 Foreword
My name is Miguel Colon, the author of this project. Ever since I was a little kid, I was taught to be proud of my
Puerto Rican heritage and as such, took frequent long visits to the island every year to visit family. Months at a
time would be spent in Aguada, where my grandfather lived and I would often listen to stories and local folk tales;
the ones that stick out in mind the most are the stories of Juan Bobo, the trickster child and the scary stories of the
chupacabra. Of course, there were also tales of the massive expanse of El Yunque, the rainforest which dominates
part of Puerto Rico’s beautiful landscape. Learning about all the different flora and fauna of Puerto Rico was a
treat for me, and growing up, I couldn’t be prouder that my family came from such a place. Every year while
growing up in the states, I simply couldn’t wait to go back to Puerto Rico, that island I loved so much. Not only
this, but being able to visit replicas of Taíno villages made me think about my roots as an Afro-Caribbean man.
As an adult, I couldn’t help but notice the lack of representation the Caribbean as a whole got in fantasy. Sure,
there were the occasional books about pirates with a tropical flair, but very little of the Caribbean proper, so
I decided to write this book as a way of celebrating my culture and giving the world a small taste of a fantasy
setting that is heavily inspired by not just Puerto Rico, but other island nations in the Caribbean such as Cuba and
Jamaica. Even the name Boricubos is derived from the word Boricua, which is a term used by Puerto Ricans to
refer to each other, coming from the Taíno word Boriken. This entire book is a love letter to the culture I love so
much, and I hope that you grow to love it as well.
— Miguel Colon

 Introduction
Boricubos: The Lost Isles is a different kind of campaign
setting. It is steeped in the legends and lore of the
fantasy Caribbean, specifically the pre-Columbian
Taino and Arawak cultures, though with its own fantasy
spin. The details of the islands and their inhabitants are
fairly broadly drawn, rather than naming every river,
mountain, bay, and forest, with chapter upon chapter
of ancient history, this book is set up with adventure
and at-the-table play in mind. The focus of the book is
on how you can use this setting at the table. There are
adventure hooks and conflicts and secrets aplenty in
the GM’s Guide section of this book, but the majority is
devoted to exciting new player and GM options to use,
including fantastic new playable races with detailed
social interconnections across the setting, dozens of
class archetypes and options, dozens more new spells,
magic items, monsters, equipment, and more, all ready
to unleash upon your players. The action of Boricubos
takes place against a backdrop of conflict between the
gods, menacing invaders from the deep oceans beyond,
an ancient rivalry between dragonkin and the peoples
of the archipelago, and so much more. We will be
expanding the islands and oceans of Boricubos in future
adventures that delve more deeply into the secrets of
the islands beneath a sweltering sun and a caressing
breeze, and we hope you find them an exciting place
of adventure whether your heroes were born among
these jewels of the ocean or braced the encircling seas
to encounter this place and its people from somewhere
over the horizon.
War in the Tropics
In Boricubosan legend, it is said that there was originally
just one deity, the sea goddess Ataba. She ruled over
the world in peace but grew lonely after millennia.
Therefore, she created two other deities to be her sons
and the gods of a new creation: land. Guacando and
Yokaho, as these new gods were named, were twin
brothers who populated the land and the heavens with
new creatures and new gods who in turn did the same.
Thus, Ataba was pleased with her decision and ruled
over the seas without interfering with her sons’ domain.
But with new life comes conflict, with conflict
eventually transforming into war. Yokaho wanted to
remain neutral in the struggles of mortals, however,
his brother Guacando wanted to aid those he believed
most righteous in their causes and so abandoned his
domain as a god of the land and became the god of war.
Years passed after this decision was made, and though
Yokaho was not pleased with his brother’s decision, he
understood it and made an agreement with Guacando.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

Yokaho would not interfere with his brother’s new
role as the god of war so long as the original mortals
created, those on the archipelago of Boricubos could
live in peace with each other, never to come to blows.
And so, the people of Boricubos would only have
struggles with other lands, protecting their own
territory and never venturing out to fight in wars they
had no business in. Boricubos was a paradise. But one
day, Guacando went back on his word. He sparked
conflict between the races of Boricubos after he grew
jealous of his brother’s creation of the wolákani along
with the goddess Boina and confronted Yokaho. This
sparked a conflict between Yokaho and Guacando
which escalated until the two met in the field of battle
with one another. They fought for hundreds of years
and despite being the more experienced combatant,
Guacando lost the upper hand and was mortally injured
by his brother. His last words were “They must grow
stronger for what is to come.”
Ataba was grief stricken. Her two sons had not
only fought one another, but Yokaho had slain his
own twin. Though Yokaho claimed this act to be an
accident, Ataba would not hear his words. Not wanting
to destroy her only son, she instead called out to the
mortal races on Boricubos most in tune with the sea,
the air-water elemental hybrid hurákani and the ocean-
dwelling baracúden to make war with the races most
in tune with the land, the earth-fire elemental hybrid
wolákani and the human tribe known as the taínem.
Other races on the island such as the flowery anabaguas
and the frog-like coquían decided to stay neutral in the
conflict, while the opportunistic iguaca chose to make
themselves mercenaries in this proxy war of the gods.
And so, once a paradise, Boricubos quickly erupted
into civil war. Heroes and villains exist on both sides,
and even amongst the individual races, there is no
clear decision as to what to do about the conflicts their
gods have forced them into. There is one thing for sure,
however. War is hell. And it is here to last.
The Races of Boricubos
There are seven primary races of people within
Boricubos, with each playing an important role in the
cycle of life on the island as well as their roles in the civil
war that has recently broken out. The first and most
common of these races are a tribe of humans called the
taínem. Before the war, their expansive populace made
them the de facto leaders on the island of Boricubos,
with many towns being structured around their priests
known as behiques as a council that advises the cacique
(chief) of each community. Though other races are
allowed to be behiques and caciques, however the
 position is traditionally filled by a taínem except in
communities deep in the forest and underwater. This is
because the taínem sustain their way of life by growing
crops and fishing by the coasts of each island on the
archipelago, with trade happening between villages of
different races in order to gain materials and crops that
a singular village could not get by themselves.
The main ally of the taínem in the war and before
the war are the wolákani, hybrids between earth and
fire elementals given a greater sense of sentience by the
gods. Whereas the taínem mainly provide for each of
their villages by producing food through crops, fishing,
and occasionally hunting, the wolákani are builders
and craftspeople, aiding in their own way by creating
homes, weapons, and jewelry, even teaching the other
races on the archipelago how to tattoo themselves using
superheated bits of wood or bone. The opposite of the
wolákani are the hurákani, who were made up of the
gods fusing water and air elementals and giving them
a soul. The hurákani were primarily magic users on
Boricubos, helping out whenever mundane methods
were ineffective and especially adamant in aiding the
defense of the archipelago’s borders. Before the civil war,
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
6
they were fun loving people, laid back and attempted
to ease the burdens of other people by helping with
miscellaneous tasks wherever they could so that they
too could live a fulfilling life. This changed with the
war, and now the hurákani and wolákani are at each
other’s throats, and though they were once the greatest
of allies, they are now the bitterest of enemies.
Ever since the war started the hurákani have found
fast allies with the baracúden, the primary warriors
on the island and defenders of Boricubosan shores.
Boricubos has always been at threat from the adaro and
sahuagin peoples, who each come from foreign waters.
Lately they have settled in nearby waters, waiting to
attack the people of Boricubos whenever they can in
order to steal resources and make the archipelago their
own, however, the baracúden have pushed them back
at nearly every turn, defending the archipelago to the
best of their ability. This resilience and bravery is not
to be forgotten however, the baracúden have been less
and less able to defend the borders from the adaro and
sahuagin invaders as the civil war moves on as they
now have to worry about threats from the land as well
as the sea.
 Meanwhile on the mainland, honing their skills
as warriors are the iguacas, avian humanoids who
are self-proclaimed masters of magic. According to
Boricubosan legend, they were the ones who originally
invented magic, but the gods found it far too powerful a
gift to leave in the hands of one race, and so distributed
it amongst the other races of Boricubos. The iguacas
meanwhile were soon forgotten as the original creators
and never given the proper respect that they deserve; as
such they grew jealous of the other races and before the
war were rather introverted. Once the civil war began,
however, they were quick to offer up their services as
mercenaries to both sides of the war in an attempt to
prove themselves as worthy warriors and mages and
climb the social ladder of Boricubos so that when
the war is over, the other races will respect them and
perhaps even see them as the new leaders of the island
rather than the taínem.
But there are two races who want nothing to do with
the war: the anabaguas and the coquían. The anabaguas
are a race of flower-like people who are the oldest race
on the island, and though they often refuse positions of
leadership, they are happy to offer their ancient advice
to the other races whenever possible. Recently, however,
they have begun to suffer a disease known only as The
Blight, which is killing off all the elders. Though they
keep this a secret such that only the coquían know the
extent of the devastation caused by The Blight, around
twenty-five percent of the anabagua population has
been wiped out by this mysterious disease. Anabaguas
who have survived The Blight have attributed the war
on Boricubos as the cause of the disease, stating that
as the first race on the archipelago, so long as things
in Boricubos are out of balance, they will continue to
die off. As such, they try their best to negotiate peace
wherever possible and keep themselves safe by isolating
themselves in Boricubos’ massive jungles.
Finally, there is the main ally of the anabaguas, the
coquían. Though they are also neutral in the war, they
are heavily sought out by all races on the island as
behiques who deal with spirits of the dead who can deal
with aiding the passage of the dead onto the afterlife
and the creation of zemi, idols which host the spirits of
the dead. These zemi are necessary to appease powerful
people who have died in life and do not want to be
forgotten by the family and friends they left alive. Not
all zemi are beneficial however, with some becoming
malicious constructs that attack those who leave them
neglected for too long. Whenever this happens a
coquían behique is called to talk down the zemi, or in
the worst-case scenario, destroy it completely.
These races once lived in harmony, but the civil
war changed all of that. Boricubos’ borders are now
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
7
ripe for the picking by the adaro and sahuagin, and
recent developments show that dragons once lived in
or near Boricubos making them a potential threat for
the future; will they rise again, and if so, what does the
oldest race on Boricubos, the anabaguas, know about
them? They claim nothing, but the anabagua elders are
all dead from The Blight, so there is no telling what is
the truth.
The Islands of The
Archipelago
There are many islands which make up the Boricubosan
Archipelago, though there are five primary ones which
are settled. The largest is known as Datiao, an island
dominated by jungle and rivers which run throughout
the island. This island is primarily populated by
anabaguas and coquían as its jungles are the most
untouched by the other races. The people of Datiao are
proud of their waters, be they the rivers and lakes which
dot the landscape or the beaches which are inhabited
by the baracúden as one of the primary islands that
have been attacked by adaro and sahuagin invaders.
The island remains for the most part untouched by the
civil war, as the other races respect the autonomy of the
coquían and anabaguas, however, there are doubts as to
how long this will last until one side or another drags
both the other races into the war. Some speculate that
if this happens, the anabaguas and coquían would form
their own faction and fight against both sides in order
to restore the peace their own way.
To the Northwest of Datiao is an island known
as Karayan is largely uninhabited by the natives of
Boricubos, having lost that territory to calculated adaro
and sahuagin attacks ever since the civil war started.
The only race truly defending the island’s inhabitants,
the taínem, were the baracúden, and since they are on
opposite sides of the civil war, they recently stopped in
hopes of taking the island back in the future when the
war is won. The remaining taínem, dismayed that the
baracúden would use such a tactic to weaken them, fled
to the other islands on the archipelago, leaving entire
villages and cities intact. The only ones remaining to
fight against the sahuagin invaders are the coquían
who are fiercely territorial of the jungles on the island,
and the anabaguas who stubbornly refuse to leave their
cities deep in the jungle.
To the Southeast of Datiao is the island of Lukiyo,
which is dominated by mountainous terrain in the
jungle and most prominently a massive volcano named
Boina’s Breath, named after the goddess of the sun and
volcanos, Boina. This island is populated by taínem
and wolákani, but the primary race on this island are
 the iguacas who call the mountainous jungle home.
It is notable that Boina’s Breath is a perpetually active
volcano which has never erupted in such a way that
it has harmed the inhabitants of the archipelago,
even if it has forced quite a few of them to evacuate
from their locations throughout the millennia. The
people of Boricubos pray to Boina daily that she gives
them ample time to flee from the destructive power
of the volcano and she has always obliged them this
request. Another distinguishing feature of Lukiyo is
that it is the birthplace of magic on Boricubos, as the
mountains of this island are where the iguacas not
only set up their villages today, but also where they
invented magic, or so it is said. There seems to be truth
to these words as the mountaintops of this island are
perpetually supercharged with magical energy and
spells which should have minimal effect instead turn
out to be far more powerful than intended. Despite all
the iguaca mercenary groups such as Freedom’s Flight
and those who oppose them all being located on this
island, none of them ever attack each other’s homes in
some sort of unspoken agreement to leave the fighting
to other battlefields.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

North of Lukiyo is the smallest of the major islands
but perhaps the most densely populated as all the races
of the archipelago call it home. Kukachi as the island
is known, used to be an island of peace and cultural
blending between the races of Boricubos, where the
Boricubosan capital of Caríbite is located. But ever
since the war broke out, there is no safe place on the
island, with even the capital of Caríbite being the
site of destructive attacks and large-scale battles and
occupations. As a coastal city, Caríbite is home to
several thousand people of all different races, including
the anabaguas and coquían who have moved outside
of their usual jungle environment to blend with the
other races. Now, however, people in Caríbite live in
fear just to walk outside of their homes as the smallest
disagreement between two people can turn into bloody
conflict, especially if they are of races which oppose each
other in the war. More than a few of innocent bystanders
have been accidentally or purposely drawn into battles,
making it a dangerous place to live nowadays with
frequent aerial bombardments from magical warriors
such as iguacas, taínem fishermen being attacked by
baracúden while they are simply trying to do their jobs,
 and homes being razed to the ground by religious zealots
who claim that they are simply doing their gods’ will.
On the other side of things, the taínem and wolákani
have recently been polluting the waters in Caríbite in
hopes that this would harm and weaken the baracúden
and hurákani who live by the shore. Control over the
city frequently flips back and forth between sides of the
war, and recently there has been a mass exodus out of
the capital to safer areas of the archipelago.
Finally, to the Southeast of Kukachi is the island of
Choreto, which is another major battleground in the
war. Before the war began, it was the site of the primary
temples of all the gods in the Boricubosan pantheon,
so the area is hotly contested, with a combination of
people attempting pilgrimages to these temples while
there are battles going on all over the island. The
temples of Ataba and Yokaho are largely guarded by
warriors of their respective faiths making them prime
targets for attacks by rival factions, with each side
hoping that by taking the temple of their opposed god,
that they would be able to end the war much sooner
than later. So far, this has yet to happen, but there have
been bloody battles fought over these religious sites
that do not seem to end.
There are many other islands in the archipelago,
each with their own names and traditions, with battles
occurring on them from time to time, but the ones
aforementioned are by far the most prominent. There is
one smaller island, however, that is gaining prominence
in the archiepelago is Piraguen, a small island to the
West of Kukachi. Before the war, there was little that
was special about it, but now it serves as a place for
refugees of the war to come and lay down new roots.
Perhaps most importantly, besides the refuge that it
offers survivors of battles and raids on various villages
are the dragon skeletons which have been found in
deeper parts of the waters by baracúden hoping to
escape conflict. Before this, dragons had only been a
rumor, something that adaro and sahuagin spoke of
from distant shores, but these were real skeletons which
have been unearthed, showing that the dragons may
have lived on the Boricubosan archipelago long ago.
With this discovery, many turned to the anabaguas, the
supposed oldest race on the island, but with The Blight
having killed all the anabagua elders who would have
remembered a time where dragons roamed Boricubos,
none can say for sure how those skeletons got there
or if the dragons would become a threat in the future.
After all, no one knows what lurks deep in the waters of
Boricubos, not even the baracúden who are acclimated
to living by the shores.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

