Introduction

Go to Even More Adventures! Ever dreamed of magnificent adventures, soaring in the skies with dragons, manipulating massive magical spells in order to call down meteorites, and even watching a deity show up in front of you? Have you ever longed to be a hero, one who can defeat everything in front of them endlessly? This book will give you the chance to become a hero such as those, carving your own legacy out to sit among the ones that have come before. The time has finally come for your adventure to become a legend! This book contains data for levels 11 to 15, the highest a humanoid can naturally attain. As such, there are a number of new spells, Combat Feats, and other abilities to make your character as powerful as the legends say. Of course, this power doesn't come overnight, and even getting to 10th level is an accomplishment in and of itself. However, what lies within is especially powerful, due to the requirements needed to attain them. Additionally, with new powers and abilities come new monsters to use them on. These new foes are quite powerful in their own rights, often strong enough to repel a full-frontal attack on their own. Some may be even more powerful than a whole party at 15th level, so proper tactics learned over your characters' long adventures, in addition to new abilities, will be the way forward. Additionally, the new class "Rider" appears in this book. Becoming a Rider allows you to take your favorite horse, mythical beast or magitech construct into battle and fight as a single unit in the wilderness, plains, and even the sky and sea. Also, the new "Valkyrie" race has been introduced, as well as 6



rules for creating a new character at higher levels of play in case a new player wishes to join an already-existing campaign. There's also additional rules for various other situations that may occur during play, such as structural destruction, connecting with celebrities and NPCs, and new lists of NPCs and regions. As long as you continue your journey, the adventure never ends. Time to carve out your own legend! Good luck! Precautions When Using This Book References to Core Rulebook I and Core Rulebook II When it is necessary to refer to “Core Rulebook I” or “Core Rulebook II” in this book it will be done in brackets “(see in Core Rulebook I)” or “(see CR I)”. Riders and Character Sheets With the new "Rider" class comes new Stunts to be used while riding. These Stunts have their own place on the character sheet already, so there's no need to try and add them in somewhere else. Additionally, "Rider" levels can be used for Monster Knowledge rolls, but only to determine the monster's stats, not it's Weak Point. Rider Mount Management In this book, the rules and data of the Mounts are posted along with Rider Stunts. This information is necessary to make sure the player is using the Rider's Stunts correctly. When using Mounts, it is recommended to copy the data of the Mount right off of the page, in order to have it handy when necessary.

Grassrunner Light Warrior



39



Character Commentary This is a grassrunner light warrior with weapons in both hands. One-handed weapon doesn’t do much damage, but holding in both two hands and attacking twice fixes that (two attacks will result in a -2 accuracy penalty). However, you can have problems while attacking enemies in powerful armor, so it is a good idea to have your friends magically support you when fighting such foes. You also will be a pretty good scout and because of that will be good at exploring and investigating. You can easily act alone. You can quickly escape enemies even if they find you. If you choose to use high level version, you will maximize your area of expertise. Combat feats [Fast Action] and [Shadow Sneak] will allow you to slip through battlefield and attack enemy wizards and bosses behind enemy lines. Your evasion will also increase significantly, to support hit-and-run fighting style. After battle is over you can find treasure location perceptively with combat feat [Treasure Hunt]. You will have two with adjusted Strength required so that they can be used by fencer such as you. Play smart and disturb enemies with you tricky fighting style!

Valkyrie's race ability Light Wings of the War-Maiden will allow ignore damage from falling. Another race ability Blessing of the War-Maiden can enhance mounts and other characters. Both are fitting to her Rider class. You will know [Elevated Attack] stunt which increases your extra damage by 2 points when riding. Combined with Power Strike, you can make powerful attacks that can surpass even two-handed weapons. In addition your mount can also attack which will also increase your damage output. Note that rider class is 1st level, but mount has 2nd level. Your combat feats will reduce your evasion, but techniques will reduce the incoming damage. High level variant will grant you many more Stunts and allow you to mount stronger mounts. You can increase your attack power even more by riding mounts with unique skills such as wyverns and dragons. If you purchase multiple Mount Contract Certificates, you can carry multiple Mounts as statues or store them in the spheres, so you can change the mounts you mount according to the situation. Defeat enemy with your overwhelming attack power and your mounts without allowing the enemy's counterattack!

Additional Data for PC Creation



A New Race Appears Below is listed the Valkyrie, a race new to Raxia. Additionally, there is a background chart included, allowing for even lowlevel Valkyries to be introduced into your game. New Races and Backgrounds Next you can find descriptions of new races Lildraken, Grassrunner, and Newman and their background tables used for Normal Creation (see Core Rulebook I).



