Welcome to Arvelas

Arvelas is an imagined world shaped by stories, games, and the people willing to walk its roads. For more than thirty-five years, players have taken on the roles of wanderers, schemers, survivors, and heroes. Through their choices, Arvelas has grown, shifted, and in some cases remembered them as legends.

This is a world built through collaboration and friendship. Its lore, rules, and traditions draw inspiration from many games and stories, but are ultimately shaped by the players at the table and the adventures they undertake.

If you dare, pack your traveling bag and begin your journey. You can explore Arvelas by browsing this site, discovering its rules, or reading stories set within the world.

"Remember it's a collaboration art, and everyone at the table is working together to have a good time and make some memories."
-B. Dave Walters (Dungeon Master)

The Phoenix is the universal symbol of good, although its nature is hard to determine. It was mostly unknown until the Wars of the Dead, where it appeared and protected Tlefyr Darioh and Askia Zaporavo during the fall of Kingstown.

Ancient manuscripts tell that it played another important role during the Ravages, the final battle between the dragons and the hydras which caused the end of the third era.

The Phoenix is formed from an amalgam of the strongest and most powerful forces of light and good. It most often appears under the guise of flashes of light, which sometimes takes the ...