Problems in Paradise
The main conflict which has the people of Boricubos
occupied is by far the civil war between the races on the
island. With Ataba’s chosen races on one side, Yokaho’s
on the other, iguacan mercenaries fighting for both
sides, and the anabaguas and coquían caught square
in the middle, this war has taken a toll on everyone in
Boricubos, from civilians, to priests, to warriors. It is
impossible to overstate the effects that the war has had
on people, from entire villages to being burned to the
ground to religious persecution where members of
certain faiths were killed because of their religious beliefs
or just their race, this being a highly racial war, after all.
Not only this, but differences within the same racial
groups have begun to arise, with the baracúden being a
prime example of this. When given the call to destroy the
taínem and wolákani, many members of the baracúden
race were conflicted; they were meant to be defenders of
all people on the archipelago, not fight against them. At
the same time, who are they to ignore mandates from
the gods themselves? This has led to a split into two
separate factions amongst the baracúden: the religious
zealots known as Ataba’s Faithful and the group that
opposes them at every turn known as the Defenders of
the Archipelago. Ataba’s Faithful are some of the most
extreme members of her faith actively hunting down
those who worship Yokaho amongst their own people
and readily joining the front lines on any battle with
the taínem and the wolákani. Though Ataba is meant to
be a good goddess, her subtly condoning the actions of
Ataba’s Faithful in imprisoning and executing members
of other faiths and races has led many, especially the
Defenders of the Archipelago, to believe that the goddess
has gone mad in the grief of losing her son. As of yet,
Ataba’s Faithful and the Defenders of the Archipelago
have come to blows but have not killed each other for the
bonds of racial kinship still stand, but some wonder how
much longer this tenuous peace will last.
Also worrisome for some is the ever-expanding
power of the iguacas and their mercenary companies,
especially the one known as Freedom’s Flight. While
Freedom’s Flight not so subtly favors Ataba’s side of the
war, only ever siding with the baracúden and hurákani
in conflicts, there are many other iguacan mercenary
groups who choose to side with Yokaho’s chosen
people. In supporting both sides of the war, the iguacan
people are collecting quite a bit of social capital and
material possessions such as magic items which would
by far make them some of the most powerful people on
Boricubos. Though most people dismiss the idea that
the iguacas would ever do anything to harm the people
on the archipelago, there are many taínem who feel that
 their time as the dominant race in Boricubos is swiftly
coming to an end. Freedom’s Flight themselves make it
clear that they support Ataba’s side of the war because
should they win, that means the iguacas would be the
de facto masters of both the land and the sky, a prospect
which is fine by some so long as it results in peace, but
scares others as they fear that the iguacas would make
cruel rulers who have not forgotten the gods stealing
away their gift of magic and distributing it to all the
other races. Freedom’s Flight denies such claims, with
its leader, Reapok, stating that she would lead the
people of Boricubos to greater heights than ever before,
revolutionizing the island with magics yet unseen by
the rest of the world and finally help rid the seas of the
adaro and sahuagin threats.
And threats they are. The adaro and sahuagin
appeared in Boricubos at different times, but quickly
became fast allies with one another, hoping to take
the land and sea for themselves, using the sahuagin
as shock troops to clear the land of any valuables and
bringing them to their underwater lairs. So far this has
proved an effective strategy by the coalition, especially
considering that the civil war in Boricubos has left the
island of Karayan undefended and ripe for the taking.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
10
In an event known as The Week of Blood, sahuagin and
adaro forces attacked the island in full force, oftentimes
simply bypassing areas that would normally have been
defended by the baracúden but were abandoned because
of the war effort. Countless taínem and wolákani died
that week, and those that survived quickly fled to other
islands. Part of the reason the combined threat of the
adaro and the sahuagin is so effective is because the
sahuagin have seemingly developed ways of creating
magic items which allow them to breathe perpetually
on land, allowing them to roam the jungles and cities
of the taínem and wolákani freely. Meanwhile, the
adaro are fearsome combatants within the water, with
one adaro being more than a match for the standard
hurákani or baracúden warrior.
Besides the violence caused by the war and vicious
outsiders, the Blight has affected the anabagua
population to such an extreme that an estimated
twenty-five percent of all anabaguas have died. This
pandemic has no clear cause and worse yet, no cure,
with the anabaguas and coquían working together to
search for one but to no avail. Worse yet, the prayers
to the gods have left them with no answers regarding
The Blight, meaning that they have to find out for
themselves how exactly to deal with such a malady.
Selfless as they are, the surviving anabaguas are less
so worried about themselves dying off, thought that is
a concern, but rather, they are afraid that The Blight
will mutate and eventually start affecting other races
besides themselves. This is a fear that the coquían
share, as Boricubosan legend states that the other races
started off as seeds planted by the anabaguas. If this is
true, then it is not a stretch to believe that The Blight
could spread to other races.
Adventure Ideas
• The high priest of an anabagua village has just died of
The Blight, and it is necessary for a new high priest
to be named. Because of the secretive nature of
the deaths of the anabagua elders, however, the
party is contacted in private by an anabagua
ambassador who has heard of the party’s
exploits. He explains that the ritual
site where the new high priest has
been chosen has been haunted
by zemi, objects such as
statues and weapons with
the spirits of the dead stuck
inside of them. They explain
that the sudden dying off of
the anabagua elders has left
their spirits restless, and he
wants the party to either destroy
 the zemi, thus releasing the spirits from their physical
prisons, or find a way to exorcise them entirely by
putting them at peace.
• The party is approached by a baracúden who is
desperate, particularly if there is a baracúden in
the party. He explains that some of Ataba’s Faithful
and the Defenders of the Archipelago have started
a war of words which he soon believes will escalate
into violence if the party does not intervene. When
the party arrives at the sight, they find that Ataba’s
Faithful had been attacked by a rogue wolákan and
won’t be satisfied until he has been found and brought
to justice, however, the Defenders of the Archipelago
are afraid that if it is up to the members of Ataba’s
Faithful, they’ll kill the first wolákan they find, hence
the argument. The Defenders of the Archipelago
plead with the party to find the guilty wolákan so that
they can stand trial.
• The party is approached by three coquían druids,
who immediately greet them by saying it must be
divine favor that they met together. The clerics were
in search of someone to settle a dispute between a
group of hurákani and wolákani. The two groups are
about to come to blows near a coquían village, and
the druids are afraid innocents will be caught in the
crossfire. They ask the party to help settle the dispute
peacefully, hoping that by healing the tensions
between the two races, they can also begin healing
the land.
• The party comes across a group of hurákani who
appear wounded. They came across an ancient zemi
in the forest and instead of paying it the proper
respects, decided that it would be a good idea to free
the spirit trapped inside, and hope that a coquían
could exorcise it, as there was no one around to
worship it anymore. As it turns out, the zemi was
abandoned for a reason, as it contained a malicious
spirit that attacked them before they could reach the
coquían. They beg the party to find the zemi or the
spirit that was trapped in it, and put a stop to it before
it harms anyone else.
• A group of iguacas calls the party over and explains
that they are in a bind. They are supposed to fight
against a group of baracúden and hurákani later that
day along with a group of taínem who hired them, but
their commander made a mistake and sent iguacan
mercenaries to both sides of the conflict: themselves
and another group. They explain this mistake to the
party, along with the fact that they cannot get out of
their obligations to fight, without good reason, or it
would reflect badly on their mercenary company.
They propose an idea to the party: join them to
fight the other group of iguacas while they focus on
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
11
fighting the baracúden and hurákani, and the party
will be paid handsomely for their assistance. If for
one reason or another, the party refuses this offer, the
iguacan mercenaries ready their weapons and say,
“Well, I think that being ambushed on our way to
the battle is as good a reason as any not to show and
aid our allies.” With this, they attack the party half-
heartedly. It is a DC 15 Wisdom (Insight) check to
see that they are not fighting with their full strength.
Once they are at about half health, the iguacas quickly
surrender and tell the party where their encampment
is so that they could get a reward out of ransoming
them as prisoners.
• The party encounters a group of taínem having a
serious debate with a group of coquían. The party
gathers that the taínem need more land because
they have been pushed away from the coasts by
baracúden members of Ataba’s Faithful, a militant
religious group that took Ataba’s mandate to destroy
all of the taínem and wolákani to an extreme and
are showing no quarter to any they encounter. The
taínem here are simple farmers, not warriors, and
they simply want to clear a bit of land in order to
be safe from Ataba’s Faithful. The coquían, however,
have their bows drawn and are forcing the taínem
to either adapt to farming and gathering, or leave
back to their coastal city that they just escaped
from. Upon seeing the party, the taínem plead with
them to talk some sense into the coquían, as they
are simple commoners, not warriors who could
handle the dangers of the jungle. And if they go
back to their coastal city, they are just liable to be
attacked and killed by members of Ataba’s Faithful.
The taínem promise to pay what little gold they have
in order to help them resolve the situation they just
need somewhere safe to live.
• A wolákani smith approaches the party and seems
pleased to have found a group of adventurers,
exclaiming, “The gods must be smiling upon me
today!” They explain to the party that there is a secret
material that they use in some of their weapons to
give them extra strength and durability beyond what
mundane materials alone can provide, however,
the site where they get the metal has been overrun
with disturbed spirits from a battle which occurred
there not too recently between a group of taínem and
baracúden. The smith asks for the site to be cleared
so that they could get back to the location and gather
some more of the precious ore, promising to create
weapons for the party beyond anything they’ve ever
seen before if they succeed.
 Deities of Boricubos
The pantheon of Boricubos was harmonious and had
no true conflicts until the death of Guacando by the
hands of his brother Yokaho. Whether or not Yokaho
truly meant to kill his brother remains to be seen, but
Ataba certainly thinks that the best way to punish her
son is to attack his chosen peoples on the Boricubosan
archipelago. This has led to a fracturing of the pantheon
into different sects: those who side with Ataba, those
who side with Yokaho, and those who simply wish to
remain neutral. The people of Boricubos still care for
their gods deeply, and even though the war is on racial
lines, there are still plenty of behiques that prove it is
possible to worship a god that is largely trying to destroy
their race; these priests are largely seen as traitors to their
own people, however, and are not accepted by the other
side of the conflict either so usually act independently
towards their own goals. Still, it is not impossible to see
a taínem behique, for example, fighting alongside their
supposed enemies the baracúden and the hurákani
because they all happen to worshp Ataba.
since the death of Guacando, however, she has been
the patron to those who have faced grief in some form
or another, especially the death of a loved one. She has
also gained significant following for those looking for
righteous vengeance when wronged.
Her temples tend to be constructed on structures that
sit over the ocean and her clergy varied in race. As the
first goddess, she commands much respect despite the
fact that she was the one who instigated the civil war
now plaguing the archipelago. She was once known to
be a good-natured goddess, but she has grown much
more vindictive ever since the death of her child,
protecting the weak and punishing those who she feels
have wronged her chosen mortals. Even her behiques
(priests) have noted the change in her demeanor and
fear that if it changed much further, she would no
longer be the shining pillar of morality that she was
once known to be. Some go even further and say that
she has already fallen, pushing a war onto mortals that
they have no business to be fighting, as the war should
have remained in the heavens.

Yokaho
Alignment: Neutral Good
Symbol: Three palm trees
Portfolio: Brotherhood, Harvest, Jungles, Land, Plants
Yokaho is a god that is focused solely on his duties
maintaining the land and everything on it. He is a
quiet god that keeps to himself for the most part
and was caught completely off guard by his mother’s
declaration of war on his chosen mortals. He claims
that when he went to battle with his twin brother, he
did not mean to kill him, however an errant blow left
his brother dead instead of incapacitated. Many of his
followers believe him and see him rallying his favored
races as a means of self-defense against his mother,
who herself believes herself in the right for wanting to
punish him for killing Guacando.
Most of Yokaho’s temples are located by the borders
of Boricubos’ jungles, with wild animals strangely
never causing any trouble for those traveling to and
from these holy places. Some temples are located even
further into the jungle, with these being seen as even
more special to the god. The anabaguas have been
praying to him more often as of late to aid them in a
pandemic that is spreading amongst their people only
known as the Blight.
 Races of Boricubos
So long as the people of Boricubos have existed,
there were many cultural differences between them,
but also a deep understanding that each played an
important role in the natural ecosystem that was the
archipelago. This of course changed with the civil war
that is brewing on the islands of Boricubos, but there
are many who remembered the harmony that existed
before the conflict between the gods. The anabaguas
and coquían served as protectors of the jungle, making
sure no one race desecrated the lands. The iguacas
advanced magical studies beyond what was thought
imaginable. The baracúden protected the borders
from the invading adaro and sahuagins. The taínem,
hurákani, and wolákani all made the coasts and cities
a lively place, building where they were permitted by
their brethren and increasing not only in technological
prowess but in culture as well, as heroes and priests alike
were remembered through story. But now that peace
and harmony is broken. The races of Boricubos seem
more fractured than ever before, and it is unknown if
things can ever go back to the way they were.

Anabagua
The anabagua people are the cultivators of the land here
in Boricubos. It would be fair to state that we are the land
incarnate and that all other races owe their existence to
our continued wellbeing over the years. After all, who is
it that replants the forests when the others take for food
and lumber? After all, who is it that taught the people of
the land to properly treat the soil in order to avoid the
land from becoming barren? It was us, the true inheritors
of the land who were here before all else, and who shall
be here after all others have left this world. Nature will
always prevail over the destructive forces of civilization
and we are just the harbingers of that message.
–Anabagua Druid
Before all the races on Boricubos came to be, there
were the anabaguas, plant-like humanoids who are also
known as the “Eldest” because of their unique position
as the archipelago’s original inhabitants, created by
the gods to watch over not only the archipelago of
Boricubos, but also the people who would be sent to
populate it in future years. In the Boricubosan creation
story, it was the anabaguas themselves who were given
seeds presented by the gods in order to plant the other
races that now populate the archipelago, all save for
the hurákani and the wolákani, who arose from the
elements naturally many centuries later. Because they
are the Eldest, many of Boricubos’ other races often
look to them as spiritual leaders and see what advice
the anabaguas give before acting.
The Beauty of the Land
The anabaguas take pride in their dominance over
the jungles of Boricubos, often seeing themselves as
superior to the other races because of their positions
as leaders of the land and growth on the archipelago.
They tend to hide this haughtiness well around
others, disguising it as knowing better for the people
of Boricubos due to their long lives and well known
tradition of saving the other races during times of
crisis, such as during hurricanes or volcanic eruptions.
Though they cannot physically affect the earth like the
wolákani or divert waters like the hurákani, they know
the secrets of the archipelagos better than anyone else,
including the magically protected sanctuaries that
stay pristine in any conditions.
But what the anabaguas are most proud of is being
the first race created by the gods to populate Boricubos,
a fact that they never fail to mention if it becomes even
tangentially relevant. In the rare interactions mortals
have with the gods, it is usually a divinity speaking with
one of the anabaguas, which only cements the idea that
the anabagua people are, in fact, special. Because of their
status as Eldest, the coquían, iguaca, and taínem often
consult them before jumping headfirst into decisions
regarding any important matters. Though with the
gods currently divided and at war, this position has
become tenuous, with less and less people coming to
the anabaguas for advice.

guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

15
 With the current war in the heavens, the land of
Boricubos is dying, and with them, the lifespans of the
anabaguas have shortened dramatically. What used to
be a several-thousand-year lifespan has been reduced
to about two hundred years today, a fact which was only
discovered when the oldest of the anabaguas began to
wilt and die of old age, all at the same time. This event,
known as The Blight, has ravished the population of the
anabaguas, and because of this, the current population
of anabaguas are made up of only the youngest and most
inexperienced to make decisions. Though they act just
as if they are just as knowledgeable as their deceased
elders, they are a race in panic, not sure if they can live
up to the legacy their ancestors left behind.
Delicate Flowers
The anabaguas are plant-like people to take the form
of the orchids which are native to Boricubos. Though
their leaves may be different colors, ranging from white
to bright pink, all anabaguas have the same distinctive
five white petals that are attached to their heads,
surrounding their humanoid faces. The body of an
anabagua is thin in frame, and green, just like the stem
of a flower, with their arms and legs resembling giant
green leaves. At the bottom of an anabagua’s feet are
roots that they use to scramble along the ground, and
also plant themselves in order to absorb nutrients. An
anabagua plants new seeds every 50 years or so in order
to grow new anabaguas as their children.
There are other anabaguas, however, that have
different looks to them depending on where they live
and what they consume to survive. There are anabaguas
who live in coastal waters in harmony with baracúden.
These kelp anabaguas are much less naturally beautiful
than their orchid cousins, however, they make up for it
in sheer flexibility. There is also a carnivorous variant
of the anabaguas that resemble the pinguicula plant,
which rather than getting their nutrients from the
environment, attract insects to them to stick onto their
skin and slowly digest. These pinguicula anabaguas
resemble orchid anabaguas, however, have a noticeable
sticky sap on their bodies.
Draining Caretakers
The anabaguas all have the ability to transfer life from
one organism to another, using necrotic energies to sap
attackers or predators from their life forces in order to
channel that into positive energies which can be used
to grow the natural environment in Boricubos, or heal
themselves if need be. There are some anabaguas who
refuse to use this power, seeing it as a violation of life,
but the youngest anabaguas see this as just a gift to be
used in order to preserve the few lives they have left,
after their elders have begun dying off.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
16
The Great Jungle
The anabaguas people are expected to be responsible
for the jungle on Boricubos as a whole, and with that
responsibility comes a great deal of pressure. With the
elders dying off without necessarily having passed on
the practices of keeping the jungle safe from the greed
of other races, it is up to the younger generations to find
their own methods.
And so, the Eldest have taken to weaponizing
what they call The Great Jungle, making it deadlier
for the people who live in the coastal regions of
Boricubos to traverse and therefore destroy with
their civilizations. So instead of meeting with
other racial and community leaders and teaching
them about how to properly care for the jungle,
the anabaguas have been creating all sorts of traps
within the jungle’s most highly travelled routes,
such as deadfalls, falling log traps, and even spiked
pits. They have even gone as far as digging up and
replanting certain dangerous flora near safe ones in
order to trick bypassers into deadly scenarios and
agitating local wildlife whenever intruders to the
forest are near so that they attack said intruders.
These are not necessarily meant as malicious attacks
on others, but they are legitimately the only ways
the younger generation of anabaguas knows how to
protect the jungle.
Anabaguas Names
The anabaguas all take names which either describe
themselves, or a plant that they particularly enjoy,
with each anabagua choosing their own name when
it comes of adult age. Before they become adults, they
simply refer to themselves as “this one” or “that one”.
All anabaguas are female, so there is no distinction
between names.
Names
Beautiful Orchid, Colorful Lily, Flowing Kelp, Powerful
Magnolia, Red Hibiscus, Ripe Avocado, Slender Grass,
Sour Lemon, Strong Vine, Tall Palm
Society & Lands
The anabaguas tend to live in communities, often within
secret glades found within the jungle, away from other
races. This is to keep both a sense of privacy so as to
enjoy the unspoiled beauty of nature, and so that they
could hide their rapidly dwindling numbers due to the
elders dying off in an unnatural fashion. The anabaguas
are said to be in touch with the land more than any
other race, so when the land is sick, the anabaguas are
said to suffer as well, though it has never happened
to this scale, where nearly 50 percent of the anabagua
 population was wiped out in the past three years alone.
Because of this, they have become even more reclusive
than they were before, hoping no other race takes
advantage of their relative weakness at the moment.
This has not worked to their advantage as other races
have only become more and more curious about the
anabaguas’ situation.
Each anabaguas village is led by the eldest anabagua
in said village, a tradition that has held despite The
Blight killing off the anabagua elders. This is to keep
some semblance of normalcy despite these hard times,
and because it is hard to simply change a mindset that
has lasted for thousands of years.
Relations
The anabaguas have always been a reclusive race, but
this has only been amplified by their elders dying off
en masse. Even so, they are widely respected by the
coquían, iguaca, and taínem, who often come to them
for advice, whether it be because of disputes with other
local communities, spiritual advice in godly matters, or
even the most trivial of tasks. The elder anabaguas used
to do this with ease, however, the younger generation
has taken this role rather reluctantly, still believing
themselves superior minds to think about such matters
as anabaguas are wont to do, however, being much more
cautious and less decisive in their decision making for
fear of making mistakes. The baracúden tend to leave
the anabaguas alone, seeing them as neither friend nor
foe, and even live with the kelp anabaguas in harmony
as they neither have to fight for territory nor resources.
The hurákani and the wolákani are a different
matter entirely, with the anabaguas seeing them with
jealousy, as the anabaguas used to be the only race in
touch with nature before these living elementals were
created about three hundred years ago as the newest
races for the gods. They especially despise the wolákan,
who they feel represent all that is wrong in the world:
technological process, the advance of industry, and the
spread of civilization into the natural world.
Baracúden
We rarely interact, except for the kelp anabaguas, who
live in communities with them. The baracúden don’t try
and eat us like they might with other races, because we
are more akin to plants than meat creatures. In turn,
our kelp sisters help keep these ocean communities clear
from any harm that might come from the coastal cities,
or from deeper within the depths.
Coquían
They, unlike so many other races on Boricubos,
understand what it is like to respect nature. They come
to us for advice often and willingly, and we gladly give it
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
17
to them. Sometimes, we even allow a select few of them
to stay in our communities to learn exactly how to help
treat the land and pass on these teachings to the taínem
people, who have grown less and less likely to visit us as
of late.
Hurákan
Though they are indeed nature incarnate, they will
never have the title of the first being created by the gods
to have such an honor. The hurákani are by no means
a dangerous race, but to praise them like they are
anabaguas is just ridiculous. So what, they can blow a
little wind and water, that’s just fine with us. What they
represent though, the force of a hurricane, is dangerous.
We shouldn’t act on this just yet, but there may come a
day when we have to.
Iguaca
Like the taínem, the iguaca have been coming to us less
and less as time goes on. It’s such a shame too; they used
to be wonderful students, loving the ways of nature and
taking care of it with the utmost importance, but now
they have been tricked and deceived by the wolákan, who
promise industry and the spread of civilization into The
Great Jungle. The fact that they play mercenaries for both
sides, is just a sad reminder of how far they have fallen.
Taínem
We are most disappointed in them for associating with
the wolákan as they do, but there is still hope for them.
Many still traverse the jungles in hopes of finding us and
gaining our advice, but we must be careful. If they knew
to what extent The Blight has diminished our numbers,
we would certainly be getting a visit from their wolákan
puppet masters and be forced to go to war.
Wolákan
How dare they think themselves our equal! They claim to
be the earth, but are they not also fire? The same fire that
would threaten to destroy the jungle if left unchecked?
And their talk of civilization growing and advancing
into the jungles, deforestation, and encroaching on our
natural habitats! It’s hideous to think about what they
would do if left to their own devices. They need to be
stopped at all costs.
Religion
The two main deities that the anabaguas worship are
Yokaho, the god of the land and harvest, and Boina,
the goddess of the sun and volcanos, though most
anabaguas tend to disregard the second part of her
domain in favor of the first.
The anabaguas regularly hold festivals in these two
deities’ honor, believing them to be the most important
for all life on Boricubos. After all, what would the
 people be without land? And what life would there be
on said land if not for good harvest? And how could the
harvest come to be if not for the sun?
Adventurers
Most anabaguas adventurers are rarely seen outside of
the jungle, not enjoying going to the coastal cities which
they see as the potential destruction of the archipelago.
That said, there are a select few anabaguas adventurers
who are not so choosy about where they adventure,
and simply relish the opportunity to help the races they
see as needing their protection. As a result, most of the
Eldest become druids, hunters, and rangers. A select
few also become barbarians, shifters, and spiritualists.

