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.

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.

Map: Erlinia

Autrefois une province d’'Istagon, Erlinia est le royaume des fameux Chevaliers de la foi. Ici, les humains sont formés en hommes d'’honneur et de paroles, défendeurs des plus démunis, serviteurs d'’Odin le sévère. Mais malgré leur honneur, le royaume est proie aux animosités entre sa noblesse et déchiré depuis que la main des Griffiths d'Istagon n’est plus là pour les tenir sur le droit chemin.
