad into
the mountains, with a small carving in a nearby tree matching
a symbol on your map. Following the byroad for most of the
day, you eventually come across a massive cave entrance. As
you check your map to make sure this is the right place, you
get the feeling that you're sitting in front of a dragon's gaming
maw, staring down its dark throat.
Confirming your position, you enter the cave, taking in just
how massive it really is. The entrance is 10m wide, while the
ceiling quickly moves upward and away, disappearing into
darkness. Continuing on, this cave is easily large enough for a
dragon to live in.
As the players enter the cave, a Scout or Ranger can make a
Danger Sense check (TN 15). If successful, they notice the
coppery smell of blood, emanating from further on in the cave.
The PCs can also look for footprints, requiring a Track check
(TN 15), and if successful they will notice there were a number
of footprints heading into and out of the cave. If the Track
check result is over 20, the footprints can be determined to be
277
specifically those of a large species of Barbarous, at least 10 in
number.
The Wounded Dragon

The smell of blood is in the air.
As you head deeper into the cave, the smell becomes strong,
almost irritating to breathe. The scent becomes overwhelming
as you all arrive at the back of the cave and come across a
gruesome scene.
A large red dragon lies on the floor, in the middle of a pool of
blood. There are several blackened Barbarous corpses
nearby, the end of a fierce battle that took place quite recently.
As you look around the carnage, the dragon stirs, not dead,
but not quite alive either. It opens its eyes slightly as the party
comes closer.
The fallen dragon is the Lesser Dragon Faraliel, a mild-
mannered dragon who does not tend to attack without
provocation. However, she has been attacked by the
Barbarous recently, and so she is more cautious than normal.
Faraliel is severely injured, with all sections but their head at -
10 HP, and the Head only at 60 HP. Faraliel currently has 0
MP, as she has been casting healing spells since the Barbarous
attack in order to stay alive.
If the PCs approach cautiously and show the dragon the coat
of arms from Marquis Beirre, she will visibly relax. If asked
what happened, she will relay the following information to the
PCs.
278
"I was attacked by some Barbarous the other day. There were
quite a few of them, and they had managed to take me by
surprise. I tried my best to stop them, but there was just so
many, and they were well-organized for a group of Ogres.
Their purpose was to steal one of my eggs I had recently laid...
My precious egg...
"After stealing my egg from me, the Ogres ran away as fast as
they could, as if they had more important things to do. In their
haste, they didn't make sure I was totally dead, which is a small
favor itself. Jean-Jacques, that young man, came upon my poor
self not long afterwards, and healed me as best as he could.
However, he was no trained healer, and so he couldn't heal all
of my wounds.
"The young man tried his best, though, and as he kept at it, I
told him what had happened. After dressing my wounds, he
took his arms and headed out towards the Ogres. I wish he
hadn't, though, as he doesn't stand a chance against that many
Barbarous, especially as well-trained as they were. At this
point, I can only imagine the poor lad has been killed...
"The way they came in and attacked, it seemed like the Ogres
were specifically looking for one of my eggs. I can only imagine
it is going to be used for some vile ritual. Please, I ask of you
to stop them and bring my egg back if you can."
At this point, Faraliel tries to lift herself up off the floor of the
cave and fly out, but crashes back to the ground. The wounds
on her wings have not healed, and she cannot fly.
If the PCs are able to heal Faraliel, she will follow the PCs in
their search for Jean-Jacques. If they return the egg safely,
Faraliel will also gift the party with an Eternal Chronoglass, a
279
powerful artifact and one of Faraliel's most treasured items
from her hoard.
If the PCs are greedy and choose to attack Faraliel, she will
fight as best as she can give her weakened state. If the party
defeats the dragon, they will find the Eternal Chronoglass and
around 200,000G worth of treasure. However, Faraliel is one
of the most important dragons in Duball and killing her will
be sure to bring the full wrath of the kingdom down upon the
party.
Following the Knight, Jean-Jacques
As the party looks near the mouth of the cave, it is obvious
now that Jean-Jacques has followed the footsteps of the Ogres
who attacked Faraliel. The Ogres were more likely too
preoccupied with the dragon's egg to notice the lone knight
following behind. However, as the trail winds through the
mountains, the way becomes quite steep, with no roads to be
found. Continuing on will become quite difficult, with hard
work ahead.
If the PCs have healed Faraliel, she will offer to let the PCs
ride on her back, making the travel to the mouth of the cave
and beyond quite easy. She can instinctively track the location
of the egg, so it is unnecessary to have the PCs do any sort of
tracking.
However, if the PCs are heading out on their own, they need
to make a Track check (TN 13) in order to keep the footprints
in sight. A failed check loses the trail, and the PCs will lose a
day getting back on track.
The Sealed Cave
280
As you pass a hollow in the mountainside, there is a fairly large
cave opening. At 5m wide, it is much larger than you would
expect for a hidden cave entrance. From a distance, it is
difficult to see, but as you approach the cave, it is quite easy to
find the cave due to the Ogre guards out front. These two
Ogres are strong, but they're unlikely to be a match for skilled
adventurers like yourselves.
Standing as lookouts are two Lesser Ogres, who should be
fairly easy for the PCs to surprise. The area surrounding the
cave entrance is quite rugged, so sneaking up on the Ogres
should be trivial.
However, should either of the Lesser Ogres be alive after two
rounds, reinforcements will come from the cave, drawn to the
sounds of battle. 4 Ogres and 2 Ogre Berserkers will join the
battle during the third round of combat, while the Ogres
remaining in the cave will be alerted to intruders and cannot
be further surprised.
If the PCs are with Faraliel, the Lesser Ogres will attempt to
run inside for help. However, between her attacks and Flame
Breath, they will not make it far enough into the cave to alert
the other Ogres.
Into the Cave
A strange, heavy presence can be felt emanating from the cave.
From the looks of it, the cave was originally a natural cave that
had been sealed by a rockfall in front of the entrance, hiding
its presence and making it nearly invisible. It appears, though,
that the Ogres have cleared away the fallen rocks, and moved
into the cave without much of an issue.
The cave is 5m high inside, large enough that a rider with a
single-section mount can enter quite easily. However, if
281
Faraliel is with the party, the Lesser Dragon will not be able to
continue on, as the cave is too small for her.
"Pshah, of course those cowards would retreat into such a
small cave. Were they only out here, I would set them all
ablaze! However, I must entrust the care of my egg to you, and
hope that you can defeat these Ogres in my stead."
With that, Faraliel will wait outside for the party to emerge.
If the party captures the Lesser Ogres alive, they will tell the
party the following information.
"We've got a plan to kill the humans, we do." "Dorgan, he's our
leader, and the strongest around. His Succubus mistress is
really good at magic, so they stay on top of the other Ogres."
"Between the dragon and the knight, we've lost a couple
fighters, but there's still more than 10 of us!" "The knight? He
killed two of the guards, but he got beaten up too. He's back
in the cave, but I hope he's dead by now."
a: Entrance
The cave is a natural cave, its walls smooth and worn. There
are a number of small, branching paths, but only the one path
leading forward is large enough for both humans and Ogres to
pass through.
There are no distinguishing features of the entrance to the
cave, outside of the footprints. If a character succeeds on a
Track check (TN 13), they will know there are a number of
Ogres who are still deep within the cave.
b: Groundwater Spring
The sound of slow-moving water echoes in the large chamber.
On the far side of the room, a groundwater vein slowly
282
meanders from one side of the room to the other, filling a
small pond with water. Near the edge of the water, you can see
a body lying on the ground.
283
There is a small spring here, filled with clean, clear water. At 284
the bottom of the spring is a groundwater vein, flowing from
"h". If a PC wishes to swim, it is 30m entirely underwater, and
so a Swim check needs to be made to swim against the current,
TN 15 if there is a light the PC can use underwater, TN 19 if
not. If the PC is an Elf, or has "Underwater Aptitude", no
check needs to be made.
If the PC is unsuccessful, they will be pulled past the spring
into a narrow part of the stream and become trapped. Without
aid, the PC will die.
Lying by the spring is Jean-Jacques Beirre. He had managed
to fight his way past the Ogre guards but was defeated by more
Ogres farther in and knocked unconscious. After waking up,
he attempted to retreat and find help, but was attacked by one
of the Alchemy Tooths in "c". IF the party has lost a day or
more's travel before arriving at the cave, Jean-Jacques will be
dead from the Golden Disease.
A PC can attempt to cast "Resurrection" on him, and he will
return to life. However, if there is no attempt to mitigate the
Golden Disease, whether through "Cure Disease" or some
other method, he will succumb to the disease and die again
within 24 hours. A successful Monster Knowledge check (TN
14) will let the PCs know that this disease is caused by an
Alchemy Tooth, and that there is a serum that can be acquired
from a dead Alchemy Tooth that will cure the disease.
If Jean-Jacques can be brought to consciousness, he will tell
the party the following information.
"Thank you for your aid. My name is Jean-Jacques Beirre,
from the kingdom of Duball. I had tracked a number of
Barbarous from the lair of the dragon Faraliel here, in order
to reclaim a stolen egg and stop a dark ritual. You see, deep
285
within this cave is sealed an ancient daemon, and the Ogres
wish to bring it back into the world by using the dragon egg as
a sacrifice.
"According to folklore, there are a few daemons capable of
destroying entire nations, who have been sealed away for some
time. I dread that this daemon is one of those, and so when I
had heard them talking about the daemon's power and the
ritual, I tried to escape and warn others in Duball about the
situation... Until I ended up getting poisoned from one of
those monsters and ended up in this mess.
"As shameful as it is, I must put aside my pride and ask. Will
you join me, and help me put a stop to this ritual?"
If the PCs ask him for a reward, Jean-Jacques will offer all of
the money he has on him, as well as a ruby ring with the Beirre
coat of arms on it. The ring itself is not magical, but it can be
sold for 8,000G as a work of art. A successful Appraise check
(TN 13) will inform the PCs of its value.
If there are 3 or fewer PCs, the GM should try and have Jean-
Jacques accompany the party if possible. If the party has 5 or
more PCs, his presence is not needed as much (but may still
be welcome). If Jean-Jacques accompanies the party, his
information is as follows. In the case his help is not needed or
refused, he will wait outside of the cave (with Faraliel if she is
there) for the party to emerge.
c: Snake Nest
As you enter the room, there seems to be a chasm on the other
side of the room, cutting the room in half. The cave continues
on beyond this chasm, but your attention is drawn to the
strange, golden snakes that have come out of the shadows. As
you approach, they raise their heads, getting ready to attack.

