 FOREWORD

We all likely share a memory constructed of several key elements: a circle of friends, the rattle of dice, bursts of laughter, heart-
racing excitement, amusing tangents, endearing NPCs, and inside jokes that endure. These are moments we reminisce about for
months, sometimes even years.

Tabletop gaming offers a unique escape, allowing us to immerse ourselves in grand tales and epic adventures crafted by our
own hands. It presents the chance to not just witness a story, but BE the story, and inhabit these rich, fantastical worlds, and
forge our own myths — our very own tales that resonate with us more profoundly than any fandom, novel, or other games
might.

MythCraft emerged from a desire to design a game system that genuinely supports the birth of epic sagas. It seeks to bridge the
gap between complex combat and a love for intricate narratives. Our vision was clear: a game where players needn’t sacrifice
any part of their experience. It delivers the thrill of intricate tactical combat without compromising on roleplay, character
evolution, exploration, or any other non-combat elements that elevate stories to legendary status.

What you have in your hands is the MythCraft Roleplaying Game, meticulously designed to facilitate the most legendary
adventures. It’s built to endure the test of time, to adapt to countless iterations and derivations, and to provide a scaffold upon
which creators can shape their own myths.

While MythCraft’s core ruleset isn’t your typical “pick up and play” for a casual game night, it is purposefully designed to foster
detailed campaigns that may span years in our world and decades within the game’s world. Our aim was to seamlessly integrate
aspects of roleplaying and wargaming, creating a tactical experience without relying on expensive miniatures. We strived
to craft a strategic game that remains uncompromisingly loyal to roleplaying, exploration, adventuring, and all the facets of
tabletop gaming that make it peerless.

Designed with modularity at its core, we aimed to future-proof MythCraft. Once players and creators grasp the foundational
rules, the game offers unparalleled flexibility. Having mastered the principles within, MythCraft’s engine is yours to steer,
forging any universe you envision.

MythCraft is a game for everyone, and it will always remain accessible — free for players, game masters, and creators to
experience and innovate upon.

So, delve into the world of MythCraft, where every decision, whether made in the heat of battle or in the quiet forging of
alliances, bears significance.

We can’t wait to see what myths you’ll craft.

Grant Mielke, August 2023

hen you create a character at 1st level, you choose your lineage: you might be a human, adaptable and tenacious;
a dwarf, hardy and stalwart; or an otherworldly, recondite elf. Perhaps you come from a less well-known lineage:
maybe you’re a flighty, fuzzy kleppin, enormous trollfolk, cantankerous bhrunai, or even a shambling undead.
At 1st level, you gain your lineage’s base features. You gain one additional lineage feature of your choice at certain character
levels: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 29. This is based on your overall character level, not on how many levels you might have in a
particular class.
 The evidence of this theft could always be found the
following morning in the form of shoes with new soles or
clothes expertly patched with tightly-wound swampgrass.
Past bhrunai generally struggled with the concept of
ownership and so these exchanges were often deemed as
thefts, though many homes grew to welcome these small
services and so began leaving offerings for the bhrunai
directly. However, it is only in recent centuries that these
once-reclusive beings have emerged from their seclusion
and embraced integration into society at large.
Travelers may now encounter bhrunai as they engage
in commerce in bustling city markets or traverse trade
routes with their turtle-pulled wagons. They have earned
a particularly notable reputation as skilled artisans and
craftsmen and are known to pour themselves into perfecting
a craft over their long lifetimes. They take great pride in
their independence and resourcefulness, relying on their
own abilities to solve problems before seeking assistance.

B H R U N A I C U LT U R E
Bhrunai have traditionally preferred either solitude or the
company of their own kind, building tiny, stilted hovels
and forming small communes, usually close to established
settlements with which they could trade. Passersby may
mistake a group of sleeping bhrunai for mossy boulders.
Bhrunai have unique romantic relationships, wherein two
who chose to spend their lives together perform a “Melding”
wherein two become one. This new bhrunai shares the
memories of both mates, but is an entirely new unique
individual. Ten to fifteen years after a Melding, two to four
small, round, pebble-like eggs break off from the bhrunai
while it sleeps, which grow into young.

their eyes range in coloration from gray to brown to green

a captivating appearance they share with their northern
relatives, the trollkin. Existing on Ancerra for countless ages,
this ancient lineage is deeply intertwined with the myths
and legends of many other cultures. In the past, it was well
known that bhrunai would often sneak into homes deep in
the night and take food, trinkets, or other such things they
deemed useful as tools.

 D R AG O N F O L K
On the continent of Gathandia in the first supereon, a
stalwart nation of dwarven warriors managed to fell
an enormous Kaijan. Using elder runemagic through
ancient artifacts that they only partially understood, they
reanimated the corpse of the Kaijan into a new creature.
This was the first dragon.
The dwarven leaders of this nation mastered the craft
and created one more dragon, whereupon the artifacts
broke in a tremendous magical explosion, preventing
the arcane creation of any more dragons. However, the
two dragons had seven offspring, and the nine dragons
departed from the dwarven kingdoms to claim their own
territory. These are the nine true dragons, glorious and
immortal, and from them all drakes, wyverns, winged
serpents, and the like have descended.
Dragonfolk are a proud and mighty remnant of an
ancient kingdom ruled by the immortal nine dragons.
The inhabitants of this lost kingdom were once humans
and other humanoid lineages, and the first generation
of dragonfolk were transformed from these lineages into
their dragonlike bodies through powerful arcane magic
cast by the nine dragons. The descendants of these first
dragonfolk are the dragonfolk that populate Ancerra today.
Though their kingdom has long since fallen into antiquity,
and the dragons themselves are veiled in myth and legend,
most dragonfolk still hold onto the regal bearing of their
ancestors and embrace the finer points of culture such as
art, dance, and song. Visually, they resemble their true
dragon ancestors with tough scales, reptilian tails, curled
horns, and even wings. While most are flightless, all
dragonfolk can breathe fire by tapping into the vestigial
power of their ancestry.

