Eryndor is a fractured world born from ancient cataclysm. Millennia ago, the gods waged war across the heavens, and their fury tore the land into floating continents, vast chasms, and elemental wastelands. What remains is a realm of scattered kingdoms, drifting sky-isles, cursed ruins, and uncharted wilds stitched together by airships, old magic, and dangerous ambition.

Magic seeps through the world’s core like lifeblood, concentrated in Ley Rifts—unstable tears in reality that power spells, corrupt beasts, and draw the brave or foolish. Elven enclaves reside in skyforests suspended in the air, their cities grown from living wood and starlight. Human nations war over dwindling fertile ground and relics of the Old Empire. Dwarves mine deep beneath mountain-crags, forging runic weapons in magma-lit forges. Ogres, once enslaved as war-beasts, now roam the Wyrdlands in tribal bands or settle as mercenaries.

Guilds, cults, and royal houses vie for ancient artifacts that might mend or further shatter the realm. The Order of the Black Flame seeks to control magic itself. The Free Blades, a guild of adventurers-for-hire, take contracts for gold, glory, or vengeance. Whispers spread of a dark star rising—an ancient evil stirring once more, threatening to reunite the shattered realms in death and shadow.

Your party begins as unknowns in this unstable world—outsiders and outcasts drawn together by fate. Each carries secrets, debts, or dreams. Together, you’ll carve your legend across Eryndor’s broken lands. Will you become its saviors… or just another forgotten tale?

In the fractured world of Eryndor, adventuring isn’t just a calling—it’s a profession. With kingdoms stretched thin, wildlands expanding, and ancient ruins constantly emerging, the world needs brave (or desperate) souls to face its threats. That’s where adventurers come in.
Most legitimate adventurers are registered with a Guild—the most prominent being The Free Blades, a sprawling, semi-independent network of adventurers across Eryndor. Every city, large town, and some frontier forts have a Free Blades Hall where adventurers can:

How Jobs Work
Jobs are posted by clients ranging from farmers to nobles, and each is assigned a rank level based on danger and complexity:

E-Rank (starter): Goblin infestations, escorting caravans, retrieving lost items.

D-Rank: Bandit patrols, beast hunts, guarding minor officials.

C to A-Rank: Dungeon delving, cursed relic recovery, political sabotage.

S-Rank: Legendary missions involving world-scale threats.

Jobs can be taken solo or in parties. Each completed mission earns gold, reputation, and possibly favors or rare loot.

STATUS – Your Rank in the Adventurers’ Hierarchy
Status is your official Guild Rank (E to SS), which determines:

The jobs you can accept

Your legal authority (e.g., can you carry rare weapons, speak to nobility)

How civilians, clients, and officials treat you

Your pay and Guild privileges

How to Increase Status:

Complete missions consistently and professionally

Succeed in Guild Rank Tests

Avoid failures, scandals, or illegal acts (which can drop your status or suspend you)

Handle high-risk missions and show team coordination.
REPUTATION – How the World Sees You
Unlike status, reputation is unofficial but influential, and it's tracked in several ways:

Local Reputation: In specific towns or regions (e.g., "Well-liked in Graystead for saving a village").

Global Reputation: Known across kingdoms and guild halls (e.g., "Famous dragon slayers").

Reputation Depends On:

Mission outcomes: Did you complete the job fully? Was there collateral damage? Did you save lives?

Behavior: Are you honorable? Ruthless? Chaotic but effective? A known drunk or hero?

Style: Some parties gain fame for their unique flair—stealth, overwhelming power, or cleverness.

Rumors & Witnesses: Survivors, bards, and records shape your image. Sometimes, you can be framed—or glorified—by what others say.

High reputation can unlock:

Bonus pay or rare contracts

Noble patronage or free passage

Fan followings, rumors, and even imitators

Bad reputation can:

Scare off clients

Draw attention from bounty hunters or rival guilds

Result in higher mission scrutiny.
POWER – Your Personal & Group Growth
Power is a mix of personal strength, gear, magic, and teamwork. It grows based on:

Combat Experience: You get stronger through fights—physical skills, magical attunement, tactical thinking.