287
Three Alchemy Tooths are in the room and will attack if the
players attempt to get to the chasm on the other side.
Enemies: Alchemy Tooth x3
Behind the Alchemy Tooths lies a chasm, about 6m away
from the party. Upon closer inspection, the chasm is 10m
deep, and a failed check to cross it will result in a terrible fall.
d: Force Wall
As the party walks down the corridor, they come to an abrupt
halt as a strange, transparent wall fills the tunnel. Its reddish-
purple glow sheds some light in the tunnel, but not much.
Seeing beyond the wall is quite difficult, and it is likely that
trying to pass by force would end up going poorly.
A character touching the Force Wall receives Power 40 + 20
Lightning-type damage (with a C Value of 10). A successful
Willpower check (TN 22) can reduce this damage by half.
Characters with the Racial Trait "Mana Interference" are
unaffected by this damage. Regardless, the wall doesn't actually
stop anyone from passing through, though it does block line
of sight for magical effects.
The device in room "g" is used to control this door.
e: Guard Unit
A fairly spacious room, though there are a few Barbarous here
loitering. Upon seeing the party approach, they gather their
weapons and move in to attack.
Enemies: Ogre Berserker x1, Ogre x3
Lying on the floor are three unidentifiable bodies, barely
recognizable as more than piles of bones. The Ogres will fight
288
to the death and will refuse to speak to the PCs even if
captured alive.
f: Sealed Door
The tunnel widens, and as it does you notice a door set into
the wall. This door is obviously man-made, a clear difference
to the natural rock walls everywhere else in the cave. Complex
patterns and sigils were carved into the door, intended to keep
something sealed behind. However, the door now hangs
slightly ajar, the seal obviously broken.
Behind the door lies the room where a powerful daemon was
sealed into this cave, and the Barbarous are about to begin the
ritual to revive it. The door is open slightly, allowing the
players to open it without issue, however there are three Ogres
standing watch that will attack the players as they enter the
room.
A successful Hide check (TN 18) will allow that PC to look
through the gaps in the door unnoticed, through which they
will see room "i". However, if the PC fails, they are close
enough to the Ogres (10m) for them to move and attack in the
same round of combat.
Door Engraving
The following is engraved on the door, written in the Arcana
language.
Sealed beyond lies the Lord of the Great Woe, the
Incarnation of Destruction, the Daemon Lord Bargadaras.
His power has brought the Ten Kingdoms to ruin, slaying the
Seven Emperors of Magic. To unleash this power is to know
destruction and be doomed.
289
A Sage or Bard can make an Insight check (TN 22) in order
to remember the lore of Bargadaras. It is said he was one of
the most powerful Daemons known to Raxia and was said to
have destroyed a number of great kingdoms during the
Durandal period, and many great wizards are said to have died
by his hand. However, his true identity is unknown, and there
are debates as to whether Bargadaras even existed, let alone
performed all of the foul deeds attributed to him if he did.
g: Force Wall Control Panel
There is a pedestal here, carved of a stone different from that
found in the cave. Polished smooth, it is about 1m high and
finely engraved with many letters, glowing dimly with a magical
light.
This pedestal controls the force wall found in "d". The
engravings are words in Arcana, and by speaking the words
there and holding a hand over the panel, one can turn the
force wall on or off. A Sage can use an Appraise check (TN
18) to figure out how to use it. The pedestal cannot be
destroyed or removed.
h: Groundwater Vein
Groundwater has collected in the deeper crevasses of the cave,
creating a large pond of clear water. There seems to be a slow
flow of water from the eastern side of the room, heading south
in the cave.
This pond is connected to the spring in "b" by a groundwater
vein. If a PC wishes to swim, it is 30m entirely underwater, and
so a Swim check needs to be made. The PC would be
swimming with the current, and so the TN is 13 if there is a
light the PC can use underwater, TN 17 if not. If the PC is an
Elf, or has "Underwater Aptitude", no check needs to be made.
290
If the PC is unsuccessful, they will be pulled past the spring
into a narrow part of the stream and become trapped. Without
aid, the PC will die.
i: Room of Sealing
Inside is a room carved by hand, smoothed out from the
natural walls of the rest of the cave. On the far side of the room
is an altar, a large, heavy stone similar to a coffin set on top.
There are three large eggs set in front of the altar; these must
be the stolen dragon eggs.
Also in the room are an exceptionally large Ogre, as well as a
half-nude woman with thin wings coming from her back, both
facing the altar. Three Ogres are standing watch, facing the
only door into the room, looking to prevent unwanted visitors
from entering.
This room is the chamber where the ancient daemon lord was
said to be sealed.
Three Ogres are in the 10m corridor right behind the door,
while the Ogre leader and woman are performing a ritual in
the 15m x 20m room beyond. The Ogres are looking to unseal
Bargadaras in hopes of bringing untold destruction to
Terastier. They think they can control the ancient daemon
lord, but unknown to them their rituals are incomplete, and
the daemon will never be subdued by the Ogres.
If the PCs enter the corridor, the Ogre Warlord and Succubus
will stop the ritual and turn to attack the party.
"You persistent insects! If you want to interfere with our ritual,
we will crush you!"
Enemies: Ogre Warlord x1, Succubus x1, Ogre x3
291
The Ogre Warlord has 13 Sword Shards with him and will
attempt to use [Multi-Action] to make a magical attack against
the Rearguard while melee attacking the Frontline. The
Succubus will use magic to attack and will attempt to use
"Indecent Dreams" in order to incapacitate foes. All foes will
fight to the death and will not surrender.
If there are 4 or fewer PCs, reduce the number of Sword
Shards carried, and remove the 3 Ogres entirely. If there are
6 or more PCs, use 2 Ogre Berserkers instead of 3 Ogres.
If the Barbarous are defeated, the scenario will end.
End
Defeating the Ogre Warlord and Succubus and returning with
Jean-Jacques will end the scenario.
No special encounters will occur on the way back to Duball,
though if Faraliel was with the party, she may fly them back to
the city for a grand entrance.
Marquis Beirre will be delighted if the PCs are able to bring
back Jean-Jacques alive. In the future, the Marquis will be
treated as a "friend" of the PCs (adding 400 points to their
Total Reputation, as though they had spent it on the bond
between characters).
In addition to the reward, the party will receive 1,000 + (1d x
10) Experience Points, as well as the Experience Points for all
of the monsters defeated along the way.
Subsequent Developments
Through this incident, the PCs will not only become
acquainted with Marquis Beirre but will also have performed
a valuable service in the name of the Kingdom of Duball. The
292
party will become famous within the kingdom, and any PCs
with Rider levels will be able to rent a Dragonet as a mount.
At the same time, it is apparent that the Barbarous were
attempting to destroy not only the kingdom, but the rest of the
continent as well. A grave threat such as this cannot be ignored,
and there is no doubt the Barbarous will try more and more
radical plans. While adventurers will undoubtedly be drawn
into this conflict, it is possible the PCs could follow up on this
attack and make an excursion into Barbarous lands.
However, if the PCs were underhanded and killed Faraliel,
their duplicity will undoubtedly be discovered before long, and
the Marquis Beirre will disavow any knowledge of the party.
They will be treated as outlaws in the Dragon Kingdom and
have their own bounty hunters chasing them to the ends of the
earth in order to extract justice for the slain dragon.