 Baracúden
It is honestly demeaning for the other races who share
Boricubos’ lands to believe us baracúden mindless
savages. They think us warlike, when they have never
seen us do anything except protect our borders, they
think us violent because our entire existence is made up
of self defense against threats they never have to deal
with. The truth is, in their shoes, I might have thought
the same. But I’ve fought the terrors of the deep. I’ve seen
with my own two eyes what we are actually protecting
the archipelago from. And the revelation is frightening.
What I fight against would want nothing more than to
wipe out the baracúden as well as the rest of the races in
order to make the archipelago their own.
–Baracúden Paladin
At first glance, the baracúden are merely a strong and
proud race of warriors who are constantly fighting for
territory against other races that come from deeper
waters. The truth is, the average baracúden’s life is one
of struggle against creatures of the depths, without any
hope of help from the surface races of Boricubos. The
baracúden are strong because they have to be in order
to save their communities and families as well as the
people who live on the surface, while seeing their work
unappreciated. But now, with the war in the heavens,
the baracúden people are conflicted. Do they answer
the call of the gods, and pick up arms against their
fellow Boricubosans? Or do they ignore their deities races have of the baracúden. Because their existence is
and act as they always have: as protectors against the made up of fighting for territory against these dangers,

against all such threats.
Fearsome Appearance
The only problem with this is the perception the other
The baracúden very closely resemble the fish known as

guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

20
 barracudas, which are named after the baracúden. They
all have long, slender, yet powerful bodies that grow
up to 7 feet long, but only about 2 to 3 feet tall. While
swimming, they tend to move in a spear-like fashion,
perfectly straight forward, using their webbed hands to
move through the water faster. The baracúden do not
actually have any feet, so whenever they must venture
on land, they are forced to slither along, again like a
snake, staying upright using their strong core muscles.
The most prominent features of any baracúden,
however, is most certainly its razor-sharp teeth that
they can and often do use as weapons.
But though this describes the average coastal
baracúden quite well, it also describes the variant
subspecies that have emerged over the years. One variant
actually lives in the deeper waters of the ocean near
Boricubos, and have adapted quite nicely to the depths,
as their eyes are able to pierce the deepest darkness.
There are also the commonly known “landhunters”
who have adapted in such a way that they have lungs as
well as gills, and so can live on land quite well. All three
subspecies of baracúden look quite similar, however,
with the differences being minor enough to miss upon
first glance. The coastal baracúden have smaller teeth
than their deep-water cousins, but swim more fluidly
through the water. The deep water baracúden have a
small film over their eyes which some believe is related
to them being able to see in the dark. Finally, the
landhunter baracúden are known for the perpetually
dry look of their scales, which they do not have to soak
regularly like their cousins in the seas.
Bloodthirsty Warriors
Though they tend not to show it in the presence
of others, the baracúden have a love for battle that
surpasses that of any art or music that they come up
with. This is mostly seen by the baracúden using
their teeth as weapons and gaining enjoyment out of
gnashing at the flesh of their foes, before killing them
with more conventional weapons, such as spears or
razorpoint swords. It is almost as if tasting the blood of
their foes allows them to more accurately target them
with follow up attacks with hand crafted weapons.
To Fight or To Defy the Gods?
The baracúden have been put in a very precarious
situation due to the war in the heavens. While they
would very much like to follow their religion to the
fullest, and listen to their primary goddess Ataba,
they cannot do so without falling into the stereotypes
associated with their race, and by extension, failing their
goals as protectors of Boricubos. To fight against the
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
21
people they swore to protect would be as unthinkable
to the baracúden as is disobeying a direct order from
Ataba, the First Goddess.
This has caused a great rift in baracúden society,
where religious zealots known as Ataba’s Faithful have
appeared, willing to fight against the wolákani and
the taínem, however, a separate branch of baracúden
known as the Defenders of the Archipelago have taken
to fighting against these religious paragons in order
to maintain the peace of the archipelago. So far, these
clashes have not ended in any deaths, but some predict
that as the war in the heavens rages on, the war on earth
will grow bloodier.
Baracúden Names
Baracúden often have names that directly translate
from Aquan into Common. Some such names might
translate into “Defender”, “Guardian”, or even grander
names such as “Oathkeeper”. A baracúden’s name is its
pride and joy, and most take to emulating them.
Female Names
Agoja, Cajara, Figui, Guala, Kajula, Mejoni, Pingui,
Rajila, Sajori, Tengua
Male Names
Aronguo, Bejillo, Darelom, Eguojo, Guolom, Ijulo,
Lijimo, Oguopo, Quojilom, Wujo
Society & Lands
All baracúden, except for the landhunters live in
underwater cities near on land coastal cities. The
baracúden have managed to build underwater
structures from rock and kelp, as well as great
cathedrals and statues dedicated to Ataba. Though the
water erodes these structures over time, the baracúden
love nothing more than to rebuild once the ocean’s
currents have worn the structures down to where they
are unrecognizable. This keeps the baracúden busy
with tasks other than warfare with the sahuagin and
the adaro.
The cities that the baracúden live in are often
populated by not only other baracúden, but hurákani
and kelp anabaguas, who they live with in relative
peace and comfort, as there is enough food and space
to accommodate everyone, not to mention the fact
that each individual race gets its resources in different
manners. Overall, only those who live in baracúden
cities can truly appreciate that they are not simply
warmongering brutes.
The strongest warrior of each baracúden city is
normally the cacique, with the position of leader
changing infrequently. Either the current cacique is
 challenged to an honorable and non-lethal duel, usually
due to an unpopular decision being made or due to
old age, and must fight to keep their position, or the
current cacique steps aside to allow the challenger to
take the leadership position as the city’s new cacique.
Relations
The baracúden have strained, yet not unfriendly
relations with most of Boricubos’ inhabitants, especially
those who do not understand the importance that the
baracúden play in keeping the balance between the
sea and the land. The baracúden try their very best to
stay neutral in matters on land, however, the mandate
by the goddess Ataba to fight against the taínem and
the wolákani have made that close to impossible. In
a similar manner, Yokaho, the god of the land and
harvest, has made it clear that the taínem and the
wolákani should be fighting against the baracúden
and the hurákani, and so there have been unprovoked
attacks against baracúden towns and cities. This has led
to rising tensions in the baracúden community, as there
are many such as Ataba’s Faithful, who believe that the
baracúden should no longer remain neutral, despite
their past history as being the protectors of Boricubos.
Anabagua
Though we don’t interact with the ones who dwell on
the surface, the kelp anabaguas are sure and true allies
who would never allow the archipelago of Boricubos
to be invaded by the sahuagin and adaro threats.
Unfortunately, their numbers have grown thinner for
some reason, and when asked about it all we can get
are murmurings about some calamity that occurred
called The Blight. We certainly hope they could push
through their troubles; it would be a shame to lose
such a valuable ally against the monsters of the deep.
We also very much appreciate the fact that they are
staying neutral in the war in the heavens. We don’t
want another ally turned enemy.
Coquían
They tend to stick to their treetop jungle villages, so it
is hard to say exactly where they stand in the grand
scheme of things. We hear that they plan to stay neutral,
just like the anabaguas, which is good for us, though we
know that they are warlike in their own ways. In fact,
they might be a wildcard in this holy war, swayed to
help one side or another. We should definitely send in
emissaries to ensure they, like the anabaguas, remain
neutral in the conflict.
Hurákan
Though our goddess Ataba says that the hurákani
should be our allies, they have done little to show this
other than living in our communities and helping us
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
22
against the terrors of the deep. This is not to say we
are ungrateful to them, only that we should be hesitant
entering a holy war with them as our allies. Still, the
movement of Ataba’s Faithful is growing larger and
larger by the day, and more and more of us baracúden
are looking to join the fight with them against the taínem
and the wolákani. We cannot blame them either. It was
a mandate from Ataba herself.
Iguaca
What despicable creatures. Though they used to be in
touch with nature and used their innate magic for the
good of Boricubos, they now act as sellswords who fight
for the highest bidder. And in this war on earth, that looks
to mean they are going to be fighting on both sides of the
conflict, especially when they find out what treasures are
hidden away beneath the waves. We’d rather not deal
with them at all than become friendly with them, but
still, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And from the
looks of things, we are going to need lots of friends in the
near future.
Taínem
It is a shame that Ataba ordered us to kill them on sight.
Though some baracúden will follow her orders without a
second thought, they have been our allies for many years,
in trade and even occasionally helping fight against
the sahuagin and adaro. They should at least be given
humane treatment if we are to fight them.
Wolákan
We had no significant problems with the wolákani before
the mandate from Ataba. Now, with tensions higher than
ever before, we have had plenty of skirmishes with them
on both land and sea. If they see us as enemies, despite
all we have done to protect Boricubos, then they will pay
for their foolishness.
Religion
The baracúden primarily worship the goddess Ataba,
the goddess of the waters, who they believe is the
patron deity of the entire baracúden race. They shun
her son, Yokaho, the god of the land as they see his
domain as naturally exclusive to her own. Where there
is land, there is no water, therefore, there is naturally to
be conflict between the two. These tensions have only
been raised by Ataba and Yokaho declaring war on
each other in the heavens, and the other gods choosing
sides. Though not particularly zealous before the war
in the heavens, the group known as Ataba’s Faithful has
risen up as a militant branch of Ataba’s will, in order
to do her bidding in this war on earth: attacking the
wolákani and the taínem.
 Adventurers
Most baracúden have a propensity for more martial
focuses, fighting with spears and razorpoint swords. Due
to their many battles with creatures from the deep, many
baracúden become fighters, barbarians, and slayers though
the more religiously minded, such as Ataba’s Faithful have
been known to become paladins and warpriests.

 Coquían
It’s not as if we don’t care about the holy war that’s going
on between the various other races on the archipelago. No,
far from it, we want it to be over as soon as possible and
put it behind us as quickly as possible. The anabaguas are
dealing with their Blight, whatever that is. The iguaca are
killing each other for a bit of coin. Even the baracúden
are in revolt, fighting each other over whether or not they
should join the war to begin with. This isn’t even getting
into the fact that the wolákani are trying to develop
weapons of war rather than for domestic life, and the poor
taínem are being recruited en masse for a war they never
signed up for and arguably have nothing to do with! Why
do we stay out of the war? Because our involvement will
only cause more problems in the long term.
–Coquían Bard
The coquían are a froglike race that act as spiritual
advisors in all matters relating to death and the
creation of zemi on Boricubos. The zemi are cultural
artifacts related to all of the archipelago’s residents
and are physical items that contain various sorts of
spirits inside of them, usually the spirits of ancestors or
disquieted undead which have been trapped within the
mortal world for one reason or another, usually relating
to their cause of death. The coquían create zemi for the
people of Boricubos in order to honor their ancestors
and help exorcise zemi that were created by accident
or for ill intent. It is said that there even some coquían

 Anabagua
The only other race to be completely neutral about the
war in the heavens. They have their own problems to
deal with, The Blight and all, and can’t afford to lose
any more lives. They should really be more honest about
their situation though. If the other races only understood
that their war is literally killing the Eldest, then they’d be
sure to come to some sort of peaceful resolution. As it is,
the anabaguas are suffering and dying off in droves, a
situation which must be remedied by bringing peace to
the land or finding some other solution.
Baracúden
They don’t bother us, and we don’t bother them, and
that’s how we’d rather keep things. It’s the teeth, you
know? It’s like they’re always eyeing you to be their next
meal. Okay, okay, that’s unfair, we know that they have
that whole “honor to guard us from the creatures of the
deep” thing going on, but, honestly, how much of that
is really what they say it is, and how much of it is just
them trying to expand their territory? We’re not ones to
take a guess but, with this war going on, they might be
doing just that on the actual archipelago of Boricubos:
“expanding their territory”.
Hurákan
Elemental beings of wind and water, the elements of a
hurricane. Now we’re not saying they are as destructive
as a storm of that nature, but what we do know is
this: their presence along with that of the wolákani are
killing the Eldest with The Blight. If the hurákani really
cared about the archipelago of Boricubos, they’d leave
and never come back; it’s not as if they don’t have the
ability to live anywhere in the ocean they want. Until
they do that, they are officially enemies of true nature.
We don’t care that the gods declared a racial war to go
along with their holy war, this madness must stop, and
it must stop now!
Iguaca
Poor, poor, creatures. Once they were like us and went to
the Eldest for every conceivable problem there is. But they
have been corrupted over time, and I’m afraid this war in
the heavens showed their true colors. They’re nothing but
mercenaries who care about material possessions rather
than the effects this war is having on the archipelago
and its people. They side with whatever side pays them
the most in food and supplies, forgetting the true face of
nature and turning towards corrupting civilization with
every passing day.
Taínem
Ah, how foolhardy the taínem are. They once held such
promise as the true inheritors of the land but have been
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
27
tricked by the wolákani into abandoning nature entirely.
With this betrayal, we can understand why the Eldest
are trapping the jungles the way they do; however, we do
believe there is hope. The taínem were once the anabaguas
greatest students, even more so than us coquían! It is not
impossible to believe they can be brought back into the
fold and relearn what they have so obviously forgotten,
hopefully saving the anabaguas in the process.
Wolákan
These creatures of earth and fire claim to be servants of
creation itself, saying that without the destructive power
of the volcano and fire, there would be no archipelago
of Boricubos. That there would be no civilization.
Though we agree with the first bit, there is no way that
we can simply allow them to continue on attacking the
baracúden as they have been or going into destructive
battle with the hurákani! When the elements are out of
alignment, the land starts to die. If they are so proud of
the destructive power of volcanos, why don’t they ask the
great goddess Boina to make them a new archipelago, so
this silly conflict can finally come to an end?
Religion
The only god that the coquían truly worship is
Maketaori, who they see as their patron deity as he was
not only the first of the dead, but also a coquían in life
as a mortal. It is through this worship that the coquían
are so close with the spirits of the dead, and thus the
zemi that the spirits are placed in.
The coquían do not have a good relationship with the
other gods, particularly those that have chosen a side
in the war in the heavens, believing the feud pointless
and not caring if Yokaho did indeed murder his twin
brother Guacando, or fought him in a fair dual to the
death. They believe Ataba’s proclamation of war against
her surviving son, and Yokaho answering in kind are
the cause of The Blight, which is ravishing the anabagua
population, and so all gods complicit in the war are not
gods worth worshipping.
Adventurers
The coquían normally adventure to find a cure for The
Blight, which is destroying the lives of their Eldest allies,
though sometimes adventure to put a stop to the war
by any means necessary. They make excellent rangers
and rogues due to their skill with finesse and ranged
weapons, though many have been known to become
bards and mesmerists because of their proficiency with
songs and music. Even more become mediums and
occultists due to their racial obligations to take care of
the zemi on the archipelago.

 Hurákan
There are a couple of misconceptions about we hurákani
that I’d like to clear up. First of all, no, we are not
lumbering brutes with a minimal amount of intelligence
like air or water elementals. No, I didn’t study to learn
my magic, but if you ask if that means I’m an idiot, I’m
liable to shoot a lightning bolt at you. Secondly, under no
circumstances are you allowed to ask how it feels to hover
above the ground. I might as well ask you how it feels
to walk. See? Now we both feel stupid. Finally, and most
importantly, never, ever ask to put your hand inside our
bodies to see how it feels. How would you like it if I did
that to you? I’m willing to be quite a lot that it’ll hurt as
much as that lightning bolt I threatened.
–Hurákan Sorcerer
These elemental beings of water and air personified
are known as “living storms” to some, and “elemental
monsters” to others, but their proper name is the
hurákani. Unlike their namesake, the destructive force
of a hurricane, the hurákani are actually a quite jovial
and safe people to be around, despite their prankster
antics. And pranksters they are. The hurákani take life
one day at a time, not too seriously, though are quick
to lash out at those who they feel might be a threat to

guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

 Storms Personified
The hurákani can be classified into three main
categories: gale hurákani, lightning hurákani, and
typhoon hurákani. All hurákani look like air elementals
that have taken on humanoid form, with specks of
water flowing through them. Hurákani have twisters
near their bottoms, which appear to be similar to
miniature tornados. All hurákani have these twisters,
whether they are on the ground or travelling the air
and cannot control the winds or water that come out
of them, which causes them to make a mess wherever
they travel. Gale hurákani, like all their kind, float
several feet off of the ground and though they do not
have faces in a common sense, have features that form
what appear to be eyes and a mouth. Gale hurákani are
the least in tune with the element of water, which leads
to the lightning hurákani, who are balanced perfectly
between the elements of water and air, being darker
in color, almost as black as thunderclouds with small
bits of electricity flowing through them as well. Finally,
there is the typhoon hurákani, who are least in tune
with the element of air and seem to be swirling masses
of water with brief gusts of wind shooting out of them.
Breath of Fresh Air
Though they cannot slam into creatures with the
force of an actual storm, the hurákani do take after
their elemental brethren in that primarily attack
using their bodies, though they have no problems
whatsoever handling and manipulating objects such
as manufactured weapons and armor. The greatest
strength a hurákani has, however, is its ability to literally
suck the air from a creature’s lungs and fill them with
water, suffocating them if given enough time.
Good-Hearted Pranksters
Though fierce warriors and deadly mages when they
have to be, the hurákani are naturally good natured
and fine people to be around, if not a bit mischievous.
Though they rarely turn to crime in order to let off
steam, they will cross certain personal boundaries that
they may regret later, whether it is because others will
be angry with them, or because they genuinely feel bad
about what they have done when they see the reactions
of the people they’ve affected. An example of a hurákani
prank would be moving a family’s zemi around their
home when they are not looking, in order to make the
family believe that the spirit inside the zemi is angry
with them.
The hurákani tend to be silver-tongued, however, and
get away with their pranks with nothing more than a
few laughs, especially because their tricks tend not to
hurt people. There are a few hurákani, however, that are
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
31
not as good-natured, and go from town to town, causing
havoc in town and leaving before they are discovered.
Hurákani Names
Hurákani do not have genders as they are naturally
formed during storms, so there is no difference in
between the names. They normally take on names
in Aquan or Common that generally mean the same
thing: something related to storms, winds, or the sea.
Aquan Names
Ajona, Dojaro, Fajora, Guaropo, Kuala, Majoro,
Nilijom, Panguo, Tipliro
Common Names
Deafening Roar, Even Breeze, Heavy Gale, Jolly
Storm, Kiss of Wind, Low Squall, Major Cyclone, New
Typhoon, Parting Clouds, Thunderous Lightning
Society & Lands
The hurákani tend not to have towns or cities of their
own, due to their recent arrival on the archipelago of
Boricubos but have been able to fit in naturally within
society due to their friendly nature and the general
receptive welcome they first received when they
were placed on Boricubos and fought the massive air
elemental Guabanca created in a fit when she was done
creating the race alongside Ataba. They lived in coastal
cities along with the taínem, in underwater baracúden
cities along with the kelp anabaguas, and even in the
jungle along with iguacas.
This all began to change, however, with Ataba’s
mandate that her newest children and the baracúden
should fight against the taínem and the wolákani,
who they had friendly relationships with before the
god Yokaho killed his twin brother. Over the past few
years, since they received this message, the mass of the
hurákani population has moved into the sea along with
the baracúden and kelp anabaguas, hoping to avoid
unnecessary conflicts with any other races.
Relations
There was once a time when the hurákani got along
with every race, laughing and joking along with them
and integrating into whatever towns they came into.
However, with the start of the war in the heavens,
this has changed relations with the taínem and most
importantly the wolákani most dramatically. The
hurákani and wolákani used to be the greatest of
friends, seeing themselves as two halves of the same
who despite the fact that they were created by different
gods entirely. But with the war in the heavens spilling
down to earth, there is a brewing enmity between the
two groups that started with a village of hurákani and
 wolákani being destroyed and most of its inhabitants
being killed, with members of both races saying that
the other side started the conflict. After this event,
there has been open war between the hurákani with
their allies and the wolákani with their allies.
Anabagua
We definitely understand their importance to the
community, however, they are far too proud of being
the Eldest race. We’re just as much a part of nature as
they are, but they like to shove that we are a relatively
new race in our faces. This doesn’t stop us from going to
them for aid and advice every now and then, as is only
respectful; after all, they’ve been on Boricubos for a lot
longer than we have.
Baracúden
The baracúden were kind enough to let us into their
underwater cities and help with their problems with
the adaro and sahuagin. Sure, they are a bit uptight,
but they are great allies to have in general and due to
the war in the heavens. They are amazing fighters and
have taught us everything they know about combat. Still,
there is a rift between Ataba’s Faithful and the Defenders
of the Archipelago, which is causing large problems in
their community. We wish more would turn to Ataba’s
doctrines and commands, but we’ll take whatever help
we can get.
Coquían
Just a few years ago, they were fine with our existence,
but now they seem to despise us, spitting wherever we
go, exiling us out of their communities for the smallest of
pranks, and even getting a bit hostile if there are more of
them than us. We try to keep our distance nowadays, as
that’s all we can do.
Iguaca
Being winged creatures, you’d really think they’d have
sided with us in the war, but I suppose this is a conflict
between land and sea, with Guabanca staying neutral,
or at least harassing us all equally. It’s no wonder they
decided to turn into mercenaries and fight for both sides.
We really can’t blame them one bit.
Taínem
It’s a shame that we have to fight them. They used to
be some of our strongest allies, and now it’s come to
bloodshed. Still, not all of them are as excited about the
war as the wolákan, and so some actually leave us alone
rather than harassing us. It’s like with the baracúden,
it seems that they have splintered into factions with
some believing that peace is achievable, while others
are blindly following the orders of Yokaho. We hold no
enmity towards them as a whole, as even in conflict, they
try not to kill us, but take us prisoner.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
32
Wolákan
They are enemies to be destroyed. They were once our
friends, but it was their fires that started the conflict
between us, and now that bond has been severed. We
will not stop until the very last of the wolákan have been
punished for their crimes against us.
Religion
Even though Ataba is the patron deity of the hurákani
and the goddess of waters, they do not solely worship
her, also paying respects to the goddesses Guabanca,
the goddess of storms and winds, as well as Maroyal, the
goddess of the moon and tsunamis. They believe that
by appeasing these last two goddesses, they could avoid
incurring their wrath in the form of natural disasters.
Adventurers
Most hurákani are naturally talented with the magical
arts, not having to study for their magic so much as
they will it into existence. It is for this reason that most
hurákani become bards, skalds, and sorcerers. There
are some, however, that take up more martial pursuits
and become barbarians or bloodragers.

 Iguaca
There are a million and one reasons why the iguacas
are interested in the war in the heavens, and just about
all of them have to do with material possessions. We
are natural warriors, being able to engage forces on the
ground without setting foot on the ground with our bows,
and when we run out of arrows, many of us are practiced
in the magical arts, and so are able to rain down arcane
destruction on our enemies. Why shouldn’t we sell
skills like that in the war to end all wars? And more
importantly, why shouldn’t we hedge our bets and choose
to support both sides, unlike what the anbaguas and
coquían are doing and choosing to support neither? It is
simply a matter of positioning ourselves as the linchpin of
Boricubosan society
–Iguaca Wizard
There is a saying amongst the iguacan people: “Why
bother putting off tomorrow, what you can do today,
especially when what you can do today will help you
tomorrow?” It is because of this saying that the iguacas
have formed into differing paramilitary organizations
shortly after the war in the heavens started and begun
hiring out their services as mercenaries in this war. As
far as they are concerned, the war is simply a means to
an end; no longer will the iguacas be treated as simply
a lesser race that has no culture or special talents of
their own. Instead, people will see the iguacas for what
they always wanted to be: a proud military-oriented
race that can strategize, plan, and win a war. The first
war they plan to stop and win is the war started by the

guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

36
 noticing who the strongest among them is. The cacique
in these mercenary groups is almost always a mage of
some sort, and they are in charge of all the military
planning as far as plans of attack, which members of the
mercenary groups fight for which side of the war, and
all the finances that come into the company’s ownership.
This is not a complete control, however, and the cacique
will often take on advisors who they believe feel best
represent the interests of the mercenary company.
Relations
The iguacas generally have a low opinion of all other
races on the archipelago, believing them all to be
favored by the gods while they were disregarded and
cast aside. This doesn’t stop them from pretending to be
friendly with all the different races, however, and doing
business with them when it comes to matters of magic
and warfare. As the greatest mages on the archipelago
of Boricubos, they are indispensable to the rest of the
archipelago’s inhabitants, a fact that they make sure to
remind others of often.
Anabagua
The Eldest are certainly worthy of respect, however, we
have no idea why they have not decided to choose a side
in the war or even sell themselves out as mercenaries as
we have. With their help, any one side would quickly
overwhelm the other, so them not joining at all seems
illogical. The only explanation is that they can’t join
the war for some reason. Which, while unfortunate for
them, means that they won’t be getting in our way of the
takeover of Boricubos once this war is over.
Baracúden
Annoying to fight against due to them enjoying staying
in the water, but it’s always a pleasure to be fighting by
their side. With their physical might and our magic, we
make quite an excellent pairing. As far as we know, they
have no aspirations to rule the archipelago and would be
happy to stay in their coastal cities, guarding us against
whatever threats they claim come from the bottom of the
ocean, which suits us well. Yet another race we don’t have
to worry about trying to kill us when the war is over. That
said, those Ataba’s Faithful folk might try and retaliate
against us, should they win the war, so we have to be
ready for that possibility.
Coquían
The coquían are interesting little creatures. Not only do
they refuse to choose a side in the ongoing conflict and
the war in the heavens, but they seem to stick by the side
of the anabaguas closer than ever before. They, of all the
races, may prove to be a problem when we make our move
to take over this archipelago. They cling to the Eldest like
little children do to their parents and may try to put the
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
37
anabaguas up as the rightful rulers of Boricubos. But
those are problems for the future.
Hurákan
Honestly, they are odd creatures. Too playful in war for
our liking, but they come up with interesting strategies
that usually result in absolute chaos for the enemy. The
mercenary group Freedom’s Flight seems to favor them
above the other side of the conflict, and they’re our de
facto leaders in this whole conflict, so we better hope that
they chose the right side to back. If not, there are plenty
of other mercenary factions backing the taínem and the
wolákani to say that they don’t speak for us.
Taínem
They are the race which most use our services in war, however
they are by no means weak. Our thinking is that they are
conserving their energy for some greater threat. Perhaps
a play for power, like we’re thinking of after the war in the
heavens is over? That would make sense, as they are the most
populous people on Boricubos. Even so, it doesn’t seem in their
nature to come up with such a crafty plan. They already have
everything they could ever want, except perhaps more land.
In fact, we’d be happy to give them exactly that if they just stay
out of our way when this is all over.
Wolákan
Uninteresting. They have crafted new weapons of war,
which is commendable, including the ever-useful magical
materials they make, however, if that is all they have to
bring to the table, then they won’t pose much of a threat
to us when we iguacas take control of the archipelago.
Religion
Ironically enough, most iguacas worship the goddess
who spurned them and refused to stick up for them to
Ataba, Guabanca, the goddess of the winds and storms.
The iguacas are absolutely devoted to her worship,
believing that if they impress her enough in the war on
Boricubos, that she will acknowledge them and give
them domain over the skies.
Other iguacas have actually taken to worshipping
the now dead god Guacando, who they believe serves
their ideals well. War and conflict are how the iguacas
plan on becoming a recognized and respected part of
Boricubosan society, and so they praise him for starting
the war that will get them to their desired positions.
Adventurers
The naturally intelligent iguacas are renowned for
their talent with magic, and so many take to becoming
alchemists, arcanists, and wizards. Others still train
tirelessly with the bow and when joining mercenary
companies, magi, rogues and fighters are well respected
 members. There are very few, if any iguacan sorcerers,
as they tend to be born without any magical gifts,
having to learn them with training.

 Taínem
I have been the cacique of my village for thirty years now,
and each year I seem to have my faith tested just a bit
more. Now, with Yokaho asking me to go to war with my
Boricubosan brothers and sisters, I cannot be sure of my
decisions anymore. For so long, we were told that peace
and unity was the way forward, but now even this very
notion is being strained. Is this a test from the gods? If so,
it is one that we are failing miserably, with so many dead
already due to the countless battles we have been in. Are
we truly supposed to fight others, solely based on their
race and patron gods? If so, then I want no part of this,
even if it does mean I lose my divine gift. Yokaho forgive
me, I cannot do as you ask of me.

taínem do not have their own place in Boricubosan
society, as they have learned before any other race how
to bend the land to their will in both matters of hunting
and farming, combining both in order to feed their
population and ensure that the land remains cultivated
and fresh, techniques which they learned from the

 important decisions. Sometimes, there will be a single
cacique for multiple cities or villages, and they are
interconnected by trade or familial relations. The only
time a taínem cacique abandons their position is either
when they die or when the village votes them out of
the position, and even then there is usually a set line of
lineage: the cacique’s eldest son or daughter will become
the next cacique, but if there are no direct offspring of
the taínem cacique, the entire city or village holds a
vote to see who will become the next cacique.
Relations
Before the war in the heavens and on earth, the taínem
had good relations with every race, especially the
anabaguas, baracúden, and the coqúian. They would
not only live in harmony, but have the same goals, with
the taínem helping the Eldest and coquían maintain the
jungle of Boricubos, and aiding the baracúden in their
plight against the sahuagin, adaro, and other creatures
which come from the depths of the ocean in order to do
the Boricubosan people harm.
But ever since the wolákani have arrived on the
archipelago, they and the taínem have become fast
friends, angering the anabaguas and coquían greatly,
believing the taínem to have betrayed everything they
have been taught about respecting the land. This is in
part due to jealousy over the wolákani on the Eldest’s
part, and partially due to the fact that the taínem have
begun cutting down small portions of the jungle in
order to make room for more farmland.
The taínem have a strange relationship with the iguacas,
who they pay to almost exclusively fight their battles for
them. This is not because the taínem do not know how
to fight, but because the taínem do not care for fighting
races they considered their friends not a few years ago.
Anabagua
They have been disappointed in us as of late, we know,
but that doesn’t mean we don’t still respect them and
our ways. It’s a shame they’ve taken to trapping the
jungle, but can you really blame them? They have
constantly warned us about the dangers of destroying
the jungle, but it’s also not our fault that we need more
land, especially now that the coastal cities have become
far more dangerous to live near!
Baracúden
In our experience, there are two sorts of baracúden.
There’s Ataba’s Faithful, who claim to be religious folk,
but are really just zealots who are looking for any excuse
to go to war with us and the wolákani. Then there’s the
Defenders of the Archipelago. This second group seems to
be as concerned about the war as we are, however, telling
the two apart at a glance is difficult. Honestly, when you
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
42
see a baracúden approaching you, it’s best to get ready
for a fight just in case. Hope for the best, prepare for the
worst, as they say.
Coquían
Even more so than the Eldest, these creatures have taken a
militant approach to protecting the jungle, even attacking
some of our villages which they claim encroach on their
“natural environments”. We’re sorry that civilization
marches forth. We need more land due to a rising
population and a war that has made our previous homes
hostile, so if we have to take the jungle by force, we’ll do it.
Hurákan
I will never understand how relations between us and
them became so bad. It is because of the gods’ mandates
that we kill each other? What if the gods ordered us all
to bury ourselves alive, would we do it? Of course not! So
why the hurákani are acting even more violently than the
coquían and baracúden combined is unthinkable. At this
point, we’re convinced that there’s no such thing as a good
hurákani. They have to leave this archipelago, and never
come back or die.
Iguaca
We hire them often to fight our battles for us. It’s not
because we can’t fight on our own, but because it is far
more convenient to let the mercenary groups do their
thing and put their own lives at risk than to allow us
taínem to fight and die in a war we never asked for. At
least the iguacas seem to enjoy fighting.
Wolákan
They have taught us so much in the few lifetimes
they’ve been here, but their greatest gift to us has to
be the production of magically enhanced bone, stone,
and wood. It can be used for farming, cutting our way
through the jungles, or more importantly now that the
war in the heavens has started, weapons and armor.
We are better equipped than our enemies thanks to the
wolákani, but that won’t matter if Freedom’s Flight, that
iguacan mercenary group, keeps siding with the hurákani
and baracúden.
Religion
Before the war in the heavens began, the taínem
were perhaps the most eclectic when it came to their
faith, worshipping all gods, from Ataba, to Yokaho,
to Guabanca and her children Boina and Maroyal,
and especially Maketaori in order to ensure that their
zemi were properly cared for and remained stable. The
only god that they did not worship was the now dead
god Guacando, who they believed went against the
fundamental philosophies of the taínem: peace and
discourse over war and discord.
 After the war began, however, the taínem began to
worship Yokaho and Maketaori almost exclusively.
They worship the first god in an almost cautious
manner, because although Yokaho declared war on
his mother Ataba, most taínem believe that this war is
not about them, and simply want to stay out of it the
best they can. They worship Maketaori because of all
the dead that they lost in the past few years due to the
war, hoping that they all become zemi or restful spirits
rather than undead or evil spirits.
Adventurers
It is nearly impossible to say what type of adventurer a
taínem would be, as it depends almost entirely on their
place in society. Hunters become druids or rangers,
emissaries become bards or paladins, spiritual leaders
become clerics or shamans, and warriors become
fighters, rogues, or barbarians. Others take to occult
practices and become mediums, occultists, and psychics.

 Wolákan
I just can’t believe that we wolákani are the sole cause of
everyone’s problems in society. We didn’t ask to be made.
We didn’t ask for a divine mandate from our creator to
be ordered! But that is exactly what happened. We were
born out of the peak of Boina’s Breath, not because we
asked the goddess and Yokaho to create us, but because
they wanted to create a race of their own to balance
out what Ataba had done. Not only can I not blame
them, I am happy they did. I get to destroy the enemies
of my god and goddess personally, and without mercy.
People sometimes forget that about we wolákani, and
the volcanos that we were born out of. We are creators
at heart, yes, just as Boina’s Breath created the land
we walk on today, but in order to create, first we must
destroy what was already there. And what I see on this
archipelago are my gods’ enemies.
–Wolákan Barbarian
Elemental beings created out of both fire and earth, the
wolákani are the perfect expression of both creation
and destruction: with the element of earth being used
as a symbol of land expansion, and creation, such as in
pottery, and the element of fire representing raw and
untamed emotion, as well as the destruction of anything
that it touches. But sitting down and getting to know a
wolákan might surprise some, who expect them to be
nothing more than brutish savages with no appreciation
for the finer things in life. The truth couldn’t be further
from that. While all wolákani are equipped and ready

 Relations
Before the war in the heavens began, the wolákani got
along with most races, not counting the Eldest and the
coquían, who despised them from the very beginning.
They were especially close to the hurákani, who they
believed to be almost like cousins, as they were both
created by the gods at nearly the same time, only to be
unleashed onto Boricubos together.
After the war began, however, they quickly became
hostile after a village of wolákani and hurákani was
destroyed, with the survivors of each race claiming
that the other started the fighting. This incident was
the first true battle in the war, and relations with the
hurákani became hostile ever since. Relations with
the taínem people, however, are closer than ever, and
surprisingly the wolákani get along quite nicely with
the iguacas, who are in fact mercenaries fighting for
both sides of the conflict but appreciate the wolákani’s
skill in constructing magical arms and armor in the
same way that they originally created magic. Finally,
the wolákani have fierce relations with the baracúden,
who they constantly attack in their underwater cities, a
tactic helped by the fact that the wolákani do not need
to breathe.
Anabagua
The anabaguas are known as the Eldest, and for
good reason. They are the first beings created on this
archipelago, and for that they should be respected and
commended. That said, it is a shame that they show such
animosity towards us whenever we try to enter the jungle.
It is such a vast part of Boricubos, and we’d hate to have it
go unexplored forever. Perhaps when the current conflicts
have come to an end, we may start making peace accords
with the anabaguas in order to start entering the jungles
without problems.
Baracúden
We know of their true intentions: to wipe us all out from the
face of Boricubos. In order to prevent this, we have taken
preemptive strikes against them and their underwater
cities, so that we can have the upper hand when they engage
us more fully. Our taínem allies say that this will only
provoke more of them to join that militant group Ataba’s
Faithful, however, we know that most baracúden already
want us dead. We listen to our gods without question, why
should it be any different for them?
Coquían
They are quite like the anabaguas in how they treat us;
that is to say, with hostility whenever we go near the
jungle regions. For now, this is fine. They don’t come
out of their precious jungle, and we don’t go inside of it.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
47
Things have come to blows on a few occasions, but never
such that anyone has died. For now, we respect the fact
that they want us as far away from the jungles as possible
as their fears are valid. One mistake, and we could end
up burning an entire section of the jungle to the ground.
These fears are heightened to new extremes with the war
going on. A stray fireball can be disastrous.
Hurákan
We thought them our friends, but they turned on us as
quickly as Ataba gave the word to destroy us, so we have
answered in kind. This is survival of the fittest, after all,
and we most certainly are the fittest when compared
to the treacherous, dangerous hurákani. And people
think that fire is the element of destruction. How they
will change their tune should a hurricane or tsunami
threaten Boricubos.
Iguaca
We understand their plight and fully support what they
are doing as far as staying neutral in this war. The truth
is, when it started, we were sure they’d join the hurákani
and baracúden, however, they surprised us and became
mercenaries instead, trading their services for our magic
weapons and armor. They are excellent mages and
should be commended for that; it is only a shame that
their magic was stolen from them when they first created
it. We expect that when this war is over, they will make
a play for power and control of the archipelago, which
suits us well. The only problem is the mercenary group
Freedom’s Flight, which is their largest and seems to favor
the other side. We’re sure they’ll change their tune when
we end up winning the war.
Taínem
They are our truest friends on Boricubos, and would
never betray us, unlike those fiends the hurákani. We
have taught them nearly everything we know, from
advanced farming techniques to metallurgy. They are fine
students and even finer allies. There is no one we’d rather
go to war watching our backs.
Religion
Almost all wolákani worship two deities in particular,
their patron deities and literally the parents of the first
wolákani: Yokaho and Boina. Depending on their
disposition, they might worship one over the other,
believing that their dual nature must come from both
of their parent deities.
The only god that the wolákani never worship is
Ataba, who they believe is their mortal enemy for
wanting them wiped from existence. They see her and
her followers, such as the baracúden Ataba’s Faithful,
as enemies that must be destroyed if peace is ever to be
brought to Boricubos.
 Adventurers
The wolákani are made up of a varied group of
adventurers, however, because of their raging emotions,
they often become barbarians. Those who can keep
their emotions in check, instead become fighters, magi,
and wizards while the rare few who are in tune with the
element of earth become rangers or witches, hoping to
preserve the land.