Valkyrie These rare maidens are the result of a mutation before birth, similar to nightmares. Born only to humans, and only as females, they are commonly referred to as "Children of God". One possible origin of the valkyries is that they are reincarnated from souls that were absolutely pure, with no soulscars at all. However, why such souls were chosen to reincarnate, and not proceed on into the afterlife, is still unknown. Like humans, valkyries reach maturity at the age of 15, and commonly live to around 100 years of age. Though they appear similar to humans, there are patterns resembling small wings on the back and ankles of every valkyrie. These bloom into full wings of light when the racial feature [Light Wings of the War-Maiden] is used. Additionally, valkyries are adept at dealing with Mythical 51



Beasts and other animals and can help others with their racial feature [Blessing of the War-Maiden]. While they have been touched by a divine presence, there are those valkyries who do not choose the Priest class. However, many do at least take up arms in the name of some god, if not become fully fledged holy warriors. Starting Languages: Can read and write local language and Trade Common. Restricted Classes: None Racial Abilities [Light Wings of the War-Maiden]: If you would fall from any significant height, you can create a set of wings made out of light in order to slow your fall. So long as you're conscious, you can fall from any height and land without taking fall damage or falling prone. You can't move freely in the air as though you were flying, but you can hold on to other characters and equipment to a weight of 200 kg. [Blessing of the War-Maiden]: Offers a blessing to a character in the same area, other than the valkyrie or any mount the valkyrie may be using. Once per day, as a Minor Action, the valkyrie can give any target a +2 bonus to Fortitude and Willpower for 3 minutes (18 rounds). This effect only works on Humanoids, Animals, and Mythical Beasts.

High Level Characters



High Level Sample Characters Pages earlier present high-level sample characters. There is all you might need to start to play at high level when you don't have time to make a character. You can find hint on how to play these sample characters in their character commentary. Some abilities of those characters are introduced in this book, so make sure to read it before play. In addition, you can find character sheets of same characters at low level. You can use them as ready characters or for reference for character growth. High level sample characters have grown 30 times, have additional experience points of 41,000 points (total experience points of 44,000 points), have money cash of 75,000, and have 750 reputation. Character Growth up to 15th Level The following is a table showing the experience points both Major and Minor classes require in order to advance up to the maximum of 15th level. The parenthetical number is the total accumulated experience needed, assuming the character did not have any levels in the class to begin with.

Creating a High-Level Characters Here, you can find information how to create a high-level characters by giving experience points to the low level character created in Normal Creation (see Core Rulebook I). The creation procedure is basically the same. Guidelines for Creating a High-Level Characters When creating a higher-level character, the first thing that should be done is to figure out the Adventurer Level for the character to be created. Once this is determined, the following chart gives a number of statistics important to the character, such as Growth Points to spend on Ability Scores, Experience Points and Money to spend on Classes and Items, and Total Reputation. These are all added to the starting character's statistics, as rolled from their specific race's Background tables. High-Level Character Creation Avg.

56



Determining Ability Scores and Spending Growth As with creating a starting character, creating a high-level character requires the player to roll for their race's Ability Scores, and add them to the starting Skill, Body and Mind scores as determines by the character's Background. After, they then have a number of Growth Points, which are added to their stats as Growth Points normally are, which is to roll 2d and choose one of the stats shown by the dice. However, as high-level characters have a great number of Growth Points, and not everyone wants to sit around rolling 2d some 20, 30 or more times in a row, the table below splits up the number of Growth Points into six average results. This way, the player can just choose which of their six Ability Scores get which Growth Points added to them, and it will save a lot of time and rolling on everyone's part. Growth Rate Average Table Growth Points 15 18 23 30 39



57



Score ① 5 6 8 10 12



Score ② 4 5 6 7 9



Score ③ 2 3 3 4 6



Score ④ 2 2 3 4 5



Score ⑤ 1 1 2 3 4



Score ⑥ 1 1 1 2 3



Learning Classes Creating a high-level character begins the same way as creating a starting character, as mentioned previously. When it comes to the character's classes, determine the starting classes as per the character's Background, add the Experience Points given to the character at that point to the additional Experience Points as per the chart above, and then proceed to buy levels in both Major and Minor classes. However, in order to save time, there are also charts below that spend those Experience Points for you, whether to expedite a character being created on the fly, to aid in doing what may be seen as difficult math, or to help a player make a choice when they might be overwhelmed by their options. Along with each class shows how many Experience Points are being spent on levels in those classes, so that can be tracked appropriately. These tables assume each class is bought using Experience Points without having a level already. If you wish to advance in a class that you already have a level in from your Background, you can add the Experience Points that that level would have cost back to your Experience Points. For example, starting with a level in a Major Class would refund 1000 Experience Points, while each level in a Minor Class refunds 500 Experience per level. Additionally, these samples are just that, and may be changed so long as the Experience Point totals remain the same.

