Introduction

Expanding World of Sword World 2.0
Do you like adventure?

This book is a collection of additional rules following "Sword
World 2.0 Core Rulebook I Revised Edition". In "Core
Rulebook I" you can find 7 races and 6 levels of progressions
for classes, skills, spells, and monsters. But eager adventurers
might reach the upper limit of 6 levels in no time.
That's where the "Core Rulebook II Revised Edition " comes
into play.
You can find a new magic list with spells up to the 10th level.
In addition, in this book you can find new classes "Enhancer"
and "Bard", making it possible to further strengthen typical
characters and expand what is possible.
The techniques used by Enhancers are perfect for
strengthening warrior characters. In addition, there are many
unique spellsongs played by Bard. Also, small pets such as
small birds are attracted to Bard and can travel with them.
In addition, new races are presented in this book - the dragon-
man Lildraken, the cheerful wanderers Glassrunners, and the
enhanced human race Newman. With a strong physique,
Lildraken is suitable for a great warrior. Grassrunner is a
trickster that is incredibly quick and dexterous and is not easily
affected by magic. Newman has high magical power and are
suitable to be good wizards.
Naturally, combat feats for characters over the 6th level have
also been added, and the game has become more intense and
thoughtful. New combat feats should make characters more
special and unique.
5
In addition, "Core Rulebook II" describes how to use
reputation as flavor for roleplay. With this book you can
personalize your PC in many ways, such as getting special
weapons and valuable items, and having a house or title.
In order to counteract PC enhancements, more than 100
unique and powerful monsters have been added. GM can use
those monsters to their fullest to entertain or scare players as
they see fit.
This book also contains description of northern Razeldawn
continent as a stage for new adventures. In addition, you can
find information about many well-known NPCs mainly from
Zalts region. GM can use this information as seeds for future
scenarios/campaigns or as a reference for making own NPCs
or worlds.
Are you ready to embark on a new adventure?
You have more mysteries and threats, greater powers and
classes and means to use them in front of you. All you have to
do is read this book carefully and use it on your path to
adventure. Is treasure waiting for you? Is it fame? Or is it a
tragic defeat and death?
Enjoy "Sword World 2.0" even more by utilizing this book with
more rules and data.
May you all have the blessing of the dice god.

Precautions When Using This Book
References to Core Rulebook I

When it is necessary to refer to "Core Rulebook I" in this book
it will be done in brackets “(see CR I p. X-Y)”.
Alterations of PC Data
After seeing the new classes and combat feats added in this
book, some players may want to "reselect their classes and
combat feats" for their character which they already played a
few sessions with. In that case, you can ask your GM if he
allows this. However, you cannot eliminate classes that were
acquired through race backgrounds.
For example, suppose a character with 5th level fighter class
and 4th level sorcerer class has acquired the combat feat MP
Save/Sorcerer.
If a player wants to learn the Multi-Action combat feat added
in this book, he may change MP Save/Sorcerer to Multi-
Action if the GM approves.
Players may also drop the sorcerer class to 3rd level and with
1,500 experience points that are were gained by doing so, the
player may acquire enhancer class at 2nd level.
These alterations should not drastically change the character
you have played so far. In the previous example, it is not
advised that the player can forget that he had sorcerer class
and put all experience into the enhancer class.

Part 1 Characters

Lildraken Bodybuilder
9
Character Commentary
He is a Lildraken heavy warrior, armed with powerful
weapons and metal armor.
Lildraken is a race that is also known as the "dragon man," and
very different in appearance from other humanoid races. Its
whole body is covered with hard scales like a reptile, with large
wings on the back and a thick and long tail.
This character has the technique [Bear Muscle] and with it can
temporarily gain a bear-like strength. Techniques can enhance
one’s body and give different effects. It's different from magic
but similar in consuming and using MP.
You can fly in the sky for a brief time by using the racial ability
of [Sword Blessing/Wings of the Wind]. In addition, [Scaly
Hide] racial ability makes the character less susceptible to
injuries, and the [Tail Whip] racial ability allows the character
to attack with its tail. It is a character who can use a variety of
racial characteristics and fight in a way that is different from
everyone else.
Fly in the sky and defeat your
enemies as a true warrior!

Grassrunner Minstrel
13
This character is a grassrunner bard with a little harp.
Although the grassrunners are human-like, it is a race whose
origin is shrouded in mystery. Quick and curious, they are
extremely interested in everything.
Using bard class this character can affect itself and its friends
and its enemies by singing a special song, the spellsong. This
character can sing [Morale] to increase accuracy and
[Resistance] to increase Fortitude and Willpower checks. It
also can use its crossbow and abilities of scout and ranger to
track, follow and use medicine to help its friends.
The racial abilities of the grassrunner are [Mana Interference]
and [Natural Communication]. Mana Interference is a racial
ability that prohibits grassrunners to have MP, but instead
increases resistance to any magics. [Natural Communication]
gives the ability to sense approaching danger from the rustling
of insects and growing grass around the grassrunner.
Play your instrument, sing a song, and let everyone listen to it!

Newman Conjurer
17
It’s a race called Newman. It was researched and created
during the Magic Civilization era. It was artificially created by
humans to be more suitable to use magic.
Newman looks like humans, but there are some differences.
They have a thin bodies, and they have magical sigil marked
somewhere on their body. When Newman uses magic, the
magic sigil appears on its body and increases its magical power.
This character uses 2nd level spiritualism magic. Due to the
racial ability [Child of Magic], it can support allies and attack
enemies with its higher magical power than usual. This ability
will only grow as Newman learns more magical classes.
Another racial ability [Déjà Vu] can allow them to get a +2
bonus to an Intelligence-based skill check once a day. Use it
here and there.
Master magic and be the wisest of your fellow adventurers!

Additional Data for PC Creation
Sample Characters
Three types of sample characters introduced on the previous

pages can be selected and used for Easy Creation (see CR I:
p. 28-66).
Those sample characters are each of new races/classes also
presented in this book. Choose these characters if you are
intrigued by new races and classes.
New Races and Backgrounds
Next you can find descriptions of new races Lildraken,

Grassrunner, and Newman and their background tables used
for Normal Creation (see CR I: p. 66-102).
Lildraken
Uplifted onto two feet, the smaller Lildrakens take their place
beside the rest of Raxia. They may look barbaric, but they have
been blessed by Lumiere, the Sword of Harmony, and live
peacefully among the other races. In fact, despite their brutish
appearances, many tend to be shrewd merchants and
appreciate the contact they have with the rest of Raxia.
Starting Languages: Can read and write Draconic (see CR I: p.
87-93) and Trade Common (see CR I: p. 87-93).
Restricted Classes: None
21
Racial Abilities
[Scaly Hide]: Lildraken receive +1 Defense.
[Tail Whip]: Lildraken may use their Tail (see p. 170) as a
weapon, regardless of class.
[Sword's Salvation/Wings of the Wind]: A Lildraken may
spread their wings and take flight, flying for a total of 6 rounds
each day. These rounds do not have to be consecutive.
Movement speed remains the same whether moving forward
or ascending, but doubles when descending.
While flying, a Lildraken receives a +1 bonus to both Accuracy
and Evasion. In addition, they may carry additional weight, up
to a maximum of 200 kg. This may be equipment, supplies,
or another PC.

Grassrunner
Curious and full of wanderlust, the short Grassrunners are
often seen wandering through various areas all throughout
Raxia, making them almost ideal adventurers. However, this
wandering makes it fairly difficult to keep track of the history
of the race, and there is truly little written about Grassrunners
as a whole. Combined with their innate resistance to magic, a
common rumor is that Grassrunners came from a different
planet long ago (though this is rarely mentioned directly to a
Grassrunner).
Grassrunners reach maturity around 15 years old and can
theoretically live to around 200 or so. Their natural curiosity
often leads to shorter life spans, though.
Starting Languages: Can read and write Grassrunner and
Trade Common (see CR I: p. 87-93).
Restricted Classes: none
Racial Abilities
[Mana Interference]: Grassrunners do not have and cannot
gain MP, even if a class or ability would otherwise do so. Mako
Stones may still be used.
If a Grassrunner succeeds on a Willpower check against a
spell, they will be completely unaffected (even if the spell says
otherwise).
[Natural Communication]: Grassrunners are able to
understand plants and animals to a small degree. While this
does not mean a full conversation can be held, the
Grassrunner can pick up on subtle expressions, such as if there
is danger ahead, or if there's something wrong in the
environment.

Newman
Possessing beautiful white skin and hair, Newmans are a vain
race. Marked with a magical sigil, they are an experiment by
the long-forgotten Durandal Empire to create the perfect
person. While Newmans have greatly increased intelligence
and magic usage, they are physically frail, and have shortened
lifespans.
A Newman comes into maturity around 15 years, but the
average lifespan is only around 30 years or so. While they may
pass away before truly aging like a human would, they can
occasionally call on memories of previous lives.
Starting Languages: Can read and write Arcana (see CR I: p.
87-93) and Trade Common (see CR I: p. 87-93).
Restricted Classes: none
Racial Abilities
[Déjà Vu]: Once per day, a Newman can call upon memories
of previous lives, and receive a +2 bonus to an Intelligence-
24
based skill check before roll occurs. This bonus cannot be
applied to a Spellcasting check.
[Child of Magic]: Increase all Magic Power by +1.
Additionally, if a Spellcasting check is automatically successful
(i.e., the roll is double 6's), no MP is spent. This applies even
if the MP would come from a Mako Stone or Familiar.
Multiple simultaneous MP expenditures, such as through the
Combat Feat [Metamagic/Targets], can only have one of the
MP expenditures become 0.

Additional Language
Grassrunner
The Grassrunner language seems easy to learn on the surface,
being packed with many fairly direct expressions and phrases.
However, Grassrunners themselves use a wide variety of
abbreviations and slang in their normal conversations, making
it incredibly cryptic for new learners of the language.
Additional Random History
This is a chart of additional history options for new characters,

able to be used in conjunction with the charts from the Core
Rulebook I (see CR I: p. 61-64). If you do so, the first die
result means you use Chart A for a roll of 1~2, Chart B for a
roll of 3~4, or the new Chart C for a result of 5~6.

Part 2 Game Rules
33
Supplementary Rules
This section introduces rules for battles in special situations,

as well as adding new rules for skirmishes.
Actions and Combat in Special Situations
This section covers the rules for combat in special situations,

such as underwater, in mid-air or any other time when combat
is not just a normal battle, as well as the actions a character can
take in such combat situations.
Underwater Behavior in Combat

Character movement is drastically reduced when underwater.
A Limited Move is only 1m, while both a Normal and Full
Move are reduced to 1/5 speed (rounded up).
When a skill check is required (except Fortitude and
Willpower), there is a -4 penalty to those skills. Characters in
full metal armor are unable to make any skill checks
underwater at all. Additionally, unless able to breathe
underwater characters cannot speak while underwater, making
communication and spellcasting impossible. Spells may be
used in water up to shoulder-height (though the -4 penalty for
being in water would apply); anything higher prevents
spellcasting.
If unable to breathe underwater, a character can stay under for
a number of rounds equal to their Vitality. Any longer, and the
character's HP drops to 0, and they become unconscious. If
underwater, or floating face down in water, and unconscious,
34
a Death Check needs to be made every minute, with the
Target Number increasing by +1 every minute.
Attacking While Underwater
When making a melee attack while underwater, both the
attacker's Accuracy check and the defender's Evasion check
are penalized, reducing the results by -4. This is applied
regardless of the attacker's weapon, strength, etc.
Ranged attacks (including thrown attacks) cannot be made
underwater.
Casting Spells Underwater
Assuming the character is able to cast a spell underwater, the
spell works the exact same way as on land, no matter what the
effect would be. Yes, that means Fireball and other fire spells
would still work underwater.
Blocking Movement While Underwater
Underwater, a character can only block (see CR I: p. 191-200)
one opponent at a time, and only if that opponent doesn't have
more body sections than blocking characters. For example, a
single character cannot block a character or monster with two
or more body sections.
Special Underwater Abilities
Certain abilities allow for a character to function (or at least
use the ability) underwater. In particular, any ability that says
"Underwater" in the name, as well as the Elf Racial Ability
"Sword's Salvation/Gentle Water" (see CR I: p. 67-79), allows
for unfettered movement. These characters may move and
speak freely underwater (including casting spells), are not
limited in movement, and do not receive any penalties on skill
35
checks. When blocking movement, count the character as per
normal rules, as well.
Actions and Combat in the Air

This section covers actions and combat for those characters
who can fly.
Movement in the Air
Characters with flight, as well as those with items that allow
flying, are able to move in the air. The distance traveled
depends upon the type of flight used, as well as the character's
Agility score. Movement is the same as it would be on the
ground for those characters.
Falling
Falling from the sky forces a character out of a skirmish,
regardless of all other conditions. When falling, the time from
the start of the fall to impact with the ground is instantaneous
and fall damage will be taken (see CR I: p. 207-213).
If a character that can fly ends up falling, reduce the height
fallen from by 10m. If this reduces the fall height to 0m or
lower, that character doesn't receive fall damage (see CR I: p.
117-137).
Below are a couple of common situations that would cause
falling damage.
Falling from a Height
If a character would be affected by something that would cause
them to fall (or be knocked prone) while in the air, they
immediately start falling. However, if the distance to the
ground is more than 10m, then the character can ready
36
themselves and reestablish flight, albeit 10m lower than their
previous position.
Knocked Unconscious
If a character is knocked unconscious, they fall to the ground
immediately. In this situation, Tumble checks cannot be
attempted.
Loss of Flight
If a character loses the ability to fly, whether through the item
used failing, the magic effect used run out of its duration, or
whatever, they immediately fall. Tumble checks can be made
in order to minimize the damage dealt.
Characters with multiple sets of wings lose their flying ability
when half (rounded up) of their wings are rendered non-
functional. Characters with multiple flying abilities
simultaneously will fall if they lose all of them, not just one.
Notes on Fall Damage
This section has information on how to deal with fall damage

(see CR I: p. 207-213) in special situations.
Fall Damage Situational Modifiers

If falling into water or into trees, as opposed to directly to the
ground, there's a chance characters can use the different
terrain to cushion their fall somewhat. Below is a list of
modifiers that will either increase or decrease the fall distance
for the purposed of determining fall damage. If there are
thorns or traps, etc. at the fall location, that damage will be
dealt after determining fall damage.
37
Falling Situations and increase/decrease in fall distance
Falling Situation Drop Distance (m)
Able to fly -10
Fall location is in the forest -10
Fall location is in water -5
Sliding down a cliff -10
Fall location is harder than dirt +5
Catching a Falling Character

When attempting to catch a falling character, both the falling
character and the one trying to catch them can make Tumble
check (see CR I: p. 117-137) in an attempt to reduce fall
damage. In doing so, the sum of both checks is subtracted
from the fall damage, but both characters will take the
remaining fall damage.
If the falling character is unable to make a Tumble check, the
character catching them can still attempt the Tumble, and
reduce damage accordingly.
Falling Monsters
If a monster is falling and attempts to make a Tumble check,
use their Evasion score when rolling.
Losing Flight
If a monster's Wings drop to 0 HP, they will be unable to fly,
and if in the air will fall immediately. Monsters with multiple
sets of wings will lose the ability to fly when half or more of
their sets of wings are at 0 HP.
38
However, monster abilities like [Flight] only actually offer
bonuses in combat. If those abilities are lost, it doesn't actually
remove the ability to fly.
Fall Damage for Multi-Section Monsters
Monsters with multiple sections will receive fall damage on
each section.
Enhanced Racial Features
Once a PC's Adventurer Level is 6th or higher, their racial

features are enhanced. In most cases, there's a racial feature
for each race that's easier to use and is more relevant than the
other, so that one will receive the benefit.
Use This as Option Rule
Please use this rule as an optional rule. If using these rules,
refer to “Alchemist Works” for levels 11 and beyond.

Disease damage by -3, whether physical or magical.
Race Lildraken Strengthened [Sword's

Racial Feature Salvation/Wings of the

standard value, then the effect is dispelled.
Race Newman Strengthened Racial [Child of

Feature Magic]
Summary If a Spellcasting check comes up as an automatic failure
(double 1's), then no MP is spent.
Special Rules for Weapons and Armor
Custom-Forged Weapons
When purchasing weapons, the option exists to have weapons
custom-forged for the wielder. These weapons have their
Minimum Strength requirement adjusted, making it easier to
wield a particular weapon. This custom forging can either be
assumed to have taken place before the weapon was
purchased or may be done at any time after purchase by a
qualified weaponsmith.
With these custom-forged weapons, the Minimum Strength
requirement can be either raised or lowered by up to 3 points
from the listed value, and the Power is adjusted accordingly
using Power Tables (see p. 417). For example, a weapon that
was custom forged to require an extra +3 Minimum Strength
also gets +3 Power. However, Guns cannot be custom-forged,
41
as that would disrupt their inner workings. Also, custom-
forged weapons cannot have either their Minimum Strength
or their Power reduced to 0 or lower.
The cost increase for a custom-forged weapon is based on its
rank, below:
B-Rank: +300 Gamels for each +1 or -1 modifier
A-Rank: +1,000 Gamels for each +1 or -1 modifier
S-Rank: +3,000 Gamels for each +1 or -1 modifier
This cost can be part of buying the weapon and paid upfront,
or it can be specifically paid out after the fact when custom-
forging an already purchased weapon. The same amount of
money will be charged whether there's an increase or a
decrease in Strength and Power.
Custom-forged weapons may have unique names, though this
should be discussed upon between the PC and the GM.
Silver Weapons
Purchased weapons can also be silver and are more expensive
as a result. When purchasing a silver version of a weapon, it is
+1,000G for B-Rank weapons, +2,000G for A-Rank, and
+4,000G for S-Rank weapons. An already existing weapon
cannot be made into a silver weapon. Also, weapons made of
mithril are already considered to be silver weapons.
Handling High STR Weapons and Armor

At the GM's discretion, a PC may attempt to wield a weapon
or wear armor with Minimum Strength requirements higher
than their Strength score. These are referred to as "oversized
weapons" and "too-heavy armor".
42
In situations like these, the character takes a penalty to their
Accuracy equal to the different between their Strength score
and the Required Strength of the weapon. For example, if a
character with 15 Strength tried to wield a Bastard Sword
requiring 17 Strength, the character would receive a -2
Accuracy penalty as long as they were wielding that sword.
Wearing heavier armor than capable limits characters just as
harshly. While in too-heavy armor, a character can only take
a Limited Move, and may not perform any Major Actions,
until the armor is taken off.
Handling Higher-Ranked Weapons and Armor

At the GM's discretion, a PC may attempt to use weapons and
armor of A-Rank or higher even without the appropriate
[Weapon Proficiency/**] or [Armor Proficiency/**] Combat
Feats.
When using one of these higher-rank items, the Minimum
Strength requirement is increased by +10, and any extra
annotated benefits the weapon may give are ignored. For
example, if a character were to try and wield a Defender sword
(Min STR 12) without having [Weapon Proficiency/Sword],
they would need a 22 Strength in order to even attempt to use
it, and even then, the character would not get the added
Defense the sword offers. Additionally, the wielder would
receive an Accuracy penalty depending upon the difference
between their Strength score and the Required Strength of the
weapon, as if they were using an oversized weapon.
Similarly for armor, the Minimum Strength increases by +10
when attempting to wear higher-rank armor. Even then, a
character can only take a Limited Move, and may not perform
any Major Actions, until the armor is taken off.
43
Characters may not attempt to wield weapons or wear armor
two ranks higher than what they are normally capable of.
Loss of Hearing Penalties
A PC may have issues with certain skills if they lose the ability
to hear, whether through going deaf or just an inability to
distinguish separate noises. Penalties can be applied to Hide,
Evasion, Follow, Listen, Danger Sense, Engineering, Search,
Meteorology, Find Trap skill (see CR I: p. 117-137) and any
other that GM deems appropriate.
Example of Penalties due to Hearing Difficulty
Situation Penalty
Deaf in one ear -1
Deaf in both ears -2
Strong wind blowing -1
Unable to distinguish due to noise -1
Staying Awake Longer Than 1 Day
If a character stays awake for more than 24 hours, they receive

a -1 penalty to all Actions taken and skill checks made, as well
as a maximum HP and MP reduction by -1 point. This effect
accumulates for each day spent awake and goes away when the
character can finally get at least 6 hours of continuous sleep.
Notes on Shielding
Objects, such as trees or skirmishes, that are easy to see but

difficult to see beyond, are considered to shield whatever is
behind them. Shielding only obstructs vision, not movement.
44
The other side of the shielding object cannot normally be
targeted by attacks or magic. However, Combat Feats, such as
[Hawk Eye] (see CR I: p. 280-286), allow targeting.
Examples of Shielding
Hostile Characters, Skirmishes, Heavy Forest, Heavy Rain,
Muddy Water (when underwater), Clouds (when in the air).
Torch and Lantern Light
By using a torch or lantern, a character is able to see in the

dark. Unless otherwise specified, the light from either a torch
or lantern illuminates a 10m area.
Viewing Bright Areas from Dark Places
Even if a character is in complete darkness, they can target
characters in illuminated areas without suffering penalties
from the darkness.
45
Sword Shards and Reputation
Over the course of an adventure, PCs may come across Sword

Shards. These powerful artifacts can be found as part of a
treasure trove, gifted by a grateful NPC, or wrested from the
control of a powerful monster. However, they're found, Sword
Shards provide a valuable service, so while possible to sell
them to the Adventurer's Guild for money and reputation, it's
also possible to offer them to the kingdom for protection.
Using Sword Shards
Sword Shards can be sold for an average of 200G each, but

there are many other uses for them. Some buyers may offer a
higher price, while others may offer other rewards. There's not
much point in selling them to other PCs, though.
However, the Adventurer's Guild offers a different use for
Sword Shards. By donating Sword Shards to the Guild, they
get passed on to the kingdom, and used for their Sword of
Protection. It's very easy to become famous by donating
multiple Sword Shards, so many adventurers go out in search
of them.
If PCs choose to donate Sword Shards, they earn Reputation
for being able-bodied adventurers. For each Shard donated,
one of the PCs may roll a die, and each PC involved in that
adventure receives that much reputation.
Donating Sword Shards is done at the end of a session, after
deciding whether or not to sell any Sword Shards. Once Sword
Shards are donated for reputation, the PCs cannot decide to
46
get money instead if the reputation rolls come up poorly. Also,
while it is recommended that Sword Shards be donated or sold
during the same session they're found, real life matters may
make that difficult, so it may be possible to hold on to Sword
Shards over a lengthy period of time.
Reputation
Those who return bearing Sword Shards are seen as brave.