Magic Exposure: Proximity to ley rifts, ancient relics, or magical beasts may awaken talents.

Training & Mentors: High-rank adventurers or special trainers can unlock classes or skills.

Sylvas Thornveil (Elf Ranger / Nature Mage)
Likes: Moonlight walks, ancient poetry, quiet forests, rare herbs.

Dislikes: Loud noises, metal tools, ogres (secret prejudice).

Habits: Meditates before battle, speaks to his bow like a person.

Fears: Fire (due to a forest fire in his youth), aging unnaturally.

Desires: To uncover lost elven lore and prove his bloodline was noble.

Quirks: Sleeps in trees even in towns, won't eat bread.

Facts: Former apprentice of a druid who vanished into a Ley Rift.

Secret: Carries a cursed seed that whispers to him in his dreams.
Born in the skyforest citadel of Thal’veren, Sylvas was groomed as a druidic archer to protect elven borders. When his mentor vanished near a ley rift, Sylvas defied his elders and left the glades to find the truth. Seen as a traitor by some and a free spirit by others, he now roams the fractured lands, seeking ancient secrets and redemption for his bloodline’s fall from grace.

Garran Holt (Human Sellsword / Fire Fighter)
Likes: Gambling, spicy food, sparring, underdog stories.

Dislikes: Bullies, nobility, fish.

Habits: Flips a coin before making risky decisions.

Fears: Drowning—he never learned to swim.

Desires: To save enough gold to buy his late parents' land back.

Quirks: Names all his swords and talks to them when drunk.

Facts: Former town guard turned mercenary after his captain betrayed him.

Secret: He’s secretly illiterate—fakes reading maps and letters.
Once a town guard in the human capital, Garran uncovered corruption in the local militia—only to be framed for theft and dishonorably discharged. Left with nothing, he turned to mercenary work. His loyalty is now hard-earned, but unbreakable once given. He fights for gold, pride, and the hope of reclaiming his family’s land lost to debt and betrayal.

Mogrum "Mog" Skullbiter (Ogre Bruiser / Beastmaster)
Likes: Cooking, animals, warm caves, soft music.

Dislikes: Chains, being misunderstood, magic that alters minds.

Habits: Collects bones of fallen enemies to carve into charms.

Fears: Being turned into a monster like his kin once were.

Desires: To open a tavern called “Mog’s Belly” when he retires.

Quirks: Sings lullabies to his enemies before knocking them out.

Facts: Was once enslaved by a warlock; broke his own chains.

Secret: He understands more languages than he admits—including Elvish.
Raised in chains by a dark warlock, Mog was forced to fight in blood pits until he broke free, killing his master. Though feared for his size, Mog is gentle at heart, with a deep bond to beasts and a love for cooking. Haunted by what he was made to do, he now seeks peace through strength—and a second chance as more than a monster.

Brokk Emberforge (Dwarf Runecrafter / Axemaster)
Likes: Lava forges, old war songs, ale, craftsmanship.

Dislikes: Goblins (on sight), elves (grudgingly), weak steel.

Habits: Polishes his axe obsessively while muttering to it.

Fears: Being useless—he was the weakest of his warrior clan.

Desires: To craft a living weapon worthy of Dwarf-king legends.

Quirks: Speaks to his beard when thinking, and trusts its “wisdom.”

Facts: Once beat a minotaur in a drinking contest… and can’t remember how.

Secret: He’s forging a secret rune that could undo magic itself—illegal and dangerous.
The youngest of a famed dwarven forge-line, Brokk was mocked for his clumsy beginnings and weak rune magic. Refusing to accept disgrace, he left his mountain home to master forbidden runes and forge a weapon worthy of legend. Driven by a fierce pride, he fights to carve his name into the stone of history—and prove even flawed steel can shine.

In Eryndor, the shattered world teems with creatures both wondrous and deadly. What you encounter depends heavily on the region, leyline activity, job rank, and world events. Monsters aren't just background threats—they shape trade routes, settlements, and history.
Common Creatures (E–D Rank Jobs)
These creatures are widespread and often tied to nature or leftover magical residue:

Gorebeasts: Massive boars with stone-like hides, often raid farmland.

Grimwings: Nocturnal, batlike predators with echolocation magic.