their arsenal than those of the Gods of Light. Specifically, the
11th level spell "Surrender", the 12th level spell "Sacred Field",
and the 13th level spell "Erase Soulscar" are not learned.
Instead, the 11th level spell "Resignation", the 12th level spell
"Vice Field", and the 13th level spell "Instant Soulscar" are
learned in their place.
Cost
Resignation 13MP
Summary Type
Dampens the fighting spirit Psychic
Effect
Targets who fail to resist this spell will receive a -4 penalty to their
Accuracy and Spellcasting checks when one of the targets is a
Barbarous. If the target has more than 1/10th of their Maximum HP
remaining, this spell does not work.
294
Cost
Vice Field 20MP
100m Radius Self/- Instant N/A
Summary
Creates a barrier blocking that hostile to your god
Effect
The target area has a barrier formed around it, preventing any
humanoid or Undead from passing through. This barrier also prevents
any spells or abilities from humanoids or Undead form passing
through as well. This barrier does not move with the caster; once the
spell is cast, the caster is free to move, and the barrier will remain
where it is.
When this spell is cast, if there are any humanoids or Undead already
within the area of this spell, the barrier will not form. Additionally, if
this effect overlaps with the range of a Sacred Field spell (see p. 156),
both spells' effects end immediately.
Cost
Instant Soulscar 20MP
1 Character 30m/Target 1 minute (6 r) Temporary
Summary
Gives the target a temporary soulscar, weakening humanoids and
strengthening Barbarous
Effect
The target receives one soulscar for a split second. Depending upon
the target, this spell will act differently:
If the target is a humanoid, then they must roll a die at the beginning
of their next turn. If the result is 3 or less, then no movement or Major
Actions may be taken that turn.
If the target is a Barbarous, then they must roll a die at the beginning
of their next turn. If the result is 4 or greater, that Barbarous may take
two Major Actions that turn.