DRAGONFOLK
C U LT U R E
Dragonfolk communities tend to promote matters of self-
improvement and exemplify beauty of the inner self in
all things both physical and intellectual. Most dragonfolk
believe that improvement of the self serves to improve the
community and embrace a “strong links make a strong
chain” mentality. While this can develop tightly-knit
communities built on mutual support, it can also lead to
harsh ostracization of those deemed unsupportive of the
community.
Dragonfolk in society are often praised for their
eagerness to learn, meticulous instruction, and service to
the local community. It is not unusual to see dragonfolk
artisans taking on multiple apprentices or to see dragonfolk
city guards organizing community self-defense lessons for
the poor and exploited.

 D WA R F
Stout and hearty dwarves are the masters of the
subterranean realm where their ingenuity and natural
affinity with the earth see them digging mighty
underground cities and building long-lasting civilizations.
Endless dangers prowl the lightless caverns and dwarves
have developed their mastery of trap and defense against
all manner of threats both above and below. Dwarven
fortresses are some of the most impenetrable bastions in
the known world.
While many dwarves took to subterranean dwellings as a
way to avoid the horrendous scourge of Kaijan during the
first supereon, an intrepid nation of dwarves stayed on the
surface and fought back. Those mighty dwarves that killed
a fearsome Kaijan and used an ancient, mysterious artifact
to turn the Kaijan’s corpse into the first dragon are often
held in reverie by other dwarven nations.
Dwarves are generally distinguished by three
sublineages: the mountain dwarf, crag dwarf, and deep
dwarf. Mountain dwarves, or “Strugar,” carve their homes
in the tallest peaks and laud their thick beards and
natural resistance to the coldest heights. Crag dwarves, or
“Kharn’Khan,” build their cities within massive canyons,
both natural and dwarf-made, where each layer is carefully
excavated and then settled. Lastly, the beardless, pale-
skinned deep dwarves, or “Uhn’Gunder,” settle within the
deepest caves of the earth where stories of “daylight” are
told to frighten children.

D WA R V E N C U LT U R E
Dwarves of all types prize their craftsmanship and
architecture. They honor their ancestors with massive
shrines. Mountain dwarves celebrate rare metals and gems,
often using them to embellish their crafts and structures.
As such, dwarvish goods are highly valued in trade. Crag
dwarves tend to focus their societies around ancient ruins
and archeological treasures found in their mines. They are
well known for their clay crafts and stonework. Many crag
dwarf cities are built in restored ruins of ancient dwarven
or elven civilizations and their clothes and creations are
an integration of long-forgotten styles. Deep dwarves
are naturally the most isolated of the sublineages and
tend to be wary of outside influences. Their dangerous
environments leave them little room for arts or frivolity
and their societies focus more on survival than long-term
legacy.
Deep dwarves have a particular affinity for the ancient
technologies and structures found below the earth and
have absorbed much of their discoveries into their own
societies. In fact, many deep dwarf nations have large
populations of remnants, as well as smaller but notable
populations of raedeen.

CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES 21
 ELF
The origin of elves is shrouded in story and myth, but it
is widely believed they arrived on Ancerra long before
the first humanoid civilizations were established. Star
elves, with their deep blue-black skin and shimmering
white hair, claim their ancestry from the eternal void of
space. The coppery-skinned forest elves believe that their
ancient lineages come directly from the conclaves of the
Archfae in the Everwilds. The mountain elves still believe
their ancestors leave prophecies and guidance in the
night sky and stare endlessly from their isolated mountain
observatories. Yet some elves, like the crystal-eyed plains
elves, speak little of their progenitors and instead embrace
the present, busy as they are with the endless skirmishes
and battles across the steppes. Regardless of which mythos
is believed, the elves of Ancerra all feel a deep affinity
with starlight and believe that they are in some way
linked to the cosmos beyond. Elves share a bond like no
other lineage as each night their dreams touch the shared
consciousness known as the Celestial Sea, where memory
and experience from millions of lives churn and flow.
As varied as the elves are in body and personality, they
are generally respected for their wisdom and adventurous
spirits. Though they live long lives by the standards of the
other dominant lineages, they still greet their days with
open-eyed wonder and ever search for new and exciting
experiences. Their keen senses make them excellent
trackers, scouts, and dungeoneers while their ability to
touch the collective consciousness of the Celestial Sea
pushes many to excel in more studious arts where the
knowledge of the past can be directly built upon.

E L F C U LT U R E
With long lives and longer memories, elf culture rarely
shifts across the decades. Cities built centuries past often
contain twisting roads and arched canopy roofs. Current
styles of clothing and jewelry often match those on ancient
tapestries. The breadth of elven contribution to the arts,
literature, and sciences is beyond measure, though these
often come at a far slower pace compared to what other
lineages produce.

