PRELUDE I
PRELUDE I
HUMANS ARE
FRAIL THINGS...
...dust held together with blood and hope just long enough for a faint memory of
life before they crumble to the ground and blow away in the wind. Their bodies
fail them. Their minds break. And that small window in history that chronicles their
birth, life, and death closes just as quickly as it opened. Each mortal is a fragment
in the tapestry of human history, but such a small work of art they are when
compared to the cosmos at large.
Dying is no great tragedy. A life begins, then ends, but whether it is truly the end or
simply another beginning cannot be known. The real tragedy is suffered by those
living. Pain, loss, and the terrible knowledge of life’s finality—all of these threads
unravel and wear on the soul until someone takes their last breath.
So then there is no worse fate than to live forever; it is the truest form of
suffering to not only exist in a world with the flaws of humanity eternally on
display, but also to watch as the lifeblood ebbs, the hope fades, and everyone
else returns to dust. To bear witness to the body crumbling and the mind
shattering is cruelty unlike any other.
It is the burden of an immortal to endure, all while losing what makes them
human. This is the burden of Eredan. He is a man obsessed with the consequences
of death and one of the few who will never endure those same consequences.
This is his tale…

THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE

Skiffs and merchant ships hug the coastline as they trawl through the waters of the
realm. Out in the deep, storms batter any ship foolish enough to leave the safety of
shallow waters, so only those with adventure in their heart and reckless abandon
in their mind brave those waves and thunderclouds.

whim of the elements falls prey to creatures of the deep known as ship-breakers.
For those who choose to embrace the coastal lands, though, there is much to
discover in the salt-kissed islands and the bird-filled sky. It’s a place where the two
halves of nature collide, and the bridge between the realm of earth and the domain
of water is a unique one.

Exotic fish swim in shoals, vibrant life blooms underwater in the reefs, and the
wind-chapped faces of the townsfolk in these lands often crease into smiles as
they breathe the ocean air. Eredan would walk the shores and meditate in the days
before he disappeared. Others find that same peace now.

FOREST
FOREST
TREES OLDER THAN ANY

LIVING MORTAL STRETCH
HIGH
The canopy of trees older than any living mortal stretches high.
It casts shadows on the forest floor and creates a world of loamy darkness
under the ceiling of leaves that sways and breathes with the wind. Roots thresh
the ground and grow in thickness until any path through the woods is just a
maze of moss-covered limbs.
Few people live in the forest, and those that live near don’t venture too far into its
FOREST depths, lest it swallows them. Wander too far and stray from the short paths that
exist and all sense of direction fades away. The gloom surrounds those foolish
enough to do so. And eyes watch from a distance.
This is a place of eternal twilight. The woods are deep, and the will-o’-wisps wait to
lure travelers into a realm that’s never been tamed. Nature reminds any who visit
the forest what power endures after centuries. It is not the will of man that lasts
FOREST here; it is the way of the earth.
Even Eredan respected the forest. It was forbidden to cut down trees from there.
But he is gone now and his edicts are forgotten. So the boughs tense, the leaves
shudder, and the roots grasp. All stand ready to teach the lesson anew should
mortals believe they have dominion over this place.

CANYONS
CANYONS
THE CANYONS SCRATCH

DEEPER INTO THE CRUST
OF THE WORLD
The canyons were once a fertile river delta. The waters flooded the land and
offered the inhabitants bountiful crops and a lush home. But over decades,
the rivers burrowed deep into the earth, creating treacherous chasms where
there were once safe waterways. Flora and fauna of all kinds dried up above
while the life-giving water trickled down far below.
Towns above now lie abandoned while a network of caves, tunnels, and small
CANYONS settlements burrow into the rock to keep pace with the dwindling streams of water
at the bottom of the canyons. Parents tell their children stories of the “fingers of
Eredan” that transformed the land into a verdant paradise, but the dirt and dust
make it nothing more than a myth.
Rope bridges now crisscross the surface of the land like stitches on open wounds.
Travelers use them to traverse the dangerous territory while more adventurous
CANYONS types employ the services of chasm-jumpers to access the more remote regions.
People fear two things in the canyons--the streams drying up as the water
disappears and the earth cracking and all of the scars in the rock connecting
until it all collapses. They pray for Eredan. They hope for salvation.
But all the while, the canyons scratch deeper into the crust of the world.