Sludge Wyrms: Semi-intelligent, toxic burrowers near swamps and ruins.

Goblin Variants: Cave-dwellers or bandits, sometimes mutated near ley rifts.
Corrupted & Undead
Regions near unstable ley rifts or cursed ruins spawn warped beings:

Hollowborn: Spirits trapped in armor, reliving their deaths.

Leymutants: Twisted animals or even people, warped by raw magic.

Bonecallers: Necromantic casters who raise fleshless horrors.

Whispersworn: Undead cultists who chant ancient languages that harm the mind.
Magical Beasts & Elementals (C–A Rank)
Found in ancient ruins, ley-nexus zones, or deep wilds:

Sky Serpents: Flying dragons of cloud and wind, worshipped in highlands.

Ashmanes: Flame-elemental lions that prowl volcanic plains.

Stonewardens: Golem-like constructs guarding forgotten temples.

Mirrormaw: Beasts that copy a party’s skills after watching them.
Intelligent Monster Factions
These beings may negotiate, ally, or fight:

Darkspawn Tribes: Goblinoids with ancient relics, forming empires underground.

The Hollow Court: Feylords and twisted spirits who test mortals in cruel games.

Wyrmkin: Dragon-blooded beasts building their own nation in the Shatter Peaks.

Harrow Fiends: Demons bound underworld gates—growing stronger with fear.

Legendary Threats (S–SS Rank)
Rare, reality-warping creatures:

The Rift Howler: A beast from another dimension, leaks madness.

Dread Leviathans: Titanic beasts sleeping in sky-isles, waking in storms.

Eclipsed Titans: Remnants of fallen gods, bound in stone, half-alive.
Creature encounters depend on:

Location (forests = beasts; ruins = undead; sky-isles = flying threats)

Time/weather (some spawn only during blood moons, storms, or eclipses)

Quest type and party rank

Random leyline surges that warp the area temporarily.
Being an adventurer in Eryndor is not a job—it’s a life shaped by danger, grit, and the unknown. It means walking paths others fear to tread, facing beasts that could crush armies, and delving into ruins where reality bends and ancient curses whisper. It’s a calling for those with nothing left to lose—or everything to prove.

Adventurers take contracts from guild halls, nobles, or desperate villagers. Tasks range from guarding merchant caravans to slaying ley-twisted horrors or retrieving relics from sunken temples. Every mission is a test of skill, courage, and teamwork. Failure can mean death—or worse, corruption by the forces that twist Eryndor’s very magic.

Yet adventuring is more than violence. It means travel through strange lands, forming bonds under fire, and learning secrets buried beneath centuries of ruin. It means sleeping under shattered skies, gambling hard-earned coin, and toasting victories in smoky inns. Adventurers are protectors, rogues, explorers, and sometimes heroes—or villains—shaped by the choices they make.

Every rising rank brings new risks and rewards. The fame, gold, and power draw many, but only the few endure. For in Eryndor, to be an adventurer is to walk a knife's edge between legend and oblivion.

In the fractured world of Eryndor, shops are lifelines for adventurers. From bustling market squares in walled cities to hidden vendors deep in the wilds, each location offers unique wares. What you can buy—and from whom—depends on region, reputation, and Guild rank.

Possible events:
Raid on a Town or Settlement
Description: A neighboring faction or bandit group launches a surprise attack on a town. Villagers are captured, buildings burned, and precious relics taken. The party is tasked with defending the settlement or tracking down the raiders.

Consequences: If successful, the town may reward you with fame, gold, or rare artifacts. If you fail, it can lead to a heavy loss of reputation, enemy retaliation, or the town’s destruction.

Twist: A local noble or guild leader might be secretly involved in the raid, using it as a cover for a darker purpose.
Leyline Surge or Wild Magic Storm
Description: A Leyline—an invisible flow of raw magical energy—suddenly erupts, distorting reality in a specific region. Storms of wild magic surge, causing unpredictable weather, distortions in time, or reality itself twisting. Monsters mutate or become more dangerous.

Consequences: Adventurers who are exposed may gain new, strange powers but at a risk of corruption. Entire regions could become uninhabitable or transform into magical wastelands.

