The Adventurers' Guildof the Realm of Adventura

The Guild keeps no banner of its own. We register those willing to walk into the four zones and we send them where they are needed. Whatever you came to find — coin, kin, or a cause — it begins with your name in the ledger.

The Foraysha Freedom Fighters

The Guild stays neutral; its members need not. The Foraysha resistance is recruiting any people willing to stand against the collar.

The Bestiary

15 companions logged by the Beast Tamers' guild, sorted by the damage die their Powers are built around (d4 to d12) — each with size, speed, vision and signature trait. Any tier fits any level, given the right background.

The Throne of Completion

The Sabi-Thra Empire's own register — the Zir, their Empressor, and the culture of "completion" the Guild's outcast adventurers escaped.

Before the ledger — the making of the realm

Five Dragons, one experiment

Adventura was no ordinary world. Five Elemental Dragons had made countless realms, each weighted toward one element. Adventura was the experiment Magic had always wanted: all five pouring their full power into a single creation at once.

Air

Realms of great heights, where flying species rise.

Earth

Rocky, mineral-rich and harsh — only tough things endure.

Fire

Chaotic energy and scorched waste; little lives unaided.

Water

Worlds beneath the surface, teeming with deep-dwellers.

Magic

The fantastical realms — and the one who proposed Adventura.

The five gave everything at once, and the backlash left them at once empty and overfull of one another's power. The Dragons withdrew into Adventura's core to regenerate — and sleep there still. Faith is said to speed their healing, which may be why so many are born with the Elementalist gift. Later, Geomancers and Arcane Scientists arrived through a gate focused into a 7,777-sided shape; the Geomancers made the Lorcaun and raised temples on the leylines, and the Scientists made the Zir as their final work.

The Guild's territories

Four zones, one ledger

Adventurers post out to any of the four zones. Each is its own country with its own peoples, powers and trouble.

Foraysha

The Free Highlands

Green highlands laced with more overlapping leylines than any other zone — which is why the Geomancers focused their work here. Home of the resistance the Foraysha Freedom Fighters are named for, and the original home thought to hold all Lorcaun.

‹‹ Illustration Request ››

Leyline-lit highlands at dusk, the Vol'Arae float-city of Ayer drifting above the canopy — climbing Lorcaun ecotypes and free human tribes small against the scale of it below.

optional — composition and medium at the illustrator's discretion

Huraoken

The Occupied Reach

Ruled by the Oni on the backs of the enslaved. The Oni and the tiny tool-using Umeki were already here before the Lorcaun were created; humans appeared here later. A hard zone, and the one the resistance most wants to free.

‹‹ Illustration Request ››

An Oni crown silhouette over a labor line at dusk — a hidden Kitsune watching, unnoticed, from the crowd. The collar, not the throne, should be what the eye finds first.

optional — composition and medium at the illustrator's discretion

Ryn'Quay

The Wilds

Untamed country where Lorcaun ecotypes adapt to a harsher land alongside the Shalishad, Vydyen, Yoz-Ved, and the disciplined human clans who call it home. Survival here is its own discipline.

‹‹ Illustration Request ››

Open plains at full sprint — a Shalishad blurred with speed, a Vydyen watching the horizon three moves ahead, a human clan's drill formation small in the distance. No collar in the frame.

optional — composition and medium at the illustrator's discretion

Sabi-Thra

The Crucible

The harsh southern reach the Arcane Scientists made their own — origin of the Suneki and Shalinaum, and the seat of the Zir, who hold the last functioning Research Laboratory and build their capital here.

‹‹ Illustration Request ››

The Zir capital's spires rising from harsh terrain, the Research Laboratory unmistakable at its heart — a Suneki surfacing from the sand in the foreground, small against the empire behind it.

optional — composition and medium at the illustrator's discretion

The divide that shapes the realm

Balance against supremacy

Two visions pull at Adventura. The Guild takes no side — but every adventurer will feel the weight of both.

The Lorcaun

Keepers of the balance

The most diverse and widespread people of the realm, made by the Geomancers and spread to every zone. Each ecotype adapts to its biome, but all share one conviction: that harmony can exist between every species — though they are not naïve about the urge to expand.

"Maintain the balance of the natural world."

versus

The Zir

The self-made supremacy

The Arcane Scientists' final creation, certain they are the realm's pinnacle. They hold the last working Research Laboratory and breed gobblies and monsters in pursuit of a higher percentage of completion — a legacy relic scans every Zir before adolescence and ranks them by it. The current ruler, the Evil Empressor Elyk the Draconian, boasts the highest ever recorded: 97%. Player Zir are escaped outcasts from the bottom of that ranking.

"Once we are complete, our supremacy will be known across all the Zones."

How the realm is played

The d20 at the heart of it

Adventura Realms runs on one clean spine. Learn these four ideas and you can sit at any table.

The Roll

Attribute Modifier + Rank + Combat Level + d20, measured against a Target Number. One mechanic for nearly everything.

Two kinds of power

Constants are always on. Expendables cost a use — the bigger the effect, the more limited the uses.

Three defences

Dodge, Resolve and Toughness. Every attack tests one of them, so no single stat keeps you safe.

Tiered growth

Species and disciplines unlock powers at set tiers as your Combat Level climbs — your sheet tracks it for you.

ATT Mod + Rank + CL + d20 vs. Target Number