Important Note! Classes to Learn! When creating characters, it is important that someone in the adventuring party has mastered the Scout and Sage classes (though it doesn't have to be the same character with both classes). Without Scouts, the party will have trouble navigating their way through cities and dungeons and will almost certainly be on the backfoot when it comes to monsters and combat initiative. Without Sages, it's difficult to figure out what kind of monsters you may be fighting, and the party can be taken advantage of by attacks and defenses that remain unknown. Additionally, searching through ruins and labyrinths becomes significantly more difficult without the knowledge of a Sage handy. Please consult with the other players when creating characters, in order to make sure your adventuring party has all of the appropriate classes covered!



Language Acquisition Learning languages as high-level characters is the same as learning languages as a starting character. However, if a character ends up taking levels in either the Sage or Bard classes, these classes offer the chance to learn additional languages. Exactly which languages the character learns through these classes is up to the player.



62



Determining Adventurer Level, HP and MP At this point, enough information should be available to determine the character's Adventurer Level, HP, and MP. Remember, Adventurer Level is the highest level of all classes the character has levels in, while HP is the character's total Vitality plus three times their Adventurer Level, and MP is still the character's Spirit added to three times the combined levels of all spellcasting classes the character has. Learning Combat Feats A high-level character's Combat Feats begin with those learned as a starting character. Once the starting Combat Feats are determined, new Combat Feats are picked, up to a maximum based upon the character's Adventurer Level as shown in the table below. However, this does not consider those Combat Feats learned automatically (such as [Chain Attack] and [Throw Attack] when a level in Grappler is taken). Don't forget to list those Combat Feats as well. Combat Feats by Adventurer Level Adventurer Level Number of Combat Feats 1-2 1 3-4 2 5-6 3 7-8 4 9 - 10 5 11 - 12 6 13 - 14 7 15 8



63



Automatically Acquired Combat Feats Class

It also contains additional rules for situations that were not explained in “Core Rulebook II”.



64



Purchasing Equipment and Spending Reputation Equipment can be freely purchased for high-level characters by using the large amount of money and Reputation. These stores of wealth can be used to purchase a lot of higher rank magical items and equipment, but don't forget to purchase the equipment needed for your classes. When purchasing Accessories, it's helpful to not only copy the name, but also the effect of the accessory (if any) onto the character sheet as well. When running low on money, it's not a bad idea to pick up some healing items and consumables, such as potions and Mako Stones, all at once. Finishing Up At this point, once the character is outfitted with equipment, they should be ready to begin play. Unlike starting characters, high-level characters are able to tackle much more difficult challenges, whether it be combat against a fierce dragon or arguing in the court of a king. Go out and enjoy the adventures that await!

For clarification, the term "riding" is referring to any time a character is on a horse, motorcycle, or other object or being that is capable of moving on its own separate from the mounted character. Riding and Mounts As mentioned above, riding is when a character is on a horse, motorcycle or other object or being that moves on its own. Objects and animals capable of being ridden are collectively referred to as "Mounts". When riding, it's assumed that the character riding has some control of the mount, whether it be the speed of the mount, the direction the mount is going, etc.



Riders and Jockeys While anyone can ride on a horse, for example, and be called a rider, there are those who can take the time and master everything there is to know about their mounts. These gifted individuals are better known as "Jockeys," having mastered the Rider class. Rider Restrictions Characters who wish to mount up, but do not have levels in the Rider class, are limited in the mounts they can choose. Specifically, such riders are limited to Horses, War Horses, and Manabikes (both normal and minibikes). Additionally, they are unable to do much more than steer their mount. A jockey, on the other hand, is able to ride nearly any mount, so 67



long as their Rider class level is equal to or higher than the Mount's Appropriate Level. Benefits of Riding The most obvious benefit of riding a mount is being able to move using the Movement Speed and movement methods of the mount in question, regardless of the rider's own Movement Speed. For example, riding a Pegasus will allow the rider to not only move at the Pegasus' speed, but also fly through the sky at the Pegasus' Flying speed. If the character has levels in the Rider class, they can use their Adventurer Level to enhance the skills of the mount. Additionally, jockeys have access to Riding Stunts, special techniques only Riders can perform, coaxing out the full power of the mount.