 F I EN DBL O OD
The Fiends of Inferno are a brutal and cunning lot whose
thoughts and behaviors are far beyond the comprehension
of mortal beings. Those that act beyond instinct feel
nothing of love, appreciation, or admiration and their
dealings are always of a transactional nature. Those
foolish enough to bargain usually find, to their horror, that
they do not receive quite what they expect. Humans are
particularly susceptible to Fiendish influences.
Fiendbloods result in the mingling of Fiend and
humanoid blood, which produces a twisted hybrid
offspring. Though the child itself may appear perfectly
normal and healthy for the first few years of life, their
nature quickly becomes apparent as they grow and signs of
their parentage begin to show. Horns begin to poke from
their heads, their skin takes on strange green, red, or gray
tones, their eyes darken to black orbs, and strange tragedy
follows wherever they go. Those that do manage to avoid
suspicion learn the truth when they reach maturity and the
first blood transformation takes place.

FIENDBLOOD TRAITS
Height: 4’8” – 6’5”

Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Fiendbloods generally resemble a typical
member of the species they were born into until they
reach their sixteenth birthday when they undergo their
first transformation and all manner of changes occur. They
might sprout twisted goat horns or spines, wicked claws
and fangs, spiked tails or even bat-like wings. Their skin
becomes a mottled red, gray, or green and their eyes fade
to solid black or dull red.
Lifespan: Fiendbloods reach maturity around age 16 and
naturally live about 70 – 90 years.

 A G O L E M ’ S C R E AT O R
With rare exception, a caster is only ever able to create one
golem in their lifetime due to the intense amount of magical
energy that goes into creating life from inanimate matter.
This often means that a golem and its creator share an
intense bond, either as great friends or terrible adversaries
(as in the case of poor Viktor Shelley, who created the first
golem).
When making a golem character, consider who created
you. Typically, a caster will want to keep a golem around
for protection or companionship. If this is the case, how
do you feel about your creator? Are you friends, or is your
relationship more like that of a parent and child or an
employer and hired hand? Do you want to remain with your
creator or set out to live your own life?
Alternatively, sometimes the creation of a golem is a
process that a caster is not yet prepared for, and the process
kills the caster, propels them into another plane of existence,
or some other dramatic fate.
Perhaps your creator is another member of your party.
Remember that the process of creating a golem usually
requires a tremendous capacity for magic, but also exacts a

 H A LF LI NG
Halflings are a diminutive people as diverse and widespread
as humans, though only half as tall. What they lack in
stature, they make up for in bravery and nimbleness, and
many halfling heroes have made their name as adventurers.
They tend to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and prefer
quiet, unobtrusive living but when duty calls, they will often
endure and persevere long after the stronger, larger species
have faltered.
Halflings share the same skin tones and hair colors as
humans, though their eyes tend to be a tint brighter. They
can be found in every climate, city, and biome and are well
integrated into nearly every society.

H A L F L I N G C U LT U R E
Though halflings do not share a singular culture so much
as other more insular lineages, they are well known and
well respected for their singing, music, and art. Their
calm, carefree nature, which most often dominates later in
life, often leads elder halflings to creative pursuits as they
typically retain a bit more energy and wherewithal than
their human cousins.

HALFLING TRAITS
Height: 2’10” – 4’2”
Weight: 50 – 80 lbs
Size: Small
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Halflings share the basic features of humans,
though they tend to have brighter characteristics. Although
they only stand about as tall as a human child, they have the
same bodily proportions as an adult human.
Lifespan: Halflings reach maturity around age 16 and
naturally live about 70 – 90 years.

 HON DU
(HAHN-doo)
The hondu are canine humanoids who originally came
from the dark boreal forests of the northern lands, but have
since spread to all known corners of the continent. The
hondu possess unmatched endurance and speed for any
race their size. They are able to track and pursue prey for
days on end, and equally capable of hauling their kills back
to their family groups.
While generally known for their loyalty and bravery,
hondu are as diverse in personality as they are in
appearance. Even members of the same family might have
drastically different colorations in fur or length of snout.

H O N D U C U LT U R E
Hondu culture tends to exemplify the sanctity of life and
strive to uphold the order of the natural world. In this
sense, nature is deified as much as any god and over-
hunting, wastes of food, and relishing in excess are heavily
discouraged. Where hondu cities are built, outsiders might
find a surprising marriage of nature and civilization in
food, architecture, and art.

HONDU TRAITS
Height: 4’6” – 6’4”
Weight: 80 – 230 lbs
Size: Small or Medium (your choice)
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Hondu are bipedal. They have a fluffy tail
and a canine head. They are visually varied, having many
different combinations of coloration in fur and eyes.
Hondu snouts, tails, ears, and fur all vary in length and

 K LEPPI N
(KLEP-pen)
Kleppin are an incredibly diverse lineage of small fur-
covered humanoids with features resembling a multitude
of woodland animals. Some sport thick bushy tails and
cherubic cheeks, like the common squirrel, while others
have tall pointed ears and long feet, like a meadow hare.
Still others hold resemblance to badgers, beavers, or
raccoons. Regardless of what critter they might resemble,
they are all kleppin and hold the same fiery spirit known as
others of their kind.
Though small in stature, the kleppin are far from skittish
or timid as their appearance might lead some to believe.
Kleppin settlements often host small but masterfully
trained squads of warriors who are experts in ambush
tactics that hobble enemy forces well before they reach
the palisade gates. Kleppin know their territory inside and
out, above and below, and rarely does anyone approach
without their notice. Those kleppin who do heed the call of
adventure, or have it thrust upon them, often find work as
trackers, guides, druids and rangers where their connection
to the natural world can be put to full effect.