Twist: A rare artifact may be found at the center of the disturbance, but it could also be a trap laid by a rival guild or demon seeking to exploit the chaos.
Plague or Curse Outbreak
Description: A strange disease or curse spreads rapidly through a town, village, or even a region. The afflicted fall into comas or turn violent, and fear sweeps across the land. The adventurers are called to uncover the source of the plague—whether it’s natural, magical, or intentional.

Consequences: Success leads to a healing potion or a rare curse-breaking relic, as well as good will from the survivors. Failure or misdiagnosis could cause the plague to spread to nearby cities, or even wipe out the settlement entirely.

Twist: The plague could be a divine punishment or the result of a mad alchemist experimenting with forbidden magic. There may be a mysterious figure who wishes for the plague to continue.

Specialty & Hidden Vendors
Thieves’ Markets: Lockpicks, forbidden magic, poisons, fake IDs

Nomadic Traders: Appear near leyline events, sell relics or cursed items

Beastfolk Camps: Sell strange gear, spirit totems, or living weapons

Ruinscavenger Hubs: Rare loot from ancient sites, priced high
Currency & Trade
Gold Crowns, Silver Moons, Copper Sails—standard currency

Barter is common in wild regions or among ogres, beastkin, and fey

Some items require favors, relics, or tasks instead of coin.

Possible events:
Celestial Phenomenon or Starfall
Description: A rare celestial event—such as an eclipse, falling star, or the arrival of a comet—occurs. Superstitious folk believe it to be a sign of good fortune or doom. It’s rumored that ancient creatures, like Starborn Beasts, wake during such events, or hidden temples rise from the earth.

Consequences: The party may discover an ancient temple or fey gateway, or they may face the wrath of a powerful celestial guardian tasked with protecting sacred sites. Local societies might interpret the event in wildly different ways.

Twist: The falling star could be a ship from another realm or a demon’s egg seeking to hatch. Some factions may attempt to harness the star’s power, causing conflicts.
Heroic Betrayal or Rival Adventuring Party
Description: A rival adventurer group—famed for their accomplishments—appears in the region. Initially cordial, they soon prove to have a hidden agenda, seeking to undermine or outperform your team. They might even steal a contract or sabotage your efforts to gain favor from a wealthy patron.

Consequences: A rivalry can lead to fierce competition, even direct combat. This could also bring you renown if you defeat them or rewards if you cooperate in a shared mission. Losing to them, however, may damage your reputation or cause you to be seen as a failure.

Twist: One member of the rival group may secretly be your ally or an old acquaintance, hiding their identity for personal reasons.
Awakening of an Ancient Evil
Description: A long-forgotten evil stirs beneath the earth, a long-dead god, or a cursed artifact hidden in ruins resurfaces. A necromancer cult or shadowy cabal might attempt to free this entity, or it might rise of its own accord to destroy everything in its path.

Consequences: The party must rally forces to stop the threat, battling both monsters and human traitors. Success could save the world but lead to an increased focus on your group by the ruling powers, or divine.

Possibile events:
Political Intrigue & Deception
Description: In cities with noble courts, adventurers are often drawn into political intrigue—escorting high-ranking figures, investigating assassination attempts, or uncovering espionage plots. A seemingly simple contract to protect a noble may escalate into a battle for the throne.

Consequences: The outcome may shape kingdoms, creating enemies or gaining powerful alliances. It could also ruin your reputation if you’re seen as pawns or if you fail the mission.

Twist: The noble you protect might be using you as a scapegoat or a pawn in a larger scheme, while rival nobles may hire you to uncover the truth about a mysterious royal death.
Cataclysmic Environmental Event
Description: An unexpected environmental disaster occurs: earthquakes, floods, wildfires, or even a tornado of arcane energy. Entire regions are rendered uninhabitable, and the party must either survive, aid refugees, or uncover the cause.

Consequences: The team may gain fame for saving communities, or they might be scorned if they fail to help in time. The rift zones could spread magic sickness or cause magical creatures to act unpredictably.

Twist: The disaster could be caused by a rival faction, a spirit’s wrath, or even an ancient dragon’s awakening, creating dangerous new alliances and rivalries.