Strengthening Mounts Whenever a jockey is riding a mount, they can push the mount to its limits, drawing out more from the mount than nonjockeys. When the jockey is riding a mount, the mount's "Mount Level" is the same as the jockey's Adventurer Level. If the jockey's Adventurer Level is higher than the maximum value of the mount's Appropriate Level, then the mount's Mount Level is considered to be the maximum value instead. Adventurer Level Reference Under the revised riding rules, the mount will now use the jockey's Adventurer Level as long as the jockey meets the minimum required level to ride. As a result, the jockey and mount will tend to be much closer in level, making the mount much easier to handle after this revision.



68



Perception when Riding and Commanding the Mount Each mount has a set perception, separate from that of the jockeys. If a rider or jockey gives a command to a mount, and the mount cannot understand the command due to a lack of perception (i.e., it cannot find the destination or appropriate target), then the command will end up ignored. Any bonuses and penalties to perception will be handled separately between jockey and mount.



Restrictions when Riding When riders and jockeys mount up, they are bound by certain restrictions. Riders, for example, must take up the method of control (whether reins, handlebars, or something else) in both hands, and cannot use either hand for something other than controlling their mount. Jockeys, on the other hand, are able to ride one-handed, and so can use their other hand for weapons, items, spells, magical implements, etc.



Riding Behavior and Riding Checks Normally, riders and jockeys do not need to make any sort of check while riding or controlling mount. However, there may be special circumstances where the GM may rule that the mount is becoming skittish, unstable, or something along those lines. In such cases, the GM may call for a Riding check in order to keep the mount under control. Riding Checks when not Mounted Even if the jockey is not riding the mount when the GM calls for a Riding check, if the jockey and mount are in close proximity to each other is it assumed that the jockey has control of the mount in some manner (reins in hand, holding 69



handlebars, etc.). In such cases, the Riding check would be made as though the jockey was actually riding the mount. Mount Behavior If a mount must make a check while away from a jockey, they have a standard value given as part of their data, and this standard value is what gets used. In this situation, the mount's level is calculated using the Adventurer Level of its jockey. If the mount needs to make a check and there is no given reference value, assume the value is equal to the Mount Level.



Falling and Mounts If either the rider (or jockey) or the mount would fall over while riding, the rider falls prone and will take falling damage. In this situation, the fall distance is equal to 1/20th the distance moved in the previous turn (rounded up), with a minimum of 2m. As with regular falling damage, the character may attempt a Tumble check to reduce the damage taken from falling off of a mount.



Passengers and Double Riding A rider or jockey can have another character riding on the same mount. Such a character is known as a "Passenger", and riding with a passenger is "Double Riding". Even with a passenger, a mount does not change its Movement Speed or types of movement, and the mount's data does not change. Additionally, both the rider and passenger will move at the mount's Movement Speed, taking their Moves simultaneously. It takes a Major Action for a character to either mount or dismount as a passenger.



70



When double riding, all riders (including jockeys) receive a -4 penalty to all checks. In addition, passengers cannot use their hands for anything but holding on to the mount, and the only Action they may take, Major or Minor, is to dismount the mount. Jockeys Unlike other riders, having levels in the Rider class and becoming a jockey will help a character get the best out of anything they choose to mount. There is also the possibility to join the Riders' Guild and rent a mount, purchase a Mount Contract Certificate, and shop for other rider- and mountrelated equipment.



Mount Contract Certificates and Renting Mounts Jockeys are able to rent mounts from the Riders' Guild, so long as they have a Mount Contract Certificate. This certificate shows that the character has the requisite knowledge and skill to ride that particular type of mount, and so for each different mount offered, a new Mount Contract Certificate must be purchased. However, once this is taken care of, that mount may be rented any number of times. Returning the Mount At the end of the session, mounts rented from the Riders' Guild must be returned. However, if the mount's HP is 0 or less, the Guild will look down on the character as someone who can't protect their mount and will give the character a Dishonor Mark.



71



Mount Upkeep Whether buying a mount to own, or renting one from the Guild, upkeep and maintenance costs will need to be paid. To keep bookkeeping simple, the upkeep and maintenance costs for a mount is the same as the PC for both food and shelter. Magitech-Type mounts, as well as those that are animated statues, do not require such upkeep and maintenance costs. About Mount Upkeep These costs are not paid on a session-by-session basis, but rather only when a PC would be eating or sleeping.