K L E P P I N C U LT U R E
Much like the Hondu, kleppin societies often embrace the
natural world and build their cities as compliments to the
environment rather than forcing dominance. Mighty trees
host huge cities of residences while vast tunnel systems
below the roots teem with industry. Natural defenses are
supplemented with growths, deadfalls, and palisades.
Kleppin art and literature exemplifies their cultural heroes
and spins even the most mundane tale into epic fables with
notable lessons.

KLEPPIN TRAITS
Height: 2’6” – 3’8”
Weight: 30 – 50 lbs

 R A EDEEN
(ray-DEEN)
The ancient avadri have vestigial traces of power
throughout the known universe. The world of Ancerra is
rich with these slivers of power. Sometimes, under rare
circumstances, this legacy manifests as a living humanoid
entity, something between a magical artifact and a
breathing biological person. These are the raedeen —
sapient traces of powers long forgotten.
Raedeen are often quiet and contemplative, in constant
communion with slivers of avadri tech all around them.
All raedeen, regardless of relationship with avadri tech,
are driven by the need to protect. Whether that be their
friends, a location, or a warped ideal, they remain steadfast
due to remnants of a long-forgotten directive. Rarely will
a raedeen place their own safety above that of others, and
even more their friends.
A marriage between psionic technology and biological
flesh, raedeen forms carry immense latent magical
powers. They are born to any flesh-and-blood race, but
are implanted with the vestiges of avadri technology.
Some cultures, such as the elves of the plains, take these
features as blessings, as they attune the raedeen to the
dormant avadri technology across the planet. Others,
however, view them in a more critical light, ostracizing
raedeen due to the magical incidents that often happen
around their uncontrolled powers. Their sensitivity to
magic and excellent perception abilities lend them easily
towards tracking or looting roles, but this also makes them
incredibly susceptible to strong psionic attacks and psychic
manipulation.

RAEDEEN TRAITS
Height: 6’0” – 7’6”
Weight: 120 – 200 lbs
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Raedeen skin varies in a rainbow of colors,
but is always marked with geometric areas of metallic
iridescence and faint panel-line markings. This might look
as subtle as a normal human visage with slight lines on the
face and arms. Conversely, the physical tell might be wildly
obvious, such as a kettek-like humanoid with horns, blue
fur, and metallic plating.
Lifespan: Raedeen have slightly above the average lifespan
of a human (roughly 80 – 110 years), regardless of their
parent race. This often leads to tragedy if they are born to
a longer-lived race such as elves, as they will age and die
far sooner and faster than their parents.

Long before sapient creatures began building their
civilizations, ancient and long-forgotten deities sculpted
Ancerra. Their tools were powerful machinations of magic
and technology, shaping and maintaining Ancerra’s storied
terrain. Eons later, shards of these tools lay forgotten,
abandoned by their original purpose.
Now with the advent of widespread magic, sometimes
these shards, these remnants, find themselves awake
and with memories that blur and blend together. These
wandering souls seek out an esoteric something, whether
that be a master or true freedom. Most cannot describe
it in words of any mortal tongue. Remnants are highly
empathic, and often sensitive to the emotional energies of
the people they surround themselves with.

B U I LT W I T H P U R P O S E
Not every tool must be a weapon. Remnants can be the
remains of anything: an ecological manipulation device,
an arcane observatory, a dimensional gateway, etc. Their
forms, though humanoid, are varied; however, they always
share the sharp geometric patterns and bismuth-like
formations of stone that make up their body. Remnants
have personalities as varied as any other lineage, but they
all possess an existential desire to be useful. Whether
that translates to overthrowing tyrants or creating toys
for children, remnants believe that all living beings are
designed to compliment one another in a grand, cosmic
symbiosis. Remnants find it abhorrent when sapient
creatures act in a selfish manner.

Satyrs are somewhat rare humanoids originally hailing
from the Everwilds but now long established on Ancerra.
Although they generally resemble olive-skinned humans,
they bear a number of distinctly goat-like features
including hooves, fur-covered legs and waists, tails, ears,
and horns. Fur and hair colors have a range that matches
human hair and goat fur. Some satyrs also have more
unique hair and fur color akin to spring flowers: pastel
pinks, greens, or blues. Satyr eyes tend to have brighter
complexions than those naturally seen in humans.
With a well-earned reputation for lightheartedness,
whimsy, and merriment, satyrs are known for their large
personalities and ability to command the rowdiest of
crowds. They rarely fear being the center of attention and
make for excellent entertainers, performers, and charlatans
with their natural abilities to put people at ease.

S A T Y R C U LT U R E
With a culture that draws much from their roots in the
Everwilds, particularly the side that borders on the realm
of Chaos, satyrs seemingly find every day a holiday in one
form or another. Food and drink are shared freely and it
is rare for a satyr to accumulate wealth as they genuinely
believe any day living is a day worth celebrating. They
rarely concern themselves with a lasting legacy beyond the
memories shared with friends and family and even satyr
funerals can be a joyous occasion.

A relative of the mystical bhrunai, the hulking trollkin are
well defined by their brown-green skin, long, pointed ears,
and protruding lower tusks. They often sprout thick manes
of mossy-green, brown, or black hair and long claw-like
nails on their four-fingered hands. This ancient lineage has
existed on Ancerra for millennia and has a long history in
the mythos of isolated northern settlements. Colloquially
called bridge trolls, there are many tall tales of growling
trollkin demanding tolls or asking complex riddles of those
who wished to cross the bridge under which they resided.
What these tales often neglect to mention is that trollkin
are clean and meticulous in the upkeep of the places
they live and most local settlements welcomed the well-
maintained and reinforced bridges they relied on for trade
and travel. Trollkin such as these became valued members
of the community, often accepting food and company in
payment for defense against hostile creatures or brigands
for there are few things a trollkin values over a safe and
quiet home.
Trollkin are well respected as merchants, trackers, and
guides for their undisputed connection with the natural
world and affinity with wild beasts. They pride their
natural independence and self-sufficiency and always look
to their own skills to solve a problem before turning to
another. Still, an adventuring party can always rely on a
trollkin to accomplish the tasks they promise to do and
their ability to turn to stone in an instant is remarkably
handy.

