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)

What if you could defeat evil - but only at the cost of your sanity?

"A slick and well-paced dark fantasy novella..."

More about "Defeat"

Somewhere in Arvelas: Troshar

The region of Troshar is now mostly deserted and abandoned, covered in thick green jungles and foliage. Many believe it hides treasures of incredible richness in the forgotten ziggurats, now mostly buried under trees and vegetation. The region has high green peaks and is constantly being drenched in heavy rainfalls.

Legends tell that Troshar was the location where the last battle of the historical war known as The Ravages took place. Here is where the dark god, Xemus, would have faced and been defeated by the Five Gods of Mylrana.

Regroups dragons and dragonkins.

Although elusive and rarely seen, dragons are probably one of the best known of the Ancients of Arvelas. They are creatures of incredible power and size, and directly linked to the world and one of its raw forces (element, metal, or other). Each dragon is unique.

Map: Gothis

Gothis is a place that is often believed to be more a myth than a reality.

Made of high mountains and columns, Gothis is almost unreachable by land. This is the realm of sky and clouds, floating towers, inhabited by winged elves, griffins, fynx and pegasi. Elder elves are said to migrate to Gothis, where they will live their last days.