Mount Control and Strengthening a Mount Another benefit of being a jockey is being able to control the mount with one hand, leaving the other open. Additionally, the jockey is more accurately able to command the mount, due to their training. Also, when the jockey is riding a mount, the mount's "Mount Level" is the same as the jockey's Adventurer Level. If the jockey's Adventurer Level is higher than the maximum value of the mount's Appropriate Level, then the mount's Mount Level is considered to be the maximum value instead.



Learning and Using Stunts By taking levels in the Rider class, the character is able to learn different Stunts that they can have the mount perform. For each level in the Rider class the character has, they may learn one Stunt, as listed in the Rider's class description later on.

Able to control a mount with one hand Minor Action instead of a Major Action to mount or dismount Make Riding Checks Use your Adventurer Level instead of the mount's Mount Level Perform Stunts Rent a mount free of charge from the Riders' Guild with appropriate Mount Contract Certificate



Mounts Definition of a Mount A mount is an object or character intended to be controlled by a rider, through holding a bridle and reins or a control stick, riding, and issuing commands. All mounts are operated by a single rider, moving, and acting based upon the rider's intentions. Additionally, jockeys can also enhance a mount, and have learned how to get the most out of any mount they ride.



Riding Conditions and Proper Level In order to ride a mount properly, the rider's levels in the Rider class must at least equal the mount's minimum Appropriate Level, if not higher. Mount Ownership In order to protect a mount from being stolen or manipulated by others, the jockey needs to establish ownership of the mount they're using. In doing so, the mount will recognize the jockey as the one in control and will refuse to work with others. Mounts owned by the jockey will exclusively respond to the jockey's commands, and no others. In order to show knowledge of the mount and to establish a contract with the Riders' Guild, the jockey needs to have a Mount Contract Certificate. However, to show ownership of a specific mount, the jockey also needs to have a Mount 74



Proprietary Certificate. One of the benefits of the Proprietary Certificate is the jockey can transform the mount in question into a statue form.



Securing Ownership and Certificates The Mount Contract Certificate is a paper showing that the character has a contract with a particular mount. The Contract Certificate does not need to be equipped, just in the character's possession. When renting a mount at the Riders' Guild, the character presents the Contract Certificate and signs a contract in order to temporarily become the mount's master. When making a contract, a simple ritual is performed, and a magical mark is engraved onto the mount in order to show ownership. This contract lasts until the mount is returned to the Riders' Guild, at which point the mark disappears. If either the jockey or mount die, the magical mark is not removed. A jockey cannot rent a mount from the Riders' Guild without a Mount Contract Certificate. The name of the mount is attached to the certificate as well, so there is no generic Mount Contract Certificate, but a character may have a Horse Contract Certificate, or a Draconet Contract Certificate. Each mount's contract is sold by the Riders' Guild, and the price of each Certificate is listed in the Mount Data. Mount Contract Sphere For Magitech-Type mounts, the Riders' Guild offers magispheres instead of certificates. However, the uses are practically the same as a certificate.



75



Proprietary Certificates and Spheres If a character ends up actually purchasing a mount from the Riders' Guild, and not just renting one, the character is given a Proprietary Mount Certificate or Proprietary Mount Sphere. This is proof that a character owns a particular mount. The Proprietary Mount Certificate is prepared for an individual mount, and the character's name is added to the Certificate as well, so it would end up being "(Character Name)'s Proprietary Mount Certificate". Even if someone else has a Mount Contract Certificate for the same type of mount, the mount cannot have the Guild's seal ritual performed on it, and it will not listen to anyone other than its owner. Additionally, any mount whose owner has a Proprietary Certificate (or Sphere) increases all sections' maximum HP by 10. Exclusive Certificates and Normal Contracts Purchasing a mount from the Riders' Guild doesn't preclude the jockey from continuing to rent mounts from the Guild. In fact, it is possible to have an owned mount and a rental mount from the Guild at the same time. While a rental mount still needs to abide by the rules in the contract with the Riders' Guild, a purchased mount does not need to abide by the same rules. Mounts without Contracts Without a Mount Contract Certificate, a mount is not considered to have any sort of owner, Riders' Guild or otherwise. However, even without a Certificate, a character riding a mount is temporarily considered the mount's owner. Wild animals, having not been trained by the Riders' Guild and used to having a rider, cannot be considered mounts as 76



they are. However, with the GM's permission, a character can try and communicate with the animal in order to turn it into a mount. In that case, the character can receive a Proprietary Mount Certificate when registering that mount with the Riders' Guild free of charge.