T R O L L K I N C U LT U R E
Trollkin have historically kept to themselves, and rarely
sought the company of their own kind. Trollkin culture
has thus risen from their own oral histories, passed down
from parent to child, and their predilection to philosophical
rambling have made them a favorite conversation partner
for sages and scholars.

There are many ways to pass through the veil of death, but
few to pass back. For time immemorial, intelligent mortals
have sought ways to break the bonds of life for themselves
or others. Whether by dark ritual, unrestricted science, or
sheer power of will, these beings continue to exist on the
fringes of the living world.
The undead forever move with purpose and are often
driven by that which could not be completed in life.
Whether it be revenge, love, or works left unfinished, this
goal shapes every action they make until it is completed
and a new goal is discovered. Undead make unwavering
companions and are often sought out for their knowledge
of lore, history, or crafting. Though ghosts and spirits are
classified as “undead,” the willpower needed to maintain
a purely nonphysical form often requires that they remain
bound to haunted structures or areas of land and so
undead adventurers carry on with what remains of their
original bodies.

UNDEAD IN SOCIETY
While the undead are rare in the wider world, societal
views on undead vary widely from culture to culture and
spread the gambit of outright hostility to ritualistic honor.
Some societies treat undead like they do their family
elders, and others actively hunt them down out of fear or
prejudice. In general though, the undead are respected for
their direct knowledge of the past and their unwavering
nature.

UNDEAD TRAITS
Appearance, Height, Weight, Size, and Speed: The

 U R KOU
The urkou are a proud and noble people that originally hail
from the far northern realms where their thick hides and
massive claws allowed them to survive in the inhospitable
climate. Early explorers would frequently bring back tales
of lightly-dressed ursine warriors with massive glaives of
pure ice marching across the tundra plains, unphased by
the bitter cold and ferocious in battle.
Over the millennia, the urkou developed a vast tribe-
based nation that spans the enormity of the arctic ocean
and the northlands of Gathandia. This society came to be
known as the nation of Tievos. Tievos is predominantly
a nation of urkou, though over the many years other
lineages have come to call this land home. Tievos venerates
a matriarchal governing system: dynastic primogeniture
is practiced with the eldest daughter of the High Queen
ascending to the throne after her mother’s passing.
While urkou are fiercely independent, they are equally
patriotic. Most urkou will go to great lengths to help other
Tievosi, from lending supplies to taking up arms on behalf
of their brethren.

“I embrace the darkness within. It makes

me strong. My fury is my guide, and I will
meet victory…or oblivion.”

-Hanniah Sharptooth, queen of viscera

You were born amidst the towering arctic mountains,
axe and spear in hand. From an early age you displayed
unmatched ferocity and an unyielding spirit, but there was
also a darkness about you. Even by the time you were a
young teen, you displayed not just bravery, but unmitigated
savagery on the battlefield. As you continued to hone your
physical prowess, the burning rage within you only grew
hotter. Now you brim with tremendous bloodlust. The
life of adventuring suits you, especially a life in pursuit
of dangerous battles, as you look for any opportunity to
unleash your inner demons.
You are known and feared for your unstoppable blood
rages. Whether you give into a blind fury or enter an almost
transcendent state of awareness amid the carnage, your
blood rage is a savage and terrible thing that few have ever
survived.

BERZERKER TRACKS
Exile. Your life is a cruel joke. Through some misdeed or
overzealous act, you have become an exile, and you seek to
make your own way in an uncaring world.
Fearless. You are made of sterner stuff than the average
soldier and do not frighten easily. You can stare down any
horror without flinching.
Juggernaut. Capable of withstanding more punishment
than your companions, you assume the responsibility of the
front-line fighter where you can absorb the brunt of enemy
attacks.
Rage. By unleashing your inner demons, you can fuel
your attacks with mighty rage. This allows you to do
significantly more damage, but also makes you easier to hit
in your blind fury.

“Each soul is a unique thread in a divine
tapestry. It is my sacred duty to nourish
these threads, as they are gifts given by the
gods themselves. I tend especially to those
threads that are frayed and in need of
repairs.”

-Marcus Luxxor, disciple of Tovare

Having been raised in the orbit of a great religious order,
piety is in your blood. As a child you strove to give alms and
help the needy whenever you could manage. You sought out
the wise counsel of the priests and clergy in your town, and
you took their teachings to heart, meditating on the precepts
of your deities both day and night. Now, as a righteous pillar
of your religious community, you continue to follow the path
you began as a child: in all that you do, you seek to venerate
your gods and enact their will on the world around you.
You might pursue many clerical studies or focus your
mind and soul upon mastering a single discipline, becoming
an expert healer, righteous combatant, dedicated scholar,
or a blend thereof. Regardless, you always have your divine
icon at your side, a holy depiction of your god or your
tenets. Your divine icon serves both as a moral anchor for
you and connects you to deities that bless you with vestiges
of holy authority.