This is only somewhat accurate, as this comes from the actual
donating of Sword Shards, though it is commonly thought that
Sword Shards are only found in the hands of the dangerous
and powerful. This doesn't consider any other heroic deeds or
other circumstances that might give an adventurer a title.
While the titles and renowned items below are meant as
rewards for achieving higher and higher reputation, it might
also seem stifling to keep with this exact setup in home
campaigns. If the GM wishes to have extra titles, or rewards
from other titles that don't include anything from below, they
should feel free to include it in their own campaigns.
Theoretically, reputation is independent of any other fame
and fortune that may befall the PCs. However, that can still be
useful, as higher reputation means that more people would
pay attention to the characters and can also give the GM a
rough idea as to how NPCs would react to someone with
varying levels of reputation.
Given that the whole concept of reputation comes from
defeating powerful monsters and taking their Sword Shards, it
comes as little surprise that the various races of the Barbarous
would look down on characters with a lot of reputation.
47
Increasing one's reputation among the various player races
also brings dishonor to one's self in the eyes of the Barbarous,
and highly regarded heroes are at the same time despised
villains, depending upon who's asked.
GM's Guide to Sword Shards
While enemies fall all over themselves to grab and gain power
from Sword Shards, it is a good idea to recommend that
players who defeat said bosses receive Sword Shards. This is
the most basic way to get a Sword Shard.
However, the GM may hand them out as a reward, or just
allocate them behind later rewards (such as treasure troves) in
order to put more Sword Shards into the player's hands.
The total number of Sword Shards that should be handed out
per session should be about 1x~2x the average Adventurer
Level. Below that, there's not as many boss monsters, and the
resulting combats will end up feeling weak and underpowered.
Go high enough over, though, and every enemy turns into a
full boss fight, and it becomes significantly more likely that the
PCs will end up getting beaten down over and over again.
If the players are looking to have a more epic game, something
a little more fitting for the scenario might be needed. While it
may seem like a good idea to just add in more Sword Shards,
it's much better to offer different ways to increase honor and
reputation than just overloading the PCs with Sword Shards.
48
Reputation and Rewards
Reputation earned by collecting Sword Shards doesn't only

represent the popularity and notoriety of the PCs, but it can
also be used to allow the purchase of unique items. Upgraded
tools, titles, even a house are available to characters with
enough reputation.
Keeping Track of Reputation

Players who've earned reputation need to keep track of that
for their individual characters, there is no "party reputation".
Additionally, it's important to distinguish between "Current
Reputation" and "Total Reputation".
Total Reputation
Total Reputation is the sum total of all reputation earned over
the character's career by collecting and donating Sword
Shards. With a few exceptions (see p. 81), a character's Total
Reputation will only rise over the course of a campaign. Refer
to the "Reputation and Fame" table (see p. 50) to see how well-
known a character is.
Current Reputation
Current Reputation is a measure of how much reputation the
character currently has and can be spent to allow the purchase
of Renowned Items, special equipment, titles, social status, etc.
(see p. 51). Narratively, this is rewards given by various kings,
citizen representatives and merchants. Mechanically, this is
dealt with by using reputation as a sort of currency, allowing
characters to buy these Renowned Items. If it is important to
know specifically who the items came from, that is something
to work out with the GM.
49
While a character can reduce their Current Reputation to 0, it
cannot go lower. Also, most items have a monetary cost in
Gamels as well as the cost in reputation, which also needs to
be paid for at the time of purchase.
If any of these Renowned Items are lost or broken, characters
may suffer an additional loss of reputation (see p. 81).
Reputation and Fame Table

A character's Total Reputation score represents how well
known that character is throughout the world of Raxia.
Reputation and Fame
Reputation Degree of Fame
1 - 20 Unknown. Little is known, outside of direct
acquaintances.
21 - 50 Recognized. Name is known by a small community, such
as a local Adventurer's Guild.
51 - 100 Familiar. Small communities can match the name and
face to certain deeds, but still relatively unknown outside
of the area.
101 - 200 Popular. Opponents will begin to know the character,
and requests from other communities will ask for the
character by name.
201 - 500 Renowned. Rumors of deeds have hit the major cities,
and the character is a minor celebrity. However, there are
some who don't recognize them.
501 - 1,000 Celebrated. The character is a major celebrity in cities
and local communities. Their reputation precedes their
presence, for good or ill.
1,001 - Famous. Recognized on the national level, the character
2,000 will receive preferential treatment at shops and will often
receive complimentary goods and services. However,
there are those who will look to forge the character's
name.
2,001 - Illustrious. The character is a national celebrity, and will
5,000 continue to be given preferential treatment, even if
unwanted. Aspiring writers may also ask to write the
50
Reputation Degree of Fame
character's biography, as well as poetry and words of
wisdom.
5,000+ Legendary. A worldwide phenomenon, the character is a
living legend. Their exploits are the source of many books
and poems, and they are thought of as an icon of courage
and heroism.
Renowned Item List
This section introduces lists of items that can be purchased

with a character's Current Reputation.
Personalized Equipment
Equipment specially made for a particular PC, these weapons
and armor can come from a variety of places. A friendly
blacksmith, looking to repay a favor; a merchant, looking for
fame by sponsoring a popular adventurer; an old master, trying
to take advantage of a generous offer; all of these and more
can give a player access to this personalized equipment.
Often covered with emblems and decorations that are
meaningful to the PC, this equipment is also designed to work
with the PC and that character alone. As such, the character
receives a +2 bonus to a particular ability (listed below), so long
as they are using that particular piece of equipment. Letting
another character use a piece of personalized equipment will
not give them the same benefit.
Personalized equipment is available for 50 Reputation, though
the Gamel value is the same as the market value for the item
in question. New equipment can be purchased as such,
spending both the Reputation and the Gamels, or existing
51
equipment can be upgraded by spending only the Reputation.
Even magical items can be upgraded in such a way.
Losing personalized equipment will cause a loss of Total
Reputation but storing it away and not using it will not. Selling
personalized equipment will also cause a loss of Total
Reputation, but the buyback price will be twice normal, or
equivalent to the market value of the item (see p. 81).
Personalized Reputation Price Effect
Equipment (G)
Favored Weapon 50 Varies Dexterity +2
Favored Shield 50 Varies Agility +2
Favored Armor 50 Varies Speed +2
Favored Scout's Tools 50 Varies Dexterity +2
Favored Instrument 50 Varies Spirit +2
Favored Accessories ※ 50 Varies Maximum HP or
1, ※2 MP +2
※1: Any Accessory may be chosen.
※2: The same effect does not stack (i.e., no equipping two Maximum HP
+2 Accessories to get +4 Maximum HP; +2 HP and +2 MP will work,
though).
Specialty Items
Specialty Items are items that are rare and difficult to find,
often unable to be mass-produced. Things like rare materials
used in their creation, requiring skilled craftsmen with waiting
lists years long, or a special horse being born. Often, one
requires connections and favors in order to find such items,
and there are many looking for the same goods, so
competition is fierce whenever something comes to market.
These specialty items are typically superior to those found
readily at most markets and can be shared among characters
without any loss of functionality. However, there are a few
52
items that require certain levels in specific classes and will not
function otherwise.
Specialty Items can be sold back for the same amount of
money paid but will cause a loss of Total Reputation (see p.
81). Storing the item and not using it, however, will not cause
the reputation loss.

rerolls; the first check is as normal. Equip Slot: Head

Gamel cost is combined as well.
Reputation and Real Estate
With enough of a reputation, players can find themselves as

owners of their own home.
Housing
PC with a residence is able to defray the various costs of living
traveling adventurers may incur, such as lodging, food, and
other expenses. On the other hand, regular repairs and
upkeep are necessary and, depending upon the size of the
54
house, can be costly. Additionally, for larger houses, servants
will be needed to keep everything in top shape, and the cost
of not only their service, but their own food and expenses will
need to be covered as well.
For housing up to the size of a Mansion, PCs only need
enough reputation to purchase the house (see p. 78).
However, if the character wants a Castle, they also need to be
given Knighthood from the local kingdom and must serve as a
bannerman for their liege.
House can be sold at a specified price if character is willing to
accept a reduction in reputation (see p. 81).
Upgrading Houses
Houses can be upgraded in stages and need not drive the
owner bankrupt. When upgrading housing, only the
difference in cost between the player's current housing and
their desired building needs to be paid. The location of the
actual building itself can change as well, and even move across
borders (though this requires an actual upgrade, not a "side-
grade").
If upgrading their home, the character cannot use their
previous home until the upgrade is finished. If moving to a
new house, cash from the sale of the old house will be received
after moving.
Multiple homes may be purchased, and the exact grade of
each house is up to the PC buying it. However, the purchase
price and maintenance costs for each house must be paid.
Joint Ownership
A house, or larger building, may be shared by multiple PCs,
with each receiving their own room to live in. In situations like
55
this, the residence is owned by a common name, and each
resident can pay bills, though the exact split of both reputation
and Gamels doesn't have to be exactly even. Castles may be
shared, so long as at least one of the PCs sharing it have been
granted Knighthood.
Upgrading a jointly owned home is possible, so long as each
resident can agree on how the payment of reputation and
Gamels should go. It's also possible to turn a single-owner
building into a jointly owned building, allowing multiple
people to share the cost of upgrading instead of just one.
Leaving Joint Ownership and Compensation
PCs who leave joint ownership will suffer a loss of Total
Reputation equal to the reputation of the house they lost. The
remaining owners will have to cover the deficit or will lose the
residence. If this happens, each former owner will lose Total
Reputation equal to the combined reputation of all former
owners (see p. 81).
A Knighted owner of a Castle cannot willingly leave the
residence. However, the castle will be sold if the Knighted
owner is permanently removed from joint ownership (i.e., if
they die and aren't resurrected), and the money from the sale
thereof will be distributed equally among all other joint
owners.
If a PC is temporarily indisposed, such as if they leave the party
temporarily or are dead and waiting to be resurrected, then the
reputation deficit need not be covered. However, if the PC is
dead and unable to be resurrected or becomes an NPC
Revenant due to soulscar accumulation (see CR I: p. 213-218),
then they will be removed from joint ownership, and the
missing reputation needs to be accounted for.
56
Special Housing Installations
The following are special installations that can be placed in a
house. If jointly owned, the cost of such installations can be
shared among all owners.
Competent Treasurers
Treasurers are NPCs that can be hired by PCs with residences
the size of a Small Home or larger. Usually unrelated to the
PCs, this can be a family friend, relative, or old flame at the
GM's discretion.
In addition to keeping track of the books and costs of running
a house, treasurers work to manage assets and keep up on
repairs. In doing so, the Maintenance Cost of the residence is
reduced to 0.
The reputation required to hire a treasurer is equal to half that
required for the residence in question, no money required.
However, if the player wishes to upgrade their residence, they
must also pay reputation to upgrade their treasurer as well
fairly soon afterwards or lose the benefit of them. Consult with
the GM to determine what this might consist of (whether
improvement in skills, hiring an assistant, etc.).
If the residence is sold, the treasurer will leave as well, causing
a loss of Total Reputation equal to the value of the treasurer
at the time (see p. 81).
Personal Theatre Troupe
PCs and parties who own Mansions (or larger residences) can
have their own theatre company. This company is usually
assumed to be a cadre of masked performers, but can also be
an orchestra, a circus, or any other such large production.
57
The size of the troupe depends upon the amount of reputation
and money paid. For example, if the minimum amount is put
forward (50 reputation and 5,000G), then the troupe is a small
group, averaging about 5 regulars. However, if the purchaser
goes all out and goes for the maximum (1,000 reputation and
100,000G), then they'll have a massive troupe, around 100
performers. At any time, the PCs can add to the size of the
troupe, paying the appropriate reputation and money costs. It's
also possible to scale back the troupe, but this comes at a loss
to the Total Reputation of the PCs (see p. 81).
While some have a troupe for personal enjoyment, most
owners will have the troupe perform in order to defray the
maintenance and upkeep costs of running a theatre troupe. If
there's no performances, then it's likely that the troupe's
exposure to the general public will decrease, meaning that
when they do perform there won't be as many coming to see
them, leading to a loss in revenue, performers leaving due to
lack of payment, and so on.
Theatre Troupe Maintenance
1 Month's Upkeep = (2d-7) x (Reputation x 10) Gamels
For this check, Humans cannot use their racial feature
[Sword's Salvation/Change Fate].
If the result of this check is positive, then it is considered to be
profit; if negative, then there's a deficit that needs to be
covered. The PC can bypass this check (which assumes the
troupe didn't perform), in which case the dice result would be
0. If the owner has the troupe solely as a personal expense
(and not a theatre open to the public), then treat the dice result
58
as a 2. In other words, the PC needs to pay 50G times the
reputation score of the troupe every month.
If there's a deficit incurred by poor income and increasing
maintenance costs, the PC owner must cover that deficit. If
they cannot, the troupe is sold off, with an appropriate loss in
Total Reputation (see p. 81).
Exhibition Hall
PCs and parties who own Mansions (or larger residences) can
have their own exhibition hall, allowing them to display various
items and trophies they've collected over their adventuring
career. Exhibits can include the various Personal Equipment
and Specialty Items the character has found and purchased, as
well as various body parts of larger enemies they may have
slain.
Exhibition halls often have entry fees for the public, which
helps to offset the costs of maintenance and security.
Displaying various items in a hall allows a monthly income
check, similar to that of the theatre troupe.
Exhibition Hall Maintenance
1 Month's Income = (2d-6) x (Reputation x 5) Gamels
covered. The PC can bypass this check (which assumes the
hall wasn't open to the public), in which case the dice result
would be 0.
59
If there's a deficit incurred by poor income and increasing
maintenance costs, the PC owner must cover that deficit, often
by selling exhibits until they can cover the costs. If they cannot,
the hall itself is sold off, with an appropriate loss in Total
Reputation (see p. 81).
Personal Goods
Works of art, created to honor the character or group. These
works can include paintings, sculptures, biographies, songs,
plays, etc. While they tend to have no mechanical benefit to
gameplay, these works of art are very often exhibits in halls and
are a sign of a character or group's popularity and reputation.
These works have a number of factors that will cause prices to
vary wildly. Materials, size of the works, genre, etc. will all play
a part in setting the price. Additionally, the creators of said
works will also play a part in the pricing, as below:
Obscure Creator: ×½
Average Creator: ×1
First-Class Creator: ×5
Works creates by Obscure Creators are those of up-and-
comers, or those who are skilled, but in remote areas. The
actual quality of the work isn't bad, but the general public will
have a hard time believing that due to not knowing who
created it.
Some works created will only require reputation, while others
will differ wildly between reputation and gamel prices. For
those works paid for solely by reputation, they cannot be sold
for money.
60
Average Creators tend to have a good track record with their
works, and those familiar with the genre can tell their work
from others. They'll produce works of art of standard quality.
First-Class Creators are those who've become famous, even
outside of the genre they work in. These creators can have
their work recognized by most people on the street.
Over the course of a campaign, it's possible for an Obscure
Creator to get recognition and become Average, or even First-
Class. If this happens, for each of their work the PC owns,
there are two possibilities.
First, the PC could pay the difference in reputation (and
gamels, if necessary), and the work will still be seen as
something of that's creator's signature handiwork.
Otherwise, while the item will still have value, it won't be seen
as on the same level of that creator's current works. Usually, it
will be written off as "part of the learning experience", or "rough
work from a rough era of the creator".
In either case, the actual value of the work (for determining
sale price and value as an exhibit) will be determined by the
reputation paid for it.

Personal Titles and Nicknames
Titles honoring an individual are listed below. While anyone

can come up with a nickname for themselves, it won't really
spread until the character earns some reputation to go along
with that nickname. These titles, earned through reputation,
ensure that a nickname will be as valid as a real name.
Titles are often created by combining multiple words, and the
exact combination is left up to the players. They can also
change a few things around, add particles, change cases, etc. in
order to make sure the title is grammatically correct. For
example, by choosing "Red" and "Warrior", the character could
use "Red Warrior", "Warrior of Red", "Crimson Warrior", and
so on. However, once decided, this title cannot change.
65
Each title has a certain reputation required in order to use it.
Words that leave stronger impressions will cost more, and
monster names in particular will cost as much as the monster's
level. If a player asks for a word not on any of the tables below,
it's up to the GM to determine the reputation cost.
Word Combinations
Generally, a title is composed of two words, but some can be
three or more words.
Characters can extend their current titles in a few different
ways. The easiest is to just add words onto the title, such as
adding "Furious" to "Red Warrior", giving the character the title
of "Furious Red Warrior". Another would be to create another
title as an alias. However, words combined previously cannot
be changed. For example, if "Brave" and "Soldier" were
combined for "Brave Soldier", then if "War" was chosen after
that the character couldn't re-title themselves "Brave War
Soldier", as "Brave Soldier" was already combined previously.
If a character wants a new title but doesn't want to tie it to their
currently existing title, they can start going by the new title, with
the old title being a "formerly" or "previously known as". It's
also possible to have a title be region-specific, so the same
character can have multiple titles depending upon where in the
world they are.
Removing a Title
If a PC claims a title, they should try to act in ways that uphold
that title. If the character's behavior strays too far, the GM
should warn the player about their actions. If these warnings
are often ignored, the GM should offer a final warning, then
strip the character of their title (and the appropriate Total
66
Reputation that comes with it) if they keep ignoring their poor
behavior (see p. 81).
For example, a title like "Boggart Killer" assumes the character
will kill Boggarts if they show up. However, if the character
leaves NPCs they were escorting to the Boggarts and flees, it
would be grounds to strip that title from the character. It is OK
to not have run into the particular situation that your title
aspires to, but once that situation presents itself it's important
to at least attempt to keep in line with the title.
Impersonating characters with famous titles, or claiming titles
the character never intends on achieving, can be done.
However, if this impersonation or false title is discovered, the
character will immediately lose the impersonated title's
reputation from their Total Reputation (see p. 81).
Joking Titles
There are some titles that are very obviously joking titles and
are not meant to be taken seriously. Words like "Phony" or
"Self-Proclaimed" should make it clear that the title is
something the character doesn't take seriously. If these are
added, there is no obligation to take the title seriously (as
people will only see "Phony" or "Fake").
The required reputation for these titles is -5; that is, the entire
reputation cost of the title will be reduced by -5 points for each
of these epithets in it.
In the future, it is possible to remove such words from a title
by paying 5 reputation. However, in doing so the character will
need to begin abiding by the title.
67
Same Title
A PC can't choose a title that's obviously the same as someone
else's. However, if a character shows up at a later point and
coincidentally has the same title, both characters may continue
to use it.
Party Titles
Much like PCs, a party can earn a title for the entire group.
Each party member must pay the reputation for the title, and
leaving the party also removes the party title causing a loss of
Total Reputation (see p. 81). Outside of those rules, choosing
a party title is the same as choosing a title for an individual PC.

Social Positioning
Knighthood, Courts, and the Crown

With enough of a reputation, PCs can end up being knighted,
given rank in the noble courts, or even given a small kingdom
to rule over. While each country has their own ranks to work
through, the table below is just an example, and can be
modified by the GM as they see fit.
As a general rule, knighthood is just for that character, and is
not a hereditary title passed down among generations.
Regardless of gender, knights are typically addressed with the
moniker "Sir".
The title of Baron is the lowest noble rank, able to pass down
both the title and territory they rule to their descendants. Earls
are the next step up, allowing more freedom and controlling
more territory, and the title of Marquis is the highest noble
rank. A Duke is still technically a noble but is on the level of
actually being a possible successor to the throne. However, just
having the possibility isn't enough; the Duke must be able to
pay the appropriate amounts of reputation and money in
order to actually ascend to the throne.
Noble ranks are gifted with territories to rule over, and through
those PCs are able to make money. However, there is also the
cost of domestic affairs, troubles, and general day-to-day
expenses. Much like owning a troupe, there is a check to see
how much the monthly income is from these territories.
Territory Maintenance
(2d - 7) × (Noble Rank Expenditure）= 1 month's income (G)
78
covered. The PC can bypass this check, in which case the dice
result would be 0. If there's a deficit incurred by poor income
and increasing maintenance costs, the PC owner must cover
that deficit. If they cannot, their title and land are sold off, with
an appropriate loss in Total Reputation (see p. 81).
Characters can have multiple ranks; in which case each rank
needs to be paid for and maintained individually.
Heirs and Regents

Listed below on the table, an heir is someone of noble rank
who has succession rights to the throne. These tend to be
princes or princesses, or children of local Dukes, but are
considered to be of the opposite gender of the PC. This is not
a rank one can attain, but more of an arranged marriage into
nobility, often with the hopes of gaining control of the local
crown. However, in order to arrange such a marriage, the PC
does need to pay half of the reputation and money needed to
take the throne to the noble parents.
In the meantime, these heirs tend to be fairly generous with
their spending and require a lot of money each month. When
performing a monthly Maintenance check (for a troupe,
exhibition hall, etc.), if the PC is engaged to an heir any income
will not change, but any deficits will be increased fivefold.
A PC cannot be engaged to more than one heir apparent at
the same time. Additionally, same-gender relationships, while
79
not disallowed, do not allow the PC to inherit any sort of land
or title.
These NPCs can be given the title "heir apparent", in which
case they are guaranteed to be the next in line to succeed the
crown. In doing so, the PC must pay an additional ¼ of the
required reputation (albeit no money is required), and the
additional 5x expenditure disappears.
While is it in poor taste to break off such an arranged
marriage, characters may do so, but lose Total Reputation
equivalent to the reputation paid to court the heir (see p. 81).
Succession of Heirs
When an heir succeeds to the throne, a new territory will be
created. If a PC is engaged or married to said heir, then they
too will be in control of the new territory.
In the meantime, when showing interest in an heir, the GM
should determine the heir's place in the lines of succession.
The easiest, and recommended, method is to use 1d, but the
player and GM may collaborate and make the final decision.
At the end of each session, as long as the heir is still alive and
active in the campaign, the PC should roll 1d to check the
status of the heir's succession.
a) The result is [1], and the heir's position is [1] → The
heir succeeds to the crown.
b) The result is [2~6], and the heir's position is less than
the roll → The heir moves up a position in line.
c) The result was higher than the heir's position →
Nothing happens.

Renowned Item Loss and Reputation Loss
On occasion, a PC may end up losing Renowned Items.