Cost

100m radius 30m/Target 3 minutes (18 r) Can't
Summary
Makes the area and everything within more susceptible to poison and
disease
Effect
All characters within the spell receive a -3 penalty to resist all Poison-
and Disease-type effects. The land within range becomes barren, and
any non-character plants in the spell's range will immediately die. The
land remains fallow for a year, and nothing will grow until then.
296
Specialized divine spells of Metissier, God of Immortality
Cost
Unholy Soil 50MP
100l of soil Touch/- Permanent N/A
Summary Type
Desecrate soil with unholy power Curse
Effect
If the caster would die, or otherwise have their body destroyed, their
spirit will seek out this specially prepared ground, and create a new
body from the soil. The character will still receive a soulscar as with a
normal resurrection, and their MP will remain as it was when they
died, but this new body will be in perfect health, and their HP will be
restored to its maximum.
If this spell is cast on a new target, the previous target becomes inert
soil.
This spell takes one day to cast.
Specialized divine spells of Laris, God of Madness

Cost
Call Daemon 20MP
Any Point 10m/Target Instant N/A
Summary
Summons a daemon from another world.
Effect
Calls a Daemon Level 13 or lower to assist the caster. The summoned
Daemon cannot use a Major Action on the turn they are summoned
but will act on their own initiative every turn thereafter.
297
Bestiary
There are many new monsters to add to Sword World,

ranging from weak Level 1 monsters to powerful Level 20
monsters. When using such high-level monsters, they will
often have a number of powerful abilities, and so the GM
should be aware of what the PCs can do in combat and adjust
accordingly. On the other hand, if it appears that the PCs will
overwhelm the monsters with little effort, think about
powering the monster up using Sword Shards.
New Additions
This book adds a few new additions to monster effects.

"/ Can't" Special Abilities
As with some spells, there are some monster special abilities
that just cannot be resisted. Whenever such an ability is used,
it will automatically take effect, and does not give the targets a
chance to resist or evade the effect.
Special Abilities using Multiple Sections
There are a few new abilities of monsters that require multiple
sections to work in conjunction with each other in order to be
used. In such cases, the sections needed must still be alive, and
must not have taken a Major Action that turn. After using such
an ability, all sections used will be considered to have taken
their Major Action for the turn.
Sometimes, there will be abilities that don't require a specific
set of sections but will grow stronger the more sections are
298
available to be used. For example, an ability may deal "2d x
(Remaining Sections)" damage, where the (Remaining
Sections) is however many sections remain that have not taken
their Major Action that turn.
Combat with NPCs
When fighting humanoid NPCs with specific character data, a

Monster Knowledge check can still be made to figure out how
strong that NPC is. The target for that check is going to be the
character's Adventurer Level +3, and if successful the target's
race, classes (and levels), and any equipment will be known.
Named equipment can be determined by a subsequent
Appraise check (see CR I: p. 117-137) to determine what
abilities it has. Upon defeat, the NPC will award (Adventurer
Level x 10) experience points.

[Underwater Aptitude]
A Lizardman Mariner is able to move in water without penalty.
A member of an elite group of Lizardmen, trained to rush into enemy
territory and create openings for other Barbarous from within. In the
past, there was worry that these elite Lizardmen would take down cities
under a united leadership. However, with no central power to unite
them, they pose less of a threat nowadays.

As long as the Yeti Lower Body's HP is 1 or more, the Upper Body
receives a +4 bonus to melee Evasion checks. When the Lower Body
falls to 0 HP or lower, this effect disappears.
A snow giant covered in white hair, a Yeti stands tall at over 5m. Often
found in cold and snowy areas, Yetis are quite territorial, and will
mercilessly defend their territory from any invaders. Their arms are
larger than their body, and their devastating claw attacks can rend steel
with little effort, so retreat is recommended if accidentally angering one.

the same target. 13+ Golden
[Power Attack II] Berserker
An Ogre Berserker can deal an Accessory
additional +12 damage on their next (4,500G)
attack. However, any Evasion Check
made by the Ogre Berserker this turn
receives a -2 penalty.
While these Ogres cannot shapeshift or use magic like their brethren,
their relentless attacks and savage strength more than make up for those
shortcomings. While dumb in comparison, Ogre Berserkers are quite
happy to just be able to fight and will find joy in running down those
weaker than them.

[Bloody Temptation / 14 (21) / Will / Loot
Negated] Always Leanan Sidhe
On a successful Claw attack, the Blood (1,000G)
Leanan Sidhe can choose to drink 2-8 None
blood instead of dealing damage. 9 - 12 Barbarous
When doing so, the target must make Decree (500G)
a Willpower check or be affected by 13+ Ring of Ruddy
the Leanan Sidhe's curse, whose
Complexion
effects depend upon how many times
(9,500G)
they have failed the Willpower check.
This curse has a target power of 21 for "Remove Curse” but can also be
broken if the target drinks the blood of the same Leanan Sidhe that has
drunk theirs. This ability can only be used once per day per target.
1 - 3: The target will act as though the Leanan Sidhe is a trusted ally and
will try to sabotage any combat between the Leanan Sidhe and the party.
The target will help the Leanan Sidhe, so long as it does not cause any
loss of life, property, or status.
4 - 5: The Leanan Sidhe's wants, and needs will be the highest priority,
with even the target's own life, property and status being secondary.
When in combat, the target will at first take no action against the Leanan
Sidhe but will move to help them as an ally once their HP has been
reduced.
6: The Leanan Sidhe is an equal to the target, who is willing to part with
everything short of their own life in order to keep the Leanan Sidhe alive
and happy. The target will not hesitate to join the Leanan Sidhe should
combat break out.
7: The target exists solely to serve the Leanan Sidhe, and would die for
the Leanan Sidhe, were they to command it.
[Spy Knowledge]
The Leanan Sidhe is immune to the effects of Swords of Protection.
304
A Barbarous created by the whims of an immortal Nosferatu, the Leanan
Sidhe appears as a beautiful woman with pale skin, a slim body, and
sharp fangs. Usually seen as a servant to the highest-ranking Barbarous
in the area, they can also slip past the protection offered by Swords of
Protection in order to carry out espionage missions. Unlike other
Nosferatu, the Leanan Sidhe can walk around in sunlight without any ill
effects, making them incredibly dangerous foes if they need to dirty their
hands in combat.
Leanan Sidhe, when working in human territory, will try and find their
target, get close to them, and then drink their blood. Doing so puts their
target under their thrall, while the target thinks of the Leanan Sidhe as a
new lover, living their life as normal otherwise. Due to the effects of the
curse, however, the target will become weakened and pale as time passes.

[Magic Aptitude]
A Succubus can use the Combat Feats [Guided Magic], [Magic
Convergence], [Magic Control], [Metamagic/Targets], and
[Wordbreak].
305
[Indecent Dreams / 16 (23) / Will / Negated]
A Succubus can drain energy from a target within a 20m radius, dealing
them 2d Curse-type damage to either their HP or MP and causing them
to fall asleep immediately. The Succubus must choose whether to target
HP or MP for each use of Indecent Dreams and will regain HP or MP
equal to the damage dealt. This ability will still affect those who don't
normally sleep.
[Flight]
A Succubus receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee attacks) and
Evasion while flying.
Appearing as a beautiful person with bat wings, these Barbarous are
commonly called a Succubus, though technically males of the species are
an Incubus. Regardless of the name, these Barbarous will invade dreams
and turn them quite salacious, draining energy from their victims through
lewd acts. They can even cause sleep in those who would not normally
sleep, meaning no one is off limits to their energy draining abilities.