CLERIC TRACKS
Exorcist. Stronger of will than your average clergyperson
or preacher, you might make it your life’s mission to stare
down the darkest demons of humanity and draw them out
of unfortunate souls.
Piety. You work small miracles, healing injury and disease
with a mere touch, or invigorating a season’s crops to
bounty.
Theologian. You passionately study scripture and ancient
texts, and how to illuminate manuscripts or scribe ornate
icons with which you can spread the miraculous wonder of
your faith.
Divine Icons. You have at least one divine icon, which
holds within it vestiges of holy power from the god or gods
that you worship.

“Magic is a wondrous gift. Why exert
unnecessary effort when a flick of the wrist
or a glance of the eye can accomplish the
same?”

-Finneas Alistair Laith, absentminded

scholar
You have always had a spark of talent within you, perhaps
the ability to literally conjure forth sparks when agitated or
excited. Ever curious about the world and the power within
you, you have never shied away from experimentation with
your magical powers. In your youth this caused your family
endless grief and singed eyebrows. Now, having mastered
the basics of arcane magic, you seek to continue your study
and uncover ever deeper mysteries of the Fundamental
Wellspring of Magic.
Developing skill as an arcane caster necessitates that
you maintain Attunation with the Fundamental Wellspring.
This entails different practices for different casters, so in
your case it might involve reading complex arcane texts or
meditating intensely on the metaphysics or astrophysics of
the universe. Be proactive, for if you become lackadaisical
in maintaining Attunation, your skill will gradually atrophy,
and you might lose your arcane ability altogether if you do
not diligently cultivate this Attunation.

MAGE TRACKS
Arcane Weaving. Some spells are especially mutable,
capable of being sculpted into something new. You might
master this ability, allowing you a diverse repertoire of
effects.
Archmage. By focusing on a single function of magic -
alchemy, illusory magic, or perhaps necromancy to name a
few - you can become an unparalleled master of customizing
the capabilities of your magic.
Sorcery. By manipulating chance, you mitigate the danger
of arcane magic or can cause the magic to become even
more unstable, with explosive results.
Tome Wizard. If you enchant a tome or scroll you can
learn far more magic than you might otherwise, as the tome
gradually comes to life and helps you learn and cast more
spells.

“Knowledge is both a gift and a curse.
Do not seek to understand the future, as
this can never be known, but instead to
understand the currents that shape it. May
the wisdom of the stars guide your steps
towards a future that begets goodness.”

-Alanákalai Eyarie, prophet

Born under a unique configuration of Ancerra’s five moons,
you were destined for mystic greatness. As a child you
possessed an innate sensitivity to people’s emotional states
and to the natural world around you, and often you felt that
unsettling sense that you knew something would happen
before the fact, and it came to pass precisely as you had
expected. This led you to seek the counsel of an experienced
mystic who taught you the ways of oracular prophecy.
Embracing your role as a link between the physical and the
spiritual, you have yourself become an enigmatic guide to
those who seek prophetic vision.
Regardless of how accurate you are, you may be called
upon frequently to predict the future. Give some thought
to how you feel about such requests. Do you believe that
you can actually divine the future on command, or do you
think that such visions are only occasionally gifted to you?
Is it a skill you can get better at, or just an innate knack you
possess? Furthermore, what kind of physical props, such as
tarot cards or animal bones, do you use when attempting
such soothsaying?

ORACLE TRACKS
Druid. You take it upon yourself to serve as a mediating
force between primeval forces and embrace divine or occult
powers as a way to balance the primal magic that surges
within.
Elementalist. You capture the terrible energy of raging
fires and storms, turning such harmful effects into powerful
elemental shields.
Fate. Sometimes called a prophet or diviner, you might
gain the ability to see shadows of the future and exert your
influence over fate.
Guide. Whether a mysterious mentor or an eclectic
professor, you instruct your pupils in various skills and
techniques, helping them all to improve.

“In the streets, nobody cares if you wanna
fight fair or not. You gotta hit ‘em hard,
and hit ‘em where it hurts ‘til your right
hand’s runnin’ red.”

-Charlie Cobbler, provider for his family

You grew up in a rough neighborhood and had been in more
than your fair share of street fights by the time you were
a teen. Forged and tempered by your brutal environment,
you are familiar with the necessity of fighting over scraps
of food and the agony of gnawing hunger and broken ribs
after losing such a fight. But you remained determined to
persevere despite innumerable hardships. Through sheer
will to survive, unwavering grit, and bloody fists, you
became a powerful unarmed combatant, capable of going
toe to toe even with skilled warriors that fight with sword or
spear.
Your skill in unarmed combat is unquestioned and
your style distinct. Do you rely on your overwhelmingly
powerful physique to crush your foes? Maybe you fight
with an unpredictable blend of strength and agility, or
you might rigorously train in various forms that you
can use to outmaneuver enemies with different fighting
styles. Whatever your personal blend of unarmed combat
maneuvers, you quickly cultivate a reputation among other
fighters for your skill at holding your own against armed
combatants.

PUGILIST TRACKS
Constitute. Your body is capable of withstanding
overwhelming punishment. No matter how hard you are
hit, no matter how many blows, you come back for another
round.
Martial Arts. By focusing on harmony of body, mind,
and spirit, you can flow between various forms of unarmed
combat, going beyond the bounds of physique alone.
Pummeling. You hone your body and become inhumanly
strong, capable of delivering punches that devastate your
opponents.
Wrestling. A well-rounded wrestler, you have a balanced
mix of offensive and defensive maneuvers and can easily
grapple your foes.

“The wilderness gives me solace as I
continue my grim purpose: to slay that
which would threaten the natural order.”