Sometimes, these items may be voluntarily given away, via sale
or trade. Sold Renowned Items will return the same amount
of money paid, at least for those Renowned Items that can be
sold (so things such as Titles, Poems, etc. cannot be sold).
Other times, there may be an involuntary loss, such as through
theft of items, or failure to uphold a title.
81
Regardless of how the PC loses these honors, they not only
remove the item from their character sheet, but also deduct
the cost of these items from their Total Reputation score. This
represents the loss of famous items or titles, and the
appropriate loss of recognition that comes with it. For
example, someone with the title "The Black Knight" won't be
taken seriously without an appropriate black suit of armor.
Regaining these items will restore the lost reputation.
Courtly Debts
Knights, Nobles, and heirs can take on debt against their
position in order to make money quickly. By reducing both
Current and Total Reputation by multiples of 100, a character
can come up with 10,000G per 100 reputation in order to
cover any other debts they may have incurred.
Of course, it is still possible to sell of their social rank in order
to pay back debts, but this will incur a loss of Total Reputation
as well.
GM Notes: Stealing Renowned Items
It is always an option to have the goal of any given session be
"Reclaim the stolen Renowned Items", however, do give the
PC a chance to prevent the theft. Also, don't use this particular
plot hook too often, as then the PCs will feel that they are being
unfairly targeted, as well as having it seem that the GM wants
to take these items away permanently, instead of just as a
temporary plot device.
82
Part 3 Data
83
Classes
This section describes the new Other-Type Classes (see CR I:

p. 219-227) Enhancer and Bard, as well as their various
skillsets.
Enhancer Class
Enhancer Minor Class

Infusing their own body with mana to create advantages in
battle, Enhancers are a very physical class. While Enhancers
don't allow for the use of any sort of weapons, armor or magic,
they instead use various Techniques in combat, making them
very dangerous even when completely unequipped. While
Techniques do cost MP to activate and use, the Enhancer class
does not add to the character's MP pool.
Enhancers are not proficient with any checks.
Learning Techniques
Each time a character takes a level in Enhancer, they may

choose one Technique from the following list, and learn that
Technique. Some Techniques require a minimum Enhancer
level in order to learn and cannot be learned by those
Enhancers of lower level. For example, a 5th Level Enhancer
would know five different Techniques, and would be able to
learn any Technique that requires a 5th level or lower
Enhancer.
84
Targets of Techniques
Techniques are trained skills that strengthen and change the

body. However, one's body requires vigorous training in order
to activate a Technique and not seriously injure themselves, so
Techniques are only able to affect the character performing
them. Even if a character has multiple sections, only the
section performing the Technique will be able to see any
benefit. Each section can use their own Technique
simultaneously though, if applicable.
Movement Restrictions
In order to use a Technique in combat, characters are limited
to taking either a Normal Move or a Limited Move. Running
all out via a Full Move prevents a Technique from being used
that same round.
Using a Technique
Activating a Technique is a Minor Action, and does not

require any checks to be made, nor do any vocalizations or
gestures need to be made. In general, Techniques can be used
as many times in a round as wanted, though the actual effect
of any given Technique cannot be duplicated or stacked. Of
course, there are always exceptions, such as Techniques that
can only be used once per round, or Techniques that explicitly
have cumulative effects.
85
MP Consumption
Unless stated otherwise, a Technique costs 3 MP to activate.
This may change due to Combat Feats or may be paid with
from a Mako Stone.
Ending a Technique
Techniques with a duration may be ended at the discretion of
the user, as a Minor Action.
Techniques aren’t Magical
Since Techniques are explicitly not magical, spells like "Dispel
Magic" or Combat Feats like [Wordbreak] will not work. Only
effects explicitly called out as being able to end a Technique,
such as "Perfect Cancellation", will work. Additionally, spells
like "Sense Magic" or "Mana Search" will not detect active
Techniques.
At the same time, Combat Feats like [Metamagic/**] will not
work to alter the characteristics of any Technique. On the
other hand, there is a Combat Feat introduced later, called
[Muscle Mystery], that will only affect Techniques.
How to Read Techniques
Required Level
At the top of each list of Techniques, there is a header, "○
Level Enhancer Required". The ○ will show how many levels
of Enhancer a character needs in order to learn any of the
Techniques under that header.
86
① Name
The name of the Technique. Since Techniques can be used
as a Minor Action, there will always be a ☆ after the name, the
same as with spells.
② Duration
The time the Technique lasts, in rounds. Specifically, when
counting in rounds, the duration counts down at the beginning
of each of the Enhancer's turn.
③ Summary
A quick explanation of the Technique.
④ Effect
An in-depth look at the specifics of the Technique. The word
"user" is used for the character who uses the technique.
87

93
Bard Class
Bard Minor Class

Masters of music, Bards are capable of performing such
intoxicating songs that leave one unsure if the performance
itself was magic. Able to support a large number of allies,
Bards are unique battlefield assistants and incredible force
multipliers. While many of their Spellsongs have similar
effects to many spells, they do not require MP to use.
Bards are also well-traveled, learning the local languages on
their way from one area to another. For each level of Bard a
character takes, they can learn the verbal aspect of any
language of their choice (including Grassrunner). However,
Bards do not automatically learn the written forms of any
languages they can speak.
Bards are proficient in Insight skill (see CR I: p. 117-137).
Learning Spellsongs
Each time a character takes a level in Bard, they may choose

one Spellsong from the following list, and learn that Spellsong.
Some Spellsongs require a minimum Bard level in order to
learn and cannot be learned by those Bards of lower level. For
example, a 5th Level Bard would know five different
Spellsongs, and would be able to learn any Spellsong that
requires a 5th level or lower Bard.
94
Spellsong Requirements
Movement Restrictions
When using a Spellsong in combat (whether activating one for
the first time, or continuing to play an already ongoing
Spellsong), the performing Bard may only take a Limited
Move. Any faster movement would disrupt the Bard from
being able to continue playing.
Instrument
In order to use a Spellsong, a musical instrument is required.
Averaging about 100G, the instrument must be capable of
performing melodies in order to be used in this fashion. Both
hands would be required to play Spellsongs, which naturally
precludes the use of any sort of weapon or shield.
Depending upon the specific Spellsong, singing might be
required as well. If unable to speak, Spellsongs that require
singing are unable to be used, and those that have optional
singing effects will be unable to activate those extra effects.
Spellsongs aren’t Magical

Despite the name, Spellsongs are not actually magical effects,
so spells like "Sense Magic" and "Mana Search" will not detect
any active effects of a Spellsong.
95
Using Spellsongs
Using a Spellsong is a Major Action and takes up the bulk of

a Bard's turn. If a Spellsong requires a Magic Power check,
that check will usually be "Bard Level + Spirit Bonus". If the
Spellsong persists over a number of rounds (see p. 98), the
same check result is used, without rolling each round.
Some Spellsongs have a prelude (see p. 99), which will delay
the effect of that Spellsong, but for the most part Spellsongs
will take effect immediately.
Combat Feats such as [Magic Control] and [Metamagic/Area]
have no effect on Spellsongs, though there are Combat Feats
that do affect Spellsongs.
Targets of Spellsongs (Range of Effect)

Due to their loud nature, Spellsongs will indiscriminately affect
all those who hear them. The area of effect is centered on the
Bard and affects a range equal to the character's Bard Level x
10m radius. If the Bard happens to move while playing (see p.
98), the affected area will move with them.
Bards have the option to exclude themselves from their
effects. If a Bard has multiple body sections, this exclusion
does not discriminate; if the Bard chooses to exclude
themselves from the effects of a Spellsong, all sections will be
excluded. If the Bard wished to include themselves in their
Spellsong's effects, then all sections are included. There is no
in-between.
Overlapping Effect Areas
When it comes to multiple Bards playing different Spellsongs,
only the Bard with the highest Magic Power check result (as
96
noted above) will have their Spellsong's effects active. In case
of a tie, the Bard who has been playing for longer will have
their effects take precedence.
Spellsong Resistance
Some Spellsongs can have their effects be resisted with a

Willpower check, effectively negating the Spellsong for that
character, and this will be noted in their description. If a
Spellsong does not have this notation, then it is assumed that
the Spellsong will always affect those who can hear it.
Bardic Advantage
If a Bard hears a Spellsong being performed, even if they
cannot see the performer, they immediately know the name
and effect of the Spellsong.
On the other hand, non-Bards may be able to understand that
a Spellsong is being played if they've been exposed to
Spellsongs in the past but will be unable to determine the exact
name and effect of a particular Spellsong. Monsters in
particular will need to make a Willpower check for each
Spellsong that allows resistance.
Spellsongs and Hearing

In order for a character to be affected by a Spellsong, they
must be able to hear the music being performed. Even if the
Spellsong doesn't allow for resistance, if a character cannot
hear a Spellsong being performed, they will be unaffected by
it.
Characters who can hear may plug their ears, granting them a
+2 bonus to resist the effects of the Spellsong. However, in
97
doing so, they also receive a -2 penalty for being hard of
hearing for those checks that would be affected (see p. 44).
Entering and Exiting the Area of Effect

As long as the Bard continues to play their Spellsong, it will
affect all those within the area of effect. However, if a character
moves out of that area and stays out at the end of their
movement, the effect of the Spellsong immediately ends for
that character.
If, however, a character moves into the area of effect from
outside of it, they will be affected by the Spellsong at the end
of the next character's turn. If the Spellsong requires a
Willpower check, it will be made at that point.
If a character decides to move such that they are in the
Spellsong's area of effect at the beginning and end of the move,
even if they moved outside of the area of effect during their
movement, then they do not lose the benefit of the Spellsong.
Continuing Spellsongs
Some Spellsongs can have their effects extend over several

turns, so long as the Bard performing them chooses to
continue performing. If they do choose to continue playing,
Major Actions cannot be taken, only Minor Actions, and even
then, Minor Actions that do not involve gestures or
vocalization cannot be performed.
If a character fails their check to resist the Spellsong, they
remain under the effect for as long as the Spellsong continues.
However, if they pass the check to resist Spellsong's effects,
they do not need to continue to make additional saves. If a
character who has previously resisted Spellsong leaves the area
98
of effect, then later re-enters the area of effect in a different
round, they will still remain immune to the effects of the
Spellsong (so long as it is still the same Spellsong being
performed).
The Bard performing the Spellsong may, at the beginning of
their turn, choose to end the Spellsong they are performing. If
they do so, then as their Major Action that same turn, they may
choose to begin playing another Spellsong. Even if this new
Spellsong is the same one the Bard was playing prior, it is still
treated as a new Spellsong for the purposes of any checks and
resistances that need to be made.
Preludes
Some Spellsongs require a small amount of time to pass before

they begin to have an effect. If a Spellsong requires a prelude
like this, it will be noted in the Spellsong description.
Once a Spellsong that require a prelude begin to be played,
each time the player's turn begins, time is counted as if 10
seconds (one round) had elapsed. At the end of the turn, when
the time required for the prelude has elapsed, the Spellsong
will take effect.
If the Spellsong requires any checks to be made (for example
to determine the Magic Power of the Spellsong, or to resist the
effects of it), they are made when the Spellsong goes into
effect, not when the Spellsong is first played. However, if it's
necessary to determine the Magic Power of a Spellsong before
that point (for example, if two Bards begin playing and their
areas of effect overlap), then the check is made at that point,
and carries forward.
99
Characters entering the area of effect after the Spellsong has
begun will be affected by the Spellsong once the required
prelude time has elapsed. The time calculation isn't so strict as
to determine exactly when the character enters the area of
effect but simplifies it down to "one round has passed when
the player's turn starts.
If a character leaves the area of effect before the prelude time
has elapsed, they receive no effect from the Spellsong. If they
leave and re-enter the area of effect, then the prelude time is
reset to 0, and the requisite time must pass again.
Ending Spellsongs
A Spellsong's effects end once the performing Bard ceases

playing. They can also be ended through some spells, as well
as some special abilities. Unless otherwise noted, a Spellsong
is treated as a Psychic-attribute effect and can be removed via
applicable effects.
If the Spellsong itself is stopped, any lingering effect is
immediately lost. However, the player may choose to start
playing again on their next turn and may even choose to
perform the same Spellsong.
If a specific character resists the Spellsong's effects, the
Spellsong can continue to be played, but that character will be
able to ignore any effects that come from that Spellsong.
100
Singing
Some Spellsongs require singing lyrics along with playing an

instrument in order to get the full effect of the Spellsong. If the
Bard is using any sort of wind instrument, such as a flute or
other instrument that requires the character's breath to
function, then they cannot perform any of these Spellsongs.
Lyrics sung by the Bard in these Spellsongs are special words
from ancient times, passed down across the generations. At
this point, even the singers don't understand the words and
their meanings, though there are often attempts to decipher
these old songs. Even though the exact translation of these
lyrics have been lost to time, Bards know well enough that they
still have power within them, released through the Spellsongs.
One theory is that these songs date back to the old Schnell
period, when the gods themselves walked Raxia. However,
even though the "Tongues" spell these lyrics cannot be
deciphered.
Requests/Guiding Lyrics
Some Spellsongs can ask or order the target to do a task.
When using such Spellsongs, the Bard weaves the request into
the lyrics of the Spellsong, using a language that they can speak.
Only those who understand the request (i.e., those who can
understand the same language the Bard is speaking) will be
compelled to act accordingly.
101
Pets
Some Bards are skilled enough to charm various pets to follow

them, playing their own Spellsongs as well. Rules for these pets
are detailed below.
Buying Pets
When a character takes their 3rd level in Bard, they may
choose to have a pet aid them in playing Spellsongs. These
pets are chosen from among birds, frogs, and insects. Each
category of pet allows a different set of Spellsongs to be
performed.
While specific species and individual characteristics should be
hashed out between the player and GM, these pets do not have
any HP or MP, nor do they have any in-game characteristics
outside of these Spellsong-related abilities.
At 5th level and 7th level, the Bard may take an additional pet,
to a maximum of 3 pets at any given time.
Pets are priced at a minimum of 100G. While the Bard is free
to acquire more expensive pets, this does not change the
game's numbers.
Assisted Performances
When the Bard begins performing a Spellsong, unless
specifically ordered not to, the Bard's pets will begin to
perform along with them. However, if there are any lyrics that
need to be recited, the pet will not be able to recite them.
At the end of the Bard's next round, they can have their pet
take over performing. This is treated the same as if the Bard
themselves were performing the Spellsong, down to keeping
102
the result of any checks made, and can continue as long as the
Bard chooses to have the Spellsong continue to play.
A Bard can use a Minor Action to signal a pet to stop
performing. This signal can be completely nonverbal, can only
be a simple gesture or words, and does not need to be unique
for each pet. If a Bard has multiple pets, they may stop each
pet's performance individually.
Even if they watch and learn the gestures and words to do so,
a Bard cannot signal another Bard's pets to stop singing.
Once a pet stops performing a particular Spellsong, it will not
resume performing that particular Spellsong again. However,
if the Bard stops playing, then begins a new Spellsong (even if
they're just replaying the original Spellsong), then any pets will
begin to accompany the Bard during that new Spellsong.
Pet's Area of Effect

Regardless of the Bard class level, a pet's area of effect will
always be a 10m radius. Basically, the pet will sit on the
shoulders of the Bard, or in their pockets, or some other out
of the way spot, keeping their position with the player. Much
like with the Bard normally, if the pet moves, the area of effect
moves with them.
Pets can continue to perform even if the Bard takes a Normal
Move or a Full Move. However, if the pet leaves the owner,
the Spellsong will end immediately.
Pet Limitations
Pets can only sing up to 3 Spellsongs a day, and even then, the
maximum a pet can perform a specific Spellsong is 1 hour. If
the Bard chooses to tell the pet not to accompany them when
103
beginning to play a Spellsong, then that Spellsong will not
count against the pet's limitations.
Attacking Pets
Typically, any pets accompanying the Bard are immune to
being attacked and can avoid being affected by any wide-area
effects. However, if the Bard uses the pet for something other
than performing a Spellsong (for example the Bard wants to
use a bird with them as a carrier pigeon), then the attack and
wide-area effect immunity goes away. When exposed to the
dangers of dungeons and combat, it is almost impossible for
the pet to survive in such situations.
Ultimately, though, the survival of the pet rests with the GM.
How to Read Spellsongs
Required Level
At the top of each list of Spellsongs, there is a header, "○ Level
Bard Required". The ○ will show how many levels of Bard a
character needs in order to learn any of the Spellsongs under
that header.
① Name
The name of the Spellsong.
② Prelude
If the Spellsong has a prelude needed before it takes effect,
the time needed will be listed here.
104
③ Singing
Indicates if the Spellsong has an effect that requires singing.
“-”: No singing required.
"Required": The Spellsong requires singing in order to
function.
"Control": The Spellsong requires singing, and the Bard may
also control the listeners in some way, so long as they can
understand the Bard.
④ Summary
A quick explanation of the Spellsong.
⑤ Resistance
If the Spellsong allows the listener to resist the effects, it will
be noted here.
⑥ Pet
Shows which pets may accompany the Bard. If there is a -,
then the Spellsong doesn't allow any pet accompaniment. In
105
general, if singing is "Required" or allows "Control" of another
character(s), then pets cannot accompany the Bard.

This jaunty melody awakens any sleeping characters. Those
asleep naturally wake up without issue, but if a character was
put to sleep magically, the Bard needs to make a Magic Power
check against the magical effect. If the Bard's result is higher
Eff. than the magical sleep's caster, the character will wake up.
While the Bard is playing this Spellsong, characters cannot
naturally fall asleep. Spells and magical effects that try to put
characters to sleep must pass an opposed check against the
Bard's Magic Power.

A mysterious melody, this Spellsong drives those who hear it to

Limited Move, though, the character will do so. Characters
already able to see the Bard are unaffected by this Spellsong.
Charming Prelude - Singing Control
Coerce listeners
Sum. Res. Yes Pet -
to perform a task
This lilting refrain fascinates the listeners, making them more
susceptible to suggestions. If a listener fails to resist this
Spellsong, the Bard can weave a task to be done into the lyrics,
such as "run-away" or "stop fighting". This task cannot be one
Eff. that would bring harm to the listener. If the listener fails another
Willpower check, they then attempt to perform the given task
to the best of their ability. This effect ends if the listener loses
HP or MP (even if it's as little as 1 point), or if another character
spends a Major Action to return them to sanity.

A startling melody that awakens a primal dread within the
listeners. For those who fail to resist this Spellsong, after the

has no effect on behavior or speech.

Causes

A wistful tune, this Spellsong invokes feelings of days long past
in the hearts of its listeners, causing them to wish to go back
home. If in combat, those affected by the Spellsong attempt to
retreat from the battlefield and escape. This Spellsong also has
no effect if the listener is already at home.
Eff.
Once affected, listeners will be under the effects of this
Spellsong for 1 hour, even if they move out of the Bard's area
of effect or the Bard stops performing the Spellsong. After 1
hour, or if the listener manages to return home, the Spellsong's
effect ends.

This buoyant ballad stimulates romance, literally causing "love

partner of their choice, with current lovers/spouses taking
precedence over random people. If current partners are not
nearby, the closest available partner for the listener's orientation
will be subject to these magically enhanced feelings, regardless
Eff.
of race. If no applicable partners are within the area of effect,
the Spellsong has no effect.
Those with budding romantic feelings will attempt to see if the
partner reciprocates these feelings, while current partners will
attempt to retire to act on these feelings. The effects of this
Spellsong lasts for 1 hour, even if the Bard stops performing.

Threadbare Prelude minute Singing Control

Sum. Res. Yes Pet -
equipment
This delightfully whimsical and breezy melody has listeners feel
free and unhindered. As part of the lyrics, the Bard can choose
one of the following: Weapon, Shield, Armor, (Decoration
Slot), or Clothing. Affected listeners must do their best to
remove the named item.
Weapons, Shields, and Decorations are removed as a Minor
Action, taking 10 seconds (1 round) to do so, and are either
dropped or sheathed/holstered.
Eff.
Armor requires Major Actions to remove and takes 10 seconds
(1 round) per point of Defense to remove.
Clothing requires 30 seconds (3 rounds) to disrobe and does

include underwear. If a character is asked to remove Clothing
while wearing Armor, they must remove the Armor first.
112
Once the chosen item is removed, characters can act freely, but
cannot re-equip the removed items, nor any substitutes.
The Bard may decide to change their lyrics mid-song, in an

attempt to remove another article. This does force another
Willpower check to resist the effects. Additionally, if the first
article has not been completely removed when the lyrics are
changed, the affected listeners can choose to either re-equip the
removed items (taking the same amount of time they spent
removing it), or finish removing the first article before moving
to the next. As above, once removed, the item cannot be re-
equipped, even if the lyrics are changed.
This Spellsong is only effective within line of sight of the Bard

performing it. If a listener can escape the gaze of the Bard at
least once, the effect of the Spellsong immediately ends.
113
Magic
Additions and Changes
The following are new aspects added in "Core Rulebook II".

Same Names
Spells with numbered names, such as "Protection" and
"Protection II" are considered to be the same spell, and thus
their effects will not overlap.
Multiple Attributes
When bestowing attributes on melee or ranged attacks, such
as with "Fire Weapon" (see CR I: p. 240-248) or "Icicle
Weapon" (see p. 121), multiple attributes cannot be applied to
the same weapon. For example, if "Icicle Weapon" is cast on a
weapon that is already being affected by "Fire Weapon", the
target must choose which effect they wish to retain.
If a spell increases damage without applying an attribute, it will
overlap with spells that apply attributes. However, even with
"Fairy Weapons" (see p. 183), a single weapon cannot have
multiple attributes.
Range: Infinite
This new range increment allows the caster to affect the target
no matter where they are, regardless of line of sight.
114
Resistance: Temporary
A spell may have Temporary resistance. Even with a successful
save, the spell will still have an effect for 10 seconds (1 round).

was the one who created not only the Elves, but all the nature
faeries and spirits that inhabit Raxia. Some even believe that
Asteria herself is an elf, though there isn't much more than
word of mouth to confirm that.
Because of her carefree nature, Asteria has gotten a reputation
as being a bit of a bohemian, and thus some artists and creators
have put their faith in her as well. This has led to her becoming
known as a patron of the arts, and even some barbarous have
followed her teachings because of the freedom that she is said
to provide.
"Blazing Emperor", Grendal
The god of the cycle of destruction and rebirth, often
symbolized through the power of fire. This is Grendal's
domain, given to him directly from the First Sword, Lumiere.
198
It is this cycle that has led many dwarves to his worship, and in
fact Grendal is often considered the patron creator of the
dwarves.
Grendal, much like the fire he represents, has a very aggressive
nature, and is also the god of war and warriors. Many in the
military at least pay mouth service to Grendal, if not devote
themselves to his service in the hopes of winning. He is also
paid tribute by those who work with fire on a regular basis,
such as blacksmiths, bakers, potters, and other craftsmen.
Despite his domain being that of both destruction and
recreation, there are barbarous followers of Grendal who
simply follow the destruction aspect, pushing all else aside.
Dwarves especially dislike these barbarous, and many dwarves
have set out to settle these clashes in ideology.
Major Gods
"God of Drinking", Sacaros
The god of alcohol and drinking, as well as brewing alcohol,
Sacaros is often depicted as a heavy-set, handsome man. He
teaches that drinking, and drinking happily, makes friends
rather than enemies, and that it is better to drink than to fight.
In a roundabout manner, merchants have used this idea to
promote communication and trade, and Sacaros has also
gained followers as the god of business relationships and
prosperity.
Of course, being the god of drinking and interaction, Sacaros
also promotes relationships between men and women.
However, he also has the reputation of being a god of
confusion and corruption due to his drinking in excess, so
there are those who don't wish to have any followers of his
nearby. Even in adventuring camps, there are often many
199
different followers of his, between merchants, prostitutes, and
brewers.
Minor Gods
"Fusion God", Lills
A young god who controls love, and all that it entails. They are
worshiped in the western part of Zalts, mainly in the Kingdom
of Fendil.
Originally a pair of lovers, Lilku and Rilni, who were left
behind in a collapsed building during the Great Catastrophe.
It is said that they gained their divinity by guidance from the
Moon Goddess Sien, who was impressed by the two figures
who did not give up and survived for 10 days under the fallen
pillar.
Both of them were injured over a large part of their bodies, so
they were fused to make up for each other and became gods.
Therefore, they are a god that is often expressed as a figure
with two heads, a man and a woman, or an androgynous figure.
They have many young followers, and weddings in their
temple are becoming more and more common. However,
there are few devout priests, and temples with their remains
and relics are still more common as tourist sites than religious
centers.
"God of Clothing", Nilda
A goddess of cloth and clothing, Nilda became a goddess
during the period. However, she was never a major deity, only
really followed by weavers and spinners in the Zalts region.
During the Great Catastrophe, however, it was said an old
woman used various cloths and sewing techniques to create
200
illusions to deceive and drive away many barbarous from the
battlefields. Rumor has it that this old woman was, in fact, the
goddess Nilda, though no one can confirm this.
In modern times, Nilda has found a small resurgence of
followers, mainly among those interested in beauty and
fashion. Many urban merchants give thanks to Nilda, and this
tradition has rubbed off on the many young women who
frequent these shops in hopes of getting the newest fashions.
These modern depictions show Nilda as a young woman,
wrapped head to toe in a wide variety of colorful silks, veils,
and other beautiful clothes.
Residents of Raxia
Carved into existence by swords, Raxia is home to many