DESERT
desert
THE MOST UNFORGIVING

WORLD CAN HIDE THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS
Once a land of shifting dunes and nomadic tribes moving from oasis to oasis,
the desert has become an unwelcome place. The few sources of clean water
have dried up, leaving a barren land filled with bandits and more unsavory
things that stalk the dunes at night. The tribes that still roam the sand look
on outsiders with suspicion.
Gusts of wind at night transform the dunes, and the tracks of passing tribes are
DESERT wiped away. To travelers unfamiliar with the landscape, the desert boasts a new
face each day, and the hypnotic pattern of the dunes threatens to lure them off
into the emptiness.
With torrid heat in the day and biting cold at night, only those with generations of
desert life in their blood are well adjusted to the severe environment. It makes for
hardy people who bow with the wind and shift with the sands. Those who
DESERT know the secrets of the wilderness can find water and food, but the inhospitable
land chews up and spits out any who don’t respect it. Their bleached bones are
all that remains.
Sometimes the most unforgiving world can hide the most beautiful sights—desert
blooms after rain; striations in the sand; the lazy swirl of birds in the sky; the
heavens at night, full of stars and wonder. There is life in the desert too.

VOLCANO
Volcano
THE CLOSEST ANYONE

WILL EVER BE TO THE
HEART OF THE WORLD
The volcano is the closest anyone will ever be to the heart of the world—the
lifeblood of the earth pulsing out and coagulating on the scorched fields
below the fiery slopes. Ash that spews out of the crater sends black veins through
the sky and signals to everyone that a greater power lurks below.
Rivers of magma burn new channels into the rock and extend the root system
of this igneous tree. The trunk reaches up into the air, and the gaseous leaves
VOLCANO choke all who linger in the fumes. If the Abyss were not in this realm, then the
volcano would be the mortals’ hell.
It dominates the landscape around it like an obsidian giant sitting on a throne.

There is something primal about its tremors and its eruptions. Something that
speaks to the raw fear in men’s bellies. A visceral instinct. It is here where the
brave are tested and where impurities are cleansed.
VOLCANO
The obsidian here is prized by jewelers and artisans across the land, though.
Demand for the resources of land constantly born anew bring the hopeful,
bring the desperate, and bring new carrion for the vultures that circle
above in the sky. Purification by fire is not a gentle ritual, and the volcano
takes its offerings gladly.

MOUNTAINS
MOUNTAINS
THOSE STRONG ENOUGH

TO STAKE A CLAIM
WILL BE REMEMBERED
Mortals quarry the rock and ascend the peaks, but the mountains do not bow to
men. It beckons to the strong. The wildness of the land attracts only the hardest
of individuals. The tribes in the mountains crave the austerity of the stone and
shirk the lavish wealth of other peoples.
As the mountains watch the years pass, rain dances upon the slope, snow
cascades in an avalanche to the steppe below, and fire glows from caves dug into
MOUNTAINS the rock—all while earth erodes. This land is a cauldron of elements that boils over
and scalds all but the men and women of the peaks.
At night, golems grind fresh paths through the jagged mountains, trolls hunt for
fresh meat for their caves, and goblins swarm out of their tunnels for fresh loot to
add to the hoard. To stay alive, the mountain tribes sleep in turns and keep watch.
It’s the only way to ensure the safety of the clans.
MOUNTAINS
But, for the bold, the mountains call to them, promising ancient secrets long buried
and glory hovering just beyond their grasp. This is a wild land, and those strong
enough to stake a claim will be remembered in the annals of mortal history.
They just have to survive first.

THE CITY
THE CITY
THE IMPOSING HEIGHT OF THE

FORTIFICATIONS SERVES AS
A LANDMARK FOR MILES
The crown jewel of Eredan’s reign, the City is a testament to the industry of
mortals and the vision of a god. He proved that a realm divided by warring cultures
and irreconcilable ideologies could be united; people could build instead of tearing
down. And though unrest returns to the hearts of men and women each morning
when they wake—the city walls, the boroughs, and the bubbling cauldron of
people in the crowded streets all support Eredan’s vision for the realm.
THE CITY Walls fifty spans thick protect the people from any outside threat. They are wide
enough for several horsemen abreast to ride the ramparts at the top. Watchtowers
line the battlements and give the city watch a view of the realm in all directions.
The imposing height of the fortifications serves as a landmark for miles.
Major avenues cut through the city like spokes on a wheel, and at the center
resides the great market where merchants from all over the realm peddle their
THE CITY wares. Walk down a street and five different languages are being spoken and ten
different foods being cooked.
All light casts shadows, though, and the City is full of darkness: deals made in the
dark, knives flashed, and lives cut short. Just as the City raises all of the good in
the heart of a mortal, it also encourages their worst vices. These are on display too;
one just has to know where to look.