Ownership Restrictions Mount ownership remains valid as long as Jockey keeps the Mount Contract Certificate and a Mount Proprietary Certificate. However, Jockey can have active Stunt effects on one mount at the same time. Transfer of Ownership If you have multiple Mount Contract Certificates and Mount Proprietary Certificates, you can carry around multiple mounts as statues or in enclosures or ride them as jockey see fit. Even if jockey takes hold of another jockey’s Mount Contract Certificate, the ownership will not be transferred. Neither Mount Contract Certificate nor Mount can be used by others. However, jockey who does not have its Mount Contract Certificate will not be able to mount contracted mount and will not be able to perform stunt with it. If you lose your Mount Contract Certificate, you will need to pay the same amount to reissue it. Ownership and Rent of Multiple Beasts If you own different types of Mount Contract Certificates or Mount Contract Spheres, you can rent them all from the Rider’s Guild, one body at a time. However, you cannot control more than one mount at the same time. 77



Mount Statues A jockey can have a mount turned into a statue by affixing a Mount Certificate, Proprietary Certificate or other paperwork used in the contract ritual (such as a Reduction Tag) directly to the mount. In doing so, the mount becomes a statue and shrinks to be about the size of one's palm, making it impervious to harm and easy to carry around. However, the jockey must own the mount in question, and if they lose ownership of the mount, it cannot be recalled from a statue form. A mount in statue form cannot move on its own and is treated as though time has not passed at all once recalled from statue form. In order to recall the mount, the attached tag must be removed from the statue. It is greatly advised that the statue be placed on the ground before the tag is removed, as the mount will return to normal size upon tag removal. Difference Between Certificates and Reduction Tags When turning a mount into a statue, or recalling a mount from a statue, if a Mount Certificate or Proprietary Certificate is used in the process, it is a Major Action to either affix or remove the Certificates. However, when using any of the Reduction Tags (I to III), it is only a Minor Action to affix or remove the Tag. Storing and Recalling Magitech-Type Mounts Magitech-type mounts can be stored and recalled similar to other mounts, though the specifics differ. For Magitech-type mounts, Mount Spheres, Proprietary Spheres, and Manabike Storage Spheres are all built around a particular mount, which is stored within the magisphere. In order to either store or 78



recall a Magitech-type mount, the jockey must spend 1 MP while holding the appropriate magisphere. This MP may come from a Mako Stone, if so desired. As with Contract Certificates, Mount Spheres and Proprietary Spheres require a Major Action to either store or recall a mount, while the Manabike Storage Sphere only uses a Minor Action. Reduction Tag Interference Reduction Tags aren't the strongest of magics, so when two mounts turned into statues via these Tags are in close proximity to each other, the magic of one Tag will interfere with the other, causing both mounts to revert to normal size. Because of this interference, a jockey may only turn one mount into a statue via Reduction Tags. However, the magic in the Reduction Tags does not interfere with any Certificates or Spheres, allowing the jockey to use those to carry more stored mounts with them. Promoting Mounts Horses purchased and owned by jockeys may undergo special training at the Riders' Guild, and if successful can be trained as War Horses. These War Horses can be trained further, becoming Legendary Horses, and finally Divine Horses. However, in order to receive such training, both rider and horse must be a part of the Riders' Guild, and the appropriate training costs must be paid. Once this is taken care of, it will be assumed that the training happens during downtime between adventures, and the mount will be promoted at the beginning of the next session. 79



Even if a mount is promoted this way, the original Proprietary Certificate for the mount will still be valid proof of ownership. Promotion Expenses Before Promotion After Promotion Cost (G) Horse War Horse 7,500 War Horse Legendary Horse 15,000 Legendary Horse Divine Horse 40,000 Death of a Mount Here, we will explain what to do if the mount dies.



Loss of a Mount If a mount rented from the Riders' Guild is reported as deceased, the rider who rented it will receive a Dishonor Mark, showing that they were neglectful enough to allow a mount to die. However, no other compensation is required. If a mount that was owned by the rider dies, not only is the mount lost, but the corresponding Proprietary Certificate/Sphere is also rendered useless and cannot be used to create a contract with another mount. Magitech-Type Mounts and Destruction Magitech-type mounts are not considered to be either alive or dead, even when functioning. If a Magitech-type mount's HP reaches 0, however, it is considered to be immediately destroyed. If the mount was rented from the Riders' Guild and returned while destroyed, the rider will receive a Dishonor Mark just the same as they would with other mounts.



