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 magical energies in the region are also powerful. Akaria is also known because of its white crystal trees.

Glimpse: Dryad

Art © Unknown.

The dryad is a powerful spirit of the woods, intimately linked to trees and nature. It makes its home in oak trees and lives in secluded woodlands, preferring the company of plants, animals and trees to any other living things, including their own.

To rest and recuperate, a dryad blends into an oak to which it is permanently connected, sharing both nutrients and life. The link between a dryad and its tree is akin to a destinea tree, but much stronger. If the oak dies, the dryad also dies (and vice versa).

A dryad will do everything in its power to ...

Map: Doras

Doras est un royaume exotique, ou plutôt, les restes d''un vaste royaume exotique. Pendant les temps précédents l'Holocauste, Doras faisait partie du même continent que Karan et Hystar. Or, lorsque les dieux quittèrent Arvelas, après avoir amassé la magie runique, le sol du continent fut arraché et emporté vers les cieux. Les tremblements de terre forcèrent les océans à entourer le continent. Maintenant, Doras est au milieu des océans, se répondant sur plusieurs îles.