THE POOLS
the pools
A GATEWAY
TO THE
NETHER REALM
An indefinable spit of land separates the City from the Abyss. The sulfuric
wasteland acts as an environmental barrier for denizens of the city. Known as
THE POOLS
a gateway to the nether realm, sulfur pools extend for miles and track through
the dark rock, casting a pall of gray shadow into the air.
Some say the place hews a mortal’s soul from their body. Youth dare each other
to spend the night in the Pools, each of them standing in the gloomy haze until
a shift in the wind or a silhouette in the fog scares them all away.
THE POOLS On the rare occasions when someone emerges from the Pools and enters
the City, people shy away. An instinctive fear grabs hold of them; they don’t
want to be tainted or marked by the same misfortune that befell someone
escaping that cursed place. It calls in the night, shrill cries whistling on
the wind like mournful music.
For those brave enough to journey into the fog and those desperate
enough to immerse themselves in the sulfur pools, there is a restorative
experience. Beyond the atmospheric horror, a place of healing waits for
any with the will to seek it.

THE ABYSS
THE ABYSS
THAT PLACE
OF TORTURE
AND DAMNATION
THE ABYSS
A place of punishment, penance, and purgatory, the Abyss swallows the refuse of
the realm and rarely spits them back out. Only the most determined of souls can
return from that place of torture and damnation. If demigods strive for the favor of
Eredan, then the Abyss is the cold rebuke of their ancestor.
Monsters lurk in the depths, and the shallows are filled with the wayward souls
who drowned beneath the smoky and ethereal haze. The yawning darkness calls to
THE ABYSS the hearts of mortals and demigods, beckoning them to lie and rest for millennia.
Travelers who skirt the edges of the Abyssal domain claim to hear the anguished
moans of loved ones passed beyond the Veil. Whether it’s trickery or the cruel twist
of Fate snipping at mortal life they may never know. But the demigods who crawl
out of that misery know one thing: they do not wish to return.
This is a place where dreams turn into nightmares.

And then nightmares come alive.

line of master smiths, she grew up in the fiery climate of the volcano as her family
worked the prized obsidian and other precious metals of the realm. And one day
when her friend was murdered, she learned how quickly a hammer could turn to
bloodier work. She was a vengeful arbiter with a red-tinged right hand.
Many feared her zeal for justice after that, but Pentha ignored them all because she
realized something her ancestors had not—her family could wield great power and
not just craft it for others. Deep in the vaults of the forge, the demigod hefted a
chunk of star metal--one of the few known in the realm--and returned to the forge
with intent. In a fever, she heated, hammered, and worked the metal until she
emerged from the forge the next day with a celestial weapon beyond compare.
Around the realm, all mortals know of Pentha’s warhammer. It is a thing of legend,
almost as much as the demigod who wields it. It binds to her and establishes a
duality to her mythos which emanates from her like a heady aura. Pentha inspires
loyalty and her two-handed weapon inspires fear. Few have the strength to lift it.
None but her, though, have the skill to wield it so effortlessly.
She is the daughter of a blacksmith but a child of destiny. Angered by the

corruption of the realm’s leaders and the weakness of men who rule from the
shadows, Pentha hopes to forge a new era. One predicated on strength and
dominated by those who have the will to carry the world on their shoulders. She is
one of those individuals. And her warhammer is ready for any who disagree.
VEILED FATE LORE BOOK / DEMIGODS 32

AGAMAR
AGAMAR
agamar
THE SPINE OF
A MOUNTAIN
The mountains cull all but the most resilient. And among those hardy tribes,
the warriors of the peaks are held with high regard as the most unyielding in
all the realm. When these warriors descend the mountains, they walk with the
calm measured steps of souls unafraid of death. Agamar is the most sacred of
these fighters.
A demigod with tree trunks for legs, the spine of a mountain, and the heart of
a king, Agamar fears no one. His flame-bladed sword is etched with runes that
boast of his victories. The wolf cloak draped across his shoulders signifies his
leadership among the mountain tribes. And his horned helm burdens his head
with glorious purpose.
City dwellers are weak. They hide behind great walls and hunker down next to
burning hearths when the seasons turn. They do not know hardship. They do not
know what it’s like to hunt for their food or build shelter during a blizzard. The
mountains blow away the chaff and burn off the fat. Agamar is ready to show the
realm the ferocity of his people and the power of his claim to the throne.
He has defied death across the realm. Each victory is another rune to bless his
sword. Agamar does not rely on deceit or guile. He doesn’t need to take his
enemies by surprise; he wants them to see him coming. He brandishes his sword
with determination and forges his Fate with the indomitable power
of the mountains at his back.