80



Reviving Dead Mounts As a general rule, a mount cannot be revived using the "Resurrection" spell once dead. However, if both the GM and PC can come to an agreement, "Resurrection" may just work to resuscitate a dead mount. In doing so, the mount does receive soulscars as a PC would. Additionally, Resurrecting a mount rented from the Riders' Guild will still give the rider a Dishonor Mark upon return.



Mounts with Multiple Sections Mounts with multiple sections do not die until either all sections have their HP reduced to 0, or the main section has its HP reduced to 0. If a non-main body section has its HP reduced to 0 and it fails its Death Check, it will be treated as a Disabled Section. Disabled Sections cannot recover HP, nor have effects such as "Awaken" used on them. However, the item "Secret Medicine of Section Regeneration" will restore the Disabled Section to full functionality. Returning a rented mount with Disabled Sections to the Riders' Guild will give the rider a Dishonor Mark. "Secret Medicine of Section Regeneration" This magical tincture will restore all Disabled Sections (other than the Main Section) to 1 HP and restores their functions. The medicine takes 10 minutes to fully work. It is possible to buy some Secret Medicine from the Riders' Guild and use it on mounts just before returning them to the Guild. While not the most ethical thing to do, it will allow the return of a mount without giving the renter a Dishonor Mark like returning a mount with Disabled Sections would. Additionally, this medicine can be sold directly to the Guild, 81



and will almost always fetch straight market value due to the potency of the medicine combined with how rare it is to find. Dishonor Marks If a mount rented from the Riders' Guild dies over the course of an adventure, the rider does not get reimbursed for the money they paid to rent the mount. Additionally, a Dishonor Mark is not only attached the rider's rental account but is also spread to other Riders' Guild locations. Dishonor Marks on a rental account show that the rider is reckless and has let a mount die under their control before.



Disadvantages of Dishonor Marks If a rider attempts to rent a mount from the Riders' Guild and they have a Dishonor Mark on their account, then an additional charge is applied before the rental can occur. This additional fee is determined by not only the price of the Mount Contract, but also which type of Dishonor Mark the prospective rider has. For example, if the rider has the Dishonor Mark of Horse Killer, then they will need to pay an extra 125 Gamels in order to rent a horse, but an additional 500 gamels to rent a manabike. Dishonor Marks Type of Mark Horse Killer Abandoner Guild Ruiner Mount Killer Corpse Rider



Additional Fee 0.5x 1x 2x 3x Temporary Banishment



Rep Required for Expunging 20 30 50 70 100 82



Increasing Dishonor If a rider continues to have mounts die or be destroyed under their watch, the type of Dishonor Mark will change, increasing in severity. Not only will additional rental fees continue to be applied, but the Reputation needed to get the Dishonor Mark expunged increases. In increasing severity, the Marks go from “Horse Killer” to "Abandoner", "Guild Ruiner", "Mount Killer", and finally "Corpse Rider". Temporary Banishment A character who has earned the most disgraceful Dishonor Mark, "Corpse Rider", will be banned temporarily from the Riders' Guild. Not only will they not be able to rent or purchase any mounts, but they are also prohibited from purchasing any other items from the Guild as well.



Removing Dishonor Marks Dishonor Marks are treated as titles offering 0 Reputation, but they cannot be removed by the PC without permission from the Riders' Guild. In order to expunge a Dishonor Mark, the PC will have to pay Reputation. The PC may pay Reputation at any time in order to remove the Dishonor Mark, but even if the Reputation is paid immediately upon death of the mount, the character still has to wait until the next session to be able to rent another mount from the Guild. Not all Dishonor Marks can be removed through payment of Reputation. However, most Dishonor Marks can be expunged, though the payment of Reputation should be kept track of. For example, removing the most basic Dishonor Mark, "Horse Killer" would be noted under Reputation purchases as "Horse Killer (1st time, expunged)". 83



As with most Reputation payments, paying Reputation to remove Dishonor Marks will result in a loss of Total Reputation. Removing Higher Dishonor Marks If a character has a higher Dishonor Mark, then they will only drop down to the next highest Dishonor Mark when paying Reputation to expunge Dishonor Marks. For example, if a character has the "Guild Ruiner" Dishonor Mark and pays the appropriate Reputation to have that removed (in this case, 50 Reputation), then their Dishonor Mark will drop to "Abandoner", rather than be removed entirely. If the character has enough unspent Reputation, they can remove more than one Dishonor Mark at a time. As with most Reputation payments, paying Reputation to remove Dishonor Marks will result in a loss of Total Reputation. Re-Earning Dishonor Marks Once a character has their Dishonor Marks fully expunged but managed to have a rental mount killed or destroyed under their watch again, they will earn the lowest Dishonor Mark, "Horse Killer", again. To distinguish this from the last Dishonor Mark, it should be noted as "Horse Killer (2nd Time)".



