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.

Read their recordBefore the ledger — the making of the realm
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 would conjure realms with great heights and many flying species would evolve.”
“Earth would make realms of rocky composition and great mineral wealth but harsh conditions allowing only tough species to evolve.”
“Fire would create realms of chaotic energy and great barren wastes scorched by several suns, very few species evolve on these without magical aid.”
“Water manifests itself in the expected way with realms mostly underwater with hosts of different underwater species evolving.”
“Magic took the lead to craft some of the more fantastical realms, each with a myriad of species evolving.”
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, the Geomancers arrived by focusing their spells into a 7,777-sided shape, and the Arcane Scientists through a gate system of their own; 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
Adventurers post out to any of the four zones. Each is its own country with its own peoples, powers and trouble.
The land of every forest
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.
The land of mountain ranges, wide plains and numerous waterways
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.
A zone of chilly extremes
Untamed country where Lorcaun ecotypes adapt to a harsher land alongside the Shalishad, Vydyen and Yoz-Ved. The Republic of Humans has taken the northern coast, having moved south out of Mia'Reac — the homeland the Sundering split from Ryn'Quay — once they had stripped it bare. Survival here is its own discipline.
The land of sand, stone and massive coconut trees
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.
The census
Fifteen registered peoples walk the realm. Filter by home zone; every entry shows what the Guild records — size, stride, sight, and the gift that marks them. Full rules live on the character sheet.
One people, many faces
The Lorcaun census entry covers the people as a whole — but nine distinct ecotypes have adapted to nine different corners of the realm, each carrying its home zone in its shape.
Sturdy builds, thick fur. Bears, gorillas, mountain animals. Somber and stern. Northern mountainous forests.
Bark/leaf patterned skin. Browns to autumnal golds. Artistic and intellectual. Central deciduous forests.
Deep blue/green scales, ridge crests, slender tails. Aqua farmers of crustaceans and kelp. Easy going. West coastal estuaries.
Antlers, horns, fangs or tusks. Short dense brown/red fur. Assertive and direct. Dense forest underbrush.
Brightly feathered, bird/raptor features. Fun loving and whimsical. Southern tropical jungles.
Grey/white fur, fang-filled mouths. Arctic foxes, leopards, polar bears, wolves. Territorial. Land Speed 9 sq. Hate the Republic of Humans.
Black and white oily feathers, penguin/puffin-like. Many enslaved by Republic of Humans. Swim 5 sq. Northern coast.
Nimble predatory cats, glowing eyes, long tails. Expert smiths and jewel crafters. Climb 5 sq. Rocky western Sabi-Thra.
Thick feathers, scaly legs, Flamingo/Moa-like. Many enslaved by the Zir. Land Speed 9 sq. Eastern Sabi-Thra estuaries.
Twenty-five disciplines · five archetypes
Every adventurer follows a discipline. They sort into five archetypes — pick the one that fits how you mean to meet the world.

Masters of light manipulation and silent spellcasting.
The most spiritual of the Arcane classes, forging a bond with a summoned spirit.

“Drawing power from the eternal spiritual forces of Adventura, classes within the Divine Archetype use their devotion and faith as a tool to call upon their magic.”

The burliest of Ranged classes, Throwers' name is truly literal.
The divide that shapes the realm
Two visions pull at Adventura. The Guild takes no side — but every adventurer will feel the weight of both.
Keepers of the balance
The most diverse and widespread people of the realm, made by the Geomancers and spread throughout Adventura. 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."
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 fully complete our supremacy will be known across all of the Realms of Adventura."
How the realm is played
Adventura Realms runs on one clean spine. Learn these four ideas and you can sit at any table.
Attribute Modifier + Rank + Class Level + d20, measured against a Target Number. One mechanic for nearly everything.
Constants are always on. Expendables cost a use — the bigger the effect, the more limited the uses.
Dodge, Resolve and Toughness. Every attack tests one of them, so no single stat keeps you safe.
Species and disciplines unlock powers at set tiers as your character level climbs — your sheet tracks it for you.
ATT Mod + Rank + CL + d20 vs. Target Number