-Grim, monster slayer

You grew up on the fringes of your settlement, spending
more time in the wilderness beyond than in the safety
of your own homestead. In your youth you came to love
the serenity of rugged nature over the clamor of frivolous
settled life. You are more at home with the wolves and the
elk than with nobles and debutants. In your early adulthood
you made the decision to leave civilization completely in
exchange for a life in the wilds. Now, you defend your
heartland from supernatural monstrosities that threaten
to upset the balance of nature, and from the cruelties of
careless hunters or loggers who regard the natural cycle of
life with disrespectful indifference.
As you are more at home in the wilderness than in
civilization, you must determine how you intend to survive
on your own merits. Do you hone your physical prowess
until you can go toe to toe with the strongest warrior? Do
you sharpen your senses and your survival skills, stalking
prey through rugged wilds with more finesse than any cat
or bird? Maybe you tap into the Primal Source, using magic
to enhance your physical capabilities and to speak with the
animals whose home you share.

RANGER TRACKS
Bravery. You tap into your instinct to fight, flee, or freeze
in the face of danger, channeling this into fighting prowess.
Hunter. You are an unparalleled hunter of creatures both
natural and otherworldly, mastering both blade and bow.
Instinct. Your fighting instinct is sharper than the finest
steel and keener than an eagle’s eye.
Survivor. You know the natural world like the back of
your hand. Wherever you end up, you know how to survive.
Wilderness Warden. You learn primal magic and enhance
some of your primal spells as you gain skill as a magical
ranger.

“Only four guards? I’m offended.”

-Avery Gray, the “Little Shadow”

You were dealt a difficult hand. You grew up in society’s
unforgiving underbelly and from an early age you had to
resort to thievery or deception to find food and lodging.
Through trial and error, you learned what fools people
and what does not. Living in the shadows on the fringes of
society, you quietly observed as other, more skilled rogues
earned their illicit livelihoods. Seeking to emulate the most
successful thieves and con artists, you have learned how to
stay one step ahead of the law.
The most successful rogues know the other players in
their game: crime lords, skilled pickpockets, charlatans,
corrupt nobles, bribed guards, aspiring politicians, and the
pesky incorruptible altruists among such folk. You make
it your business to stay informed on all such individuals.
Are there any among these scoundrels whom you would
trust? Would you ever try to form a family of sorts with
any of these fellow rogues, or do you find that you only
trust your own intuition? Even if you would never trust
another rapscallion, what offer would convince you to work
alongside another individual or group to complete a job?
You should always ask yourself these questions, relying on
both logic and gut instinct as your answers might change on
a daily or even hourly basis.

RO GUE TRACKS
Con. You wear identities like clothes. Capable of
impersonating nearly anyone, you can pull elaborate cons.
Guild Affiliate. You are a talented poisoner and use
deadly reagents to enhance your weapon attacks.
Psyblade. You have an aptitude for psionic magic and use
this to silence your footfalls and improve your thievery.
Subtlety. Silent as a shadow, you infiltrate and exfiltrate
even well-guarded buildings with meticulous skill.
Stealth Archer. You are a master of raining death on your
enemies from a hidden vantage.

they say about one person’s trash. ‘Give
it to the tinkerer,’ they say. Now, hand it
over and I’ll make you a can opener. Or a
flamethrower, mayhap.”

-Ingrid Divrgubben, collector

You have never been able to keep from fidgeting, always
reaching for clockwork, screws, wires, and the like as you
seek to create new inventions or improve upon existing
ones. You always had a penchant for tinkering and exhibit
relentless ingenuity. You quickly gained notoriety as
someone who could always find a way to enhance anything
with mechanical parts. Unquenchably curious, you always
seek to understand how something works and how it might
be improved upon.
What is your medium of choice? Tinkerers often favor
metal and wood due to their versatility, but other substances
can make for interesting inventions as well. When you
invent something, what motivates you? Are you most
concerned with improving your quality of life by making
existing technology more effective, or are you looking
to break the confines of science as your contemporaries
understand it? Do you have some grand idea for a new
invention that will revolutionize the world?

TINKERER TRACKS
Alchemist. By developing potions and alchemical
reagents, you bolster your allies or damage your foes.

that implements weapons, gadgets, and enhanced defenses,
turning you into a tremendous front-line fighter.
Inventor. A skilled and creative inventor, you make all

“Tales reveal truth obscured by reality.
I only seek for my tales to ignite dreams
and to inspire hope. I carry the stories
of the world, spreading inspiration and
enchantment wherever I roam.”

-Flanagan Meadowbrook, renowned lorist

As far back as you can remember, you have always had a
deep love for music, storytelling, poetry, and mythology.
You had an equally strong desire to connect with others
through the bonds of music and artistic expression. Even
as a youngster, you were able to captivate audiences of
all ages with your colorful and flamboyant performances.
Through diligent practice, you have now mastered one or
more methods of performance, be it song or dance or poem.
Urged by intense wanderlust and the desire to see the world
in all its splendor, you travel far and wide, seeking to collect
more and grander stories wherever the path takes you.
What is your standard performance routine? Do you
typically sing, play an instrument, dance, or do all three at
once? Maybe you prefer to recite or improvise poetry for
your audience, or maybe you perform parlor tricks designed
to delight and instill a sense of wonder. Are you inspired by
whimsical stories with happy endings, by heart-wrenching
tragedies, or by tomes of history? How do these inspirations
appear in your performances?

