Player Handbook

Welcome

Welcome to the World of Arora, a gritty and immersive low-magic fantasy world that is perfect for tabletop RPG games. In this world, you will embark on a journey to explore the vast and largely uncharted island/subcontinent of Carthia, which is surrounded by the treacherous Medusi Sea. The island is home to many distinct sentient races, including the Cilanis, who are the civilized and technologically advanced inhabitants, and the Krulanis, who are the barbaric and often violent inhabitants of the wilds.

Arora is a world full of ancient and mysterious structures that date back to a time when the world was young and the gods walked the earth. You will encounter treacherous landscapes, ranging from dense and dark forests to barren wastelands that are home to unspeakable horrors. The world is also rife with political and religious conflicts, racial tensions, and power struggles, making it a challenging and dynamic setting for any RPG campaign.

As you journey through Arora, you will have the opportunity to uncover the secrets of the world's magic system, which is based on the use of Ferro Stones. These stones are rare and highly prized, and their use is a skill that only a select few possess. The magic system is shrouded in mystery, and there are many different beliefs and theories about how it works and where the stones come from.

In this world, you will be challenged to explore new lands, solve ancient mysteries, and navigate the complex political and social landscapes of the various civilizations that call Carthia home. The stories you create in Arora will be exciting, thought-provoking, and filled with unexpected twists and turns. So, pack your bags, sharpen your blades, and prepare for an adventure unlike any other.