[Mana Strike]
An Ogre Warlord may deal an additional +14 damage to their next
melee attack. If they do, they receive a -1 penalty to Evasion, Fortitude,
and Willpower checks until their next turn.
Though unable to transform, Ogre Warlords are a higher breed of Ogre,
able to learn combat and become master tacticians like no other Ogre
can. While not much different in outward appearances, Ogre Warlords
will often stand out due to an abundance of various crowns, necklaces,
and other such ornamentation they wear. Additionally, every Ogre
Warlord has a fancy sword, more treasure than weapon, that shows their
dedication to the Barbarous cause.

cannot be Evaded. All remaining Arms must be able to take a Major

When doing so, the target must make (5,000G)
a Willpower check or be affected by 13+ Ring of Crimson
the Leanan Sidhe's curse, whose Complexion
effects depend upon how many times (12,000G)
they have failed the Willpower check.
This curse has a target power of 27 for "Remove Curse” but can also be
broken if the target drinks the blood of the same Leanan Sidhe that has

the Leanan Sidhe, were they to command it.
[Bloody Change / 20 (27) / Will / Negated]
On a successful Claw attack, the Leanan Sidhe can choose to drink
blood instead of dealing damage. When doing so, the target must make
a Willpower check or be affected by the Leanan Sidhe's curse, whose
effects depend upon how many times they have failed the Willpower
check. This curse has a target power of 26 for "Remove Curse” but can
also be broken if the target drinks the blood of the same Leanan Sidhe
that has drunk theirs. This ability can only be used once per day per
target.
1st time: The Leanan Sidhe knows the target's name and will be able to
take their appearance.
2nd time: The Leanan Sidhe knows the target's most common
mannerisms, quirks, and tone and can reproduce them, though close
friends and family will notice something off. Additionally, the Leanan
Sidhe knows the target's family and close acquaintances.
3rd time: The Leanan Sidhe can perfectly copy all of the target's
mannerisms, quirks, and tone, undetectable to even close friends and
family of the target. The target begins to notice they are becoming more
forgetful but will rationalize it away.
4th time: The Leanan Sidhe gains a wide range of the target's memories
and can call upon a good deal of the character's knowledge. The target
now suffers from significant memory loss and will have some trouble
with everyday life. Past experiences, old promises, and even locations of
stored items and equipment are all difficult, if not impossible, to recall.
5th time: The Leanan Sidhe gains the lowest-level class of the target
(randomly determined if more than one), while the target loses access to
that class entirely.
6th time: The Leanan Sidhe knows all of the target's memories, as well
as the highest-level class of the target (randomly determined if more than
one). The target will have lost enough memory and ability to the point
where even daily life is difficult.
7th time: The Leanan Sidhe has access to all of the target's combat
abilities, Combat Feats, all classes, etc., and for all intents and purposes
can become an exact copy of the target. Meanwhile, the target is little
more than a living corpse.
[Spy Knowledge]
The Leanan Sidhe is immune to the effects of Swords of Protection.
310
Among the Leanan Sidhe, there are only a few elites who are skilled
enough to call themselves "Assassins". Under the command of older
Nosferatu, these Assassins will infiltrate large cities in order to find and
impersonate important targets, whether high-ranking officials or famous
adventurers. Once this impersonation is complete, the Assassin will open
the city to Barbarous invasions, taking down civilization from the inside.

A Drake Count cannot transform for an hour after using this ability.
One of the highest-ranking Barbarous, Drake Counts have a regal air
about themselves that lesser Drakes do not. While they may be the same
as other Drakes physically, a Drake Count's appearance and mannerisms
have that noble look about them, unconsciously showing off their status
to other Barbarous. At the same time, Drake Counts are masterful
combatants and tacticians, able to control thousands of Barbarous
beneath them with ease.

[Magic Aptitude]
A Vampire Rose (Vampire Form) can use the Combat Feats [Guided
Magic], [Magic Convergence], [Magic Control], [Metamagic/Distance],
[Metamagic/Targets], [Metamagic/Time], [Hawk Eye], [Multi-Action]
and [Wordbreak].
[Flight]
A Vampire Rose (Vampire Form) receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only
for melee attacks) and Evasion while flying.
[Normal Weapon Immunity]
A Vampire Rose (Vampire Form) is immune to damage from normal
weapons and can only be harmed with silver or magical weapons.
[Rose Enchantment / 22 (29) / Will / Negated]
By releasing a fragrance that smells like a rose's, the Vampire Rose
(Vampire Form) can enthrall a target within a 20m radius. The target will
follow the Vampire Rose's orders for 10 seconds (1 round) but has a -2
penalty on all Actions as they are not in full control of their body. This
ability happens automatically at the beginning of the Vampire Rose's
turn, with the Vampire Rose able to give commands as a Minor Action
during their turn. This is a Psychic-type effect.
315
[Double Claws]
When dealing damage with a Claw attack, damage is rolled twice and
added during damage calculation.
[Blood Suck]
On a successful Claw attack, the Vampire Rose (Vampire Form) can
choose to drink blood instead, dealing 2d + 30 damage. The Vampire
Rose heals HP equal to the total damage dealt.
If the target is reduced to 0 HP or lower from this attack, they receive a
-15 penalty to their next Death Check. If the character fails this Death
Check, they receive an extra 5 soulscars, and rise as a Blood Sucker.
If the Vampire Rose does not use this ability at least once every 7 days,
they lose 9 HP and MP per week (cumulative) that they do not drain
blood, and also cannot use their "Regeneration" ability. These penalties
immediately go away once the Vampire rose successfully drains blood.
[Regeneration]
At the end of each round, a Vampire Rose (Vampire Form) recovers 9
HP.
[Vampire Body]
As long as a Vampire Rose (Vampire Form) is under sunlight, it receives
a -2 penalty to all Accuracy and Evasion Checks. Additionally, the
Vampire Rose cannot use their "Regeneration" or "Normal Weapon
Immunity" abilities, and at the end of each round, the Vampire Rose is
dealt 9 Magic damage. This damage cannot be reduced by any means.
[Bat Form]
As a Minor Action, the Vampire Rose transforms into a myriad of bats,
each about 10cm long. For more information, see the Vampire Rose
(Bat Form) data. A Vampire Rose cannot transform during the same
turn they use their [Vampire Form] ability.
[Resurrection]
After 7 days, the Vampire Rose will revive itself from the collection of
tainted ashes that it leaves behind when "killed". In order to prevent this
from occurring, the ashes must be dispersed into free-flowing water or
stored in a place sacred to one of the Gods of Light. However, in order
for these methods to be effective, the character performing the deed
must have succeeded on their Monster Knowledge check enough to
know the Vampire Rose's Weakness. If they have not, then the Vampire
Rose will still resurrect itself after 7 days, even if these deeds are
performed.
One of the highest-ranking Barbarous, Drake Counts have a regal air
about themselves that lesser Drakes do not. While they may be the same
as other Drakes physically, a Drake Count's appearance and mannerisms
316
have that noble look about them, unconsciously showing off their status
to other Barbarous. At the same time, Drake Counts are masterful
combatants and tacticians, able to control thousands of Barbarous
beneath them with ease.