different races. The following section goes into detail about the
sentient races, those who have intelligence, culture, and power.
Humans (Humanoids)
Said to be the first race of Raxia, humans are still one of the
most common races to be found.
Although their abilities are quite average, there are some
differences in human looks, depending upon where they hail
from. For example, those from the northern part of the
Terastieran continent are stocky and darker skinned, often
with hair to match. However, those from the southern end of
the continent are tall, thin, and pale. Blonde hair and blue or
green eyes are fairly common among these people.
Often, human settlements are large, walled settlements with
fortified walls. Many of these are recent constructions, having
rebuilt over the ruins of the Great Catastrophe. Commonly,
201
while many follow the Gods of Light as a whole, there are quite
a few followers of the Creator Lyphos, Tidan the Sun God,
and The Knight God Zaiya.
Elves (Humanoids)
A race born in ancient times by the goddess Asteria, elves lack
the numbers of humans, but are still one of the more common
races in Raxia. While many still follow the teachings of Asteria,
there are also some who are followers of the Sun God, Tidan,
as well as the God of Wisdom, Kilhia.
Compared to humans, elves are tall and willowy, averaging
about 180 cm for males and 170 cm for females. Typical hair
colors range from blonde to silver to browns, while only those
elves who live near the seas really have any sort of color to
their normally pale skin.
While some elves will tolerate and live-in human settlements,
the majority of elves will build wooden houses along rivers and
on lakesides, preferring to live in harmony with nature. Some
even go so far as to blend in with the trees entirely, showing no
outward signs of an elven settlement. Occasionally, there are
sightings of villages set up on islets in the middle of lakes, and
often there will be sections of buildings that are entirely
underwater.
As mentioned, there are also some elves who prefer the salty
air of the seas and will build settlements near the open water.
These settlements are often attacked by Gilmen (see CR I: p.
439-452), leading to sour relationships between the two races.
Seafaring elves are typically known for their darker skin
(compared to a normal elf), as well as their penchant for
fighting and getting into combat.
202
Elves also enjoy the benefit of a long life, topping out around
500 years or so, and this long life allows them to be rather
creative. Many great works of art and music have been elven
in origin, and while the stereotype of the aloof elven artist is a
popular one, it is also not too far off from the truth. Many elves
are able to spend a significant amount of time and effort
learning various skills, whether crafting and painting, or
swordplay and sorcery.
Dwarves (Humanoids)
A race born in ancient times, given protection by the Blazing
Emperor Grendal, Dwarves are stout, stocky humanoids built
for heavy-duty work. While the majority of dwarves follow
Grendel, there are some who are followers of the Knight God
Zaiya as well, with some even paying homage to both deities.
Compared to humans, dwarves are a bit shorter (around 150
cm for men, and 140 cm for women), but are much more
muscular for their frame, giving them incredible toughness.
Dwarves also have much darker skin, often ruddy shades of
reds and browns, though their hair color can be wild colors,
from red, to silver, and even greens and pinks are occasionally
seen.
A dour folk, dwarves find joy in training, whether it be crafting,
mining, or fighting. Dwarves also live rather frugally, preferring
a fairly minimalist lifestyle, and aren't afraid to move to new
locations if they feel they can train themselves better in the
newer place.
A typical dwarven settlement is often in a mountainous region,
with underground cities carved from previously abandoned
mines. However, these settlements are mostly craftsmen and
merchants, with the majority of dwarves becoming
203
mercenaries or weapon merchants and traveling around the
countryside. Dwarven mercenaries are especially well known,
as they are reputed to keep their contract regardless of harsh
environments. Dwarves also have talent with magical abilities
as well, typically leaning towards artifice and divine magic
more than any of the others.
Because of this hard-traveling nature, it's common to see
dwarves in human settlements, often having their own
blacksmiths. Another popular occupation for dwarves,
surprisingly, if that of a chef, and many an exciting dwarven
dish has gotten the attention of the masses. In fact, these dishes
have gotten them a rivalry with the kobold chefs who've
adapted to human culture, as the kobolds (see CR I: p. 439-
452) use a variety of elaborate sauces in their cuisine.
Generally, dwarves are punctual to a fault, and often a touch
greedy as well. On the other hand, they are also seen as
stubborn and unshakable, to the point of being awkward. In
fact, given their penchant for timeliness, dwarves often run into
issues when dealing with the lackadaisical nature of elves.
Tabbits (Humanoids)
A race whose origins are unknown, tabbits claim to be "the
reincarnation of a cursed god who fell in battle during the War
of the Gods". Whether there is any truth to that claim remains
a mystery.
While the tabbit population isn't incredibly high, they are
nevertheless a common sight in human settlements, especially
if there is a library to be pored through. While an average
tabbit is around 1 m tall, their ears will typically add another
20 cm, and the rhythmic back-and-forth sway and odd gait is
what often catches people's attentions. A tabbit is covered head
204
to toe in fur, ranging in color from white to brown to black.
While omnivorous, tabbits prefer vegetable-heavy dishes over
meat, and will often have a favorite spot to eat while engrossed
in research.
Tabbits do not tend to have their own settlements but will stay
in and around areas with universities and magical guilds for
quite some time. However, when they're done with their
research, a tabbit rarely hesitates to move on to the next
library.
Tabbit children are kept around until they're old enough to be
self-sufficient (usually until they're 5-6 years old), and will
either venture out on their own, or assist their parents with
their research. Even though tabbits tend to have a high
intelligence and a lot of book knowledge, they do still have
some selfish, childish tendencies that will stick with them
throughout their lives.
Despite their incredible aptitude for most magic, tabbits
cannot "hear the voices of the gods speaking to them", and thus
do not have access to divine magic at all. In fact, the few tabbits
who have looked to the divine see this as a punishment for
being "descendants of the cursed god". There are those, even
among the tabbits themselves, that will disagree with this line
of thought.
Well aware of their shortcomings, tabbits will often stick
around humans and dwarves for protection.
Runefolk (Humanoids)
Created during the Al Menas period, these androids were far
more prevalent in Raxia than they are now. Bearing the brunt
205
of combat against the barbarous during the Great Catastrophe,
runefolk numbers are but a fraction of what they once were.
As runefolk are born from generators, what few settlements
they do have of their own are always centered around one.
Very rarely, there may be a generator in a human settlement,
allowing humans to co-manage runefolk production. Once
"born", they will shortly set out from their hometown to find
someone to serve alongside. Once treated as being socially
below humans during the Al Menas, runefolk have risen and
are seen as equals who are willing to fight against the
barbarous.
Being a man-made race, runefolk are unable to hear the divine
or see any of the natural faeries. Because of this, it is often said
that runefolk do not have a soul. Most runefolk will not answer
either way, nor do many of them care, though there are a
couple who've taken up philosophy and are looking into the
phenomenon.
In the past, runefolk were wholly subservient to the humans
who created them and controlled the generators. However,
since the Great Catastrophe, many of them have begun to
develop independence and a sense of self-esteem and are
more willing to do their own thing. Whether this is due to the
generators slowly failing, a lack of coordination between
runefolk as a race, or some other reason is as yet unknown.
However, this need for independence does have downsides,
as some runefolk have been seen in the services of the
barbarous as of late.
Once a runefolk has decided someone is their master, they
will serve that person with unwavering loyalty. While many are
often quiet, or speak rarely to others, that is not always the
206
case, and there are many different types of runefolk out in the
world.
Nightmares (Humanoids)
Said to be born when a child receives a soul scarred and
impure, nightmares are often confused for barbarous, and are
often driven away by other races. Their numbers are extremely
small, and as a race they are rarely seen in Raxia. However, it
is believed that they are so rarely found because they are
abandoned shortly after birth. Also, because they can seriously
injure, if not kill, their mother in childbirth due to their horns,
rural communities with less access to healing treatments and
magics will be more likely to abandon nightmare children after
birth.
However, nightmares born from lildraken are more common
than any other, due to the fact that lildraken are born from
eggs, and not live birth. In this case, the nightmare horns work
exceedingly well to crack the egg from inside, and they are far
less likely to be abandoned as there is no chance to harm the
mother. Such lildraken nightmares are often seen as being a
little strange but are otherwise welcome in lildraken
communities.
Regardless of their parentage, nightmares will all look the
same. Slightly taller than a human, they stand about equal with
elves, though their skin, hair and eyes are all fairly pale and
will often lack pigment entirely. Despite this, they are still slim,
lithe humanoids ready to spring at a moment's notice.
Because of their small population, nightmares don't really
have settlements of their own, and are often on the outskirts
of any settlement that is willing to take them in in the first place.
207
As such, there isn’t really a "nightmare culture", as they will
pick up on the cultural norms and mores of their environment.
There are many nightmares who live up to the corrupted
nature of their birth, but there are just as many who seek faith,
and through that their own salvation. They also have
incredible magical aptitude, and because of their talents many
nightmares will find not only success, but wealth and fame (or
infamy) in the meritocracy that is the adventuring world.
Shadows (Humanoids)
Mainly seen on the continent of Razeldawn, shadows are easily
distinguished by their pale grey skin and three eyes. Lithe and
willowy, their slim frame belies an incredible physical prowess.
Standing slightly taller than humans, male shadows average
around 180 cm, while female shadows only 160 cm. Their
cheery disposition during peacetime hides the precision killing
machine that shows itself during times of war. Rarely seen for
much of Raxia's existence, shadows began to show up in
numbers to fight against the barbarous during the Great
Catastrophe.
A mercenary race, a shadow is well known and respected
amongst warriors due to their righteous fury, their
unwillingness to renege on a promise, and their pride in their
skills and abilities. They are also highly resistant to magic and
combined with their night vision many believe they have been
blessed by the Moon Goddess Sien. These abilities also give
them nearly unmatched potential as a spy, or even as an
assassin if necessary.
Because of their innate magic resistance, however, very few
shadows take the time to learn any sort of magic. The few that
208
do manage earn a significant amount of respect among their
peers, and are incredibly dangerous opponents, not to be
trifled with.
Lildraken (Humanoids)
Although dragons existed as forces of nature long before even
the human race, their arms were not designed to hold a sword,
and thus could not grab hold of any of the Swords of Creation.
However, as humans spread throughout Raxia, being a tool-
using race, they were able to wield the Swords of Creation, and
create different tools and cultures. Eventually, one of the
humans found the dragons, and uplifted them using the power
of Lumiere into the race they are now.
While small compared to dragons, lildraken will stand at least
2 m tall, if not taller due to their large tail and long wings.
There is little that is obviously different between the genders,
and other races will often confuse men for women and vice
versa. Their whole body is covered in fine scales, often cool
colors such as blues and greens with purples and reds being
much rarer. Some even have scales fine enough to look akin
to hair, or even a mane.
Lildraken have had their own nation since time immemorial
and have interacted and traded with many of the ancient
civilizations with records dating back to the Durandal period.
Led by their smartest and wisest kings, they travel around the
world, keeping trade as one of their highest priorities.
Contrary to their harsh exterior, lildraken are a happy,
cheerful folk, welcoming of most other races and cultures.
Many lildraken cities and towns have buildings developed and
constructed by humans and dwarves, decorated with textiles
from elves and others. Lildraken cuisine is entirely
209
carnivorous, with some dishes even serving raw meat, but they
can consume dishes from other cultures without issue.
Drinking is also enjoyed by many lildraken, though they will
become incredibly drowsy after only a few drinks.
Because of their physique, lildraken are often asked to
become enforcers and guards, and are quite often seen as
members of traveling caravans. Paying homage to the Creator
God, Lyphos, the God of Wanderers Lu Lode, and the God
of Drinking Sacaros, lildraken are quite religious, and will
often give thanks to those gods they see as major parts of their
culture.
Unlike most races, lildraken are born from eggs, not through
live birth. A lildraken typically lays one egg at a time and will
lay several over the course of their life. Specialized hatcheries
will keep these eggs warm, and while there is little emotion
shared from parent to child, those lildraken that are born
around the same time treat each other as close siblings
regardless of their actual relations to one another.
Grassrunners (Humanoids)
A race that has recently started to be seen around Raxia, the
origins of the grassrunners is incredibly mysterious, with no
records of any showing up throughout Raxia's history. Really,
they've only started to be noticed here and there due to their
natural wanderlust.
A short race, grassrunners only stand around 1 m tall, and are
very often confused for human children. However, the
pointed ears sticking out from underneath the usually dark
hair are a dead giveaway of a grassrunner. Grassrunners are
incredibly cheery and optimistic as well, even though they do
210
have a bad reputation for "accidentally" taking items without
permission.
Constantly wandering, grassrunners do not have any sort of
settlements of their own and will often wander due to strong
instincts to stay on the move, really only stopping for any
significant period of time to have and raise children. Any sort
of history of the race is lost to time, as grassrunners don't keep
any sort of memoir or journal. Despite this lack of past
experiences to draw from, grassrunners are almost completely
unfazed, and will live life to the fullest regardless of what
happened in the past.
A peculiar quirk of grassrunners is their difficulty in collecting
and using mana. There are very few spellcasters among the
grassrunners, though this quirk does allow them to have a
significant resilience against any sort of magical effects.
Grassrunners are also often seen around ancient ruins and
have been seen to talk to some monsters that live
underground. Some scholars are looking into these
coincidences, seeing if there is any sort of causal relationship
between the two, but nothing has been confirmed one way or
another.
Newman (Humanoids)
During the Durandal period, research was conducted in an
attempt to make a superior human, one that could evolve
beyond the limits of humanity. As a result, the Newman race
was created. Similar in height to a human, a newman has
massively increased intelligence, incredible magical aptitude,
and an almost flawless appearance.
211
However, the experiment was a failure. While newmans did
have increased intelligence and magical potential, this came at
the cost of poor health, and a horrifically shortened lifespan
when compared to a human.
At the same time, when the Durandal period came to an end,
the history of the newman experiment, as well as the newman
race, were thought lost forever. In fact, it was assumed that
newmans were extinct after the fall of the Durandal. Ironically,
though, it was the earth shifting due to the Great Catastrophe
that unearthed and awoke the few newmans that were laying
dormant underground. Originally believed to number less
than 1,000, newmans are still a rare sight in Raxia after 300
years.
Generally thin and delicate-looking, a newman has snow-white
hair and skin, while their eyes are either a pale blue or red.
There is also a magical crest somewhere on their body, often
on the forehead, chest, or back of a hand, and this crest
expands and glows when the newman is casting a spell of some
kind. Often seen as sullen and withdrawn into their research,
some newmans still follow the tough life of an adventurer.
While some do so in search of truth or wealth, others seem to
have a mission from a previous life they're trying to fulfill.
Often compared to runefolk due to their mutual man-made
nature, newmans are still humans at their core, even if they are
magically enhanced, and thus still have a soul. This realization
has led some newmans to follow the path of the divine, giving
service to the God of Wisdom, Kilhia, and the God of
Wanderers, Lu Lode.
A common trait among newmans is the ability to see into past
lives through flashbacks, invoking feelings of déjà vu. A
newman's soul will often hold on to memories and experiences
212
of past lives, and while the phenomenon is unreliable at best,
the experiences and sensations of these past lives can be
brought forth in unexpected flashes of insight.
There is also a rumor that a newman had left such a strong
memory of themselves that multiple newmans inherited their
soul, and a secret society was formed to bring this being back
as the perfect ruler of the world. Supposedly, they aim to
restore the magical might of the older civilizations and rule
over the vast kingdoms as one. However, there is no proof of
such rumors, and those who believe this rumor are seen as
foolish at best.
Youma (Barbarous)
Kobolds, goblins, and boggarts; these low-level barbarous are
collectively referred to as Youma, known for their constant
chattering in the Barbaric language. Though kobolds aren't of
the same family as the others, and in fact look quite like a
humanoid dog, they are still lumped together with the others
due to their similar lifestyles. Combined, their numbers are
impressively high, and they are rather militant and brutal, but
they are also lacking in intelligence, and will often flee when
outnumbered.
Left to their own devices, youma are often seen as unruly
mobs, unregulated and rowdy, but pose little threat to strong
adventurers. However, under the rule of a powerful leader,
these mobs become incredibly dangerous. Because they flock
to strong leaders, drakes and basilisks are often at the head of
a mob of youma.
While they are fairly low power, there are occasionally some
unique individuals that will rise to prominence as a dangerous
leader. Especially common among boggarts, these stronger
213
individuals pose a threat even to seasoned adventurers on their
own, let alone with the mob that naturally gravitates towards
their power.
Many youma are short-lived, often treated as adults at the age
of 5 years and left to their own devices. Few will live longer
than 30 years, and many will die in combat during their youth.
Trolls (Barbarous)
One of the most physically striking races among the barbarous,
the trolls are incredibly powerful and skilled fighters, always
willing to get into a fight. However, even they are not cruel,
and dislike insane slaughter for the sake of it.
Trolls do abide by the basic social structures of the barbarous,
in that the strong rule over the weak. Because they are
incredibly strong, though, they don't often feel the desire to go
out and flaunt it among the weaker races. Rather, a troll is far
more likely to be active and engage in combat if they find an
opponent, they feel is strong enough to test their mettle. In
fact, a troll would rather die in combat against a powerful foe
than grow old while lording over weaker races.
Most trolls are enthusiastic followers of Dalkhrem and are
always looking for the next strongest opponent to test
themselves. There is also an ancient alliance with the various
drakes of the barbarous, and if asked a troll will go to their aid.
Unless cut down in combat before their prime, a troll will hit
their physical peak around 200 years old and have been
known to live for around 300 years.
214
Drakes (Barbarous)
Among the barbarous, drakes are known to be particularly
powerful, cunning, and dangerous enemies. Their strong
charisma is matched by their sheer power, often with an army
to back them up regardless of their desires. Drakes have a
strong ambition to rule the world and are often conspiring
against the humanoid realms.
Astonishingly intelligent, drakes often exude a sense of calm
fury, as though they were a snake poised to strike at any
moment. Extremely long-lived, often 1,000 years or more, a
drake will only become stronger and wiser as they age. There
have been stories of young drakes collaborating with
adventurers for mutual benefit, often resulting in tales of
incredible wealth being heaped upon the adventuring party.
Many drakes were killed during the Great Catastrophe, as they
attempted to take over the world. Those that remain are
sharpening their fangs, patiently awaiting the next chance to
make their move. While drakes are proud and will not often
work with one another, rumors of a "king of drakes" that can
bring them all to heel persist even now, and the mere thought
of such a being is enough to worry about the future of Raxia.
Basilisks (Barbarous)
Another powerful barbarous, and the perfect companion to
the drakes, are the basilisks. Hidden in their eyes is the power
of petrification, while their blood is poisonous to most living
creatures, and their attitude is brutal, warlike, and cunning.
Long-lived, a basilisk can terrorize an area for 500 years and
more.
215
Unlike drakes, basilisks have little ambition to rule, though
they do take particular delight in invasions, slaughters, and
looting. They rarely take part in such matters themselves,
though, often directing their underlings to do so in their name.
Seeing themselves as a sort of "aristocrat of the barbarous",
basilisks will collect treasure, often statues and other works of
art, and will often have other weaker barbarous to do their
bidding. They see those underneath them as not mattering and
will often underestimate adventurers seeking them out.
While nearly equal in power, basilisks and drakes often
disagree with each other. Basilisks see drakes as threats to their
seat of power and control of their armies, while drakes simply
see basilisks as foolish and sloppy, not willing to put in the
effort of ruling. These differences are enough to make a drake-
basilisk alliance incredibly rare, though if such an alliance
could form it would be one of the largest threats in recent
memory.
As with the drakes, basilisks have the ability to transform into
a more monstrous form. However, basilisks become less
intelligent and almost feral when transformed, unlike drakes
who retain their intelligence. This has led to a theory that
basilisks were, in fact, magical beasts that somehow gained the
ability to shapeshift into a form fit for the barbarous.
Nosferatu (Barbarous)
The most mysterious of the Barbarous, nosferatu are
immortal monsters with powerful regeneration and other
special abilities, making them enemies more dangerous than
even drakes or basilisks.
216
However, these incredible powers come at a cost, and there
are a few fatal weaknesses of the nosferatu, the most well-
known of which is the constant need to drink the blood of
others. This has led to the nosferatu earning the moniker
"vampire". Other weaknesses include the sun's rays, which
limits a nosferatu's activity to the nighttime.
Slim to the point of being nearly paper-thin, a nosferatu is
often created when one's soul is scarred nearly to the limit,
leaving it as an Undead. Unable to have a child through
reproductive methods, nosferatu will create their own families
using what they call a "Blood Kiss".
Whole not actively involved with the other Barbarous, some
nosferatu did join in the carnage and revelry of the Great
Catastrophe. While many other Barbarous hate the undead,
nosferatu have no issue working alongside them, and may even
lead an army of the undead.
Believing that beautiful, heterosexual people are the best prey,
nosferatu will often hide in the shadows of abandoned
buildings, though their hubris may lead them to hiding in plain
sight in the middle of major cities. They also hate the various
Swords of Protection, due to their scarred souls, and will often
try and manipulate others to destroy them.
Half-breeds
Only humans are able to have children with different races
(most commonly, elves and dwarves). Some scholars consider
this to be evidence of the derivation of races such as elves and
dwarves from humans.
A newborn child will have the same appearance and abilities
as either of the parents (if a human and an elf have children,
217
they will be born human or elf). Nightmares can arise from
time to time as well, but will still follow the same rules (i.e., if
the elf in the previous example was an elf-born nightmare, the
children could still only be either human or elf, with normal
chances for nightmares). The only exception is lildraken-born
nightmares, as they cannot have children with other races.
Very rarely, two humans can give birth to an elf or dwarf,
though this can only happen if both parents have had mixed
blood sometime in the past. Again, nightmares can occur as
per the usual chances.
It should be noted that, though very rare, it is possible for
humans or nightmares to have children with barbarous.
Minotaurs, among others, are said to be the result of such
crossbreeding, though nothing has been confirmed.
The Continent of Terastier
The City-State of Zalts

The Zalts region, in the northern part of the Terastieran
continent, is home to five different countries, both large and
small. It is a relatively peaceful region, with few barbarous
sightings near the major cities. However, once outside of the
city's protection, danger awaits. The Great Catastrophe
changed the landscape only 300 years ago, and the effects of
that are still felt throughout the region. Additionally, there are
rumors of buried ruins, full of dangers and treasure waiting for
a lucky adventurer to find them.
Barless
218
219 A fortified city located two days' travel north of the capital of
Lukythra. The local population is around 5,000 inhabitants,
with many of them serving in the city's defense corps. Barless
is popular not only for its position as a border with Durlesburg,
but also as a starting point for adventurers heading north.
However, it's said that the barbarous in the area has been
increasing over the past few years, and tensions are running
high in the defense corps waiting for the inevitable attack.
Aldrea
Located a day and a half's walk west of the Imperial Capital,
this fortified city is the second largest in the region, holding
more than 8,000 inhabitants. Located between Rocyletta and
Fendil, Aldrea has a reputation of a bustling trade city. There
is also a harbor, as well as ferry services out to Rocyletta and
back.
Dyza
A fortified city located about one and a half days south of the
Imperial Capital, Dyza is the Lukythra Empire's Major food
source. With the Laura River flowing out of the Divine
Staircase joining with the Naura river from the Odd
Mountains, the land in and around Dyza is incredibly fertile,
making farming a major part of life in Dyza. The large
drawbridge over the Laura River is also an amazing landmark
in its own right, serving as the cornerstone for the Empire's
southern defenses.
The Marquis of Kudelia
The territory of the Marquis of Kudelia lies between the
Jagged Coast and the Caputi Mountains. The first Marquis was
an aristocrat among the Lukythra Empire and was given
autonomous control over his land by the Emperor. Currently,
there is around 6,000 or so inhabitants living under the
220
Marquis' rule. However, it is said that the current Marquis,
Cader Kudelia (38 years old), rarely leaves the territory, and
has not been seen in public for quite some time.
Barbarous ships have been seen coming and going off of the
Jagged Coast, and rumors that the Marquis may be trading with
them have persisted despite attempts to quell them.
Additionally, many criminals flee to the Marquis' territory in
order to evade capture in the Empire. Because of these
security risks, there are an increasing number of the Emperor's
court that are looking to strip the Marquis of autonomy.
Allied Free Cities
A collection of free cities, south of the Lukythra Empire in the
Zalts region. Clockwise from the westmost city Eiras (about
3,000 people), Burlint (about 10,000 people), Sess (about
6,000 people), Drambal (about 7,000 people), Ilmar (about
5,000 people) and Footland (about 9,000 people). In recent
years, the common threat of the barbarous has diminished,
leading each city to have a bit of ego built up around them,
shaking the alliance. In particular, the concentration of wealth
in Burlint, as well as its prominent position on the trade routes,
is a hot point of contention.
Swords of Protection and Cities

Most major cities in the Zalts region are protected from both
the barbarous and the undead thanks to various Swords of
Protection. Naturally, most barbarous are looking to capture
and destroy these swords, so they are kept strictly under lock
and key.
While each particular Sword of Protection has its own power,
and it's not always possible to measure the strength by the
number of swords available, in general the more Swords of
221
Protection are in any one location, the stronger the effects they
will have. Larger cities also benefit, as the large amount of
adventurers bringing in Sword Shards tend to increase both
the strength and the range of the swords' effects. However, if
the number of Swords of Protection is insufficient for the size
and population of a city, there exists the possibility of
barbarous attacks.

