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)

Somewhere in Arvelas: 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.

Glimpse: Fire Elemental

Art © Unknown.

The element of fire is often associated with rage and unpredictability. Being so, the elemental of fire is often aggressive, and prone to attack and burn. It has a vague humanoid form, with long thin arms and fingers, and an elongated snout resembling a beak. It moves along the ground although it can jump at impressive heights and distances. Because of its temper, the fire elemental is not often used as a guardian.

Like most elementals, smaller version can merge to create a larger version of themselves.

The middle region, known as the Heart of Istagon, is abandoned and haunted by walking deads. Many dream of the day when King's Town is liberated and Istagon is ...