[Vampire Form]
As a Minor Action, the Vampire Rose transforms into its original
vampire form. For more information, see the Vampire Rose (Vampire
Form) data. A Vampire Rose cannot transform during the same turn
they use their [Bat Form] ability.
[Bat Dance / Can't]
The Vampire Rose (Bat Form) swarm around a single target in the same
battlefield, dealing Physical damage equal to 1/3 the Vampire Rose's
Current HP (rounded down) + 10. Because of the number and size of
the bats, this attack cannot be Evaded.
[Swarm]
When targeting the Vampire Rose (Bat Form) or another character in

Vampires are immortal Nosferatu, with shining red eyes and sharp,
pointed fangs. In order to keep themselves alive, they must feed on the
blood of humanoids. Many vampires can trace their lineage to the head
of the clan, proven leaders both in and out of combat. However, some
Lesser Vampires are initiated into the clan through a "Sanguine Vow", a
bloody deal from the head of the clan drawn up in order to introduce
new vampires into the clan. These vampires are often leading a number
of Lesser Vampires, as well as a few Leanan Sidhe.
In order to become even a Lesser Vampire, however, A Vampire must
perform a ritual called a "Blood Kiss". This ritual involves giving their
own blood to the vampire-to-be over the course of seven consecutive
nights. After the seventh Blood Kiss, the recipient rises as a Lesser
Vampire, in thrall to their Vampire elder and unable to disobey their
orders.
Vampire Roses are one of a few different branches under the Frau clan,
along with the Vampire Lily, Vampire Daisy, and Vampire Shamrock
branches. Each of these is so named as the vampires will exude a faint
318
scent of the flower they are named after, even if they have been reduced
to ashes by adventurers. Vampire Roses in particular often dress in flashy
red velvet outfits and move with an unearthly grace. The scent of roses is
always about them, and this scent has been known to be disorientating
and can fascinate the simple-minded.

A huge centipede, measuring 1m long all together, that has developed

large fangs. Giant Centipedes will attack humanoids and animals alike,
feeding on their flesh. It's said that a light tonic can be made by crushing
its shell, though the effectiveness of such a drink is in question.

This species of Dolphin grows to around 3m long, and is highly

intelligent, able to speak their own language. While Dolphins often live-
in groups out in the seas and open ocean, they will rarely come to the
coast and attempt to make contact with humanoids. There are some who
have even been trained by humans to allow riders on their back, though
preparations need to be made to allow the rider to breathe underwater.

round, the entangled target is hit (150G)
automatically by the Anaconda, and 10+ Premium

Removing the entangling constriction
requires an (Adventurer Level +
Strength bonus) Check opposed by the Anaconda's Accuracy check.
This check may be made by another person as well. If successful, the
target is not entangled anymore.
A large snake, an Anaconda measures around 2m in length. Its preferred
method of attack is to hide in trees as though it were a large vine, then
drop down onto unsuspecting prey. The coils of an Anaconda can
constrict and suffocate something as large as a cow. The skin of the
Anaconda is prized for its capabilities when turned into leather, and
adventurers are often sent to procure such skins.

A large bird of prey that tends to live in high mountains or canyons. A

Vulture's wingspan can reach up to 3m, and with that it can easily carry
away both livestock and humanoids. Normally, they are content to fly
high above, but when hungry will descend to catch prey to bring back to

As a Major Action, the 13+ Large Fangs x4
Hippopotamus can let loose a loud (600G)
bellowing roar, able to be heard up to
100m away, then rolls 2d. If the result
is 10 or more, then another Hippopotamus will join combat after 1d
rounds, looking to help their comrades. The GM may adjust the number
of Hippopotamuses appearing from this ability (even to 0, if
appropriate), according to the situation. This ability cannot be used on
consecutive turns.
A rotund mammal with thick, pebbly grey skin, a Hippopotamus is
actually made mostly of thick muscle, not fat. While not always traveling
in the tightest of groups, Hippos will rarely travel alone, and others are
little more than a bellowing roar away. They are quite mild animals, only
becoming hostile if attacked, or to protect their young. Once provoked,
however, they are quite powerful animals, and have incredible strength
for an animal of their size. If a Hippopotamus feels like it is outmatched,
it will attempt to call on others to help take down threats tougher than
itself.

[Shell Guard] 9+ High-Quality
As a Major Action, the Iron Turtle Shell (1,200G)
can retract into its shell, increasing its
Defense to 20 for 10 seconds (1
round).
[Cover]
As a Minor Action, the Iron Turtle can cover an ally in the same
battlefield for 10 seconds (1 round), so that the next melee or ranged
attack against the ally is made against the Iron Turtle instead.
A large turtle, ranging anywhere from 1 to 3 m in size, it gets its name
because of its shell being as hard as iron. These turtles are fairly docile,
slow to move and unlikely to cause any harm. However, because their
shell is used in a variety of crafts, overfishing has led to a decline in their
population and the Iron Turtle is becoming harder to find in the wild.

[Trample with Both Feet]
The Elephant may Trample twice during the same turn but must attack
two different targets when doing so.
Elephants are massive mammals, often 5m tall or larger, found in
grasslands and wilderness. Despite its size, they are fairly easygoing and
tend not to attack unless threatened. Some Elephants have even been
trained as exotic mounts, instead of training horses. Their tusks are
highly valued for crafts and fashion, and ivory poachers are a constant
threat.

[Bear Hug] Paws (1,200G)
If the Grizzly Bear successfully hits
with both Claw attacks, they can then
entangle the target. Each round, the entangled target is hit automatically
by the Grizzly Bear, dealing 2d + 16 damage, and cannot move or make
any melee or ranged attacks. Removing the bear hug requires an
(Adventurer Level + Strength bonus) Check opposed by the Grizzly
Bear's Accuracy check. This check may be made by another person as
well. If successful, the target is not entangled anymore. The Grizzly Bear
cannot attack another target while holding a Bear Hug but can release it
as a Minor Action.
[Power Attack]
The Grizzly Bear can deal an additional 4 damage on their next attack.
However, any Evasion Check made by the Grizzly Bear this turn receives
a -2 penalty.
A large bear with grey-brown fur, Grizzlies can stand on their hind legs
to intimidate would-be predators, standing around 2-3m tall when doing
so. In the summer, they will rarely appear to those wandering in the
wilderness, but as the seasons change, they will attack livestock in order
to build up bulk for their winter hibernation. Grizzlies are especially
dangerous during the springtime, as they are ravenously hungry after
their hibernation.
Bear paws, specifically the right paw, are used as ingredients in high-end
cuisine, as the right paw is the one used to scoop honey. It is said that
honey has infused itself into the skin of the bear, giving the paw an almost
sweet, gamey flavor. The left paw, however, is rarely used and often
discarded as there is little demand for it.