Unique Locations of the Zalts Region

Obsidian Desert
As the name implies, it is a desert made entirely of black sand.
There used to be a large city by the name of Pilks in the area,
but it was sacked and burned down to ashes by the barbarous
during the Great Catastrophe. These ashes mixed with the
222
surrounding sand, and even centuries later the land is still
blackened and empty.
The black sand is actually poisonous, and it is ill-advised to
spend any significant period of time in the area. However, the
ruins of Pilks, as well as the underground evacuation shelters
and small cave-towns still remain, almost completely swept
away by the black sand, and so adventurers are often drawn to
the area to find and recover what they can before succumbing
to the effects of the black sand.
Caputi Mountains
A mountainous area in the north of the Zalts region, the steep
peaks of the Caputi Mountains are home to a variety of winged
creatures.
Jagged Coast
Eroded by the ocean's waves, the Jagged Coast is lined with a
number of steep cliffs and caves carved from the surrounding
stone. These caves are favorite hiding places for both pirates
as well as barbarous, and it's not uncommon to see these
groups working together to evade capture when it comes
looking. However, despite the direct order from the
Lukythraian Emperor to root out and clean up these outlaws,
the Marquis of Kudelia doesn't seem to be actively patrolling
these waters...
Luma Lakes
Five lakes, in the shape of a star, and in the center of these are
the ruins of an Elven kingdom destroyed during the Great
Catastrophe. Elf settlements are scattered around the lakes, as
explorations into the ruins continue. Despite being a heavily
Elven area, the Lukythra Empire considers it neutral territory,
223
224
and outside adventurers are welcome to join in on the
expeditions.
Divine Staircase
Said to be the highest mountain in the Zalts region, this
mountain reaches up over 10,000 m tall, the peak often
obscured by the clouds. Rumors say that those who can get to
the highest peak will find themselves in the land of the Gods
themselves. Between the steep cliffs and high winds
surrounding the mountain, few winged creatures are able to
find a usable nesting area to live.
However, there is no shortage of explorers looking to venture
onto the mountain, as there have been many incredible
archaeological finds. Higher areas on the mountain have even
held relics from the Schnell period, so the allure of such finds
has driven some to make the perilous climb, despite the
dangers.
Roc's Gouge
Named as such because it seems as though a roc tore at the
ground itself, this canyon appeared during the Great
Catastrophe. Some say that it was powerful earth-type magic
that devastated the ground like this. The actual depth of the
Gouge is still unknown, though it seems that it was deep
enough to disturb the rest of some undead...
Mist Towers
A series of ruined high-rise buildings built before the Great
Catastrophe; the Mist Towers get their name from the ever-
present mist coming off the surface of the adjacent Neres
Lake. While the towers seem relatively untouched on the
outside, the mist obscures a lot of internal damage done by the
225
Great Catastrophe, and a building that seems stable can turn
into a crumbling deathtrap in a second.
Odd Mountains
A mountain range running north to south throughout most of
the Zalts region. Near the southern end is a collection of
caverns called the "Jaws of the Barbarous", named after the
innumerable barbarous that live in these never-ending winding
caves. Between the barbarous claiming this territory as theirs,
as well as the occasional sightings of dragons in the area, these
mountains are incredibly dangerous to approach without
taking precautionary measures.
The Continent of Razeldawn
Connected to the northern section of the Terastieran

continent, the continent of Razeldawn is still largely under the
control of the barbarous. However, in recent years,
expeditions from Terastier have proven fruitful in driving off
some of the barbarous, and so humanoids have finally been
able to create settlements on the so-called "Twilight
Continent", or "Continent of Mist".
The northernmost city of Terastier, Durlesburg, has reopened
the bridge across the two continents, and any adventurer in
Razeldawn had crossed over it at one point or another.
Currently, there is little movement from the native barbarous.
Some see this as a sign of relief that they were able to beat
them back, while others are uneasy, expecting some sort of
retaliation in the near future.
The Agia Region

226
A small area in the southern section of Razeldawn, the Agia
region is the only known humanoid settlement on the
continent.
Kashkarn, "The Open Town"
Also known as the "Country of Bridges", Kashkarn was the first
pioneer village that was established after the Duke of
Durlesburg opened the bridge to the new continent.
Currently, it has grown to hold about 3,000 permanent
residents, enough to consider it a small town.
Many of these pioneer residents are farmers, merchants, and
others looking to spread out into new lands, see what they have
to offer, and eke out a quiet existence in a new area. Others
are adventurers, using the town as a starting point before
heading off into the wilderness on one expedition or another.
Others are entrepreneurs, taking advantage of the rush of new
people to establish their own wealth.
Many of the adventurers often have their own shops, selling
what they've found on their own expedition while helping
other adventurers with their own treks. Despite the relative
quiet from the barbarous, there are some who still try and
attack the town, so defense and extermination jobs are still
rather popular among the newer adventurers. However, there
are many powerful barbarous in the wilds, so what may start as
a routine extermination job can quickly go south if the
adventuring party is unprepared.
It is said that there is a "Sword of Protection" in the center of
town, ensuring that the barbarous can't invade. However, some
believe this sword is merely a fake, and only there to satisfy
some of the conservatives back in Durlesburg.
227
Dark Forest
A vast forest, northeast of Kashkarn, the Dark Forest has a
reputation that immensely powerful barbarous and mythical
beasts hide deep within the woods, capturing or killing all who
enter. Despite the danger, the trees of the forest are incredibly
high-quality wood, and much of the timber used in Kashkarn
comes from the forest, making logging a very dangerous and
very lucrative job. Of course, the lumberjacks tend to stick to
the outer edges of the forest, never venturing inside.
Haaze, "The Decaying City"
What was once a grand city during the Al Menas period is now
little more than ruins, found to the northwest of Kashkarn.
There are still a number of ruined buildings and stone
infrastructure standing, as well as entrances to a vast
underground space. Ruins of the suburbs have been noticed
almost as far east as the Dark Forest, and even a couple of the
buildings in Kashkarn have been built from these ruins.
Nowadays, it is simply a nest of barbarous, and adventurers
are often seen in the area on various missions from the
Adventurer's Guild. Some see the city as infested with
barbarous to exterminate, while others are simply trying to
excavate the ruins and see what's been buried by time.
Town of Mist
This ruined city, north of Kashkarn, dates back to the Al
Menas period, but is now home to a large number of
barbarous. It gets its name from the combination of the fog in
the area blocking off easy travel to the town, as well as its hazy
appearance off in the distance.
It is said that there was a large number of people living here
before the barbarous, and that only a few descendants of the
228
229
original inhabitants remain, used as slaves among the
barbarous. These slaves, estimated to be around 10,000
people, have been the target of a number of operations into
the city in attempts to free them and evacuate from the city.
Often, undercover adventurers offer their aid in attempts to
gather any sort of intel, but of the few who do end up returning,
oftentimes they have very little usable information. There is a
rumor that contact with an underground resistance movement
has been made, but this cannot be confirmed one way or
another, due to confidentiality.
Dragon Spear Mountains
A long mountain range, it is said to be the backbone of the
Razeldawn continent. Hidden in a corner of the mountain
range is said to be Val Clair Castle, seat of a barbarous
kingdom ruled over by a powerful drake.
Val Clair Castle
Located in the northwest region of the Dragon Spear
Mountains, Val Clair Castle was once a beautiful castle,
constructed using the best methods available during the Al
Menas period. After falling to the barbarous, however, it was
turned into a dreadful fortress, inspiring fear into all those who
would look upon it.
It is said that over 100,000 barbarous have gathered under the
drake ruling from Val Clair Castle, and it is quite possible that
this army has gathered to fight back against the humanoid
races. Even strong barbarous, like trolls and basilisks, have
been seen falling in like under the incredible charisma that the
ruling drake has. We know of this thanks to the great wizard
Rigon, who was sent by the Lukythra Empire to gather data.
230
However, as of late Rigon has gone silent, and it is quite
possible he has been found and killed.
Scorching Desert
A vast desert, spreading across much of western Razeldawn,
this desolate waste is a harsh environment, with a few
humanoids scattered across the vastness. However, it is also a
prime area for both androscorpions and basilisks to inhabit,
making the desert a very dangerous place to live.
Bloody Mountains
This mountain range in the northeast of the Agia region gets
its name from the bare, red rocks that seem to weep a thick,
reddish liquid. Originally a flourishing dwarven mining
settlement, there were a number of human fortresses and
trading towns all along the range. Once the Great Catastrophe
hit, however, there has not been a friendly soul to be
seen.Some say the rocks were dyed red from the combined
bloodshed of both the dwarves and the barbarous, as neither
would back down from a fight. However, as the barbarous
eventually won out, they took over the caves and fortresses,
and have used the area to stave off a number of attempts to
take the region back.
Lake Chess
Four lakes surround the Town of Mist, and the largest, Lake
Chess, is the source of much of the mist and fog that protects
it from invaders. Additionally, the waters of the lake itself are
home to a multitude of aquatic Barbarous, such as the scyllas
and lizardmen. Between the fog and the Barbarous threat,
many adventurers who think themselves strong enough to take
on the Barbarous find themselves lost and dying.
231
Even General Otfield Yates, the hero of Durlesburg, was
hindered by the lakes and fog, losing a number of soldiers to
the dangerous waters. It is said that those who lost their lives
in the area have become restless ghosts, some looking to save
the living from sharing their fate, while others seek to draw
more adventurers into the water forever.
232
Adventures in Raxia
Thieves' Guild
When in larger cities, there is often a seedy underbelly behind

the bright lights and packed markets. Many who lurk in the
shadows and engage in illegal activities often band together,
offering mutual aid in their illicit dealings. The Thieves' Guild
is the resulting organization of criminals, and especially large
cities may even have more than one Guild in operation.
The Guild offers jobs to those who would work outside the
law, including such types as bandits, drug, and human
traffickers, and even assassins. Information is readily
exchanged, as is offers of mutual aid in both performing jobs
and escaping the authorities. While such a gathering would
immediately be a valuable resource for the authorities,
occasionally a Thieves' Guild is allowed to function as an
unofficial state entity, as it's easier to track criminals through
the Guild than were they to work individually.
Locations of the Thieves' Guild

For obvious reasons, there's no sign above a door advertising
a location as a Thieves' Guild. The Guild is often hidden,
usually in a bar, in a small betting parlor, or other such
establishments. These guild facilities are often hidden in
basements or in storage locations nearby, with the doorkeeper
being tipped off by a particular pass word or phrase. Some
even have a whole small performance, for the benefit of
onlookers:
233
Customer: "Give me a glass of fine wine." Barkeep: "Do you
want me to sell my home for some?" Customer: "A cold ale,
then."
The customer drinks a little, then turns back to the barkeep*
Customer: This tastes like horse piss, do you have anything
else?" Barkeep: "Yeah, let's go to the back."
With a certain degree of credibility, the Adventurer's Guild
can offer the locations of such Guild establishments, though
for a nominal (50~100G) fee.
Relationship between the Adventurer's Guild and Thieves' Guild
While most adventurers aren't members of both guilds, there
are some who are, and these people can offer valuable
information, for the right price. Some secret treasures and sites
can only be found with the help of the Thieves' Guild, so it's
wise not to cross anyone who's a known member. While the
Adventurer's Guild and Thieves' Guild will rarely cross paths
as organizations, there have been sometimes where one guild
has a particular relic or set of relics the other is looking for, so
there's no bad blood between the two.
If one is successful in contacting the Thieves' Guild, it is
possible to purchase information and join the ranks. Just
joining up with the Thieves' Guild, however, costs 1,000
Gamels, and individual information will cost more, sometimes
much more. The exact price depends upon how useful the
information is, how fresh it is, and how powerful the target of
said information gathering is. For example, digging up
information on a local thug will only cost around 100G or so,
while finding out who the lover of the local noble can run at
least 500G. Of course, there's the rare bit of information, juicy
info that can lead to something like state secrets or involves
234
wealth to the tune of hundreds of thousands of Gamels. The
information alone for such top-end jobs will itself run 1,000G,
if not more, though such intel is incredibly rare to come across.
Whether an adventurer is a member of the Thieves' Guild or
not is up to the player (though they should also consult with
the GM beforehand).
Famous Thieves' Guilds

In Lukythra, the guild known as the Dark Night's Falcons
claims to be the largest Thieves' Guild in the Zalts region,
counting hundreds of members in its ranks. However, the
guild Deathcrimson, hailing from the Marquis of Corderia's
lands, has a reputation for the vilest murderers, drug traders,
and human traffickers in the region. There are some who
claim that Deathcrimson has barbarous in their numbers, but
for obvious reasons it is impossible to say whether these
rumors are true.
Airships
One of the most valuable, and rarest, magical items in the

entirety of Raxian history is the airship.
During the heyday of the Al Menas, airships swarmed the sky,
providing trade and passage across the world with ease. While
modern thought is that such airship rides were only for the rich
and wealthy, truth is the average person could afford to take
an airship ride to the next country over.
As it stands now, however, the means of making airships is
mostly lost to the ravages of time. The technology to create the
magicore needed to create flight has been lost, so most of the
235
airships that still exist have been cobbled together from
remnants of older airships, as well as relics and other articles
from excavated Al Menas ruins. Essentially, current airships
are made by taking an existing magicore and placing it into a
ship modified for such a purpose. Once attached correctly, the
new airship can take flight, though it does need a steady supply
of mako stones as fuel for propulsion.
There are a few different types of magicores, though they all
work in the same way, by turning the air that comes into
contact with the ship's hull into a more buoyant gas that lifts
the ship and propels it forward. Most modern airships use a
balloon-shape for their hull, which does allow for lower fuel
consumption, though it makes up for this by having a smaller
carrying capacity and slower speed than a more traditional
ship.
Medium-sized airships will tend to be the most common,
holding around 50 occupants (not including crew). Smaller
ships, with a capacity of 10 occupants, as well as larger ships
able to hold around 100 people have also been sighted over
recent years. Some nations do still travel and trade via airships,
though prices can get expensive even for small flights. Tickets
tend to start at 500 Gamels for short flights and can increase
to 5,000 Gamels or more depending upon the distance and
quality of the airship.
Another benefit of having a large fleet of airships is the threat
of aerial retaliation. Not only can countries with a number of
airships have thriving trade, but it becomes easy enough to
outfit an airship with weapons of war if necessary. As such,
there are few privately owned airships, and those tend to
belong to wealthy merchants. At the same time, adventurers
who find a magicore buried in an old ruin are able to ask for
236
incredible amounts of money on the open market, and there
have been tales of a couple adventuring parties who have
become independently wealthy and retired just from finding
one.
Veteran Adventurers
Adventurers of 5th level or higher should have enough of a

reputation to be recognized in most major cities, while those
of 7th level or higher are referred to as "veterans". The
following is a quick description of the role of veteran
adventurers in Raxia.
More Difficult Adventures

Most of the work given to fledgling adventurers often involves
exploring urban ruins and exterminating low-level barbarous
who've moved in to abandoned places. However, veterans are
given more dangerous missions, often involving explorations
into uncharted areas, or assassinations of much more powerful
enemies. Even in the Terastieran continent the areas where
humanoids can safely live is limited, and so incursions into
barbarous lands and attacks on high-ranking leaders helps to
drive the barbarous back, opening up more land to settle on.
Sometimes, veteran adventurers will find unexplored ruins,
and will sell this information back to the Adventurer's Guild
and thus to lower-level adventurers, keeping the cycle going.
And as the new ranks of low-level adventurers explore these
newfound ruins and become veterans themselves, the current
group of veterans is advancing yet further into the unknown.
237
Powerful Connections
Adventurers of the 7th level and higher may be sponsored by
powerful aristocrats, merchants, temples, or even the state
itself, in the hopes of preferential treatment when trying to
acquire relics from the past.
Depending upon the reputation of the adventurers, there is a
possibility to earn titles, power, and property. However, in
gaining these material benefits, the adventurers do give up a
bit of their freedom and their priority becomes that of their
sponsor. There are stories of adventurers whose sponsors
overestimated their abilities and led them into attempting
impossible tasks (such as attempting to slay a dragon or map
out the continent of Razeldawn) and were slain in the effort.
At the same time, though, there have also been adventurers
who knew their limits, and were able to successfully leverage
their reputation and power into taking over important
positions in their home country.
Found Your Own Country

Becoming an adventurer of 10th level, 15th level or even
higher is an amazing task, and at that level of power and
privilege it becomes possible to think about starting one's own
country in areas that the barbarous have been driven from.
Founding one's own country is no trivial task, but once it is
known that a high-level adventurer is seeking to do so, other
powerful adventurers and servitors will often follow them
looking to become subordinates and court members in their
new country. People will also flock to charismatic leaders,
those who can win over the hearts of the masses, and by
keeping the will of the people strong, their following will
continue to grow.
238
Of course, such new countries are prime targets for barbarous
invasion, as the remaining barbarous seek to take back the
land they consider theirs. If there is a considerable threat of
barbarous in the area, the Adventurer's Guild will quite often
set up a location in the new kingdom, providing newer
adventurers with jobs to help out the new country.
Additionally, there may be a neighboring country or kingdom
that doesn't appreciate young blood coming in and setting up.
Such neighbors will keep the new country on their toes as
much as a barbarous incursion would, if not more so. Just
because one founds their own country doesn't mean they can
sit on their laurels and rest.
Celebrities of the Zalts Region
In this section are short descriptions of famous NPCs in the