 Classes of Boricubos
Even outside of the conflict the civil war has caused, there
are plenty of reasons for the Boricubosan people to become
adventurers. Some want to improve their knowledge of
the magical world and become mages as a result, while
some want to protect the borders from foreign adaro and
sahuagin invaders and so become warriors. There are
others who look to becoming an adventurer as a way to
solve the internal problems of the island such as combating
zemi and spirits who have become evil or problematic for
the island’s residents or looking for solutions to The Blight
which has been ravishing the anabagua population. More
recently, however, are those that have taken to examining
the remains of dragons found in the coasts of the island of
Piraguen, which many find as strange as the inhabitants
of Boricubos have a long history in the archipelago and
have never found evidence of anyone else having lived on
or near the islands. This discovery has led many to start
undergoing underwater journeys to see if they might find
living dragons who might potentially pose a threat to
Boricubos in the same way that the adaro and sahuagin
attack the Boricubosans without hesitation. Adventurers
in Boricubos engage in special training to manifest a wide
variety of powers and abilities suited to overcoming the
challenges of their dangerous islands and the seas between.

Barbarian
Barbarians are well respected and cheered warriors all
throughout the archipelago of Boricubos. They are naturally
found amongst both the wolákani, who sometimes make
up for lack of experience for raw aggression and rage,
though they are found primarily within the baracúden
people, as the baracúden regularly train berserkers from
birth to defend Boricubos from attacks from both adaro
and sahuagin threats. Lately, because of the war in the
heavens, some of these barbarian warriors have been
forced to use their talents against the people of Boricubos,
a situation they are not happy with, however, they still
see it necessary to defend their own communities from
threats, even if these new threats are on the archipelago.
Even still, there are a few baracúden barbarians who turn
their focus to even deeper waters, knowing that one day
they’ll have to face the might of the dragons, completely
foreign yet ferocious invaders, in battle.
Other barbarians can be found amongst the hurákani.
The hurákani, however, often see barbarians in their
community as wildcards that cannot necessarily be
trusted: after all, it would be foolish to trust a hurricane.
It is for this reason that barbarians within the hurákani
community often hide themselves and their abilities,
and if they must use them to defend their homes, they
try their very best to disguise themselves as merely
skilled fighters, going into a calm, furious rage rather
than a wild chaotic one.
Barbarians of other races tend to come from the same
tradition as bards, except they are a new phenomenon.
This change from bard to barbarian happened when Ataba
and Yokaho mandated their preferred races to start a holy
war with each other, causing some bards to pick a side, and
change their performances from ones that are meant to
inspire to those that encourage bloodlust in battle. Because
of their similar talents, many of these barbarians pass
themselves off as bards in order to safely pass into enemy
territory to gather information as spies. Ever since this
started, there has been a growing suspicion of bards, which
has led to more than one innocent bard being attacked for
being a spy when in fact they were nothing of the sort.
Path of the Defender
Those barbarians who follow the Path of the Defender
are known as the Defenders of the Archipelago. They are
an organization of barbarians that started off baracúden
only but quickly gained new supporters and offshoot
branches dubbing themselves with the name as they
share the same goal: prevent the war from going on any
further on Boricubos and focus in on the threats that
are coming from the waters below rather than mandates
from the heavens above. Though their numbers are small
now, they grow every day with members of every race.

known to be kidnapped in the beginning of the war to
give up strategic advice that they have learned in their

often grow more powerful as a result of the many battles
they are accidentally dragged into, but happily continue
their journeys into unknown parts of the archipelago
to find the effects of the war in the heavens. But even
so, there are some bards who actively take sides in the
conflict, twisting the narrative of stories and outcomes
of battles to spread misinformation.
Some bards are also experts in matters related to
antiques, reliquaries, and other rare artifacts. At first,
these bards were merely used to tell zemi apart from
artistic creations, however, lately bards all across the
archipelago have had a huge discovery. Baracúden
warriors out on patrol recently found a treasure off the
coast of Boricubos’ largest island and a pile of bones to
which the treasure belonged: a massive dragon’s skeleton.
Bards flocked to this finding to discover more about it,
and though it is currently unknown how old this skeleton
is, it is suspected to be as old as the anabaguas themselves

 Cleric
Priests on Boricubos are commonly referred to as
behiques, of which many tend to be clerics. These
clerics are often the foremost spiritual leaders in their
communities and can be found amongst every race on the
archipelago. Clerics who act as behiques are oftentimes
a village’s or city’s second-in-command and should
anything happen to the cacique, they often become the
new cacique, holding a ritual to be answered by the gods
to see who would become the new behique. This ritual
took part in two steps, the first being who could answer
obscure questions about the gods, and the second part of
the ritual divided up the remaining candidates and see
who could perform the greatest miracle as given by the
gods. Due to the war in the heavens, the relations between
different behiques and therefore clerics of different gods
have become quite polarized, with many even coming to
blows due to religious differences.
Before the war in the heavens, there was no need for
warriors amongst priests on Boricubos, as the gods and
the archipelago’s inhabitants lived in harmony. Most of
the fighting was done by the baracúden warriors against
the sahuagin and adaro invaders, with matters of faith
kept completely separate from matters of warfare. This
changed when Ataba and Yokaho both gave orders to
their chosen races to eliminate the others. Suddenly
secular warfare was no longer the order of the day, and
people of different religions, particularly the behiques
were caught in conflict with one another, no longer
simply practicing medicine and healing, but also being
forced to learn how to defend themselves against those
who would do them harm: thus, the battle cleric was
born. These battle clerics are militant champions of their
faith who do their very best to defend other practitioners
from harm, especially with the war ongoing in Boricubos
and attacks on civilians who happened to worship the
wrong deity becoming more and more common.
Finally, the last type of cleric on Boricubos. Cursed.
Bewitched. Heretics. All these terms are often used to
describe them. They are given their clerical abilities
not by choice, but they are forced upon these cursed
clerics. This in many instances caused such clerics on
the archipelago to face undue criticism and prejudice
from the community at large. However, with the war
in the heavens ongoing, it is becoming more and more
common to accept these clerics if not only for their
vast reserves of magical power. They are also becoming
accepted because it is assumed that either Ataba or
Yokaho cursed them because of the war in the heavens,
therefore depending on which god bestowed the curse
upon the oracle, they are accepted by one side of the
war or the other.

Battle Domain
Clerics who follow the Battle Domain are clerics who
desperately train and train to become expert soldiers
so that they may fight in the war on Boricubos. It being
a holy war, these clerics come in one of two varieties:
the first hate the powers that were bestowed upon them
by the gods and will do anything to fight back against
the god they believed cursed them so, and the second
sees these powers as a gift, and are ready to use them in
order to protect everything their god holds to be true.

 Channel Divinity: Shared Pain
Starting at 2nd level as an action, you can use your
Channel Divinity to create a bond that connects all
creatures within 30 feet of you. As a reaction whenever
a bonded creature would take damage, one other
bonded creature can use a choice to take the full damage
instead. This damage cannot be reduced by resistances,
immunities, or abilities in any way. This ability lasts for
1 minute.
Guardian Angel
At 6th level, as a reaction when a creature within 30 feet
would be damaged by a melee or ranged weapon attack,
you can teleport to a space adjacent to the creature
that would be attacked and have the attack be directed
at you instead. You can use this ability a number of
times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all
expended uses when you complete a long rest.
Split Spell
At 8th level, when you cast a spell on a willing creature,
you can choose to have that spell affect one other
creature within range as well. Once you have used this
ability, you must complete a short or long rest before
doing so again.
Protective Barrier
At 17th level, you gain resistance to one type of damage
of your choice. Every time you complete a long rest, you
may change the type of damage that you are resistant
to. As an action, you can grant this resistance to one
creature that you touch. This lasts until you complete a
short or long rest.
Druid
Most often found in the coquían and anabagua
communities, druids are seen as the caretakers of the
Boricubosan archipelago. For all the faults of the land,
and with the war raging both in the heavens and earth
alike, druids are some of the few people who don’t
necessarily care about the outcome of the war, so long
as it ends quickly. Druids, especially those amongst
the anabaguas, can feel the land dying around them to
such an extreme that they could literally draw the life
force out of the flora and fauna in order to empower
their own abilities. Most druids were horrified when
they learned they could do this, believing that it would
only contribute to The Blight affecting the anabaguas,
however, some believe that this was a quick way to
restore balance to the archipelago: pick a side and use
this blight magic in order to quickly put an end to the
war once and for all.
Some druids act as shamans and are found
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

communing with nature spirits. Unlike the spirits which
reside in zemi, these spirits are pure manifestations
of nature itself, and thus have to be spoken to and
treated in a very different way than one does with a
zemi. These spirits are very protective of Boricubos’
jungles and only reveal themselves to the worthy, such
as shamanic druids themselves, believing that they
are in danger of others, especially due to the war. In
fact, ever since the war in the heavens made its way
to the archipelago, they have become more and more
scarce and so have shamanic druids. Many of those
remaining believe that it is because of the imbalance
of the elements of air, fire, earth, and water that the
nature spirits are disappearing, and thus causing The
Blight for the anabaguas. If the elements are out of
balance, they say, Boricubos will end up dying a slow
death, and it is all due to the ongoing war.
Meanwhile, there are druids on Boricubos that are
seen as happy accidents that happen when a nature
spirit finds its way into a person instead of a guardian
zemi while it is being made. The person, who is most
likely a taínem, takes on a partially animalistic form,
and is able to switch in and out of their normal form
and this more animalistic persona at will. Once bonded
in this way, the newly formed druid is often seen as a
legendary figure in their communities, as a half-spirit,
half-mortal being who is often seen as a chosen leader
of the community, even if they are not formally the
cacique of a village or city. These are the rarest types
of druids on the archipelago to act as adventurers, as
even when they do appear, they tend to stick within
their local communities in order to act as community
defenders. The war has not affected them too much,
other than putting pressure on them to join one side
or another, making it such that these druids are often
pressed into service in a war they don’t necessarily want
to fight in.
Circle of Blight
Blight druids are a recent phenomenon within
Boricubos, and just as most druids are anabaguas,
most blight druids are anabaguas as well. No one truly
knows if blight druids have to do with the actual Blight
affecting the anabaguas, however, they are called as
such because the blight druids are killing the land just
as the war and imbalance of the elements is likely the
cause of The Blight, thereby causing large portions of
the land to grow sick.
Blight Field
At 2nd level, you gain resistance to necrotic damage.
In addition, whenever you would deal damage to a
creature with a spell, you can instead choose to deal
necrotic damage rather than the normal damage type.

blight land that has already been blighted. Land that
has been blighted cannot sustain flora or fauna for 100
years while the land recovers. Using this ability is an
evil act.
Stolen Life
Starting at 6th level, whenever you damage a creature
with a spell, it takes an additional 1d6 points of
necrotic damage. You regain hit points equal to half
the damage dealt to the creature with a minimum of 1
damage regained.
Unnatural Physiology
At 10th level, you gain advantage on the spells and
abilities of fey and plants and have advantage on all
attack rolls made to hit these creatures.
Blighted Life
At 14th level, you gain immunity to necrotic damage
that is not lost when you run out of uses of your Blight
Field ability. Furthermore, you subtly steal energy from
the world, thus becoming immune to aging effects and
stop aging naturally.
Circle of Shifters
There are some druids who are able to use their abilities
to avoid attacks and jump back and forth between
their natural forms and an animalistic form in order
to change the placement of their body parts at different
points in time. They are able to do this in order to
protect themselves in battle first and foremost.
Animalistic Shift
At 2nd level, you can spend a bonus action to manifest
a natural weapon on your body that takes the form of
claws which deal slashing damage or teeth which deal
piercing damage. This natural weapon can be used to
make unarmed strikes which deal 1d6 damage + your
Strength modifier.

Once you have used this ability, you must complete a

chance to turn the critical hit into a normal hit.
Bestial Form
At 14th level, your Animalistic Shift ability becomes
empowered, and the damage you do with your natural
attacks increases to 1d10 piercing or slashing damage
depending on whether or not you chose to shift into a
form with claws or teeth. Additionally, you gain a +30
bonus to any movement speed of your choice when you
use your Animalistic Shift ability, even ones that you do
not yet possess.
Circle of Spirits
A Circle of Spirits druid is one that speaks directly to
the spirits of nature, specifically the four elements of
air, fire, earth, and water. Instead of focusing on just
one element, the druid utilizes all four in order to
maintain balance with the spirits, in hopes that by their
small actions, more and more spirits will return to the
jungles and hopefully cure The Blight that is plaguing
the anabaguas people.
Elemental Protection
At 2nd level, you gain resistance to either acid, cold,
fire, or lightning damage.
Elemental Balance
At 2nd level, whenever you would make a melee
or ranged weapon attack, choose acid, cold, fire, or
lightning. Your attack does that type of damage instead
of the normal type of damage it would normally deal.
The very next attack you make, you must make an
attack that deals the opposite type of damage as the one
you initially picked. If you chose acid, you must make
a lightning attack and vice versa. If you chose cold
you must make a fire attack and vice versa. After this
second attack, you are free to choose between the four
elements again for your next attack.
Elemental Blasts
Starting at 6th level, as a reaction whenever you
take acid, cold, fire, or lightning damage, you may
immediately convert that energy into a blast of energy
of the opposite type. If you were damaged by acid, you
convert it into lightning and vice versa. If you were
damaged by cold, you convert it into fire and vice versa.

Fighter
Fighters are by far the most common type of warrior
on Boricubos, but that doesn’t mean they are any less
respected than others. Training extensively with an
assortment of different weapons has allowed these
champions on the battlefield to adapt to any situation,
and both sides of the war employ their martial prowess
in order to gain an advantage in different scenarios.
Without fighters, the war would have come to a standstill
long ago rather than any side making progress, and
because of this, they are welcomed as heroes after every
battle and often have tattoos printed on their bodies
which symbolize their exploits. A heavily tattooed fighter
has almost certainly seen many battles and therefore,
become a truly great warrior in the process. Though
they are so numerous that they are of the lower class for
a particular village or city, this is quickly beginning to
change, with fighters gaining more social clout as they
are more and more necessary for the war effort.
There are some fighters that are prized amongst the
iguaca more than in any other race for their combination
of martial prowess and magical ability. These fighters
are seen as the perfect balance between the two
disciplines, and thus is a natural fit for an aspiring
iguaca mercenary. But besides being special warriors
for any iguaca mercenary company, they are also found
quite often amongst the wolákani. The wolákani have
used these “spellswords” to great effect in the war across
Boricubos, often pairing them with healers so that they
do not have to worry so much about defense as they
do pure, raw aggression. But these fighters are not
simply mindless warriors who happen to have magical
prowess to back up their skill with a blade. They also
study magic relentlessly with wizards on Boricubos in
order to discover new magical abilities, and because of
their dedication to the magical arts, they are seen as
intellectual savants in the field of magic.
 And then there are some fighters who are adventurers with the spirits of your ancestors, granting you

special troops of non-iguacas as part of their mercenary

not to have their non-iguaca fighters battle against people
of the same race, just in case they may have misgivings
about what they have to do in order to win the fight.
Caracaraco
The caracaraco are named after the first taínem, of which
all future generations of taínem believe themselves
descended from. They believed that Caracaraco was a
warrior without equal and so took on his name as a part
of the social hierarchy of the taínem people, after which
the word spread throughout the archipelago not just to
mean taínem warriors, but warriors of other races as
well. They are adept at fighting in all parts of Boricubos,

 Paladin
Paladins are most common in the baracúden
communities, where they are trained alongside
barbarians as warriors meant to keep the peace of the
archipelago. But the lines between what is good and
what is lawful have been blurred, making their place
on Boricubos very precarious. What happens when
a paladin of Ataba and a paladin of Yokaho meet?
Should they fight as their gods mandate, or should
they go along their separate ways, promising to each
other to make sure the war ends as quickly as possible?
It was almost unimaginable for paladins to come to
blows before the war in the heavens started, but that
is becoming more and more common as time goes
on, and their gods are not rescinding their abilities
as even deities need mortal warriors. But even so,
most paladins have another thought on their mind:
the appearance of dragons to the baracúden people
has them all training not for the war on land, but the
potential for a war against the dragons.
More militant and zealous paladins are a fairly
recent phenomenon on Boricubos. Before the war in
the heavens started, the gods lived in harmony, and
the people followed their teachings well and without
question, with even destructive deities such as Guabanca
being seen as protectors of the Boricubosan people, by
making them hardier for their struggles. But now that
this religious war is raging on, certain paladins have
begun appearing in various churches to act as both
religious enforcers and assassins; on one hand, they
make sure that people remain faithful to their chosen
god, and on the other, they eliminate the competition
from other deities. In particular, the inquisitors of
Ataba and Yokaho have a very strong rivalry with one
another and much blood has been shed between the
two faiths. Similarly, the two daughters of Guabanaca,
Boina and Maroyal have held disdain for each other
long before the war in the heavens began, and have thus
commanded their paladins to eliminate one another by
any means necessary.
More spiritual paladins, however, are seen as the
undisputed masters of spirit tending, and appear mostly
in the anabagua and barucúden races. The phantoms
at their command are seen as proof that they have a
connection to the spirits unlike anyone else on the
archipelago. But this sentiment is not shared by all on
Boricubos. The coquían see those who take the Exorcism
as pretenders and blasphemers against Maketaori, the
god of the dead, seeing phantoms as nothing more than
evil spirits who refuse to move on into either zemi or the
afterlife and the paladins who manifest them as enablers
allowing potentially dangerous spirits to roam around

the Boricubosan archipelago. This tension between the
coquían and paladins of the Oath of Exorcism has led
to a number of battles between the two groups, as the
coquían zealously attempt to put their phantoms to
rest, while the spiritualists futilely attempt to explain
that the phantoms are perfectly safe, so long as they are
controlled by the right people, just like any weapon.
Oath of Exorcism
Paladins who follow the Oath of Exorcism take the
side of the coquían and Maketaori when it comes to
the phantoms they control, seeing them as a burden
rather than a blessing, even if the coquían in particular
do not trust them. But instead of casting aside this
burden, they use all of their might in order to find a
way not only to put their phantoms to rest, but other
spirits as well, acting as professionals when it comes
to restless souls.
Tenets of Exorcism:
Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of
Exorcism vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.
Burden: The phantom that follows you is a curse, no
matter how helpful it may seem.
Caution: Be wary of those who might try and aid you
in your plight for they might be pretenders waiting to
stab you in the back.
Duty: The phantom that guides you through life is not
your friend but your charge. You must work towards
its eventual passage into the afterlife.
Faith: You are to never lose sight of your mission, no
matter what they think of you. Only you can ensure
that souls are put to rest.