they're in the same battlefield or not. When the Body falls to 0 HP or
lower, this effect disappears.
[Entangling Constriction]
A successful hit from a Constrict attack entangles the target. Each round,
the entangled target is hit automatically by the Constrict, and makes all
Accuracy and Evasion Checks with a -2 penalty. This penalty is not
cumulative. Removing the entangling constriction requires an
330
(Adventurer Level + Strength bonus) Check opposed by the Sea Serpent
Body's Accuracy check. This check may be made by another person as
well. If successful, the target is not entangled anymore. This ability can
be used even if the Sea Serpent is already entangling a target.
A giant ocean snake, a Sea Serpent can measure up to 20m long, causing
sailors to believe they had encountered an aquatic dragon. Under normal
circumstances, they are solitary monsters, content to eat fish but will
attack boats when desperately hungry. There are subspecies of Sea
Serpents that are able to live in fresh water, and some cities have even
enshrined a Sea Serpent as the embodiment of a water god.

Krakens are infamous sea monsters, having a bit of a reputation out on
the open waters as ruthless shipwreckers. Towering over most ships at a

Spin Blossoms have been noted to swarm into large areas and have
ruined small communities. Because of this threat, they are often the
target of low-level extermination missions for adventurers, in the hopes
of culling numbers before the blossoms become dangerous. On rare
occasions, the flowers will still rotate even when removed from the stem
and can be sold to the right buyer for a decent bit of coin.

may be made by another person as well. If successful, the target is not
ensnared anymore. This ability can be used even if the Belladonna is
already ensnaring a target.
343
A Belladonna appears at first glance to be a green-skinned humanoid,
but upon closer investigation is actually a plant whose vines have been so
entwined with each other they are able to take the shape of a human. By
taking a humanoid shape, the Belladonna is able to move much more
easily to attack prey, and will drain nutrients from anything it has killed,
animal or otherwise. It will also hide in forests, using its plant body to
disguise itself before surprising prey.
The vines of a Belladonna contain a horrific poison, causing high fevers,
nausea and even death from just a touch. However, the leaves from the
Belladonna's vines can be turned into an antidote for this contact poison,
so it is recommended to slay the Belladonna before the poison spreads
throughout the victim's body.

[Long Branches]
Each Branch can make a melee attack on any target within 20m, whether

[Branch Cover]
If the Yggdrasil Sapling's Trunk would be attacked by a melee or ranged
attack, a spell with "Area: Shot", or other similar abilities, a Branch may
move in the way of the attack, taking the damage instead automatically
(no Evasion, Fortitude or Willpower check needed). Each Branch may
only do this once per round. This does not protect the Trunk from
"Area: Target" spells or wide-area effects.
[Branch Flurry / Can't]
The Yggdrasil Sapling thrashes its Branches at a single target, dealing 2d
+ 5 x (Remaining Branches) Physical damage. Because of the speed and
size of the flailing branches, this attack cannot be Evaded. All remaining
Branches must be able to take a Major Action to use this ability.
In Raxia, the name "Yggdrasil" is known as the name of the great World
Tree, the largest tree known to mankind, that has been rooted in Raxia
since the beginnings of the Schnell Civilization. This young tree is but a
sapling of another Yggdrasil, the result of a seed flung far from the
original tree that has taken root. Though it is young compared to the
original World Tree, the Yggdrasil Sapling is still large enough to scrape
the heavens and remains unable to be accurately measured using current
equipment. It is said that the history of Raxia lies engraved in its leaves
and branches, and those who are able to find even a fallen twig of the
tree can find themselves with a wealth of knowledge.

[Command Weapon / Can't]
The Poltergeist possesses the weapon of a target in the same battlefield
up to 20m away and forces it to attack its wielder. Because the weapon
is attacking the character holding it, this attack cannot be Evaded. The
damage dealt is equal to the weapon's Power + 8, but the attack is
348
otherwise the same as though the wielder used the weapon normally.
This ability cannot command any Gun category weapons.
• Objects
[Rush / Can't]
The Poltergeist causes all remaining Objects to simultaneously rush at a
single target in the same battlefield, dealing 2d x (Remaining Objects) to
the target. Because of the erratic movement of the various Objects, this
attack cannot be Evaded. All remaining Objects must be able to take a
Major Action to use this ability.
Poltergeists are formed when someone passes away while still holding an
unusually strong attachment to a particular object. This object becomes
the core of the Poltergeist, regardless of what the object may be, and
through this object the spirit may manipulate other objects in order to
affect the living world.
Typically, common Poltergeist cores are various pieces of jewelry,
favored items of the original owner, or other innocuous mementos. The
commonality of such objects makes it easy for the Poltergeist to hide its
core among other objects it is manipulating. However, only the core of
the Poltergeist can cast spells or manipulate other objects, so it becomes
very apparent where the core is when combat begins.

pitched Psychic-type wail, causing everyone within 20m to immediately
attack the closest target regardless of whose side they're on. The attack
must be made with the weapon currently wielded, and Active Combat
Feats may be used as normal. If there are multiple valid targets, the attack
target is chosen at random.
[Double Action]
The Banshee may take two Major Actions during each of its turns.
A Banshee is the vengeful spirit of a woman who died in sorrow after
suffering a terrible betrayal, seeking to share its fate with others. Its
screams can shake even the most stoic of adventurers, and it is said that
death comes to those who've heard the wail of a Banshee. Though they
tend to appear as a beautiful woman, Banshees turn as ugly as a mummy
when unleashing their wail on others. Upon defeat, a Banshee will
disappear entirely, leaving behind only beautiful crystals, physical

A Wraith can use the Combat Feats [Guided Magic], [Magic

When using the spell "Wraith Form", this is the form the Conjurer takes.
This data is for a typical Wraith, one whose body has been lost for some
reason, and cannot return to their original form. However, stronger
Conjurers will make for stronger Wraiths, adding their own abilities to
the spiritual form. However, there are some Wraiths who had never
been a Conjurer in their previous life, and these so-called "natural"
Wraiths are curious oddities to those who study monsters.
Though the Wraith's body is formed out of fog and mist, it is unnaturally
cold. In rare cases, the magical power of the Wraith will itself freeze and
coalesce into a solid lump of frozen mana. This frozen mana is so cold
that, under normal weather, it will not melt, making it very valuable

[Ghostly Rush / Can't]
The Meaningless can make a melee attack on any target within 10m,
whether they're in the same battlefield or not. This attack cannot be
Evaded.
A Meaningless is immune to damage from normal weapons and can only
be harmed with silver or magical weapons.
[Unliving Aura]
At the end of each round, all Undead within 10m of the Meaningless
recover 10 HP.
Formed from the countless souls of both humans and Barbarous that
died in combat, a Meaningless is singularly focused on the destruction of
the living. Any living creature, humanoid or Barbarous, is not safe from

the assault of a Meaningless. Though it looks like an unstable fog, it can
control the souls contained within to rise again from death and attack
anything it wishes. Because of this, fighting a single Meaningless can feel
like fighting an entire army.