Zalts Region. It is up to the GM to make use of these NPCs as
they see fit, whether as clients and sponsors for adventuring
jobs, rivals searching the same deserted ruins for treasure, or
adversaries willing to take out competition. Feel free to change
any aspect of the following NPCs, such as their age or
personality, as the scenario needs.
239
"The Ambitious Emperor" Julius Krause, Emperor Lukythra
(Human/Male/28 yrs.)
"Ambition? Hahaha. Big or small,
everyone has it, right?"
A young emperor who governs over
the Lukythra Empire. Polite and
gentle, Julius is very ambitious and
secretive. He is actively seeking out
relics from lost civilization in order to
increase his power base. Specifically,
he is constantly on the hunt for
magicores in order to build a fleet of
airships.
It is said that when his predecessor fell ill, his brother-in-law
who was set to take the throne next had a terrible accident and
perished. Officially, it is all just a coincidence, yet most people
believe otherwise. The truth remains a mystery, though.
"Former Swordsman" Luther Ellerden (Human/Male/50
yrs.)
"Oh, a newcomer! I've got the job for
you."
The owner of the adventurer's store,
"Blue Thunder Swords". Luther is an
ex-adventurer, and the tale of how he
beat a basilisk in sword combat is
legendary. Known to help
newcomers out, he takes time to
make sure new adventuring parties
are well equipped to take on the job
they've accepted.
240
While his store is often full of veteran adventurers, each with
their own bit of advice, one particular elven ranger, "Mayael of
the Leaves" is a frequent visitor. She often has decent
information about the nearby ruins, even though some of her
stories might be exaggerated somewhat.
"The Great Artificer" Drucken Gardel (Dwarf/Male/52 yrs.)
"Understanding this device will
advance our recovery efforts by 30
years!"
Drucken Gardel, the head of the
Institute of Magitechnology in the
Imperial Capital, Lukythra.
Passionate about finding old relics
and technology from the Al Menas
period, it's said he gets a little crazy
when presented with new findings.
Over the years, Drucken has met
and worked with many different adventurers in the hopes of
finding new and exciting magitech. While somewhat quiet and
stoic, when excited he becomes almost childlike in his
outbursts. Basically, he's a good person, but he does tend to
get carried away and is almost mischievous when asking
adventurers to try out new technology...
241
"Princess General" Magdalena Yates (Human/Female/19
yrs.)
"Even if you replace me, there will be
those who will take up my cause."
Daughter of the great Durlesburg
General, Otfried Yates. A proud
warrior known for standing with the
barbarous, she is a powerful knight-
priest of Zaiya as well. She is a bit of
an optimist, looking to see if there is
a way to live peacefully with the
barbarous.
Of course, there are those who are
looking to discredit the princess, as well as having to deal with
barbarous attacks. However, she feels as there's no turning
back at this point and is also smart enough to hire adventurers
to aid in her plans while actively conducting research herself.
As the daughter of General Yates, she does stand in line to
inherit some political power, so there have been mumblings
about an arranged marriage with Emperor Lukythra.
242
"The Knight of Steel" Howl Barkman (Human/Male/25 yrs.)
"Another barbarous attack? Don't let
the princess know. I'll handle it."
Known as Magdalena's Right Arm,
Howl is the current general of the
Kashkarn garrison. Constantly at the
forefront of battle, wishing to help
Lady Magdalena, he is currently
helping to guard barbarous and
manage adventurers as head of the
garrison.
Often seen as stern, serious, and
inflexible, Howl is actually very enthusiastic about his job.
However, due to poor sleeping habits he always has a bit of a
scowl on his face, leading people to believe he's a lot harsher
than he really is.
"Twin Princesses" Kokul and Rafensa (Human/Female/14
yrs.)
"Will you ever become a queen?" "If
I must, but not now."
Twin princesses who effectively rule
the Fendil Kingdom, they took over
when their father, the last King of
Fendil, took ill and died over a year
ago. The eldest child was Kokul,
though she refused to take the
throne unless her twin sister Rafensa
could co-rule with her as well.
While very unusual, they have been
able to govern Fendil fairly effectively as a pair, and even those
243
who were opposed to the idea have come around and
recognized the political ability the pair has. Their powerful
magical abilities and pretty appearance has also managed to
make them quite popular among their people.
"The Painted Merchant" Dan Shirow (Lildraken/Male/73
yrs.)
"The most important thing you can
have is trust. Not like you can buy
money anyway."
Based in the port of Rocyletta, Dan
has made a fortune off of trade with
various foreign countries, though
now he finds himself stuck in the
Zalts region without a ship. He has
made himself known through buying
various relics and antiques for high
prices, so there is a reputation that he
may pay out big money for something worth his while.
Some of his dealings have even attracted royal attention, and
some very powerful aristocrats have been seen doing business
with Dan. Just recently, he's acquired a medium-sized airship,
and is beginning to go flying around Raxia in search of the best
trades and deals. If he can get some passengers to pay up for
the privilege of tagging along, all the better.
244
"The Demented Assassination Machine" Gertrude
(Runefolk/Female/Unknown)
"Steal this. Kill that. Do these, and
'that person' will be pleased."
Leader of Deathcrimson, the
Thieves' Guild from the Marquis of
Kudelia. Her red hair and eyes give
her a bit of cold beauty, but her
expression is unwavering, and her
personality is ruthless. If she has any
emotions, no one alive has seen her
express any.
Her references to "that person" are
vague at best, and while some think it refers to the Marquis of
Kudelia himself, some believe she is referring to the previous
guild owner who she'd murdered. Currently, though, it seems
that Deathcrimson is moving farther west, towards the
Imperial Capital. However, the Dark Night's Falcons operate
out of the capital, and word on the street is they're not happy
with newcomers in their turf.
245
"The King of Wanderers" Albert Duraland (Human/Male/27
yrs.)
"Surely I can find a place of my
own... right?"
A well-known adventurer in the Zalts
region, his wanderlust is legendary. It
is said that Albert is on a quest, as
though he were obsessed with
something known only to him.
While he has achieved a significant
amount of fame over the years, there
is something that still haunts him,
something that he still searches for.
Because of this, he has started towards the continent of
Razeldawn, in search of the City of Mist.
Even though his adventures are legendary, the challenges he
faces are incredibly demanding and dangerous, and other
adventurers are more often put into peril just by being around
Albert. This propensity towards incredible danger and lack of
concern for his party has given him the nickname "The
Reaper", though this moniker has not slowed Albert one bit.
246
"The Happy Blue Child" Blue Lip Revett
(Grassrunner/Male/Unknown)
"Since you met me, you can be
happy too!"
A famous bard, he travels around
the Zalts region seemingly without
rest. Rumor has it that if you listen to
his cheery, upbeat songs that you will
experience wonder and good luck,
and so adventurers will often flock to
hear him sing before going off on an
expedition.
It is said that he knows quite a bit
about the Zalts region, and he is quite skilled as both a Bard
and a Scout. Because of his knowledge, some scholars and
historians have been trying to track him down in order to
preserve some of the knowledge he claims to have.
"The God Chaser" Nono Vanillatte (Tabbit/Female/17 yrs.)
"Oh, you found a new god!? I must
go see it!"
Based out of Lukythra, Nono is a
Tabbit wizard of some renown in the
Zalts region. Contrary to her cute
appearance, she is familiar with most
kinds of magic, from Truespeech to
Magitech. However, her true calling
is to find the truth of the relationship
between Tabbits and the gods. In
doing her research, it is possible to
247
find Nono in any given temple, scribbling away in one of many
different journals.
Recently, due to the fact there has been a young god
discovered in the southern area of the continent, Nono has
been looking to head south to add to her research. However,
because of a fear of heights, she's not sure whether or not to
fly down in an airship.
"Captain of the Sky" Amelia Skyfish (Nightmare/Female/45
yrs.)
"Moutes? Ah, he was a good man.
No, really."
A merchant from Luferia, Amelia
has recent come across a magicore
and managed to build herself a small
airship. Although she hides her true
nature as a nightmare and tries to live
as a human, her confident aura and
good looks are rather eye-catching to
those around her.
Currently, she has a contract to work
under the merchant Dan Shirow and operates regular flights
out of Rocyletta. Her prices are fair, as well, only charging
1,000 Gamels for a one-way trip, up to 3 days out of Rocyletta.
248
"Archbishop of the Lake" Batelden Erra (Elf/Male/321 yrs.)
"No way, 300 years? I never thought
I'd take care of my friend this long."
The archbishop of the temple of
Luferia, goddess of the Lake
Kingdom of Luferia. While virtuous
and strong in the ways of the church,
he tends to keep services and rituals
rather short, as his solemn, priestly
tone of voice doesn't last very long. A
survivor of the Great Catastrophe, it
is not uncommon to see Batelden
lead a group of paladins to the frontlines to fight against the
barbarous.
A childhood friend of Luferia when she was alive, he rose to
power in her church after her apotheosis, and it is said that the
two of them still have long talks with one another. However,
the recent influx of foreigners and merchants requires
diplomatic work as well as priestly duties, and it's obvious by
his appearance that the stress of dealing with it all is getting to
Batelden.
"One-Eyed Falcon" Shawn Graham (Nightmare/Male/45
yrs.)
Leader of the Dark Night's Falcons, based out of the Imperial
Capital Lukythra. With branches throughout the Empire, he
can gather information with astounding speed and accuracy.
While he's technically a criminal, he dislikes being a
conspicuous target and acts like everyone else.
However, adversaries and traitors receive absolutely no mercy
from Mr. Graham. He's a master of weapons and magic, and
249
his power has led to the rumor that he's unable to be
assassinated.
"Swordsman with the Broken Sword" Alfred III
The current Duke of Durlesburg, this thin, willowy old man is
surprisingly lethargic, even for one of his age. It's said that his
memories and thoughts are fading, and he has little interest in
politics. Rumor has it that he can't even raise a sword to honor
a new knight.
Because of his frailty and poor decision making, the aristocrats
in Durlesburg have split, some staying on the more
conservative side of things, while others are optimists and look
to find the good in every situation. These two groups are trying
to compete with one another in order to see who should rule
over Durlesburg, but both sides remain about equal in power
for the moment.
"The Cruel Sovereign" Cader Kudelia, Marquis
The current Marquis of Kudelia, Cader has been seen quite
rarely outside of the castle in recent years. Those who claim to
have seen him remark that is unusually cruel and brutal as of
late. While he claims to be ill in order to avoid meeting with
Emperor Lukythra, some suspect he's planning to build an
army and fight for independence from the Empire.
Sightings of barbarous in and around the castle only help to
bolster these rumors, as well as tales of servants going missing
while working at the castle. There's also rumors of the Marquis
becoming enthralled with magical study, and possibly
attempting to raise an army of undead to do his bidding, but
no one has returned from any investigation into such a rumor.
250
"Immortal Sequoia" Rasun El Charade (Human/Male/66
yrs.)
In Fendil, the Land of Flowers, the oldest noble family is the
El Charades, and Rasun El Charade is the first of that line. A
rare politician who excels not only in politics and diplomacy,
but strategy and war as well, Rasun is a diehard protector of
the kingdom of Fendil. While he's stepped aside to let others
take command in his place in recent years, his grand presence
and strong voice can often overwhelm his successors.
Loyal to the royal family, almost to a fault, Rasun is a valuable
member of the court of Fendil due to his accumulated
knowledge. Even if his opinion is one that differs from the
Twin Princesses, they will still listen to him speak his piece and
consider his words wisely.
"Charity" Shadornik Shuligan (Lildraken/Male/59 yrs.)
A former adventurer, this lildraken is the order of the store
"Lonely Dragon", a popular adventurer's shop in Durlesburg.
With his kobold manager Dolly, he takes care of everyone
who comes in, regardless of race. This openness is what has
caused him to earn the nickname, "Charity".
"Unreliable" James Kovar (Human/Male/44 yrs.)
One of the consuls appointed to rule over Kashkarn. Because
he was appointed as a consul instead of sitting back in
Durlesburg as an optimist, every day he complains about
wanting to head back to his more comfortable home in
Durlesburg. This complaining has worn on the people of
Kashkarn, and he is not very popular among the people
because of it.
251
"Moonlight Genius" Valentin Carnot (Human/Male/26 yrs.)
An artist living in Fendil, he is always on the lookout for avant-
garde pieces and motifs and has even hired adventurers on
multiple occasions to help him with one project or another.
Even something as simple as restocking his supply of paints
has been turned into a job for novice adventurers. However,
he does have a bad habit of trying to hit on any woman he sees,
hoping his good looks will win them over.
The Three Incompetents of Rocyletta
This disgraceful nickname was given to the unfortunate trio of
Adela Calvert (Human/Female/46 yrs.), Simon Bonnefois
(Elf/Male/122 yrs.), and Jorgen Reigliff (Dwarf/Male/71 yrs.)
by the people of Rocyletta.
The reason these three have earned this moniker in the eyes
of the people is due to their awful management of the port city.
As representatives of each of the major races in Rocyletta, the
theory was that two of the three would override the other's
dissenting opinion. However, as it turns out, Adela is
constantly pushing for aggressive action (even when
unnecessary), Jorgen stubbornly refuses to help with her in any
way, shape or form, and Simon procrastinates, often giving a
non-committal answer like, "I'll need more time to think."
Most of the time, then answer eventually ends up being "Let's
hire some adventurers to figure it out", so the actual function
of the Parliament remains shoddy at best. This is no secret to
the general public in Rocyletta, and residents' complaints
about the Parliament are increasing by the day.
252
"Alliance Chairman" Helmin Kartz (Human/Male/45 yrs.)
A native of Berlint, Helmin Kartz is the chairman of the Free
Cities Alliance. A man with a strong, stubborn personality, he
has been finding it harder and harder in recent years to
maintain some semblance of balance between the Free Cities,
and accusations that he's pro-Lukythraian diplomacy has not
helped his position.
"Living Saint" Ishmael Church (Human/Male/63 yrs.)
A gentle soul who leads the church of Lyphos in Lukythra. He
is called a "living saint" because of his quiet demeanor and
peaceful soul, and he is willing to walk throughout the Zalts
region in order to bring light and harmony to every devotee of
the gods.
"Desecrator" Seth Susaro (Human/Male/32 yrs.)
A very intelligent conjurer living in Kashkarn, he has earned
the despicable nickname "Desecrator" as he will attempt to
animate and revive anything that has left behind a corpse. It is
rumored he loves the undead and has a small army of
Revenants to do his vile bidding.

General Guidelines for Money Rewards
Below is a guideline for the total monetary rewards each

character should be earning at the end of each session. This
includes such things as completing the mission successfully,
other loot (such as random treasures and scavenging from
monsters), as well as how many Sword Shards should be
given out per person.
Estimated Rewards Per Player
Adventurer Base Completed Other Sword
Level Reward the Mission Rewards Shards
First 500 400 100 3~5
Adventure
1~3 1,000 800 200 4~6
3~4 2,000 1,500 500 5~8
4~5 3,000 2,500 500 6~9
5~6 4,000 3,000 1,000 7~11
6~7 5,000 4,000 1,000 8~12
In the case of dungeon exploration missions, consider the
"Completed Mission" as the total treasure found.
Other Rewards
Other rewards that are possible for PCs to get would be
various monster parts, magical items, hidden treasures found
in dungeons, and even honors for accomplishing astonishing
feats. However, do keep the level of the PCs in mind when
handing out these rewards, so as to not give away the whole
kingdom. Also, when handing out magical items, do be aware
255
that not all magical items can be divided, and so offer
adequate measures to keep players relatively balanced with
each other. This helps to keep the party a cohesive whole
and prevents jealousy from forming.
If you want to give out a lot of offbeat rewards like this, it is
suggested that the Base Reward is decreased, in order to
make up for the other treasure being handed out. Again,
these are guidelines, and while they don't need to be strictly
followed, they should at least be kept in mind when creating
your adventures.
256
Scenario
Sample Scenario: "Brutal Assailant"
Scenario Overview
This scenario aims to discover and defeat a dangerous
Mythical Beast attacking a developing village. The party will be
asked by the survivors of one of the beast's attacks to head to
the village and track the beast back to its lair. Along the way,
the party will encounter a band of Barbarous who are also
heading to fight the Mythical Beast, and the path to the
creature will pass through a small set of ruins as well.
This scenario, unlike Bartou's Mansion, is mainly combat-
oriented, and is a rather tough scenario.
Scenario Preparation
This scenario is designed for a party of 4 adventurers whose
average Adventurer Level is 7. If the party has either 3 or 5
PCs, the number of the monsters should be adjusted
accordingly. A 2-player party will have difficulty taking this
adventure on, and so the average Adventurer Level should be
at least 9, if not higher, before taking on this scenario.
If players are running this scenario as a single game and not as
a part of a campaign, characters should be created under the
following circumstances.
Experience Points: Initial Character Creation + 17,000 pts.
Stat Growth: 15 times Money: 30,000G Total Reputation: 300
257
Example characters can include the following:
Character 1: Fighter Level 7, Artificer Level 5, Enhancer Level
1 (0 Experience remaining)
Character 2: Sorcerer Level 7, Sage Level 5 (2,000 Experience
remaining)
Character 3: Fencer Level 7, Scout Level 5, Bard Level 4 (500
Experience remaining)
Character 4: Priest Level 6, Conjurer Level 6 (1,000
Experience remaining)
Scenario Setting
The adventure begins in the city of Kashkarn, the
southernmost city on the continent of Razeldawn.
Razeldawn is still a very wild continent, with many of its lands
and resources under the control of the Barbarous. It is only
quite recently that there have been attempts to push north and
take control of the continent, and Kashkarn represents that
first step. However, many of the developing villages around
Kashkarn are subject to attacks from both Barbarous and the
native monsters, many of which are much stronger than can
be found on Terastier. On the other hand, many adventurers
have been flocking to Kashkarn in hopes of finding any ruins
from long lost civilizations, and it is quite possible for
adventuring parties to make their name in defense of the
northern continent.
Reading the Scenario

In the following text, some text will be in italics. These
sentences are meant to be read aloud by the GM, in order to
set the scene in each player's mind. Other, non-italicized text
258
is for the GM to know what is going on in the scene, as well as
any tricks, traps and treasure that may be found.
The Main Story

The Continent of Razeldawn. Also called the "Twilight
Continent", the lands of Razeldawn are still heavily dominated
by the Barbarous.
Twenty years have passed since humans have attempted to
push north from Terastier, and the city of Kashkarn is the seat
of that progress. One day, one of the outlying villages has been
attacked, and with the exception of a few survivors, completely
wiped out. The garrison at Kashkarn has sent out a number of
men to investigate the situation, but they, too, never returned.
The head of the garrison, Howl Barkman, is taking the loss of
his men very seriously, and is looking for skilled adventurers
to find out what is going on.
Introduction
Kashkarn is the busiest town on the continent of Razeldawn,
positioned almost like it were the entrance into the continent.
Despite the actual population numbering only around 3,000
or so, it is a very lively city.
The party has come north in search of more adventure, riches,
and fame. However, the local Adventurer's Guild, named
"The Bridge of Dreams", doesn't have any work available for
you at the time. As you relax in the hall, disappointment
written clearly on your faces, a small contingent of soldiers
comes up to the party.
259
Scenario Flowchart
The party has come to the city of Kashkarn in search of

adventure and treasure. As seasoned adventurers, they are
pointed to "The Bridge of Dreams" as a place to find rooms
and employment. The guild hall is quite popular with
adventurers passing through, and today is like any other day in
that respect. However, while they do find rooms available (for
a nominal fee), there aren't any jobs that match the party's
abilities.
260
While the party sits and kicks back a few drinks in order to
wash away the disappointment, a couple of soldiers approach
the party, an air of importance about them.
"We have been sent here on orders of the garrison captain
Howl Barkman to recruit capable adventurers for a mission of
importance. Considering the current state of things, we wish to
invite you to follow us back to the garrison and talk with
Captain Barkman."
With that said, the soldiers wait to see if the party will join
them. Being seasoned adventurers (around 7th level or so),
they have a bit of fame, and should be used to being
specifically asked for by name. As for Captain Barkman, it is
well known in Kashkarn that, despite his young age (25 years
old), he is incredibly talented and commands a significant
amount of respect. He is also quite serious when talking about
the safety of Kashkarn and would never lie to the PCs.
Barkman's Request
The garrison headquarters is located on the north side of
town. A stone wall stretches on either side of the building, a
visible sign of the borders of Kashkarn. However, the garrison
itself has two large wooden doors opening into a two-story
wooden building. There is a feeling of rushing around inside,
making it difficult to forget that Kashkarn is still a relatively
new city.
Once inside, the messenger soldiers will direct you to the
captain's office. Sitting behind a desk is a young man with a
stern expression on his face, and you have no doubt that this
is the young captain of the garrison, Howl Barkman.
Barkman dismisses the soldiers, greets the party, and invites
everyone to find seating around his office. Once everyone is
261
seated and comfortable, he begins to go into detail regarding
the mission.
"There have been rumors of an attack on the village of Tyr,
north of here by the Dark Forest. I am here to say that those
rumors are true, and the village has been completely
annihilated by an attack by an unknown agent. We assume that
is was a pack of Barbarous, as they had been seen in the
vicinity, but we don't have any proof.
"Tyr was a small village, around 100 or so residents, but five of
my soldiers were also stationed there. If whatever wiped the
village out was able to withstand the attacks of five of my men,
then we have a serious problem. Specifically, the village of
Molsen, not too far from Tyr, is in great danger. With that in
mind, I'd hired a small adventuring party, not too dissimilar
from yours, to go north and report on what they found in Tyr.
It was only this morning that I received that report, confirming
the entire village of Tyr has been razed to the ground, with no
survivors.
"And so, I find myself here, asking for your assistance. I've
heard stories of your group, and I believe that you are well
suited to this particular mission. I can't let a threat like this be
ignored, and so I'm offering a 4,000 Gamel reward per person
to investigate the situation and take care of whatever had
attacked the village of Tyr. Additionally, our garrison will offer
what we can with regards to food and supplies, as well as the
option of two Treat Potions or five Mako Stones.
"As it stands right now, the assailant is currently unknown.
However, I've received word that one of the adventurers that
had gone north has made their way to Molsen, and so I ask
you to head there yourselves and see what information they
have. It is a two-day ride to Molsen by horseback, so the
262
sooner you can get prepared, the sooner I can have you figure
out what's going on."
If the PCs accept Barkman's offer, whichever of the Treat
Potions or Mako Stones will be provided immediately, as
Barkman will pull them out of a drawer in his desk. If the PCs
don't have any horses to ride, they will also be provided by the
garrison as rentals. Even considering a quick trip to the
marketplace for some last-minute purchases, it is likely that the
PCs will reach Molsen by the next evening if they leave
immediately by horseback. However, if they choose to go on
foot, it will take an additional two days (for a total of 4 days
one way).
Molsen Village
At the end of the second day's ride, the players come across
the village of Molsen.
As the sun begins to drop behind the Dragon Spine
Mountains off to the west, the village of Molsen begins to come
into view. It is a small village, and as you approach you can see
a number of farmers bringing their livestock in from the fields,
keeping them behind a number of wooden fences. You notice
that they seem to be moving awfully quickly, more likely than
not frightened by the horrible attack on Tyr.
Molsen is a small farming village, with around 300 or so
permanent residents. There is a village square, where most of
the markets and such are, with around 50 other houses for the
residents surrounding it. A larger house also faces the square,
this home owned by the mayor Tonto Linde
(Human/Male/47 yrs.). An older man with tanned, leathery
skin from working out in the fields, Linde is willing to talk to
the party as they come into town but has become frightened
263
and overprotective of the Molsen villagers after the destruction
of Tyr. He invites them into his home, both to rest and to
discuss Tyr.
Information from the Survivor - Helena
Also inside the mayor's home is a young elf, Helena Raystein.
Resting in a bed in a spare bedroom, she is the sole survivor
of the previous adventuring party. It is obvious that she is
terribly saddened and depressed, but she is willing to talk, if it
helps to avenger her fallen friends.
The mayor's house is also where Helena Raystein, a priestess
of the Elven goddess Asteria, is resting. She is the sole survivor
of the previous adventuring party sent to scout Tyr by Captain
Barkman. While her physical wounds have been treated and
dressed, it is obvious she feels incredible survivor's guilt over
the loss of her friends. When the party asks, she is willing to
tell what she knows about the attacker, in the hope it will help
her deal with the guilt.
"We were a five-man group... At the request of the Captain, we
headed out in search of what had attacked Tyr. Be careful of
what you wish for, you know?
"...We did end up finding the monster's lair, though it
appeared empty. Not sure when it would return, our leader
planned out a surprise attack, in hopes that we could fight off
whatever it was. Only thing is, whatever the beast was, it was
lurking over our heads at the time, and kept to the air as it
attacked us, at first anyway. It knew before we did that we were
outclassed, and when it finally came down to the ground to
fight, it was all over. By the time we even thought to withdraw,
we were getting overrun. I was the only one... the only one
who..."
264
As Helena recalls the horror of the battle, she gets choked up
remembering the loss of her friends. After a few minutes,
though, she continues.
"The beast... It had the head of a lion, a goat, and a dragon.
Not only was it able to fly around like it was nothing, but it was
able to use magic as well."
A PC with the Sage class can make a Monster Knowledge
check (TN 13), and if successful, knows that the monster
Helena is describing is a Chimera.
"It lives over in some ruins in Bloodrain Mountain, past the
Dark Forest to the east. The ruins are fairly large, but when I
escaped, I found a much faster way out. I'm sure if you go
through that way, you'll come across the monster's lair much
faster than we did."
If the PCs ask for more information about Helena's party, she
will tell them the following information.
Dan (Human/Male/22 yrs.)
Fighter Level 5, Party Leader
Rex (Runefolk/Male/14 yrs.)
Fencer Level 5, Scout Level 5
Io (Human/Male/26 yrs.)
Sorcerer Level 4
Giglitte (Grassrunner/Male/33 yrs.)
Bard Level 4, Marksman Level 4
Helena can draw a map to the lair and is willing to accompany
the PCs if they would let her. As GM, if the party has 3 or
265
fewer PCs, it is recommended that Helena comes along.
While she may not be the most dangerous in melee, her
healing magic should be more than enough to help the PCs
when necessary.