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the
following two Channel Divinity options.
Brand Undead: You can use your Channel Divinity as an
action in order to present a held weapon which glows
bright with divine light. All undead within 60 feet
must succeed a Charisma saving throw or be bathed in
 an unearthly glow for 1 minute. While bathed in this
glow, attacks these undead are made with advantage.
Expel Spirits: You can use your Channel Divinity as
an action in order to remove charms or spirits from
a creature. Choose a creature that is either charmed
or possessed (such as through a ghost’s Possession
ability). That creature immediately gets to make a
saving throw against the effect with advantage.
Phantom
At 7th level, you constantly manifest a phantom
humanoid that mimics your movements. Once per
turn, when you successfully damage a creature with a
melee weapon attack, the phantom deals an extra 1d6
points of force damage as it also strikes the creature.
Furthermore, as a reaction when you would be damaged
by a melee or ranged weapon attack, you can instead let
the phantom take the blow, causing you to take half the
damage. Once you do this, the phantom disappears and
you cannot use any of the effects of this ability until you
complete a short or long rest.
Phantom’s Fortitude
At 15th level, as a reaction whenever you would make
a saving throw, you can choose to expend a bit of your
phantom’s power to strengthen your resolve and make
the saving throw with advantage. You use this ability a
number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You
regain all expended uses when you complete a long rest.
Phantom Form
At 20th level, as an action you can choose to let your
phantom completely overtake your own physical form
for 1 minute, granting you resistance to all damage

except force, necrotic, and radiant damage. While in
this form, you have immunity to being charmed or
possessed (such as through a ghost’s Possession ability).
Furthermore, if you were to take enough damage to
reach 0 hit points, you are immediately removed from
this form and are instead left at 1 hit point. Once you
have used this ability, you must complete a long rest
before doing so again.
Oath of Wyrmslaying
While most people are focused on the war in the
heavens which has spilled out onto the Boricubosan
archipelago, the baracúden community has received
disturbing reports of dragons emerging from the deep
in order to examine the surface world of baracúden.
Not sure if these dragons are hostile or potential allies,
the paladins of Boricubos have begun training to fight
such foes just in case their worst fears are realized.
Tenets of Wyrmslaying:
Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath of
Wyrmslaying vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.
Cleverness: Your foe is known to be crafty, so you must
be moreso. There is no such thing as a fair fight against
a dragon.
Decimation: You are not to parley with your foe. You
are instead to destroy them when you can but be wary
not to throw your life away in a hopeless fight.
Protection: You must accrue power, but not for
personal gain, but to protect those around you from
a disastrous fate.
Vigilance: The enemy can strike at any time. You must
be ready for battle at a moment’s notice.

At 3rd level, you gain a reef shark as a companion.
The reef shark has the same stats as an average reef

Additionally, a reef shark ignores all nonmagical

The reef shark understands and obeys your commands,
taking its turns on your initiative. Reef sharks can be used
as a mount by you so long as you are Small or Medium

you must give it an order as a bonus action each turn,

Rogue
Rogues in Boricubos are not mere cutpurses or
common criminals, but oftentimes tinkerers and
trapsmiths, and guides for those who want to to travel
through the trap infested jungle within anabagua and
coquían territories. It is this last role that has taken up
the most prominent ever since the war in the heavens
started, as the anabaguas and coquían have heavily
trapped the jungle in response to the war, hoping to
deter combatants from entering it and destroying the
natural habitats of the flora and fauna, but to no avail.
Rogues and their uncanny knack for not only finding
but disarming said traps, have been doing their best
to keep people safe in exchange for material goods,
running businesses to ensure people make it in and out
of trapped territories alive. Though some see rogues as
nothing but profiteers, the rogues themselves believe
themselves essential parts of society, as they keep the
bridges between the anabaguas and coquían and all the
other races open.
But even so, there are rogues who have recently taken
up the occupation of assassination. Their inclusion on
the archipelago is a very recent one, only starting when
the war began and warriors began training in the art
of stealth and killing while unseen. Their methods of
killing from the shadows is seen as one of the most
dishonorable on the archipelago, as it is believed that
all people should have the opportunity to confront
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
68
someone who attacks them in battle, but the rogue is
far too pragmatic for this; instead of facing someone in
honorable combat, they prefer to stab someone while
their back is turned and studying their targets for any
weak points before striking. While neither side of the
war, nor even the iguaca mercenaries, would admit to
using these assassins for any purpose, they are often
used to target particularly troublesome mages who
have proven to be worthy adversaries on the battlefield.
Lastly and perhaps most worryingly, there have
been rumors of cults spreading throughout Boricubos
dedicated to the dead god of war Guacando, all of
whom seem to want the same thing: for the civil war
raging across the archipelago to somehow bring him
back to life. These cultists are usually rogues, who do
not want their identities revealed for obvious reasons.
But in their hidden guises, they claim that Guacando
will one day rise again to help the Boricubosan people
fight against an even bigger threat than ever before,
and that the civil war is only a minor consequence for
making the people stronger: as a result, the cults want
the war to go on in perpetuity until the new threat
reveals itself, so that all the survivors can be stronger
for their experiences fighting each other.
Cultist of the Dead God
Little is known about these cultists except for the fact
that they worship the dead god of war Guacando and
adamantly believe that he will come back to life one day
in the people of Boricubos’ most desperate time of need.
Their main goal is to keep the civil war on Boricubos
going on for as long as possible so that the people can
rise out of the war stronger than ever before and ready
to meet any challenge.

Sorcerer
Sorcerers are one of the more common sorts of mages on
Boricubos, except for the iguaca people who have very
few, if any. It is said that when the iguacas first invented
magic and it was taken away from them by the gods
to share amongst the other races on the archipelago,
that is when the first sorcerers were born: not because
they learned magic through study such as the iguacas,
but because they were born with it in some fashion
or another. Nowadays, mages are far more dependent
on their lineages for magic with the most surprising
lineage appearing amongst the anabaguas who have
as of late begun displaying signs of sorcerers with the
draconic lineages appearing in their numbers. With
The Blight occurring, many of the confused younger
anabaguas can no longer ask their elders why such an
event would be occurring.
Those sorcerers that can be found amongst the iguacas,
who have a natural propensity towards the magical arts,
excel at the art of utilizing metamagic and the more
technical side of magic. These iguaca sorcerers are often
looked at as merely wizards who tinker too much with
the outside world, however, there are none who hold any
strong prejudices towards them. They often act as problem
solvers, whether that problem be helping put evil or
unstable zemi to rest, or throwing a fireball into the middle
of a battlefield for maximum effect. More than anything,
iguaca sorcerers are planners and quickly find themselves
thrust into positions of power for their natural charm and
intellect, as others see them as the most suitable to leading

Warlock
Warlocks on the Boricubosan archipelago are seen as
the primary source of creators and caretakers of zemi
in the communities which use them, which is every
racial group except for the baracúden. As the coquían
are seen as the keepers of the dead, most warlocks come
from the coquían, however, a rare few taínem also
become warlocks as well. Whatever their race, warlocks
are expected to travel from village to village, traveling
to each individual home to speak with and examine the
zemi to make sure they are being appropriately cared
for, and advising families on matters related to the
spirits residing in the zemi, such as if they are displeased
in some way or another. In worst case scenarios, it is up
to a warlock to destroy any hostile zemi or evil spirits
which have escaped their zemi. Unlike many with
power, warlocks tend not to take a side in the ongoing
war, believing such matters to be beneath them.
Though warlocks who do not deal with zemis may
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
72
have the worst reputations for completely misguided
reasons. Many people believe that these warlocks are
the cause of evil spirits and zemis that wish to cause
people harm, but these rumors are unfounded; most of
these warlocks on the archipelago live as hermits as a
result, only showing up when they are needed to defend
neighboring communities or when they are beseeched
by someone desperate enough to ignore the warnings
from their neighbors and visit the warlock for their vast
arcane potential. Each warlock’s patron is a source of
mystery, though to those knowledgeable about magic, it
is generally understood that a warlock’s patron is a spirit
of some sort, though there are tales of warlocks who gain
their power from darker, more mysterious patrons.
Then there are warlocks who deal primarily with
summoning magics. These summoner warlocks were
once seen as in touch with the natural spirits of the
world, with their summons taking either elemental or
natural forms; this changed however when the war in
the heavens began. As a summoner warlock’s summons
do not truly die when they are defeated, both sides of the
war and even some iguacan mercenaries have decided
to use these warlocks specifically for the war effort, a
fact that has caused many a summoner to despair for
their supernatural allies. Even so, summoners have been
caught up in the war now and can’t very well renege
on it, at risk of their own lives: after all, someone who
quits fighting must be a traitor, or so the more hawkish
people on Boricubos believe.
Natural Summoner
These summoners are far more in-tune with the natural
world than others of their kind and utilize magics that
make it so that they could summon spirits from nature
that are empowered beyond their normal forms.

At 6th level, whenever you cast conjure animals, conjure

Once per turn, when one of these creatures would deal
damage, it does an extra 1d6 points of poison damage.
Even if multiple creatures are summoned by the spell,
the extra damage only applies once.
Natural Health
At 10th level, whenever you cast conjure animals, conjure
minor elementals, giant insect, or conjure elemental,
you have the ability to grant these creatures enhanced

At 14th level, you can unleash nature’s full fury on a
creature. As a reaction when you hit a creature with a
melee weapon attack, you can deal an extra 5d10 points
of poison damage to that creature and for the next 1
minute, beasts and elementals have advantage on attacks
against that creature. Once you have used this ability, you
must complete a short or long rest before doing so again.
Ocean Protector
These warlocks are dubbed the ocean protectors by those
who encounter them, because they tend to live near
coastal cities or villages and protect against raids by the
sahuagin and the adaro, often aiding the baracúden during
such attacks only to disappear again into their domiciles
and wait for the next attack to come. Though they are
mysterious, they are generally seen as good people who
do their best to protect the communities they are a part of. Spiritual Blade

Zemi Medium
These warlocks focus on the destruction of evil zemi and
the spirits that are housed within them. As zemi tend to
be supernaturally difficult to destroy, they have learned
techniques to fight them in their wild and destructive
states. They also learn methods of communicating with
zemi peacefully so that violence can be avoided in the

School of Eclectic Magic
These wizards focus on a few primary spells, of which

these spells could be cast from any magical tradition.
Spell perfectionists take these spells and do their best to
minimize the amount of errors and effort it takes to cast
them, making them by far the most widely used spells
in their spellbooks.
Eclectic Spellcasting

 Animist Spirit Pact
At 1st level, after you complete a long rest, you choose
an animist spirit to form a temporary pact with. This
spirit grants you abilities that manifest at 1st, 6th,
10th, and 14th. Any DCs referenced by the Spirit Pact
features are equivalent to your spell save DC.
Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic
through contact with the spirits to cast spells as a cleric does.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Shaman table shows how many spell slots you
have to cast your spells. To cast one of your shaman
spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot
of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended
spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of shaman spells that are available
for you to cast, choosing from the shaman spell list.
When you do so, choose a number of shaman spells
equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your shaman
level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The
spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level shaman, you have
four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a
Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include
four spells of 1st or 2nd Level, in any combination. If
you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can
cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the
spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you
finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of shaman spells
requires time communing with the spirits: at least 1
minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your shaman
spells, since their power derives from your connection
to and understanding of the spirits. You use your
Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting
ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier
when setting the saving throw DC for a shaman spell
you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your
Wisdom modifier.
Spell attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your
Wisdom modifier.

 New Equipment
There are many differences between Boricubos and
other parts of the world at large when it comes to
equipment. One of the primary differences is that the
Boricubosans have yet to refine metals, and so use
bone, stone, wood, and animal hide for many of their
tools where other cultures would use iron or steel.
As such, Boricubos does not have many of the same
tools, weapons, or armors that other cultures would
have, but have developed other forms of armor that
is more appropriate to traversing underwater and
jungle environments as well as using weapons that
are equally as effective in these places. Not only this,
but as about half of Boricubos is actually underwater,
the land-dwelling Boricubosans have developed
means of traversing underwater environments just as
their enemies, the sahuagin have developed means of
traversing land-based environments. Boricubos’ take
on tools, weapons, and armor is certainly unique, and
by utilizing magic they have been able to turn materials
not normally suitable for use such as kelp and seaweed,
and used their magic to turn them into viable materials
for use in everyday life.

his secret plans, and so fought him. As they fought,
Guacando purposely became more and more sloppy
with his fighting style, pretending to be consumed by
rage, but in truth had no desire to harm his brother.
When Yokaho went in to strike at Guacando, the war
god leaned into the blow and was killed because of
his own doing.
Yokaho was grief stricken for what he believes was
an accidental blow that killed his brother as was Ataba,
who declared war on the races yokaho held dear;
this was all according to Guaando’s plans. The reason
Guacando started this entire conflict in the first place,
why he gave his life, why his final words were “They

he was the first and only god to discover that those of
draconic heritage, dragons and drakes, would bring
war to Boricubos and destroy them all. This was not
like defending against the attacks against adaro and
sahuagin invaders; the dragons were a dangerous
threat and one that held a grudge against the people
of Boricubos due to a longstanding feud with the
anabaguas. Upon learning about this, Guacando came

 dragons and drakes finally launch their attacks on the
people of Boricubos. The creation myth regarding the
Boricubosan people is actually a lie told by anabagua
elders who were long enough lived to remember
a time in which anabaguas, dragons, and drakes
lived on the archipelago together as the original
occupants. What is unknown because of The Blight
killing off all the anabagua elders is that these races
lived in relative peace for millennia before the
anabaguas grew wary of the rising dragon and drake
population. Beginning to feel outnumbered and
without magic such as what they iguacas would create
later in history, they beseeched the god Guacando
to aid them in their plight, for fear that the dragons
and drakes would kill them all. Unwilling to simply
kill all the dragons and drakes living in Boricubos,
but also understanding the fears of the anabaguas
people, Guacando used his great power in order
to seal away the dragons and drakes in a magical
stasis: brine dragons and coral drakes were hidden
in the depths of the ocean, lava drakes were placed
into the volcano known as Boina’s Breath, and both
the jungle and mist drakes were preserved deep in
the earth. This stasis was supposed to last, however,
Guacando did not anticipate the reaction of the
god Ragnor, a forgotten god in the Boricubosan
pantheon and the protector of all draconic kind in the
archipelago. Thinking that his actions had stripped
Ragnor of power, he simply left the god be, and his
name was eventually scrubbed from the history of
Boricubos as was any mention of the dragons and
drakes. The anabaguas elders were simply either too
terrified that by announcing them as real the stasis
would be broken or too ashamed of their actions in
condemning another group into an eternity of stasis.
But at least, in their minds, there was peace and they
could live without fear of draconic kind.
Ragnor, however, did not forget this slight against
him and his chosen peoples. He swore that the dragons
would rise again and take revenge on the anabaguas
who had trapped them in the first place. And so,
little by little over history, he had been working to
undo Guacando’s stasis. Once a select few powerful
dragons were freed from stasis, Ragnor gifted them
with the power of magic that the new race the iguacas
had created and allowed them to scheme and plot
their revenge. And so, the dragons created a ritual
that took 1,000 years to complete: one that would kill
off the elders of the anabaguas, specifically the ones
who were alive to remember the dragons and the
treachery which occurred because of Guacando and
the anabaguas. This ritual would come to be known
as The Blight, and though its origins are unknown to
the still living anabaguas, they know that they must
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
103
find some solution for it, lest it spread to the younger
generations of the anabaguas. Little that they know,
The Blight has already taken its course and done
its job. There is no danger for other generations of
anabaguas, as it was not the freed dragons attempts
to kill off all the anabaguas, only those that had
betrayed them so long ago. Ragnor, meanwhile
is slowly gathering his strength and freeing more
dragons and drakes from their stasis so that he could
have them attack the Boricubosan archipelago and
restore the dominance they once had, and to rule
over all who live there. It was these attempts by
Ragnor which originally alerted Guacando to the
draconic threat, but unwilling to murder Ragnor, he
instead enacted his plan to prepare the Boricubosan
people for war against the dragons and drakes, for
better or for worse. Now, Ragnor is almost done
restoring most of the dragons, and they simply lie
in wait for the right time to reveal themselves and
begin what they believe is their rightful domination
over Boricubos due to the thousands of years they
were in stasis.
The Hive
The Hive is a series of interconnected tunnels and
passageways underneath several of Boricubos’ larger
islands, which extends deep underground, and all
connect to one another in some fashion or another.
What lies there are insectoid creatures known
formians who are fighting their own war against the
forces which lie even deeper beneath the surface, in
essence, protecting the upper world of Boricubos
against what lies within the lower layers. There are
a myriad of strange aberrations and creatures which
live in the deeper layers of The Hive which are all
adversarial to life in general, especially the wasplike
insectoids only known as “The Others” by the
formians. Though the formians are connected by a
hivemind of sorts, just like The Others, the formians
are horrified as to how The Others reproduce, which
isn’t by laying eggs, but by injecting other creatures
with a formula of chemicals and toxins which slowly
kill the poisoned creature, transforming them into
another one of The Others. In their fight against The
Others, the formians have recently grown desperate
and begun to kidnap taínem from the surface of
Boricubos and whilst keeping them in a drugged
state, explain the situation to them: should The
Others defeat the formians, they will come up from
the underground and start to infest the surface as
well. The kidnapped taínem then have a choice. Go
back up to the surface, wiped of their memories of
The Hive and formian society, or join the formians
in the fight against The Others. Those who choose

