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)

More about "The Conclave"

Somewhere in Arvelas: Kurtor

Kurtor is a fortress made of carved rock and natural mountains. It is a grand sight, one that leaves its visitors humbled by its imposing size and incredible craftsmanship. The western dwarves call it home, living in a maze that expands both underground and above ground, in between peaks and on high plateaus. Tyr is revered and a fifty foot statue stands at the heart of Kurtor in his honour.

Glimpse: Hydras

Regroups hydras and hydrakins. Hydras are powerful creatures with multiple heads and large wings. They are one of the Ancients, having prospered during the third age.

Although the hydras are the nemesis of dragons, both creatures have many similarities. Like the dragons, each hydra is unique and linked to a force of the world, be it an element, a metal or other.

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.
