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)

Ancient pyramids and ziggurats and other ruins are scattered throughout the region, often covered in sand. Sable is a natural barrier before reaching the Iron Gate and the prison of the beast Urah.

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 ...