KLAR
KLAR
KLAR
MASTER OF
THE ABYSS AND
THE POOLS
Hailing from the Coast, Klar is unpredictable like the waves. A giant of a man with
a disposition to match, he’s a demigod who knows his strength and believes with
unwavering conviction that he is destined to rule. Eredan may have been a god
with knowledge of the arcane and wisdom beyond the scope of mortals, but at his
core was a strength born of watching those around him die. Klar understands this.
He is no stranger to death. He has survived shipwrecks that claimed the lives of

others. He has seen friends consumed by the monsters of the deep. And he has
lost loved ones. Klar feels a kinship with Eredan that he believes separates him
from the rest of the Nine. Calamity did not break him—it hardened him into the
fierce protector he is today. The coastal people speak of him with reverence.
Known as the “Water Giant,” Klar guards the bridge over the Abyss and
determines what pilgrims and travelers may cross the ancient construct. He
believes that Eredan and Fate have made him master of the Abyss and the Pools.
From the bridge, he watches the barrier between two worlds and decides who is
worthy in his domain.
It takes strength and endurance to stand guard before such terrible darkness. Klar
harnesses Fate like sailors harness the wind, leaning into it and learning to control
it. What better ruler for the realm than one with mastery over the Abyss? Klar plans
to usher in a second Golden Age.

APONI
APONI
APONI
READY FOR
NATURE TO
TAKE OVER
A forest dweller and a child of nature, Aponi knows full well what stalks the woods
at night and what rules the land when mortals sleep. There is power in the realm
beyond what men can comprehend, and Aponi knows how to channel that primal
energy. While others fear the wild creatures in the woods, Aponi shares their world
and speaks their language.
Aponi seeks power just like the other demigods in the world, and that doesn’t
bode well for her rivals. She isn’t interested in the petty squabbles that break out
in the City or the territorial disputes throughout the realm. She’s ready for nature
to take over. The ruins throughout the realm speak to the legacy of the mortals.
Nature is the only constant as time breaks down all else.
Do not interpret her aloofness as weakness, though. Aponi is a huntress who

knows how to set traps and lure prey into false confidence. If someone thinks that
they will catch Aponi unaware, then they are mistaken. This is a cunning predator
most at home in the wild; she must not be underestimated.
Just as nature creeps into the world of men, so too does Aponi slowly creep into
the plans of the other Nine. She seeks to uncover their plots and foil their plans.
Like a tree digging its roots into the ground as it grows, Aponi twists into the fabric
of the realm and makes her presence known. She is coming for the throne.

SAGHARI
SAGHARI
SAGHARI
SHE REVELS IN THE

FREEDOM OF
THE CANYONS
The canyons encourage risk, and those who grow up around the carved stone and
rope bridges learn to embrace the fickle way that Fate plucks the strings of life.
Water is precious; life is not. Climbing, jumping, and flitting through the canyons
flirts with death just as easily as any of the harsher climes.
But Saghari balks at the thought of dying as she sails across the chasms. Her speed
takes her from plateau to plateau across the cracked landscape as she revels in the
freedom of the canyons; the region is bereft of riches and starved for resources,
but the people are proud. They own the skies and the waters far below.
Saghari wants to carry that freedom with her and show the realm a different
way of living. The people have nothing to show from years of war and strife.
If the canyon tribes can survive with so little, imagine how they could shape
the world with the glut of resources that the realm has to offer. Eredan gave
so much to build something new, but that legacy is stained and broken now.
Saghari will pick up the pieces.
Other heroes in the Nine perceive Saghari to be a meek demigod, but her ways
are deceptive. With her vaulting spear, she has unexpected reach. She excels in
open spaces and the race for the throne is as open as they come. Her stamina is
peerless, and her vision of a new world keeps Saghari focused when others falter.

NAMARI
NAMARI
namari
A DEMIGOD WITH
UNTAMED SPEED
While exploring ruins in the desert as a boy, Namari was poisoned by a scorpion.
His people thought he would die within hours, but his heart rate did not slow.
It quickened as his body fought the poison and kept the young demigod alive.
The nomadic tribes called him the “Dune Scorpion” and began to train him in
the art of war.
A protector of the desert tribes and a wanderer at heart, Namari keeps his
ancestral ties close as he travels throughout the realm. A fearsome bird of prey
perches on his wrist and gazes with cold, smoldering anger at any who comes
near its master. This is a man of the wilderness who brings the bite of his
heritage to any who oppose him.
Namari despises the excess of the urban cities, but he travels through the realm
regardless, seeking whatever power and riches he can take back to his people in
the desert. It’s time for the dunes to shift and for the nomadic tribes to rise above
the other mortals. City dwellers have hoarded the wealth of the world for too long.
And at the head of that desert wave will be Namari, a demigod with untamed
speed. He wields the bow and the sword, riding as a herald of change. With stony
eyes that patrol the sky above him, his vision extends far past that of other mortals
and demigods. He will drag the rest of the world with him on his quest.