to stay and fight are then given a choice of staying
in their natural forms or being ‘enhanced’ by being
transformed into creatures which have the bottom
half of a giant spider and the upper half of a taínem.
This shadow war is unknown to those on the surface,
who only see the formians as a threat to be destroyed,
much to the formians dismay, as they believe they
are protecting the surface world from horrors which
cannot be described by those who have not seen
them before.
The Island of Datiao
The largest of the islands in the Boricubosan
archipelago, there are many coquían and anabagua
caciques that serve as leaders of the villages
throughout the land, but none as well-known and
respected as the anabagua cacique Wild Jungle (N
anabagua druid 5) and the coquían cacique known
as Junipi (CN coquían ranger 5). These two have
been close allies and friends for many years and have
combined their towns near the center of the jungle
into one unified community named Guatabara to
the West of the island. Ever since the Blight started
wiping out the elders of the anabaguas, Wild Jungle
has taken over as a pillar of the community, as
she goes forward and is trying to lead her people
through the difficult time they are going through.
She is one of the few anabaguas who have figured
out that The Blight is only killing off those over a
certain age, and even when other anabaguas grow
older, they are not being affected by The Blight, so
she is certain that this is some curse inflicted upon
the elders of the community, but she still has no idea
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
104
why. Junipi meanwhile, is doing her best to improve
relations between the anabaguas and the coquían to
such an extent that they can form an army of their
own, just in case the civil war crosses over to Datiao.
While it is an unlikely occurrence, as there are very
few communities that would be seen as good targets
for any side of the civil war, it is a precaution that
Junipi is willing to take, training many anabaguas
and coquían in the art of combat and trapmaking in
order to defend Guatabara and surrounding villages.
Though it is not confirmed, it is rumored that Junipi
is sweet on Wild Jungle, who has no idea of Junipi’s
feelings towards her.
Further into the island, where the jungle becomes
more and more threatening there are sparse
communities which can’t have more than twenty
to thirty people. These communities are usually
nomadic in nature or are treetop communities which
allow the majority of anabaguas and coquían to
avoid the dangers of living on the jungle floor, such
as insect swarms, titan centipedes, and other wild
animals as well as the occasional skirmishes with
formians. Little that the people of Datiao know, this
is the island which has the most dragons and drakes
currently in stasis, buried beneath the ground and
ready to spring back to life at any moment once the
forgotten god Ragnor frees them from their stasis.
The drakes in particular are viscous beyond belief
and want nothing more than to destroy all life in
Boricubos, however, they are to be held back by the
brine dragons once they awaken who do not want to
rule over communities of the dead.
The Island of Karayan
Karayan is an island where the adaro and sahuagin
threats have taken hold of completely, looting coastal
towns and setting up communities of their own where
the taínem and wolákani have fled from their places
after the event known as The Week of Blood, a time
when the adaro and sahuagin forces took advantage
of the unwillingness of the baracúden and hurákani
to defend coastal villages populated by taínem and
wolákani from the adaro and sahuagin because
of they are on opposite sides of the civil war. This
proved to be a fatal mistake for many baracúden and
hurákani, however, as the foreign invaders took the
opportunity to attack nearly every community they
could find, not discriminating against sides in the war.
The result was a massacre. Today, the island is barely
populated by anyone native to Boricubos, with only a
few anabaguas staying within the jungle, where they
believe themselves safe from the threats. This faith
is misplaced, however, as the sahuagin have learned
how to create mixtures of herbs which allow them to
 breathe on land just as well as they do on water. What for having created magic in the archipelago. Reapok

all of Boricubosan history with no proper treatment of coastal towns and cities than any other, with many
of the cities being half underwater and half on the
surface for ease of access for all races. Caríbite, the
archipelago’s capital is located on the island and was
once a utopia which hosted native Boricubosans of
all races. The city is currently an active warzone,
with both Ataba’s and Yokaho’s side of the war
believing it a vital strategic location to hold onto in
order to break the other’s morale. Currently it is held
by Ataba’s Faithful, the militant and zealous group of
baracúden which is bent on destroying all wolákani
and taínem, making the city especially dangerous for
these people. The organization is led by a baracúden
named Lijimo (LN baracúden cleric 12) and acts as
the main military force for Ataba’s side of the war.
Lijimo is a militant and devout member of Ataba’s
faith who also happens to be her high priest. As the
head behique of Ataba, he has quite a bit of clout
and has drawn many followers to his side because
of that alone. Another behique of Ataba, a hurákani
named Whirling Tornado (NG hurákani cleric 7), is
currently the second in command of the organization

guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

105
 despite not being a baracúden. They earned Lijimo’s
trust over the years but is actually currently a secret
leader of the Defenders of the Archipelago and plans
to betray Lijimo for his brutal methods within the
war, opposing his actions in secret but publicly
supporting them. Whirling Tornado is actually
not a priest of Ataba, but of Yokaho but keeps this
secret to themselves for obvious reasons. Though it
is exclusively a baracúden organization, many have
joined their stated cause, especially the hurákani
and even a few coqúian. Ataba’s side of the war is
also heavily supported by Freedom’s Flight who have
established encampments around the capital in order
to keep order in the city, and unbeknownst to Ataba’s
Faithful, take the city for themselves once the war
comes to an end.
Opposed to Ataba’s Faithful in the city is the baracúden
group Defenders of the Archipelago which is a loose
coalition of mostly baracúden soldiers who are doing
their best to protect innocents caught in the crossfire
of the war and stop Ataba’s Faithful from executing
followers of Yokaho and imprisoning taínem and
wolákani. There are three main leaders of the Defenders
of the Archipelago, a baracúden named Aronguo (LG
baracúden barbarian 8), a wolákani named Crushing
Earth (CG wolákani druid 7), and the secret leader, the
hurákani Whirling Tornado. The baracúden members
of the Defenders of the Archipelago are not publicly at
war with Ataba’s Faithful but have been opposing every
extreme action the faction takes and have been sneaking
Yokaho’s warriors in and out of the city. Though the
Defenders of the Archipelago have not been at war with
Ataba’s Faithful, they very much support Yokaho’s side
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
106
of the war, not because of religious reasons, but because
Ataba’s Faithful have committed several extreme acts
such as burning down villages and killing behiques
of Yokaho. Though in the name of the war, these acts
are certainly not moral and Ataba’s implicit support of
these acts shows that she may no longer be the pillar of
morality that she once was. Ataba as a result has been
slowly sliding towards becoming a Lawful Neutral deity
rather than Lawful Good.
The Island of Choreto
Choreto is an island that is occupied by the main
force of Yokaho’s armies. Much like the island of
Kukachi and the capital of Caríbite, this island is an
active warzone with many temples belonging to the
different gods of the Boricubosan pantheon. Besides
the active battles to take control of these temples,
there are many behiques who are actively training
people to protect the temples from either side of
the war taking control of them. Chief among these
are the head behique of Maketaori named Orimi
(N coquían cleric 7), the head behique of Boina
named Itan (LE taínem cleric 6), the head behique of
Maroyal named Nanakil (CN taínem druid 7), and
the head behique of Guabanca named Kiss of Wind
(CE hurákani sorcerer 9). Each of these behiques are
fiercely loyal to their temples and protect them at
any cost, and though most of them have preferred
sides in the war, they at the very least claim to be
neutral so that pilgrims can continue to come to the
temples in relative safety. As such, they train their
congregations to be ready for an attack at any time.
SAMPLE SETTLEMENT:
Bikai Village
Bikai is a village of around 1,500 people on the island
of Piraguen. Its location closer to the rest of the known
world and relative safety from the civil war makes it a
prime location for visitors to Boricubos to dock, trade,
and interact with the natives. The people of Boricubos
are generally wary of outsiders, so many do not make it
further than Bikai which acts as a port and trade village
and place where non-natives may explore freely; those
who try to go much further than this are usually treated
as hostile parties and mercenaries by both sides of the
war and are generally attacked on site unless they have
been given special permission to roam the archipelago.
Before the war, it was simply a strange occurrence for
outsiders to wander the rest of the islands, but with the
war raging, everyone is treated as a potential enemy,
especially with the loss of the island of Karayan to
foreign adaro and sahuagin invaders. For the most
part, outside races are treated with the same amount of
 suspicion, including humans not native to Boricubos,
who are treated with extra caution lest the attempt to
blend into the native population.
Regardless of its small size, Bikai has been rapidly
growing in size, with members of all the Boricubosan
races working together to build a peaceful community
that is free of wartime events. Almost growing into
its own independent force on the island and in the
archipelago as a whole, the citizens of Bikai have
had to fight off attacks from both sides of the war
due to their temple that is dedicated to all the gods
on Boricubos, one of the only ones like it in the
entirety of the archipelago. Many would like to see
the Temple of the Many, as it is called, desecrated
and the zemi which represent the gods they oppose
in the civil war destroyed, but the natives have done
an excellent job defending their village along with the
help of paid mercenaries from outside of Boricubos
who want to ensure that they can continue to visit the
village without trouble. People are not killed in these
conflicts, with the people of Bikai being careful not
to mortally wound anyone that they battle, becoming
ever wealthier by ransoming prisoners that they
capture off to different sides of the war; this in turn
allows the people of Bikai to trade with the foreigners
who come to the island of Piraguen more freely for treated like humans of various sizes. Dwarves are

many in Bikai to believe that these are elite adaro
warriors, and the sahuagin that is with them, one
of their primary leaders. This location is forbidden

involved, though there have been a few brave and
perhaps foolish individuals to ignore these orders in

joining the baracúden on many expeditions to fight
off the adaros and sahuagins who would threaten
Boricubos in the years before the civil war started.

potential dangers of outsiders, who she makes sure to
meet with regularly to ensure they are not planning
anything nefarious, to the dangers of the jungle, such
as the entrance to The Hive which is located not a mile
outside the village. Rahem is a patient woman who
simply wants to make sure her people survive, and it
is thanks to her leadership that Bikai has been able to
remain neutral in the war so far, with many going as
far as to say that should she ever pick up a bow again, it
would be to the detriment of any who oppose her. Her
hut is always open to the people who live in the village
who seek guidance, and though she is becoming frail
in her old age, none have dared to challenge her to
become the new cacique of the village.
Cave of Spirits: This cave is located just South
of Bikai and has been used as a holy site for many
Boricubosans to spread the ashes of their friends
 and family when they die. As such, the floors of
this cave are caked in the remains of many people
whose spirits linger on after death, sometimes in
zemis but sometimes as malicious ghosts who were
denied a zemi by whoever spread their ashes. As of
late, however, the cave has become too dangerous to
enter, as all the spirits seem to have a vendetta against
the living inhabitants of Boricubos, with at least one
person from Bikai dying within the Cave of Spirits
as they attempted to appease them. The behiques
of the village are shocked at this turn of events and
have begun zealously prating to the gods for aid in
clearing the cave of whatever evil has turned up in
it, however, to no avail. With no clear answers as to
why the spirits and zemi have turned on the people
of Bikai, the cacique Rahem has ordered that no one
shall go into the cave without express permission
and at least one behique to guide them back to safety
when things inevitably go wrong.
Dragon Skeletons: The dragon skeletons that
are located fairly deep in the shores surrounding
the village are quite the sight to behold, with many
Boricubosans coming from around the islands in
order to visit them, with some acting as archaeologists
and attempting to discover the mystery of how they
could have ended up there, while others are solely
interested in utilizing the skeletons for their magical
properties. Many iguaca mercenary groups have
visited the village in order to steal away parts of the
skeletons in order to craft magic artifacts for use in
the war, but more often than not they are stopped by
the hurákani and baracúden who live within the town
before they could make it too far. More often than
not, however, the visitors are anabaguas who have
survived The Blight due to their young age, trying
to figure out exactly what their older brethren might
have had to do with the dragons who obviously lived
in or at the very least near Boricubos. The mystery
remains, however, as the eldest of all anabaguas who
would have remembered such as time have perished
because of The Blight, leading many anabaguas to
wonder if The Blight is a curse caused by the dragons
who may still be alive in deeper waters to take revenge
on the anabagua population for some ancient slight
they might have caused the dragons. These rumors
are of course, unfounded, but this has not stopped
many in town for training for a day when dragons
might appear, utilizing the teaching of foreigners
who have encountered the creatures before.
Entrance to The Hive: This underground passageway
to the East of Bikai leads to a world almost completely
unexplored by the people of Boricubos known as
The Hive. It is well known that there are many secret
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
109
passageways that lead to a deep underground cave system
underneath certain parts of Piraguen, with this being the
best known of them all. The Hive is only known because
of the antlike formians who occasionally come to the
surface and attack the people of the town, occasionally
being able to drag one or two down to The Hive with
them, never to be seen again. This is worrisome as little is
known about The Hive other than the fact that formians
and a whole host of other insectoid creatures live in its
depths, with no one quite sure how far it goes. There have
been rumors of half spider, half taínem people as well as
giant wasps and other vile creatures within, but there is
no evidence other than hearsay. Even so, this is enough
to keep all but the bravest of adventurers away from the
entrance. The cacique, Rahem, has been thinking about
sending a war party down there for months, but thinks
that this would set a bad example, as the people in Bikai
came to the town explicitly to avoid the civil war that’s
going on, not start another.
Temple of the Many: The Temple of the Many is
one of the few temples left within Boricubos that
venerates all the deities within the Boricubosan
pantheon, with others being destroyed due to
the war in the heavens that is now raging in the
archipelago. While originally a holy site for only the
people of Bikai, the cultural mixing with foreigners
has allowed the Temple of the Many to expand its
purposes, with the holy symbols of other gods
from strange and mysterious lands now becoming
commonplace in the temple for outsiders to be
able to worship. At first, there was outrage at this
intrusion, however the cacique of the village, Rahem,
conferred with the village behiques and came to the
conclusion that no harm would come of allowing
 outsiders to worship their gods here in the town, so

the island natives who would view a foreign ship

is doubly named after the beautiful sands that
surround it as well as the gold that outsiders come to
trade with, foolishly believing that the taínem would
be interested in such a metal instead of something
that has more use. Still, the usage of gold in the
town has increased ever since the iguacas invented
a currency system of their own for the Boricubosans
to use, utilizing different colored and magically
marked shells as a way to transfer wealth with these
outsiders as well as pay for goods that they would not
get anywhere else. Some of the most popular imports
that come to The Golden Port are metals of various
sorts, though magic items and religious symbols of
gods from other regions are also highly valued.
Training Grounds: Located right in the center of
town is the training grounds, where all people in
the town go at the very least weekly in order to gain
experience with either weapons or magic. There are
several iguaca teachers here ready to teach potential
mages, coquían who train the stealthier sort, and
baracúden who are ready to train warrior at any
time. It is mandatory on orders of the cacique to
train here for some skills for fear of attack at
any time from either Ataba’s side of the
war or Yokaho’s, who see the village
as a stain on their deities’ honor
and chosen mandates to destroy
the others’ chosen people. As such, the people
of Bikai train relentlessly in order to ensure that
their way of life is preserved and that the people of
the town do not fall victim to the war. The current
leaders of training are an iguaca named Meaqouis, a
coquían named Kisi, and a baracúden named Sajori.
These three regularly spar with others and even
invite foreigners to learn how to defend themselves
as all foreigners living in Bikai for the time being are
considered honorary citizens and are expected to
fight in defense of the town whenever it is threatened.

Bush Harness
Armor (light), rare
This +1 studded leather is formed from animal hide
sewn with thickly braided cords and overlapping
wooden panels. It shifts colors in natural surroundings,
granting the wearer advantage on Dexterity (Stealth)
checks in forest, jungle, or plains terrain, and in such
terrain the wearer cannot be tracked unless they wish
to be. When in such terrain, the wearer can use one of
the following abilities. After using one of these abilities,
you cannot use any of them again until you complete a
short rest.
• Use the Hide action as a bonus action on your turn.
• Move through non-magical difficult terrain
and vegetation for 1 minute. It costs you no
extra movement and you take no damage from
thorns, spines, and similar hazards. While using
this ability, you gain advantage on saving throws
against being restrained by plants.
• Negate disadvantage caused by concealment
from vegetation on one attack roll.
• Gain advantage on an Acrobatics or Athletics check.

Choker of Vengeance
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
This choker made of finely crafted jade contains the
visage of a humanoid face that is not amused. While
wearing this choker, any creature that successfully
attacks you with a critical hit takes 4d6 force damage,
or half as much on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw.
A creature that fails its save is also blinded until the end
of its next turn.
Coral Corset
Armor (medium), very rare (requires attunement)
When you wear this armor, crafted of living,
magically sustained coral, your armor class is 14 +
Dex modifier (max 2). You are considered proficient
with this armor even if you lack proficiency in
medium armor. The armor weighs 12 pounds. You
can hold your breath for twice as long as normal
while wearing a coral corset (2 + your Constitution
modifier in minutes, minimum 2 minutes).
Once per day, you can command the coral corset to
grow and envelop its entire body in a living, mobile reef
as an action. In this form, a coral corset is heavy armor
and its weight doubles. Your AC increases to 18 and you
gain disadvantage on Stealth checks (this disadvantage
does not apply underwater). You are considered
proficient with the armor in this form even if you lack
proficiency in heavy armor. The reef armor lasts for a
total of ten minutes before withering and crumbling,
returning the coral corset to its normal form. You can
 also use an action to return the coral corset to its normal
form at any time.
With the coral corset in either form, you never taking
damage or contract coral scratch from brushing against
or falling prone on a coral reef. You also gain advantage
on Dexterity (Stealth) and Dexterity (Acrobatics)
checks when moving in and around coral reefs.
Once per day as a reaction, you can release a stinging
venom into a creature that grapples you. The creature
must succeed at a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or
become paralyzed for 1d4 rounds.
Crimson Helix
Weapon (spear), very rare after which the squares return to their previous state.
A spiraling red blade runs around the upper shaft of
this +2 spear, its characteristic hue the result of a thin
coating of coagulated blood exuded by the lacerating
weapon which is a favorite in gladiatorial arenas due
to its thrilling visuals. When wielded in combat, the
crimson helix violently spins its spiraling blade, tearing
into exposed flesh. On a critical hit, or on any hit
against a creature with no natural armor bonus to AC
and wearing light or no armor, the target takes 1d8
additional damage from bleeding. The gashes caused
by a crimson helix are cursed and cannot heal naturally.
Magical healing has only half the normal effect on
damage dealt by a crimson helix (though other damage
can be cured normally) unless the curse is removed
with remove curse or a similar effect. A regenerate
spell functions normally and removes this curse, and
creatures with the regeneration ability are immune.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
113
As an action, the wielder can thrust the twirling helix
into soft ground to throw a cloud of dust and debris
in the air for 1 round. This effect can take the form
of a 10-foot-radius spread centered on the wielder or
a 15-foot cone-shaped burst, at the wielder’s choice.
Creatures who fail a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw
in the area other than the wielder are blinded for 1d4
rounds. A blinded creature can wipe the dust from their
eyes as an action, removing the blinded condition.
Dauntless Machete
Weapon (shortsword), rare (requires attunement)
Although the handle of this +1 shortsword is well worn,
its blade still appears as sharp as the day it way forged,
and the whole piece is stained a sickly green. While you
hold the dauntless machete, you move through naturally
occurring difficult terrain (such as undergrowth, loose
sand, or slippery ice) at normal speed and without taking
damage or suffering any other impairment. In addition,
as an action you can move one-half your speed through
naturally occurring difficult terrain, converting it into
cleared terrain rather than difficult terrain for 1 minute,
If the terrain is magically manipulated, such as with
entangle, plant growth, or wall of thorns, you can clear
one 5-foot square as an action, and do not take damage
or risk becoming grappled, restrained, or otherwise
impaired while doing so. Additionally, when using the
dauntless machete to attack beasts, you have advantage
to your attack rolls.
Epic Attunement. You have advantage on attack rolls
with the dauntless machete against plant creatures, and
as a bonus action when you hit a plant creature you
can deal an extra 4d6 slashing damage. You cannot use
this bonus action again until you complete a long rest.
Finally, you may spend an action hacking away at any
plant or vegetation affected by a non-instantaneous
plant-affecting spell, affecting it as dispel magic cast as
a 3rd-level spell and using your Strength score as your
spellcasting ability score where applicable.

