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)

Surrender
by S.C. Eston

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

"A slick and well-paced dark fantasy novella..."
- Glen Christie, GlamAdelaide

"A dark, often gritty, fantasy novella with a strong, female protagonist to root for. Highly recommended!"
- The Wishing Shelf

Somewhere in Arvelas: Vaste

Located in the far north, Vaste is a realm of snow and eternal cold. Unlike Kryma, though, it is inhabited by many tribes and home to a wide array of animals and plants.

Ghosts are the lingering remnants of beings who cannot depart the world of the living. Most ghosts simply wander harmlessly, lost and confused, but some harbor a strong hate for anything living and will attack on sight.

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.
