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.

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.