Dragon Fetish
Wondrous item, uncommon
A dragon fetish is a small carving depicting a dragon. It
may be etched or engraved into a flat stone or carved like
a statuette or idol, and it may be finely finished but often is
crude or roughly made. The curious activation condition
of this strange item sometimes leads superstitious folk
to make sacrifices to it, believing it to be mystical,
intelligent, or even divine in nature. If a creature spends
one minute covering the dragon fetish in the fresh blood
of a sentient creature, requiring 1 hit point of blood for
each creature within 20 feet of the statue when the ritual
is completed. Once it done, each creature within the area
gains inspiration, which they must use within 1 minute
or it is wasted. Once activated, a dragon fetish loses its
power until the next day at dawn.
Fanged Warclub
Weapon (morningstar), rare
This oblong wooden weapon is crafted of hardened
teak carved with a jagged edge and embedded with
the shells, carapaces, and teeth of slain creatures. You
gain a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with this
magic weapon. In addition, when you hit a creature
that has a bite attack, you can use a bonus action to
knock out some of the target’s teeth, embedding them
in the fanged warclub. The target must succeed on a DC
14 Strength saving throw or else it takes disadvantage
on attack rolls made with its bite for 1d4 rounds. The
effect ends immediately if the creature hits you with its
bite attack. As long as the creature’s stolen teeth remain
embeeded in the fanged warclub, it deals 1d10 piercing
damage on a hit instead of 1d8.
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)

Firespitter
Weapon (blowgun), rare
The embers scattered along the wooden surface of this +1
blowgun flicker continuously, reigniting mere moments
after dying out. The firespitter feels comfortably warm
when pressed against the shooter’s lips and blowing
down the long tube releases tiny darts of fire that ignite
the target on impact. The firespitter does not require the
use of any ammunition, since it naturally produces its
own magical projectiles. The blowgun’s attack deals fire
damage instead of piercing and the target must succeed
on make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or catch on
fire.
The firespitter’s flammable qualities also enhance
magical fire. The wielder may use a bonus action to
direct a spell or ability that deals fire damage through
the firespitter, increasing the DC of that spell or ability
by one. Whether being used to attack or enhance a
spell, a firespitter can be used only once per round.
Fluid Modulation Gloves
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
These brown leather gloves look partially made of
water, with aquatic patterns flowing through the back
side of the gloves. Fluid modulation gloves permit you
to tamper with the physical properties of liquids while
protecting her from their harmful effects.
By plunging both hands in a body of liquid as an
action, you can manipulate that liquid in a 20-foot
radius. Each round you keep your hands submerged,
the radius expands an additional 5 feet, up to 40 feet.
While the gloves are immersed, you can moderate
the liquid’s temperature, suppressing environmental
heat or cold dangers deriving from that liquid. You may
 also alter the phase of the liquid in the affected area,
freezing it to the point of solidification or boiling it to
the point of vaporization.
Creatures other than you standing in the affected area
when it becomes frozen cannot move; they gain the
grappled condition (Escape DC 14) unless they make a
successful DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, and take 1d6
points of cold damage each round they begin their turn
within the area. Likewise, creatures in the affected area
when it becomes boiling gain one level of exhaustion
unless they make a successful DC 16 Constitution
saving throw and take 1d6 points of fire damage each
round they remain in the area. After you pull out your
hands as a bonus action, the affected area returns to its
original state 1 round later.
Finally, you can create a protective field around
your body as an action, which takes the form of a
thin plasmatic layer spawning from the gloves. This
protective field can be used for up to 10 rounds each
day (these rounds need not be consecutive) and grants
you resistance against fire or cold (your choice). You
an use this ability to grant this benefit to a creature
you touch rather than to yourself, but the layer begins
to evaporate if you stop touching that creature with
the glove, ending at the beginning of that creature’s
next turn.
Hurricane Harpoon
Weapon (javelin), legendary (requires attunement)
This harpoon (treat as a javelin) has a head of mithral
and barbs of coral or whalebone. You gain a +1 bonus
on attack and damage rolls with this weapon, and it
also has the stormshaft weapon property (see below).
When you hurl it and speak its command word, it
transforms into a bolt of lightning, forming a line 5 feet
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
115
wide that extends out from you to a target within 120
feet. Make a ranged weapon attack against the target.
On a hit, the target takes damage from the harpoon plus
4d6 lightning damage. In addition, each creature in the
line excluding you and the target must make a DC 15
Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 lightning damage on
a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful
one. The lightning bolt turns back into a harpoon when
it reaches the target and it then reappears in your hand.
The hurricane harpoon can shroud you in a whirling
screen of strong, howling wind. While this effect is active
attack rolls against you are at a disadvantage and all melee
attackers (including those using reach weapons) must
make a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pushed back
10-feet and be knocked prone. This effect lasts 1 minute.
In addition, once per day you can control winds
within 5 miles of you. This acts as a control weather
spell but only effects wind conditions. Any ship upon
which you stand are unaffected by this effect unless you
wish otherwise.
Finally, if you are targeted with an effect that deals
lightning or thunder damage, you become shrouded
with gale-force winds riddled with crackling lightning
and peals of thunder. The effect provides damage
resistance to both lightning and thunder to the
triggering attack until the end of your next turn. While
so shrouded, whenever a creature within 5 feet of you
hits with a melee attack, the shield erupts with lightning.
The attacker takes 2d8 lightning and thunder damage.
This effect consumes the wielder’s reaction.
Each effect once used can’t be used again until the
next dawn. In the meantime, the harpoon can still be
used as a magic weapon.

Lava Collar
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
While wearing this necklace you can walk on lava,
hovering just above it as if using water walk to stride
over water. You take no damage from the nearness of
that lava and do not treat it as difficult terrain. As a
bonus action, you can gain resistance to fire damage for
10 minutes, after which this power can’t be activated
again until the next dawn.
Pyroclastic Rod
Rod, legendary (requires attunement)
This hexagonal rod of black basalt is shot through with
tiny cracks glowing with orange light and radiates
intense heat that burns any non-attuned creatures for
1d6 fire damage. The rod can be wielded as a +1 mace
that deals 1d6 fire damage in addition to its normal
damage. While wielding the rod, you can counterspell
one spell that deals cold damage as if using a 3rd-level
spell slot. As an action, you can use the rod to summon
chunks of volcanic rock and ash down to the ground,
dealing 3d6 bludgeoning damage and 3d6 fire damage
to all creatures in a 20-foot radius. During this time,
driving ash blocks all sight within the area of effect,
and the falling ash causes the area to become difficult

you must complete a long rest in order to use it again.
Epic Attunement. You can cause the volcanic rock
and ash that you summon to manifest as clinging
lava instead. A creature that fails its Dexterity saving
throw takes the normal damage and is restrained, but
each round must attempt the Dexterity saving throw
at the beginning of each of its turns or take 3d6 fire
damage. The creature keeps taking damage and remains
restrained until it succeeds its Dexterity saving throw.
Ring of Alternate Paths
Ring, legendary (requires attunement)
Mounted in the interwoven basket of a thick trellis
silver ring, a sparkling amethyst symbolizes the many
possible lives of a hero. The ring of alternate paths
bestows upon you visions of some parallel lifetime.
At the beginning of each day, you swap one ability
you possess for another you could have possessed had
you chosen differently. This substitution lasts for 24
hours, and the ability you gain must be a valid choice
on the day that you make it. For instance, a cleric could
change his domain, but could not swap his domain for
a fighting style or sneak attack. If applicable, you may
swap a set of abilities, such as a druid’s choice of circle.
The interlacing destinies brought about by the ring
of alternate paths disrupt reality’s perception of the
wearer, making it harder for others to comprehend her
destiny. A creature casting a divination spell that targets

when the weapon is thrown, you can spend a bonus
action to skip the weapon off that surface, allowing you
to either increase the weapon’s range increment by 10

Staff of the Raised Horde
Staff, rare (attunement required)
A sticky, greenish ectoplasmic coating covers the
surface of this staff carved from a single bone. With
a command, a staff of the raised horde taps into the
deep wells of negative energy to temporarily raise large
numbers of corpses, giving its wielder the power to
turn the tides of a battle.
A staff of the raised horde allows the use of the
following spells:
• Command undead (1 charge)
• Animate dead (2 charges)
The staff has 10 charges, and regains 1d6+4 expended
charges per day at dawn. If you expend the last charge,

 can choose a target and ready an action to try to siphon
its magic. If the target attempts to cast a spell, you then
make an ability check using your spellcasting ability.
The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level.
If the spell is a summoning spell, the target loses its
action and the wielder casts a conjure spell from the
staff; this spell must be of the same level or lower than
the spell being used by the target. If the target’s spell
is not a conjure spell, the staff gains one charge (up to
its maximum capacity) and the targeted spell’s effective
spell level decreases by 1 (to a minimum of that spell’s
level). The staff gains no charges from scrambling spells
of 2nd level or below.
The staff has 10 charges, and recharges only by
scrambling spells. If you expend the last charge, roll
a d20. On a 1, the staff discorporates into a flurry of
tiny radiant motes that scatter and wink out, leaving
nothing behind.

it particularly sticky. As a bonus action, you can make a
grapple attempt with your tongue. If you are successful,
the target gains the grappled condition, and you are
restrained but not grappled. A tethered creature can
escape the grapple as normal, or by dealing 5 points of
slashing damage to the tongue (AC 13), which severs
the tongue. A severed tongue regrows after one minute.
While using your tongue to grapple a creature, you
can attempt to pull the creature closer as an action,
contesting your Strength (Athletics) check with the
target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics).
You can detach the tongue without using an action.
Alternatively, you may use your tongue as a whip
that deals no damage. Using your tongue in such a way
allows you to attempt trip and disarm contests against
targets within 10 feet.
Survivalist’s Arrow
Weapon (arrow), common
This modest but precisely crafted arrow is a boon to
those stuck in unfamiliar wilderness. When shot up
into the air, it lands unharmed on the ground, its tip
pointing in the direction of the nearest source of fresh
water within 10 miles. If there is no water within 10
miles, it instead lands point upward. If the arrow hits
a creature, it deals an additional 1d6 piercing damage,
and then becomes nonmagical.
Wand of Aquafire
Wand, uncommon (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This wand has 5 charges. While holding it, you can use
a bonus action to expend 1 of its charges to enable you
to see clearly at double the normal distance underwater
(or up to 30 feet away even if you are in murky water
or have no light source) until the end of your turn. In
addition, you can expend 1 of its charges as a bonus
action when you cast a spell that deals fire damage.
Creatures and objects that are fully immersed in water
do not have resistance to this fire damage.
The wand regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at
dawn. If you expend the wand’s last charge, roll a d20. On
a 1, the wand dissolves into seawater and is destroyed.
Wand of Ash Storm
Wand, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

 Monsters
One could find a great many creatures in the
Boricubosan archipelago as it is a vast expanse of
land and sea. Below is a small smattering of creatures
one can find in Boricubos. These creatures are almost
always hostile in some form or another and will likely
fight to the death when encountered. This is not always
the case, however, and some may be able to provide
useful information to the PCs if spared, but more often
than not these creatures are to be taken as enemies.
Special note must be made of the dragons and drakes
listed. GMs should not use them in their games unless
the party has discovered and awakened them in some
fashion or another. They are meant to be extremely rare
enemies, and unless the campaign is centered around
fighting off a draconic menace, they should be used
sparingly and treated as more mythological creatures
than one would find elsewhere.
Adaro
Malevolent denizens of the waters, adaros are among
the fiercest sentient hunters of the tropical seas. They
are known and feared by sailors on many exotic shores,
as well as by common folk who just happen to live
near the ocean. Many have witnessed a fellow sailor or
fisher suddenly go rigid, a poisoned spear jutting from
his guts, only to fall into the water and be taken by the
vicious adaro responsible for the assault.
Ripjaw. Strictly carnivorous, adaros feed upon their
victims almost immediately after slaying them. Their
brutally sharp teeth cut through bone almost as easily
as through flesh, and their powerful digestive systems
are capable of handling most organic matter. Adaros
usually eat once every couple of days, gorging on meals
half their weight.
Stormchasers. Adaros’ strange relationship with
storms has intrigued scholars for centuries. These
sea-dwellers have a special connection to the deadly
creatures of the water and the wildness of foul weather,
and it is no coincidence that they attack humanoids
more often during rough seas. Adaros are seminomadic
by nature; a tribe travels until it finds a suitable hunting
ground and leaves either when its presence becomes
too well known or when its game runs low.
An adaro is 7-1/2 feet long and weighs 250 pounds.

 Dragon, Brine
Although not inherently evil, brine dragons have little
patience for kindness and philanthropy. As they age,
they grow more and more opinionated and obsessed
with power—by adult age, a brine dragon counts itself a
failure if it doesn’t rule over a collection of “lesser beings”
such as humans, merfolk, locathah, or even sahuagin.
Their blue-green neck frills sweep back from their heads,
leading to a body of dark, shiny scales and fin-like crests.
Brine dragons prefer salt water but can venture into fresh
water and onto land in desperation when prey is scarce.

 Drake, Coral
Like a piece of moving coral, this drake’s coloration and
scale patterns change to match nearby anemones, corals,
seaweed, and urchins. This adaptation allows the creature
considerable stealth in its natural habitat. It avoids combat
if it can, preferring to hide and protect its young. Long
serrated spines stretch from the coral drake’s body, waving
in brilliant colors against a blue sea. The creature’s long
snout stretches out from its narrow face and an array of
spikes and slender protrusions form a jagged crown.
Inside the mouth, serrated teeth form multiple ringed
ridges where it’s young feed on leftover scraps of food and
small parasites. Needle-thin talons spring from finned
appendages, and a stinger frilled with tiny barbs curves
at the end of its slender tail. A coral drake measures 7 ft.
from the tip of its snout to its barbed stinging tail. Thin
and agile, the beast weighs less than 100 lb.
Egg Warders. Both male and female coral drakes
gestate their delicate eggs inside sacks within their
mouths and throats. This oral incubation protects the
vulnerable eggs, but even still, only a handful of these
creatures ever reach maturity since their parents use the
ravenous spawn for defense when faced with dangerous
enemies. Coral drakes live in warm waters near great
coral reefs. Many of these creatures hollow out small
lairs in these reefs and protect their meager hoards
with the aid of the area’s natural inhabitants. Taking
advantage of its natural immunity to poison, coral
drakes often choose lairs nestled in forests of poisonous
urchins, stinging anemones, and toxic corals.
Bonus Actions
Speed Surge (3/day). A drake can draw on its draconic
heritage for a boost of strength and speed that allows

their offspring in specialized throat sacks. They can
pressurize these sacks to spew forth a 15-ft. cone of its
spawn. Any creatures in this area must succeed a DC

 Drake, Jungle
Jungle drakes are tenacious predators, ruthlessly
adapted to the environment they call home. The tails
of these drakes inject a virulent toxin, capable of
debilitating the most stubborn of foes. A jungle drake
measures 14 feet from front to back, with a lean but
muscular build, and weighs around 2,100 pounds.
Pack Stalkers. Jungle drakes typically travel in
rampages of three or more, stalking animals or
humanoids without remorse. Able to travel through
forested terrain with ease, jungle drakes prefer to make
several hit-and-run attacks, using their stingers to inject
their prey with poison. After the venom has time to
set in, the drake reemerges from the jungle, snatching
the weakest target in its jaws before retreating back
into the woods with its new meal. When the prey of
a jungle drake appears too well armed or prepared to
assault foes head-on, the drake stalks them, letting the
natural hazards of the jungle wear them down before
emerging to grab a meal, and then retreating back to
the protection of the deeper jungle.

stunned condition.
 Drake, Lava
Lava drakes rise from smoldering volcanic crevasses
to terrorize and devour those creatures weaker than
themselves. While far less intelligent that their draconic
kin, they are equally arrogant and seek out the adoration
of humanoids. They can and often do submerge
themselves in molten rock, burrowing through the lava
to sneak up on prey, or to provide a dramatic display
of power to those who worship them. Thick, black-
crusted scales cover a lava drake’s body. Stockier than
other drakes, adults can grow up to 18 feet in length
and weigh over 3,000 pounds.

 Formian
Giant, antlike expansionists with an alien hive
intelligence, formians are not evil, but they are aggressive
in the propagation of their kind into new territories,
including new worlds they encounter through
interplanetary portals. The formian homeworld is a
lush green jungle planet teeming with life both above
and below ground level. Formian hives create vast
tunnel systems, turning the subsurface of the planet
into a honeycomb-like structure. After colonizing every
habitable piece of land on their home world, formians
looked to the stars for additional lands to infest.
Expansionistic Colonists. This instinct to expand and
propagate often causes conflict with their neighbors.
Though the formians believe it is their right to annex
into new areas, they have no patience for those who
move into theirs. Formians claim and fiercely defend
verdant areas of land around their hive because much
of the hive’s nutritional needs are supplied by surface
agriculture and hunting. In spite of this, intruders often
don’t even notice they have entered formian territory.
The ground above a formian hive appears unoccupied—
formians conceal entrances to their hives and prefer
harvesting fruits and berries in a way that leaves the
land largely untouched. Meat that lands on formian
tables typically comes from expeditions to drive off or
hunt predators. Formians of the warrior caste organize
these campaigns and these warriors have little patience
for poachers.
Matriarchal. Formian society is a strict matriarchy.
Though each hive’s queen is theoretically independent
and her rule absolute, allegiances are common between
hives, and less powerful hives often grudgingly defer
to more powerful matriarchs. Hundreds of worker
and warrior formians serve even the smallest of hives.
Larger hives number in the tens of thousands and have
complex tunnel systems with interwoven corridors
connecting territories that might span over hundreds
of square miles on the surface alone.
Each formian hive is designed primarily to protect
the queen. Approaching the center of the hive can be
exceedingly difficult. Paths are designed deliberately to
lead encroachers away from the queen’s hidden lair. In
addition to deceptive corridors, formians often build
traps and place complex magical protections, decoys,
and illusions to protect the queen’s inner sanctuary.
Formian Queens. Evolved to procreate on a massive
scale, a formian queen is barely able to move under
her own power. On the rare occasions she leaves her
throne, a small army of workers assist and defend her,
but formian queens are by no means defenseless. They
are massive and powerful beings and have the ability to
guilherme cosenza (Order #31471313)
131
possess any worker or warrior in the hive. A queen uses
these thralls as her eyes and ears and can cast spells
through them. Creatures that invade a hive might find
themselves the equals of the queen’s myrmarchs and
taskmasters only to be laid low when a mere worker
unleashes the queen’s tremendous magical power,
employing the full force of her cunning and wrath.
Formian Myrmarchs. Larger than typical warriors,
formian myrmarchs are the chief guardians of the hive.
They serve as trusted advisors to the queen and as
generals of her armies.
Formian Warriors. Warriors are the formians
outsiders most frequently encounter. The warriors of
the hive follow the orders of the myrmarch and defend
the hive from all encroachers. They also serve as hunters
within formian lands and protect workers that venture
beyond the hive.
Formian Taskmasters. Taskmasters serve the queen
as overseers of projects that require greater intelligence
and more liberated thinking than workers possess.
Each taskmaster oversees workers bred with specific
skills, directing tasks like expanding tunnels, repairing
damage to the hive, or undermining the lands of
dangerous creatures.
Formian Workers. Workers are by far the most
common formians, and perform a vast number of basic
tasks, but they avoid interacting with those outside
their hive.