Before the party leaves, Helena speaks one last time.
"Oh, I just remembered something! As I was running, I saw a
group of trolls heading towards the beast's lair. It was quick,
and I didn't want to be killed by them after escaping the
monster, but I think there might have been four of them."
As the conversation with Helena winds down, there is a
sudden commotion and significant noise outside. Screams are
echoing through the town, and a fire can be seen reflecting in
the window.
Chimera Attack
The attack was quick and sudden. As the party looks outside,
fires have spread throughout the small village. A strange
creature is in the air, spewing flames as it hovers over the town.
Against the twilight sky, the red flames give this beast a hellish
appearance.
As Helena fled from the Chimera, it assumed that she was
fleeing towards another settlement. Taking its time to lull the
people into a false sense of security, the Chimera strikes at
dusk, in hopes of causing the most confusion and panic. Over
267
the screams of the townsfolk and the raging fires, it's possible
to hear the Chimera talking to itself.
"Gahahaha! Letting that woman run away was the right idea
after all! Now I have a whole town to feast on!"
The Chimera is deliberately speaking in Trade Common,
hoping to demoralize anyone that hears it. Currently, the
Chimera is hovering around 50m up from the village. If the
PCs attempt to attack it, it will fly another 10m high (to 60m),
attack the party with its magic (as it has the Combat Feat
[Metamagic/Distance]), then fly away.
Chimeras are typically very smart, very cunning creatures, and
will take any chance they get to be sneaky when approaching
what they would consider being prey. In this situation, the
Chimera is avoiding any provocation and only attacking in a
situation that is decidedly in its favor. Once attacked, the
Chimera will only stay in the area for two rounds at most. The
GM should make it obvious that the PCs are outmatched
when trying to fight the Chimera in this situation.
Should the PCs take cover, hide, or try to help out the villagers,
the Chimera will stick around for another round to see the
panic it has caused, then fly off. In the morning, it is apparent
that the Chimera had taken any unprotected livestock away as
food when leaving.
Into the Dark Forest
With Helena's map and knowledge, it is apparent that the
fastest way to the Chimera's lair is through the Dark Forest. If
the PCs know it is a Chimera (due to earlier Monster
Knowledge checks), they will know that the cows the Chimera
has taken will only feed it for a week. Helena will let the party
268
know if they are still unaware of what kind of creature it is
when discussing travel preparations.
It will take a minimum of three days to head to Bloodrain
Mountain, though the party will reach the outskirts of the Dark
Forest after a half-day's travel.
As the name suggests, the Dark Forest is a deep forest with a
thick canopy, letting very little light through even at midday.
Though you could see the peak of Bloodrain Mountain during
the travel here, nothing can be seen beyond the trees in your
way. (Map in hand/With Helena's guidance), you press
forward in search of the lair.
Inside the Dark Forest, the light is dim, but enough that
additional light from torches isn't required.
Each day the party is in the Dark Forest, a PC Scout or Ranger
can make a check, adding their Intelligence Bonus, in order
to determine if the party is lost or not. If the party is alone, the
TN for this check is 12; if Helena is accompanying them, her
advice reduces the TN to 10. Each failed check results in
another day lost in the Dark Forest.
After the second check is rolled (whether it is successful or
not), the party will come across a group of Barbarous.
Troll Encounter
As the party continues through the woods, the light of a bonfire
catches your attention. Carefully approaching it reveals a small
group of Barbarous sitting around the fire. Though few in
number, these Barbarous are quite large, and covered with
rocky skin.
These Barbarous, a group of Trolls, have been sent from the
Town of Mist in order to kill the Chimera. Typically
269
nocturnal, they camp during the day. There are five trolls
altogether, the leader a Dark Troll with 8 Sword Shards.
A successful Danger Sense check (TN 12) will notice the
Trolls at 20m away. Failure will mean the Trolls notice the
party approaching.
If the Danger Sense check is successful, a PC who speaks
Giantish can listen to the Barbarous openly discussing their
plans to attack the Chimera. Their plan, however, is to attack
the Chimera's lair head-on, and until they get there, they will
try to avoid any sort of combat in order to fight at their full
strength.
A failed Danger Sense check will have the Trolls on edge,
though they will not attack immediately. Due to the daylight,
the Trolls are at a disadvantage, and will try to leave if
approached aggressively. If approached with the intent to
negotiate, the Trolls will not respond.
The Trolls can be attacked, in which case they will attack back
in kind. However, if one of the Trolls falls in combat, or three
rounds have passed, they will attempt to retreat and use "Cure
Heart" in order to heal any wounds they may have. If retreat is
not possible, they will fight to the death.
If the PCs defeat all of the Trolls, they will find a missive in
addition to whatever loot the Trolls have. This missive is
written in both Barbaric as well as Giantish and has a small
map showing where the Chimera's lair is.
Barbaric: "Top Priority. Find the Beast. Defeat. Never
forgive."
Giantish: "Find and kill the monster that attacked our city. As
it is, the damage done has delayed our counteroffensive
270
operation significantly. Therefore, that beast cannot be
overlooked any longer. This mission takes top priority, even
over combat with humans. Do not return until this mission is
complete."
To the Ruins of Bloodrain Mountain
After the third successful check from a Scout or Ranger, the
PCs will find themselves at the foot of Bloodrain Mountain. It
is just after noon, and the sun is still quite high in the sky.
Upon seeing the mountain, you can see why it is called
Bloodrain Mountain. Streaks of red run down the sides of the
mountain, almost as if the earth itself is bleeding. The
mountain itself is quite steep, and there are few trees that will
grow in the shadow of the mountain. Looking at the peak of
the mountain, you can see the ruins of an ancient fortress built
into the rock. Perhaps this is the lair of the beast that you've
been looking for.
Attacking the Lair from the Front
If the party attempts to attack the ruins from the front, they
will have to climb a mountain slope that offers a good view,
but poor footing. When climbing the slope, every 10m
requires a Climb check, with a total of 5 successful Climb
checks to reach the peak. Additionally, the Chimera can see
the party approaching, and will fly out and attack from the sky.
Looking for Alternate Entrances
If the party decides to look around for alternate entrances or
exits to the ruins, a successful Search check (TN 12) will reveal
a forgotten entrance to the ruins behind some overgrown
shrubs, at the foot of the mountain. Looking inside, a long
271
staircase stretches up into the distance, and appears as though
it can reach the peak of the mountain.
a: Entrance
A sturdy entranceway, made entirely of smooth, carved stone.
It seems to be a typical ruin from the Al Menas period,
perhaps an old fortress or barracks. There are a couple of
heavy wooden doors, broken and fallen over, and there are
countless scars of battle carved into the smooth walls.
The width of the corridor is about 3m wide, large enough for
two average people to walk side by side. There is a short
corridor, about 5m long, then a long stairway reaches up into
darkness. In order to continue, a light needs to be used.
There is no special mechanism to open the doors, as they are
already on the ground outside. Looking around, it is obvious
this entranceway has seen no use in quite some time, due to
the thick dust and lack of footprints. In order to continue up
the staircase, a torch or other light needs to be used.
b: Crossroads
This small area used to be a crossroad within the ruins.
However, the left passageway continues for 5m, then ends
abruptly in a pile of collapsed dirt and stone. There is a door
10m down the right passageway, and the staircase in front
continues upward, disappearing into darkness.
The collapsed passage to the left is a dead end, with no
possible passage through to whatever may have been on the
other side. The door to the right is locked and requires a
Scout's Open Lock check (TN 14) to open successfully.
272
c: Armory Room Size: 15m x 20m
The door opens into a rectangular room, countless old
weapons lined up against the walls. It's possible there may be
some usable weapons, were you to spend some time looking
through the racks. There is also a large chest against the far
wall.
Weapons of all kinds line the walls. These weapons are fairly
old B-rank weapons, so even if the party were to take them
back and sell them, they would be worth half as much due to
age. A Scout can find a couple of special weapons with good
Search checks. A Search check (TN 14) finds a Magic
Flamberge +1, while a Search check (TN 18) finds a Magic
Tempest +1. These weapons can also be found using "Mana
Search".
The chest is locked and trapped. A Search check (TN 15) will
find there is a mechanism that triggers when the chest is
opened, and an Open Lock check (TN 15) will disable the
mechanism. A separate Open Lock check (TN 15) needs to
be made to actually open the chest.
The trap will trigger if the chest is opened without disabling
the trap, or if the Open Lock check to disable the mechanism
fails twice. The chest explodes, dealing 2d + 20 Fire-type
damage to everyone in the room, with a Fortitude check (TN
16) to take half damage.
The chest contains 3 Treat Potions, 2 10MP Mako Stones,
and 5,000G in silver. If the trap is triggered, only the coins
remain among the rubble, everything else is broken and
useless.
273
274
d: Guarded Room Room Size: 15m x 30m
This room originally was a much larger room. However, it
seems there was a great collapse on the left side of the room,
burying it in dirt and sand. There are a couple of crushed
sentry robots among the rubble, but the intact sentries along
the back of the room seem to be a more pressing issue.
The room was originally a storage area for Gar-UI robots,
though only two remain intact and functional. They will attack
any intruders who come into the room and will chase them
throughout the ruins. However, they will not follow any
intruders outside.
There is a hidden door behind where one of the Gar-UIs
stood. After defeating the robots, the closest PC will notice the
door, without any check required.
e: Spiral Staircase
Behind the secret door is a short passage, leading to a spiral
staircase heading up. A foul odor drifts from above, some vile
mix of rotten meat and monster musk.
This staircase leads to the room where the Chimera has its lair.
The Chimera is too large to fit into the staircase, and so uses
it like a trash chute, tossing old carcasses and such into the
staircase. As the party heads up the stairs, they will come across
a number of bodies. Most of these are skeletons, though there
are some bodies of animals and humanoids with some rotting
flesh still clinging to the bones.
Showdown with the Chimera
At the top of the staircase is a half-open door. Peeking through
the gap in the door, you see the source of your recent troubles.
Prepare yourselves - the Chimera is near!
275
At the top of the staircase is a door, behind which is the lair of
the Chimera. The room is about 15m x 30m, with one wall
completely collapsed, allowing the Chimera to see outside.
From here, the Chimera can come and go as it pleases, flying
out over the Dark Forest without hassle.
From here, the encounter will proceed differently, depending
upon how the party progressed throughout the adventure.
① The Party never got lost heading to the lair

If the party never lost its way during any sort of travel, the
Chimera is awake, though laying about around 15m away from
the door. Two Stone Servants created by the Chimera are each
standing about 20m from the door, facing out over the
mountain to keep lookout. If the party attacks now, they will
receive a +2 bonus to Initiative.
② The Party is a day late, or waits for a while

If the party is late to the top, whether due to getting lost for a
day or just waiting around, the Troll warriors from the Dark
Forest will make their way to the peak and begin fighting with
the Chimera.
If the party sits by, the Chimera will win the fight, completely
annihilating the Trolls. However, it will lose both Stone
Servants, as well as half its MP (though it will be at full HP due
to using Drain Touch on a Troll).
If the PCs choose to fight alongside the Trolls, they will work
together to fight the Chimera. However, a Troll will have fallen
for each round the PCs were on the sidelines. Of course, if the
PCs attacked and defeated the Trolls back in the Dark Forest,
this does not happen.
276
③ The Party is 2 or more days late
In this situation, the battle between the Chimera and the Trolls
will have already occurred, with the Trolls being wiped out. By
this point, the Chimera has repaired its Stone Servants, and is
in a perfect position to fight. Because of the Troll attack, the
Chimera is alert, and so the party does not receive any
bonuses.
Adjusting the Chimera's Strength
If there are 4 PCs in the party, the Chimera should be given 9
Sword Shards, in order to increase its HP and MP by a
considerable amount. For 3 or fewer PCs traveling without
Helena, reduce the Sword Shards to 5, and remove the Stone
Servants entirely. For 5 or more PCs, increase the Sword
Shards to 15, and double the number of Stone Servants (to
four).
Fighting the Chimera
The Chimera has high Intelligence, and should be played as a
smart, cunning monster. It will use magic and Flame Breath
against those enemies in heavy armor, while moving into
melee range against those with light armor. It will also send
Stone Servants to attack those in the Rearguard/hiding in the
back (depending upon the Combat rules used).
The Chimera has 5 sections, and so there needs to be three or
more opponents in order to block its movement. The PCs will
be overwhelmingly disadvantaged if they do not attack swiftly
and with their full power. However, due to its large size, the
Chimera cannot easily attack anything within the doorframe.
277
As long as the Goat Head is alive, it will try to cast "Spark" on
any party member hanging back, as well as using "Drain
Touch" on those in melee with it. It will also use "Forbid Magic"
in order to try and shut down any spellcasters and strengthens
the Stone Servants using "Intense Control".
Chimera's Treasures
In addition to the loot that drops upon the Chimera's defeat,
there is also 10,000G worth of silver coins scattered around
the monster's lair.
The Trolls
If the PCs get the jump on the Chimera and manage to defeat
it before the Trolls arrive, they will appear after the battle is
over. However, they will not attack the PCs unless attacked,
and will respect them for taking out the Chimera. Upon
leaving, the Dark Troll leader will speak to the party in Trade
Common.
"I didn't think there were strong enough heroes among the
humans that could take out the Chimera. I'm glad to be proven
wrong. However, next time we meet, we will be enemies. And
I'm looking forward to that day, so that way I can fight the great
heroes at their best."
End
Upon defeating the Chimera and returning to Kashkarn, the
scenario ends. On the way back, there are no special events,
and the PCs can stay in Molsen for a day to regain their
bearings.
278
In addition to the reward from Captain Barkman, the party
will receive 1,000 + (1d x 10) Experience Points, as well as the
Experience Points for all of the monsters defeated along the
way. If the party manages to avoid the fight with the Trolls in
the Dark Forest, they will receive Experience for that as well.
Subsequent Developments
By killing the Chimera, the PCs will have earned the trust and
respect of Captain Barkman, and further requests may come
directly from his master, the Princess General Magdalena
Yates. Also, if the party managed to talk to the Trolls at all,
they are aware that a Barbarous invasion on Kashkarn is
planned soon, and preparations need to be made for that.
In any case, the continent of Razeldawn is always full of threats
and danger, so the players have no end to the adventures to
choose from.
279
Faith of the Barbarous
Some Barbarous, like humans, do find solace in the gods, and

have taken to worshiping them and performing miracles in
their name. These Barbarous are followers of the Gods of the
Second Sword, Ignis, which are known among the civilized
races as the Malevolent Gods.
As with humans, there are Barbarous of the same type, the
same clan who have widely different beliefs. Much like
humanoid priests, they seek to go out and spread the word and
teachings of their gods to others.
Alternate Basic Divine Spells
While Barbarous can become priests, able to learn and cast

divine spells, some spells are unavailable to them due to their
very natures. At the same time, there are some spells that are
only available to Barbarous priests.
Specifically, Barbarous priests are unable to use the 1st level
spell "Banish", as well as the 4th level spells "Sacred Weapon"
and "Sacred Shield". However, they make up for it by being
able to cast the 1st level spell "Fear" and the 4th level spells
"Vice Weapon" and "Vice Shield".

Gods of the Barbarous
Barbarous follow the gods of the Second Sword, Ignis. When

using a Barbarous character that is a Priest, choose which god
the Barbarous follows, and grant them the appropriate spells.
The gods introduced here are unavailable for PC Priests to
choose from.
Ancient Gods
"God of War", Dalkhrem
The oldest and most powerful of the gods given power by
Ignis. For more information, refer to the Core Rulebook I.
Major Gods
"Goddess of Decay" Bragzabas
A major god born during the War of the Gods, Bragzabas is
the master of poisons, illnesses, and rot. Often seen as a
beautiful woman with a mysterious smile, there are other
depictions showing fetid wings and rotten tails.
During the War of the Gods, she suffered greatly at the hands
of those enlightened by the First Sword, Lumiere. In
retaliation, she crafted a plague so vile that even the other gods
282
powered by Ignis could see the true evil inside Bragzabas'
heart.
Reveling in turmoil and despair, she delights in spreading
death and disease indiscriminately. Her followers see these
acts and follow in her footsteps, trying to kill as many as they
can and dedicating their own soul to the goddess. However,
despite appearing to be carefree and wild, Bragzabas is
incredibly crafty, and often has brutal plans being secretly
carried out by her followers.
"Immortal God" Metissier
The god of death and immortality, Metissier is a blasphemous
god, seeking to control over an army of immortals himself.
Often depicted as a thoughtful, handsome young man, there
are some who show Metissier as an older, muscular, and
robust man. Those who yearn for immortality no matter the
cost can find solace among his worshipers, and occasionally
even power-mad sorcerers, self-centered and corrupt, will take
up worship of Metissier.
Irredeemably scarring the souls of his followers to the point
where they become undead, he looks to see if the power
granted by such gifts can be collected into a single vessel for
his own use. By following Metissier, a Barbarous Priest is
taking steps to try and become immortal themselves. Perhaps
as a by-product of this path, or perhaps by failing their quest,
these priests are accompanied by a number of various undead.
Those that succeed in their quest for immortality become
Nosferatu, and even go so far as to consider themselves
"nobles" among the Barbarous. Such nosferatu tend to settle in
the castles and labyrinths they grew up in originally,
surrounding themselves with throngs of undead servants.
283
"Mad God" Laris
A mysterious god, his origins are shrouded in mystery.
As they have a far different, nearly alien, way of thinking and
set of morals, daemons are almost exclusively followers of
Laris. Their worship is exceedingly incomprehensible for
humanoids or Barbarous, and so the power of the Mad God
is extremely difficult to acquire. And powerful he is indeed,
allowing even the undead to return the dead to life, making
Laris one of the most powerful gods in Raxia.
Due to the various contracts and binding magics, daemons are
often unable to act on their own desires. However, when
unleashed upon Raxia and given Laris' protections, the actions
of these daemons is both incredibly cruel and amazingly
reckless. Despite the risks of following the Mad God, there are
those humanoids and Barbarous who have slipped into the
embrace of madness, and these few have been able to learn of
Laris and his power.

289
Bestiary
Here are a number of new monsters for the GM to use in

creating their own threatening scenarios.
New Additions
This books has a few new additions to the bestiary.

New Monster Type: Fairy
These fairies are much, much larger, and more powerful than
those commonly seen around Fairy Tamers. Infused with a
significant amount of mana, they retain the child-like nature
and mischievous streak of their smaller brethren. However,
they are not actively malicious, but have a short attention span
and will create accidents due to their negligence.
Core Section: ** (##)
Some monsters may have multiple core sections. ** will be the
name of the core section, while ## is either (one) or (all).
Core Section: ** (one)
If a monster has even one of their core sections reduced to 0
HP, it will be unable to continue fighting.
Core Section: ** (all)
A monster with this designation requires all of their core
sections to be reduced to 0 HP in order for it to stop fighting.
290
Using Techniques with Multiple Sections
Some monsters may have multiple sections that can use
techniques similar to Enhancers. In such cases, the monster
subtracts the appropriate MP from each section to be affected.
For example, if a Manticore (with 2 sections, Front and Back)
were to use the technique "Beetleskin", both the Front and
Back sections would each have to spend 3 MP to be affected.
Experience for Monsters with Multiple Sections
When determining how many Experience Points to give to
players, a GM may consider a monster with multiple sections
as the equivalent number of monsters of that level. To use the
Manticore again, it is a level 6 monster with 2 sections, so the
GM can treat that as two level 6 monsters defeated.
Treasure and Looting Monsters with Multiple Sections
When searching a monster with multiple sections for loot after
combat, the GM may allow the players to roll a number of
times equal to the total sections of the monster defeated.
However, "Always" found loot can only be found once, no
matter the number of sections the monster may have had.

A variant of Gremlin (see CR I: p. 439-452), these barbarous have
strikingly purple skin. They are also a bit larger than their kin, ending up
roughly the size of a human child. Deep Gremlins are also much more
brutally cunning, going above and beyond what would normally be
considered harmless pranks. For example, a Deep Gremlin "prank" will
see them kill some livestock, disguise itself as one of the dying animals,
and call out to human children in order to scare and terrify them.

[Continuous Attack]
If a Boggart Swordsman successfully

[Techniques]
A Boggart Swordsman may use the "Cat's Eyes" Technique.
Much leaner than most Boggarts (see CR I: p. 439-452), these Boggart
Swordsmen more than make up for it in speed and agility. They leverage
this improved agility by dual-wielding weapons, turning them into very
dangerous opponents. Even among Boggarts, a Boggart Swordsman is
often involved in scouting and covert operations.

gods. Standing just shy of 2m, they look like upright lizards, though they
take offense if mistaken for lildraken.
While they are unable to breathe underwater, Lizardmen can hold their
breath for up to an hour, like elves, and similarly have houses with both
dry and wet sections.

This particular breed of Boggart (see CR I: p. 439-452) is twice as tall as
normal Boggarts and is just as muscular. Often seen at the head of
Boggart groups, Troopers are often in charge of defending their home
base, if not leading the attack. A favorite hobby is seeking out the largest

A Merman can choose any number of allies in the same skirmish and

Also called mermaids, these barbarous have the lower half as that of a
fish. As they lived in the sea for most of their history, Mermen had little
contact with the land-bound races, and thus escaped a lot of persecution
as humanoid civilization grew and prospered. As a race, Mermen tend
to avoid fighting except in self-defense, and are often neutral towards
most other races. They do have a hostile relationship with Gilmen,
however, which could theoretically be leveraged into an alliance with
Elves against the other aquatic races.

Spear cavalry of centaurs, Impalers are often young and anxious to show
off their military training. Despite their youth, Centaur Impalers are the

following their commands. In combat, a Centaur Impaler will often seek
out and fight the strongest enemy on the battlefield, looking to prove
themselves on the field of battle.

These barbarous, resembling human women, live out on open water,
often on a reef, small island, or other isolated area. Sirens have an
entertaining personality and will often create mischief and have fun using
their Spellsongs with visitors, regardless of if they're humanoids or
barbarous.
Sirens are very dangerous to those at sea, however, as their beautiful,
nearly nude appearance and powerful Spellsongs can cause the entire
crew of a ship to jump overboard. It's also said that the feathered
kimonos of sirens are what gives them the ability to fly, and so people go
out to try and trade for these kimonos.

Bishops among the Merman species are powerful, following the gods and
leading their tribes in the manner prescribed by their words. Bishops
even have the ear of Merman chiefs, giving them considerable political
power as well.
While Merman Bishops tend to follow the Ancient Gods, regardless of
whether they're gods of the First Sword, Lumiere, or the Second Sword,
Ignis, there are those who follow gods that have recently found
apotheosis and are thus unknown among the land-swelling races.

Ogre's maximum HP and MP are decreased by 5. Accuracy, Evasion,
Fortitude and Willpower are also reduced by 1 point each. This form
can be held up to a total of 18 hours per day.
Much larger than the Lesser species, Ogres wield significantly more
power, both physically and magically. Standing close to 3m tall, they are
able to use larger equipment, to the point that an Ogre's sword seems to
be more a slab of metal with a handle than a forged sword.
Ogres want to act as though they are master tacticians, using Lesser Ogres
and other barbarous as fodder for their evil (and often cowardly)
operations to attack humanoid races. However, their success rate isn't the
greatest, and those who fail often tend to be sent on those same suicide
missions by other Ogres.

A giant monster with a cow's head on a humanoid body, Minotaurs are
incredibly powerful and dangerous monsters. Their intelligence is fairly
low, but they are quick to anger, and when riled they are difficult to deal
with. Adept at finding sword labyrinths, they will often take up residence
inside and quite often become the warden of such labyrinths. A minotaur
will only really need to eat every few days but will often lure young women
to the labyrinth in order to be devoured.

An incredibly strong monster, the Gory stands around 3m tall, with arms
dangling to the ground even when standing upright. It's hairless body is a
dark brown, and with hands larger than a man's head it can be very
dangerous in melee combat. While a Gory is usually seen with a smile
that's almost pasted on, when serious they will take on a ferocious
grimace.
Usually found alone, Gorys can also be found in the service of other
barbarous as a bouncer. However, due to their fierce love of fighting, it

A successful hit from a Tentacle entangles the target. Each round, the
entangled target is hit automatically by the Tentacle, and makes all

cumulative.
Removing the entangling tentacles requires an (Adventurer Level +
Strength bonus) Check opposed by the Scylla Tentacle's Accuracy
check. This check may be made by another person as well. If successful,
the target is not entangled anymore.
[Soft Body]
Blunt weapons treat the Scylla's Tentacle Defense as 3 points higher.

The upper half of this particular barbarous is similar to that of a beautiful
human woman, while the lower body is a mass of a dozen octopus-like
tentacles. Living in swamps and rivers, Scyllas will have their upper
bodies above the water line in order to lure victims closer. Rather
intelligent, a Scylla will use the full extent of their Truespeech Magic in
order to raise an undead army to do their bidding as well. While
normally quite cunning and brutal, a Scylla will occasionally treat their
favorite people as pets and allow them a little more leniency than they
would victims they plan on eating right away.

both an intense sense of faith as well as a powerful love for combat. A
high-ranking member of Troll society, they stand out with their jet-black
skin and dangerous aura. Dark Trolls violently hate cowardice, and will

end up getting crushed under the Dark Troll's immense power.

If either ability score drops to 0, the character immediately turns to
stone. If the target uses fixed values, they instead receive a -1 penalty to

[Monstrous Form]
As a Major Action, the Basilisk (Human Form) can change into a
monstrous form, restoring HP and MP to maximum and removing any
lingering magical effects. For more information, see the Basilisk
(Monstrous Form) data. Once transformed, the Basilisk cannot return
to human form for 1 hour.
Indistinguishable from humans at first glance, a Basilisk is a Barbarous
with the power of petrification. Basilisks are often seen wearing
blindfolds in order to suppress their petrifying gaze until they find the
right target. Even then, the petrifying gaze can be used through the
blindfold, and petrified animal remains can often be found around a
Basilisk den.
Often found in deserts, they collect various lesser Barbarous as followers
and slaves, though they have a rivalry with Drakes as to who is stronger.
Despite this, if the situation calls for it, a Basilisk and Drake may work
together for a greater goal, and woe come to those who stand in their
way.

MP, and any lingering magical effects remain affecting the Basilisk. This
can result in death if the Basilisk's HP is now 0 or lower. For more
information, see the Basilisk (Human Form) data.
The true identity of a Basilisk, this eight-legged beast looks like a lizard
5m long. While the Basilisk's intelligence and speed are a little lower, the
ability to petrify foes has increased, making the Basilisk even more
dangerous. However, most Basilisks feel that this form is quite ugly, and
hate being seen by others in this form. As such, they will almost certainly
try and either kill or petrify those who see this hideous form.

numerous dark magics, often without discriminating between friend and
foe. It is rumored that the Faceless were failed experiments from the
early magical civilizations, and they are always looking for more magic to
play with. Occasionally, they can be seen as officers of barbarous armies,

[Beast Shift]
As a Minor Action, the Werewolf can turn from humanoid to a bestial
form, and back again. The Werewolf can only make Claw attacks while
in beast form.
One of many different shapeshifters that falls under the classification
"lycanthrope", a Werewolf is the most common of the beastmen. Other
were-animals exist as well, such as Weretigers and Werebears, but their
numbers are nowhere near those of the Werewolf. When in their
humanoid form, they would very easily be able to pass among civilized
folk without issue. However, they can turn into a bestial form, growing
fur over their body, their face turning to that of a wolf, and sharp claws
growing from both hands. They form their own clans, with strict
hierarchies based on age, so that the young Werewolves help the elders
out when necessary.
314
While Werewolves cannot breed on their own, they create more by
kidnapping humans and forcing them to perform dark rituals. Some of
these newly created Werewolves are more than happy to accept their
new abilities and do their best to infiltrate human society to advance
whatever secret plans they have. For humanoid Werewolves, the "Bandit
Chief" (see p. 406) data will work in a pinch.