NAKA
NAKA
NAKA
A SHROUD
OF MYSTERY
There is only one in the City as keenly aware of the criminal undercurrents as the
conspiracies among the nobles. With her hand deeply embedded in those two
distinct worlds, Naka is positioned to leverage anyone, from street ruffians to the
City’s elite. She wields information in her left hand and politics in her right. They
cut deeper than steel ever could.
Not all demigods use their brawn to influence the Fate of mortals. Naka has no
need for getting her hands dirty. She performs violence with words, she kills with
silence, and she controls the lives of hundreds with the information she trades and
the bargains she strikes. That’s true power, unbridled by the fatigue of the sword
arm or the bloodlust of the people.
Naka will not let go of what she’s amassed. From her time as a youth on the City
streets, she learned what it meant to have nothing and to live by the whims of
those in power. She is one of the most dangerous of the Nine because she
hungers for more even when she stands at the top of the pyramid.
Those that cross her find themselves out of favor among the ruling elite and in
danger of a blade in the dark, but Naka will never be implicated because she
wraps herself in a shroud of mystery. And now she’s willing to leave the City
to pursue her ambitions for the throne. The puppetmaster pulls the strings
across her vast network.

BELAN
BELAN
BELAN
HE KNOWS
THE SECRETS
OF THE WORLD
As one who chronicles the legends of the realms and transcribes the oral
histories of its people, Belan is intimately familiar with the cultures that mix
in the City like a simmering cauldron. He knows the people, the upper and lower
classes, better than they know themselves. He is a rare historian with plans to
use his knowledge for gain.
Belan can wield his sword with dispassion, but he is much more suited to the pen.
There is power in words that the other demigods do not recognize. They shape the
understanding of mortals and dictate how life will be remembered when all who
live now are but dust. If he is the one who records history, does he not shape it?
He is the only one to rival Naka in collecting information. Just as the sharpest
sword cannot draw blood if it doesn’t know where to swing, the ambitious
demigods around Belan will not succeed if they don’t know where to direct their
energy. He knows where the temples lie in the remote regions. He knows the
secrets of the world.
If Belan can capitalize on his position, then he may be the next leader of the realm.
His faith in his mission comes from knowing what others do not. It’s the kind that
influences the mind with one breath and draws the sword in the next. Power and
understanding working in unison. Belan could be the one to wield them both.

ISABEL
ISABEL
Isabel
FATE INTENDED
ON HER DEMISE
Orphaned in the desert, life started to fade like a mirage until a nomad happened
upon the malnourished babe. Fate intended on her demise, but Isabel had other
plans. While she retained the reed-thin and gaunt appearance of one marked by
death, she learned to channel her hunger for life into something truly remarkable.
A djinn of the desert, a sorceress of skulls, and a demigod with designs on the
throne, Isabel is a nomad of the realm now. Wise ones find her disconcerting,
priests find her inexplicable, but her power cannot be disputed. She is what
happens when demigods stand against Fate and dare to test the bounds of destiny.
Her dress of bones is imbued with spirits from beyond the Veil. Her staff is
powered by Abyssal energy and her knowledge of the arcane is unrivaled among
the Nine. Isabel is a mesmerizing being who sees past the walls that others build
around their souls. She pierces through the Veil and bears witness to the cosmos.
Death frightens those who can’t grasp the life that thrives on it. It petrifies those
who see it as the existential swing of the axe. But to one who comes from such
a haunted past, death is a seed of power to be embraced and not feared; Isabel
knows this all too well, and now the orphan seeks to become a queen.

FAST OF RAVENS FESTIVAL OF BOWS
Every year, the ritual fast takes place in the Temple of the Raven. Followers of the Raven crowd into the temple to commune with their patron. The bow is a revered weapon and tool among mortals. It gives life when souls are hungry.
The following day, the faithful did not emerge from the inner sanctum. They are found dead, slumped over each other’s still forms. It takes life away when evil threatens to rear its dark head. Such a versatile gift from the gods must be celebrated.