Dragon Zombies are the reanimated corpse of a dragon, decayed over a
number of years and returned to unlife after being corrupted. Typically,
Dragon Zombies are of lower intelligence due to their brain having
decomposed over years, but rarely there are intelligent Dragon Zombies
capable of speech and magic. However, the organs that would produce
fire in a living dragon have rotted and decayed, and now the Dragon
Zombie can only exhale a rotten miasma.
Often, Dragon Zombies have some sort of unfinished business in the
world of the living, whether to get revenge on their slayer, to protect the
remnants of their plundered horde, or something else altogether. The
need to take care of this business drives the Dragon Zombie, to the point
where nothing will stand in their way in order to accomplish their goals.

Characteristics of Improved Familiars

Improved Familiars have all of the same characteristics of
normal Familiars, as listed under "Characteristics of Familiars"
(see CR I: p. 462-468), with one exception. Improved
Familiars do not have "•A Familiar has no free will of its own."
Instead, Improved Familiars have the following:
• Improved Familiars have their own free will and

can communicate via the Arcana Language.
• The Master may cast spells as though they were in
the location of the Improved Familiar, using the
sight of the Familiar to direct the spell. In this case,
both the Master and Familiar must spend their

If they fail to resist, they immediately (600G)
receive an extra 2d Disease-type
damage, as well as an additional 1d
Disease-type damage at the end of each round. As the disease deals
damage, golden spots spread from the wound, eventually turning the
whole-body gold. If the target dies from this disease, after 24 hours their
entire body is stiff gold, and the character cannot be resurrected.
The Golden Serum earned from defeating an Alchemy Tooth can be
used to cure this disease (but not the HP lost). If taken in advance, it will
prevent the character from catching this disease for up to 24 hours.
[Continuous Attack]
If an Alchemy Tooth successfully hits a target in melee, they may make
a second attack against the same target.
The Alchemy Tooth is a small snake construct that was designed to
deliver poisons and diseases through its bite. This particular construct
has a bacterium that causes what is called the Golden Disease, as it
eventually turns a person's entire body into gold. It is thought that the
ancient wizard who created the Alchemy Tooth did so in order to collect
creatures, obsessing over anatomy that they could not carve themselves.
While someone with the Golden Disease eventually dies and stiffens into
a golden statue, their entire body is not actually gold. However,
unscrupulous salesmen will attempt to sell these bodies as golden statues
in hopes of duping people out of their hard-earned money.

However, it can fly through the air and use the sharp fangs that line its
binding in order to attack any would-be thieves, appearing to laugh after
doing so. It is thought that this is actually a trap monster, built to disguise
itself among other books and protect the wizard's home and research
from intruders. Numerous spells are written within, and the Evil Index
is capable of using these spells in order to protect itself and the wizard's

dismounting is only a Minor Action.
A small ship that can fly through the sky, a Skyship is a wondrous sight
to see soaring through the skies of Raxia. While wreckages have been
found buried deep in old ruins around the Terastieran continent,
nowadays Skyships are far more common to see formed via the Artificer
spell, though they are not quite as durable as the custom-built ones. Able
to hold up to 10 passengers along with the captain, a Skyship is
surprisingly roomy, and some even have sails in order to take advantage
of the wind currents while flying from place to place.

A large construct in the shape of a dragon, the Dragon Fortress is a huge
machine, measuring around 50m long and 15m high. Able to fly at high
speeds, its weapons are able to cause destruction on a massive scale. The
interior of the Dragon Fortress is able to hold 10 passengers comfortably,
and it was thought that these massive machines were used more to defend
against invasions and attempts at declaring war. It is thought to be the top
of the line when it comes to mobile defense and comes outfitted with a
wide variety of weapons. However, its whereabouts are unknown, and so
the leaders of various regions have sent out teams in order to help find
the missing behemoth.

A humanoid golem created entirely out of the magical metal mithril; the
Mithril Golem is a 10m tall behemoth. The sheer amounts of mithril
required to create one make them incredibly rare to find, though it is
assumed they are protecting incredibly valuable treasure whenever one
is found. However, the Mithril Golem is one of the most dangerous
monsters known to exist in the entirety of Raxia, so defeating one and
taking the treasure it, guards is much easier said than done.
In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Conjurer class, they
automatically know the lore and value of the mithril Golem. A Monster
Knowledge check is still required in order to determine the mithril
Golem's Weakness.

A Peluda is a massive beast, measuring 40m long, with the body of a
snake, four clawed legs, and hair like a lion's mane all throughout its
body. Additionally, massive spikes jut out from its back at regular
intervals, whose touch can inject a massive dose of poison into a target
even after the Peluda is dead. However, the poison from these spikes
can be used by researchers in order to produce valuable antivenoms, and
so it is worthwhile for adventurers to go out and collect this monster's
terrible poison. There are also rumors that a monster has singlehandedly
burned down a city overnight in a fit of rage, and it is commonly thought
this monster was a Peluda.

targets. This form of the attack cannot be Evaded, but also does not
damage armor.

While laughing, the Tiki Tiki cannot use magic until the end of their
next turn.
[Unluck]
The first time a character would roll double 6's (other than the Tiki Tiki),
that roll gets changed to double 1's instead (which would trigger the Tiki
Tiki's "Schadenfreude" ability). It is possible to change the roll back to
double 6's using "Sword's Salvation/Change Fate", however this ability
would then affect the next roll of double 6's. If there are multiple Tiki
Tikis on the battlefield, each one of them can use this ability.

As a Minor Action, the Tiki Tiki can split itself into a swarm of smaller

cannot make melee attacks or cast spells but gains the "Swarm" special

When targeting the Tiki Tiki or another character in the same
battlefield, the Combat Feats [Precise Shot], [Guided Magic] and [Magic

The Tiki Tiki daemon is actually a multitude of smaller Tikiras that have
come together to form a much larger and more intimidating presence.
Moving in concert as a single creature, the Tiki Tiki has the appearance
of a human-sized Tikira. While taking this larger form, the Tikiras share
thoughts and perceptions, making it move and act like it is actually one

the Doppelganger to copy the target's physical appearance, including any

of the target's tone and mannerisms, while one hour's observation gives
a complete copy of the target's abilities and memory. This last

still use its original spells, abilities and Combat Feats while transformed,