[Dragonification]
As a Major Action, the Drake Baron transforms into a draconic form,
healing all HP and MP. Any lingering magical effects are removed as
well. For more information, see the Drake Baron (Dragon Form) data.
A Drake Baron cannot transform for an hour after using this ability.
Similar in appearance to the lesser Drakes (see CR I: p. 439-452), yet
with a much more regal presence, Drake Barons are imposing leaders of
the barbarous. While it's rumored there's little more than 100 of these
Drake Barons throughout the entirety of Raxia, even those few are
enough to bring much of humanity to its knees.

directed towards a single target. The energy travels to a range of 50m and
deals 2d + 16 Energy-type damage. This ability cannot be used in
consecutive turns.
[Humanification]
As a Minor Action, a Drake Baron (Dragon Form) can change from a
draconic form to a human. However, any HP lost as a dragon is carried
over as a human, which may cause death if enough HP is lost. For more
information, see the Drake Baron (Dragon Form) data.
• Wings
[Flight]
A Drake Baron (Dragon Form) receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only

A much larger form of the smaller Drakes, the draconic form of the
Drake Baron is as impressive and menacing as their human form. Their
scales deepen and take on a steelier shine from the original silver-white,
and the abilities of the Drake Baron are overall much more powerful
than lesser Drakes.

Standing around 5m tall, the Hill Giant is actually the smallest of the
giants. Not too bright either, a Hill Giant will chase down prey and will
attempt to eat just about anything once. While other barbarous do use
the services of Hill Giants because of their immense power and strength,
it's also fairly easy to exploit the poor giants and more than a few end up

A Lesser Vampire may cast Divine Magic as a tenth-level Priest. It is up

[Gaze / 13 (20) / Will / Negated]
Once per round as a Minor Action, a Lesser Vampire may attempt to
paralyze a single target. If the target fails to resist the Gaze, they are
paralyzed for 10 seconds (1 round) and cannot take any Minor Actions.
If the target's resistance roll is 16 or less, the target is instead fascinated
by the Lesser Vampire, and will move to aid and defend it for the next
minute (6 rounds).
[Vampire Fangs / 13 (20) / Evasion / Negated]
The Lesser Vampire attacks with draining fangs, dealing 2d+10 Physical
damage. The Lesser Vampire heals HP equal to the total damage dealt.
If the target is reduced to 0 HP or lower from this attack, they receive a
-10 penalty to their next Death Check. If the character fails this Death
Check, they receive an extra 5 soulscars, and rise as a Blood Sucker.
Lesser Vampires lose 6 HP and MP per day (cumulative) that they do
not drain blood via Vampire Fangs, and also cannot use their
320
"Regeneration" ability. These penalties immediately go away once the
Lesser Vampire successfully drains blood via Vampire Fangs.
[Flight]
A Lesser Vampire receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee
attacks) and Evasion while flying.
[Normal Weapon Immunity]
A Lesser Vampire is immune to damage from normal weapons and can
only be harmed with silver or magical weapons.
[Regeneration]
At the end of each round, a Lesser Vampire recovers 7 HP.
[Vampire Body]
As long as a Lesser Vampire is under sunlight, it receives a -2 penalty to
all Accuracy and Evasion Checks. Additionally, the Lesser Vampire
cannot use their "Regeneration" or "Normal Weapon Immunity" abilities,
and at the end of each round, the Lesser Vampire is dealt 7 Magic
damage. This damage cannot be reduced by any means.
Immortalized by a Blood Kiss from an older Nosferatu, these Lesser
Vampires are incredibly powerful, even among the Barbarous. Often
followers of Metissier, these were once humans that have fallen into the
good graces of other vampires and have left their humanity behind.
Despite this, they are often very beautiful, and even their gaze can
paralyze and fascinate lesser creatures.
Lesser Vampires must still drink blood on a daily basis in order to keep
themselves at peak performance. The actual source of the blood can be
any living being, but oftentimes, they will prey upon beautiful members
of the opposite gender. Occasionally, they will even starve themselves in
order to fit in to society and get closer to their desired target, making the
drinking all the sweeter. Care has to be taken, however, as it is very easy
to drain a target entirely and raise them as a subordinate Blood Sucker,
and often a Lesser Vampire has a small retinue of followers.
Despite their powers, sunlight is the bane of the Lesser Vampire,
reducing them to ash in a very small amount of time. After only a few
minutes outside during the day, all that will be left of the Lesser Vampire
is a pile of ashes and possibly some clothing. Because of this, Lesser
Vampires will be loath to move out of their roost during daylight hours.

At the end of the turn, the Garuda creates an area of turbulent winds

2d+15 Slash-type damage.

A 3m tall barbarous with a bird-like head and large wings on their back,
Garudas are masters of the winds. In fact, they are known as "Sky Kings"
among lower ranks of the barbarous, and with good reason. They despise
any others flying in what they consider their airspace and will often go
out alone in order to drive out or kill the interlopers.

Similar to a rattlesnake, a Sidewinder is a snake 1m long, and is often
found in deserts or other dry areas. As they are nocturnal, a Sidewinder
is rarely seen during the day, and only comes out at night to hunt. Rarely,
there is a snake skin of high quality, and these skins are used to make a

The Giant Spider shoots a sticky silk 6-9 Sticky Silk Ball

takes a -2 penalty to Evasion for 3 10+ Large Sticky Silk
minutes (18 rounds). If a target is Ball (150G)
already affected by Sticky Silk and
then hit again, they also become
unable to make any melee or ranged attacks and cannot cast spells.
If there is a nearby fire (such as a torch), the silk will burn away in 30
seconds (3 rounds). However, if the target is hit with any Fire-type
damage (i.e., from a "Firebolt" spell), the silk instantly burns away.
Sticky Silk cannot be used in consecutive rounds.
Giant Spiders can often be found in deep forests and labyrinths and will
move stealthily despite their 2m size. Nesting in passages and holes, they
will wait until prey walks into their territory, cover them with webs until
they stop moving, then move in to feed. While Giant Spiders will go after
prey larger than they are, any open flames (such as those from a torch)
will deter the spider from attacking.

A ferocious animal, closely resembling a gorilla, the Gorgol is much

animals than them, break off any fangs and horns, and wear them as
decoration. If a couple of Gorgols come into conflict, a show of strength
from both is displayed, and the loser will give all of their fangs and horns

The Overeater can attack any target

If the Overeater hits with their Vine attack, the target is consumed by the
Overeater. An Overeater with a living organism inside will recover 5 HP
at the end of its turn, while the organism inside cannot move, receives a
-3 penalty to all Actions, and receives 5 Poison-type damage at the end
of its turn. Only one organism may be Engulfed in this way, though the
plant may disgorge any organisms inside in order to take in a new
organism.
As a Major Action, the Overeater may be pried open using an
Adventurer Level + Strength Bonus check against a value of 12. This
check can also be made by another character who is not Engulfed. A
character escaping the Overeater falls prone once outside of the plant.
A large, boxy plant, the Overeater looks like a tree trunk overgrown with
ivy and vines. However, it captures and feeds off of animals and other
organisms and will attract prey by waving its flowers. Occasionally, there
are some small bits of metal or gems from previous victims at the bottom
of the plant.

[Deadly Scream / Special / Fort &

Once per day, when its HP is reduced, the Mandrake can unleash a
terrifying, deadly scream. Every living character in 30m must
immediately make both a Fortitude and Willpower check.
Those characters that fail a Fortitude check against a value of 10 instantly
drop to 0 HP, are knocked unconscious and fall prone.
Those characters that fail a Willpower check against a value of 14 cannot
perform any Major or Minor Actions, and receive a -4 penalty to
Evasion, for 10 seconds (1 round).
The bulk of the perennial Mandrake is it's large, human-shaped root.
The root is about 60cm and is typically buried in soil for most of the year,
with only a small amount of leaves sprouting from the top. Under normal
circumstances, a Mandrake will prefer to grow in dimly-lit sections of
deep forests, and have distinctive pale, pink flowers. As winter grows
near, the Mandrake will uproot itself and wander in search of a mate,
looking to create a new batch of seeds.
Due to their purported uses in medicines and other concoctions,
Mandrakes have been overhunted by both humanoids and barbarous,
and so hold grudges against both groups. A Mandrake can call upon
Fairy magic in order to help protect itself, as well as the signature
screaming, they are known for. It's said that those who hear the scream
and live will still be afflicted with any number of mental disorders.

[Poison Needle / 8 (15) / Fort / Negated]
The Big Archer has two possible poisons it can use with its Needles. If
the Big Archer hits with their Needle attack, the target must immediately
make a Fortitude check.
For "Rotting Poison", if the target fails to resist, they receive an extra 7
Poison-type damage.
For "Paralyzing Poison", if the target fails to resist, they receive a -1

[Million Needles]
A Big Archer may attack all characters within range of the Vine Network

This plant hides on the ground, similar to the Needle Archers. However,
the needles launched by Big Archers are much more resilient and can

Each time the Poison Mold's HP is damaged, disease spores fly out from

10 (to a minimum of 0). If a character's maximum HP is reduced to 0 in
this way, they immediately die (no Death Check needed). This reduction
does not go away normally and must be removed via "Cure Disease" or
other such effects.
A dark green mold with deadly poison spores, commonly found deep
underground or in the depths of large forests. Spreading over an area
anywhere from 5m to 20m in radius, the mold will blast any interlopers

One day after being infected with
(6,000G)
spores, small magenta mushrooms
begin to grow over the body of the host, reducing all ability scores by 6
points (fixed value characters receive -1 to Accuracy, Evasion, Fortitude
and Willpower). Even if these mushrooms are removed, new ones will
grow in their place. These penalties are cumulative per day (though no
ability score can go below 0).
Once an ability score reaches 0, or after 3 days, the character becomes
immobile, and will spread spores unconsciously. Additionally, the
character suffers from severe hallucinations as the Fungal Parasite takes
over the body.
After 7 days of infection, the character's will be totally lost, the Fungal
Parasite now in total control of the character's body. At this point, only
reducing the Fungal Parasite's HP to 0 and then casting "Refresh" will
cure the character.
[Phantom Spores / 13 (20) / Fort / Negated]
These blue-violet spores are scattered around the Fungal Parasite, and
all those in the same skirmish must make a Fortitude check. Those that
fail will see the Fungal Parasite as someone close to them and will move
to protect the Fungal Parasite from anything and anyone who wishes to
do it harm. Even if the Fungal Parasite attacks an affected character, they
344
will still remain under the effect of these spores. This is a Disease-type
effect and is cured appropriately.
This monster is actually a humanoid covered in parasitic mushrooms,
feeding the mushroom as it decomposes. Typically found in dark, damp
places, the Fungal Parasite will attack any humanoid or animal passing
by, hoping to infect them and use them as a new host. Fungal Parasite
hosts will last for a year or two before becoming desiccated husks,
drained of all vital nutrients. It is possible to save a victim of the Fungal
Parasites, though it involves casting a "Refresh" spell on a host whose HP
has been reduced to 0.
Rarely, a mushroom called "The Phantom of the Forest" may grow
among the various Fungal Parasites. This mushroom is non-toxic, and
quite delicious, so it is valued by many among the culinary community.
Additionally, it is thought to have some anti-aging properties, and some
elder priests have sent out adventurers specifically to look for these
mushrooms.

A Ghost is immune to damage from normal weapons and can only be

Ghosts are a manifestation of the thoughts of the dead and dying, given

their appearance in life, as well as what knowledge they had learned over
their lifetime, though this may be of questionable usefulness as time

sets it apart. These robots are responsible for patrolling specific routes
known only to their long-lost masters and are able to move both on land

When an intruder is found, the Nezha will attack with its powerful bite.
If the intruder proves to be a formidable opponent, the Nezha will set

beasts in hiding, trained adventurers also have a bit of a "sixth sense"
about such monsters. Carelessly wandering through dungeons, however,

[Aimed Attack]
When attacking, the Rock Golem can gain a +2 bonus to Accuracy but

Rock Golems are humanoid constructs built entirely out of rocks of
various sizes and stand menacingly around 3m tall. Their construction
allows them to ignore criticals from a number of different sources, pure
energy being one of the few things to damage the construct actually
seriously.
In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Conjurer class, they

Sinker House can flip itself 180 (3,600G)

fall 5m (taking fall damage) and will fall prone. This ability cannot be
used in consecutive turns.

any character falling on a softened floor will take no damage.

The Sinker House sets the floor on fire, dealing 2d-2 Fire-type damage

[Floor Lubrication]
The Sinker House soaks the floor and makes it slippery, giving all

character standing on the floor at the end of their turn must make an
(Adventurer level + Agility bonus) check against a value of 13, falling
prone if they fail this check.
[Mimicry]
A Sinker House can choose to appear as though it was an ordinary room.
Its true form cannot be detected by the normal eye, but Sense Magic will
reveal the truth.
A monster that mimics a small traveler's hut, room, or other such
building, the Sinker House is deceptively dangerous. Fitting in an area
370
usually around 5m in height, width and depth, the Sinker House can be
attacked through the floor or walls. The house can create a large conical
drill to attack the inhabitants, changing the floor to make it more
dangerous for the inhabitants all the while.
While the Sinker House is often seen as a small hut, it can actually
appear as any kind of room, both indoor and outdoor, in order to trap
victims inside. However, these rooms do appear to be slightly distorted,
and this distortion can give away the Sinker House's mimicry.
Additionally, Gargoyles and other flying creatures find the interior quite
welcoming, which only makes it all the more dangerous for unaware
adventurers.

[Protective Shield Deployment]
When the War DOOM takes Physical or Magical Fire-, Water-, Wind-

nullifying any subsequent attacks of the same element. The War
DOOM may form a new shield automatically upon hit but loses the
effect of any previous shields in doing so.
A massive machine made solely for war; the War DOOM was the
pinnacle of the DOOM series of robots. Built during the Al Menas
period, these machines were mass-produced and sent to fight
innumerable battles. With a cannon the size of a human torso, anti-
personnel missiles, and a pair of machine guns, its offensive power is
unmatched. Additionally, it retains the protective shielding from the
Queen DOOM models as well, giving it substantial defenses. A true
killing machine.

weapons, armor, shields, and ornaments. This includes those magical

items from the Al Menas era. S-Rank metal objects, as well as those from
the Durandal period and earlier, remain unaffected.
A giant monster about 1m in diameter, a Buckbaird has one huge eye in
the front and a myriad of much smaller eyes around its body. It's covered
in a fine black fur, and floats using a mysterious power. The front eye
has an incredible magical power and can fire five different rays at targets
in front of it. Due to the structure of the eye, only one ray can be used at
a time. In combat, the Buckbaird combines the usage of these rays with
incredibly fast tackling attacks, making it dangerous both in melee and at
a range.
There are many mysteries about the ecology of the Buckbaird, and it is
thought that they are the creation of some mad wizard during the
Durandal period. However, their origin is unknown, their diet is
unknown, even their thoughts and possible breeding habits are an
absolute mystery. What little is known is they enjoy the spaces in
underground labyrinths.

wickedly curled talons. Their mouth is also filled with razor-sharp fangs,
perfect for tearing flesh from bone. They are constantly on the lookout
for humanoids, to breed future generations, eating them afterwards.
Despite their beautiful voice and appearance, Harpies are brutal, evil
beings. They hate the presence of similar-looking creatures (such as the

and magic to tear them apart.

magical, in nature, and this cannot be detected with "Sense Magic".
A mythical beast with the upper half of a human child and the lower half
of a forest animal, Pookas are naturally friendly, mischievous creatures
that dwell in forests and help the local animals. While there is no custom
to dress up, it is unlikely to see a Pooka in their natural form, as they will
tend to transform into animals in order to hide from forest intruders.
However, their mischievous nature shows through even while

Frost Wyverns are similar in appearance to dragons and are often

Unicorns are elegant creatures, horses with long, iridescent spiraling

[Flight]
A Chimera receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee attacks) and
A Chimera is fearsome in appearance, with the heads of a lion, goat and
dragon, the body of a snake used for a tail, and the wings of a massive
bat on its back. Their origin is unclear, but it can only be assumed that a
crazed wizard from the Durandal period came up with this beast as part
of some deranged experiment.
With multiple heads comes incredible intelligence, and Chimeras excel
in cunning strategy. They are also quite cruel and will offer hope to their
opponents only to snatch it away at the last second. Chimeras also tend
to have Undead and Constructs under their control, and will have each
head sleep at different times, making them incredibly difficult opponents
to take advantage of. However, Chimeras tend to be overconfident, and
it is said that this hubris may be their downfall.

instead receive a -2 penalty to Evasion, turning to stone when either
reaches -6.
Resembling a giant chicken with the legs and tail of a lizard, a Cockatrice
is a dangerous beast, able to petrify anyone with its beak. Standing taller
than most humanoids, Cockatrices are often hostile to anyone they
perceive as threatening them or their nest. However, they absolutely hate
Basilisks with every fiber of their being and will break off combat with
others in order to attack one on sight.

"Draconet" is a name used for dragons 100 years or younger, and a
Draconet's attitude reflects its immaturity. Often angry, they will destroy
their environment until they either run out of energy or have leveled their
388
surroundings. However, it is possible to communicate with a Draconet
when they are in a good mood.
As with older dragons, Draconets tend to hoard things with a significant
amount of stored mana, including magical items, Sword Shards, and even
whole Swords of Defense. They are loathe to give up any of their hoard
but may be convinced if there is appropriate replacements for the items
to be taken. While the most common Draconets breathe fire, there are
subspecies that can exhale ice, lightning, or poison as well.

390
A young dragon, less than 500 years, yet older than a Draconet. Even
though it is still relatively young for a Dragon, Lesser Dragons tend to be
around 10m long, and so any sort of melee attacks on the head are nigh
impossible. Able to spit flames and cast spells while flying over the
battlefield, a Lesser Dragon's offensive power is second to none. Because
of this, Lesser Dragons tend to be very self-centered and overconfident,
looking down on all those they consider "lesser creatures".
Lesser Dragons look to hoard treasure and valuables, just like any other
dragon. Any brave adventurer (or adventuring party) that is able to kill a
Lesser Dragon will not only earn the title "Dragon Slayer” but will have
access to the vast hoard that the dragon had acquired. Additionally, very
rarely do dragons have Dragon Eggs inside their bodies, which are
incredibly valued on their own due to use in a number of magical
experiments.

An Undine can breathe and vocalize while underwater and does not
suffer any penalties for moving while underwater.
When the Undine is hit by Fire-type damage, it takes an extra 3 damage.
Water fairies that have become stronger with time and mana, Undines
appear as beautiful humanoid women (often humans and elves). Often
seen in larger bodies of water, they have also been sighted in rivers, and
are very curious about travelers on the water. However, their curiosity
may occasionally be dangerous, as Undines tend not to know that other
races can drown in water.
They greatly dislike ugly people on the water, and try to deliberately sink
their vessels, so they can't be seen on the water. However, an even more
hated enemy are those who would pollute water sources. These people
the Undines actively and aggressively try to drown, in order to protect
themselves and their habitat.
In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Fairy Tamer class, they
automatically know the lore and value of the Undine. A Monster

Valbravers stands about 4m tall, though its head is sunken into its
oversized chest muscles and its right arm is abnormally enlarged. The
left arm is much longer and slender, though 4 or 5 are growing from the
same shoulder. While a Valbravers can use magic, its intelligence isn't
the greatest, and so there's not a whole lot of power behind its spells.
Often, a Valbravers is called by a much more powerful daemon or are
used to guard labyrinths. Able to regenerate at an incredible rate, they
make good guardians as they can deter most intruders. It's said that an
arm that is removed from a Valbravers will continue to move on its own

A humanoid daemon with bronze skin and a height of about 3m,
Grunels have long tails that they treat like whips. Some individuals may
have magic weapons as well (increasing both Accuracy and damage by
+1), and with their aptitude with magic, it is assumed that the Grunel
handmade this weapon. If the Grunel does use a magical weapon,
assume it is included in the loot as well.
Oddly enough, Grunels have been seen in the company of Grassrunners.
It is not quite sure what the relationship between the two races is, and
neither side is willing to talk about it. However, this has led to the rumor

Bandit Archers tend to stay behind the front lines, taking aim at those on
the battlefield. As befitting cowardly bandits, their targets will tend to be
who they perceive as the weakest in the group. This data may also be

The leader of a group of bandits, a Bandit Chief is always followed by a
group of 3-5 other bandit followers and may have a spellcaster or two in
the group as well. They will stand on the front lines and fight, though if
the tides turn, they may try to run and live to fight another day.
409
Monster Variants
Monsters, much like PCs and NPCs, can strengthen

themselves by holding high-ranking weapons and shields, or
even magical variants thereof.
Switching Equipment
For monsters equipped with weapons, it's possible to change

the Accuracy and damage of a weapon by changing the specific
weapon being held. Some abilities may also be changed in this
manner, as they would end up using the weapons being held.
Numerical Changes based on Weapon Type

Adding or Changing Special Abilities
As a GM, you are free to give monsters special abilities they

did not have before, as well as replacing existing abilities with
others. These could be custom abilities created out of whole
cloth, or they could be abilities that already exist, pulled from
another monster.
If the new special ability has references to Resistances,
determine the value by using the following tables. Multiple
different effect elements should be averaged out, if only to
make the final determination a little easier on the GM.

※1: [ML] in the table refers to the Level of the Monster with the special
ability.
※2: When using fixed values, add "7" to the reference value.
411
For example, let's say you wish to give a Sahagin the "Poison
Claw" ability of a Wight. "Poison Claw" is an ability that "is
negated if resisted", "damages a single target", and "has an effect
outside a Major Action" (as it causes damage in addition to the
normal attack's damage). Thus, for the 2nd Level Sahagin,
"Poison Claw" would have a Standard Value of 3 (10).
Altering the type of damage special ability does, or altering the
damage type a monster is weak to, is possible, but must be
done with care to not unbalance a monster's power.
Humanoid Monsters
Humanoid monsters are written using Humans as the baseline

but can be changed to any humanoid race. One of the key
differences is the different racial traits available. Humans are
given [Sword's Salvation/Change Fate], so if a humanoid
monster is changed to a different race, change the racial trait
appropriately.
Humans
Stat
None
Changes
[Sword's Salvation/Change Fate]: Once per day on any
Skill Check, Damage Calculation, or Loot Determination,
Racial

[3] becomes [4].

Changes HP -5
Racial [Child of Magic]: If a Spellcasting check is automatically
Traits successful (i.e., the roll is double 6's), no MP is spent.
Changing a Monster's Strength
In order to strengthen a monster (increasing its level) or

weaken a monster (decreasing its level), there are a lot of
numbers that need to be changed.
When changing a monster's level, it is recommended that any
change only be by a single level either way (i.e., either the
monster's level +1 or the monster's level -1). Larger changes
are much harder to keep balanced, and players may have false
expectations due to the appearance of the monster, but that's
not to say that such changes absolutely cannot happen.
414
Strengthening Monsters
A monster may be strengthened in a number of ways, such as
"training under a powerful master", "obtaining special occult
knowledge", or even "is a mutant". When strengthening a
monster, the following monster statistics are increased by +1:
Reputation/Weakness (Rep/Weak), Initiative, Fortitude,
Willpower, Accuracy, Evasion, Magic Power (if any), Standard
Values of Special Abilities (if any).
Once those are increased, then the GM may choose to
increase either the monster's HP by +2 or increase both the
HP and Defense by +1. This is in addition to the extra +5 HP
and +2 MP the monster receives from increasing by a level.
Other statistics, such as Movement Speed and Weak Points,
remain unchanged.
Special Equipment
As mentioned above, monsters may have different equipment
from what their stat block shows. While changing a monster's
weapons and equipment doesn't increase their level, increasing
a monster's level does mean they are more likely to have
stronger weapons and equipment to bring to bear in combat.
Weakening Monsters
Monsters may also be weakened, decreasing their level and
overall power. Such reasons for this occurring could be "child
of the species", "already injured", "detrimental mutations", or "is
unfinished (for Constructs)". When weakening a monster, all
of the statistics listed in "Strengthening Monsters" are instead
decreased by the same number. A number cannot be less than
0, and Standard Values always have 7 added to them.
415
Changing Abilities and HP Reduction
It's possible to weaken monsters by taking away any beneficial
special abilities they may have. Additionally, detrimental
abilities can be added in order to weaken a monster. Even
halving a monster's HP (rounded up) without changing other
numbers is enough to weaken a monster. Depending upon the
monster, these changes may have different effects, so they
should be carefully balanced for each monster.