TROUBADOUR TRACKS
Encore. Your energetic music or inspirational words rally
your allies and help your entire team move with enhanced
tactical coordination.
Jester. Your double-edged comments and savage quips
make you equally loved and hated among the common folk
and high nobility.
Legend Keeper. You maintain a powerful book of legends
and can summon creatures, heroes, and villains forth from
the pages of this book.
Lorist. Stories and research into myths have led you to
uncover the secrets of arcane or psionic magic, enhancing
your capacity to influence the world around you.
Lyricist. By improving your repertoire of music, poetry,
or stories, you can achieve a variety of effects in combat to
enhance your allies or unnerve your foes.

“The gods themselves handle their power
irresponsibly. Why any would put their
faith in such fickle beings is utterly beyond
me. If you want something done right, do it
yourself.”

-Dungrel Razevow, magic thief

You have always known that something is not right with
the world. Deity and demon alike seem utterly concerned
with their own plans and care not for the mortal world.
In response, you have grown increasingly bitter and have
finally taken it upon yourself to rewrite the world as you see
fit. By siphoning power from gods and planar entities, you
will become a god in your own right, and will act with more
justice and care than any before you.
Being a vessel is a dangerous affair. You are constantly
stealing traces of power from tremendous, unfathomable
planar entities. In so doing, you run the risk of their
retaliation. How do you recognize your own role in the
grand scheme of the cosmos? Do you steal power with a
sense of resignation that one day you will be caught and
punished, or do you boldly believe that eventually you
might become as powerful as a demigod yourself? Do you
steal from many different gods to hide your tracks, or do
you find yourself returning to the same deity over and over?
Would you ever enter into some form of mutual agreement
with a deity in exchange for a reliable stream of power, or is
this too limiting for your aspirations?
What exactly do you hope to achieve from taking godly
power into your own hands? If you pursue some kind of
abstract moral goal, how will you know when you have
achieved it? How much power do you need from the gods in
order to achieve this goal, and is there truly no safer way to
do so?
Or, maybe you steal from the gods just because you like it.

VESSEL TRACKS
Antiessence. You channel your corrupted Essence into a
scouring aura that damages and weakens your foes.
Planar Thievery. By stealing energy from spells and
planar creatures around you, you can enhance your own
powers.
Soul Graft. You use the external energy that you have
attached to your soul to enhance your physical stamina far
beyond what you could naturally achieve.
Divine Icons. Through thievery or trickery, you gain
access to one or more divine icons, siphoning power from
the gods.

“With honor as my shield and courage
as my sword, I face each battle with
unwavering resolve. I will clear my family’s
name, or will die trying.”

-Belozog Mishkova, repentant exile

Your path to becoming the warrior you are today was
one of absolute discipline. At a young age you were a
gifted athlete, playing in children’s sports or getting into
trouble pushing back against authority. As you grew, your
restlessness matured into a desire to protect those weaker
than you. Guided by great blademasters, you learned your
way around sword and spear, shield and bow. As a versatile
fighter, you are almost equally capable with any weapon and
any suit of armor, making you an invaluable soldier. You also
have a keen mind for battle tactics and act with disciplined
measure as you direct your foes away from your weaker
allies.
What motivates you when you don your armor? What
thoughts stick with you as you draw your weapons and
slog into the battlefield? How do your driving goals inform
your fighting style? If you are motivated by vengeance,
you might be an especially merciless fighter, whereas if you
desire to protect your loved ones, you might stay your blade
when you have the opportunity to do an enemy in, letting
compassion guide your hand as much as justice. Maybe you
have no scruples at all and will simply do what is asked of
you as long as the coins keep coming.

WA R R I O R T R A C K S

to your allies and can pick off enemies with deadly accuracy.
Commander. A master of warfare, you know how and

Protection. You lead the charge in combat, locking down

arsenal.

“Secrets wait to be embraced in the
whispers of primeval spirits. Curiosity
never hurt anyone brave enough to go
looking. So long as I draw breath and

our world and things beyond.”

-Lyla Greoghal, potions brewer

Signs that you were somehow different began at an early
age. Animals and plants might behave strangely around
you, either shying away or seeking to embrace you. Odd
weather phenomena seem to follow you about, though
perhaps this is coincidence. Whatever the case, the adults
in your community noticed these strange behaviors. In your
adolescence you felt a growing connection with the dark
and strange side of nature, leading you to look for answers
on your own. When a coven of witches found you and
invited you into their ranks, you began to truly master your
powers.
Witches often have many hobbies and one or two crafts
that they pursue to perfection. What are you most interested
in, and what do you fiddle with in your spare time? Does the
ephemeral quality of music fascinate you, or are you more
inclined to get your hands dirty making pottery or whittling
toys? Are you more interested in brewing potions or training
your familiar to achieve its maximum potential?

“No matter the adversity, I hold to my
convictions. I will bring light to the
shadow, food to the hungry, and comfort
to the afflicted. I will stand as a shield for
those who cannot defend themselves, and
a sentinel for the weary. For I am a good
boy.”

-Chauncey
You have always been a serious person. As a child you took
playing with a somber gravity and it greatly upset you
when another child broke the rules. In your adolescence
you were often dismayed by the lackadaisical nature of
your contemporaries. At some point along the way, you
found a cause to which you dedicated your very soul. This
transformation has led you to seek out a sacred order or
deity to whom you have pledged your allegiance. You now
strive to undertake acts of selflessness and zeal for the
betterment of the world in accordance with the tenets of
your faith.
You are undoubtedly dedicated to your beliefs with keen
resolve. How do you approach those who do not share your
convictions? Do you seek to persuade folk to adopt your
tenets as their own, or do you try to learn the beliefs of
other creatures and the reasons behind those beliefs? Maybe
you engage in a mix of both approaches.