84



GM Guide: Handling Mounts During Gameplay As GM you must be aware of the extent to which the mounts can go. For example, it's difficult, if not nearly impossible, to have a mount in the narrow passageways of a barrow mound, nor would it be socially acceptable to ride a mount into a highlevel aristocrat's mansion. Players with the Rider class may feel that their choice of class is wasted if they are constantly being placed in positions where having a mount is unacceptable. In order to prevent such feelings, it is suggested that the GM incorporate scenarios where having a Rider in the party would be useful, and have places designed for a Rider character to be able to mount up and use their class to the fullest. As a player, it should be your prerogative to actively devise ways to allow your Rider skills to be useful, such as encouraging an enemy into a larger arena where a mount would be usable. If you have a small dungeon or one-shot session or special scenario that doesn’t mount-friendly, talk to your players that plan to use rider class, so everyone is on board.



85



Mounted Combat



Notes Regarding Mounts in Combat When a rider brings a mount into combat, there are a few changes to the flow of combat. This section will go into detail regarding those changes.



Riding in Battle When engaging in combat, both the mounted PC and mount can actively participate. The mounted PC and mount are considered to have the same coordinates, and the movement type and speed used are those of the mount. While riding, the mount moves and performs Major Actions as commanded by the rider. As a general rule, if the mount is nor being ridden, it will not move or take Major Actions on its own, but will act on its own instincts. Just like a monster with multiple sections, a mount and rider can act independently from each other, and are targeted separately for effects.



Mount Weaknesses Just as with most monsters, mounts do have weaknesses, though specifics depend upon the type of mount. If an enemy spellcaster appears, it is a possibility that these weaknesses might be exploited. Unlike monsters, whose weaknesses are found through a Monster Knowledge check, a mount's weaknesses are 86



discovered through a contested roll at the start of the battle. The jockey's Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus is compared to the character with the highest Magic Power among the enemies, and if the jockey is successful, the mount's weaknesses are unusable. However, if the monsters win, then all enemies (not just the spellcaster) may take advantage of the mount's weaknesses. This check is made during the "Begin Combat" step. Actions While Riding in Combat



Rider Behavior The actions available for a rider to take in combat depends upon the mount's movement. For example, if the mount takes a Normal Move, then the rider is also limited to actions available after a Normal Move, and so on. Weapon Restrictions while Riding As a general rule, Wrestling type weapons cannot be used while mounted. Additionally, at least one hand must be used to control the mount, so any two-handed weapon cannot be used while mounted. Mounting and Dismounting In order for a character to mount up or dismount from a mount during combat, if that character does not have any levels in the Rider class, then they must mount up or dismount as a Major Action. However, if they have any levels in the Rider class, then these actions become Minor Actions. A character may choose to mount up or dismount either before or after the mount's movement, but can only choose to either mount up or dismount once per turn. 87



Sealing and Unsealing Statues in Combat For more details on sealing a mount into a statue, unsealing a mount from a statue, or calling a mount from a magisphere, see "Mount Statues".



Behavior of Mounts in Combat Mounts can, as their Major Action, use melee attacks and special abilities appropriate to the combat at hand. If there are any abilities that can be used as Minor Actions, they will be noted as such. Any special abilities the mount has are considered to be those able to be used after a Normal Move, unless otherwise noted. Generally, anything a PC can do during combat, a mount can also do. For example, attacking with ranged weapons or magic are actions that would require the mount to take a Limited Move. Mounts with Multiple Sections For mounts with multiple sections, only one section can be commanded per turn, but that section is able to use both Major and Minor Actions. It is possible to command different sections over the course of multiple turns. In order to command multiple sections in the same turn, Stunts such as "Lion's Fury" or "Versatility" must be used.



Forcefully Dismounting In situations where either the rider or mount is knocked prone, the rider falls off the mount, and is forced to stop riding. Similarly, if either the rider or the mount is forced to move, the rider will become unmounted as they will be at different coordinates after the forced movement. For example, if only the rider (or mount) is forced to move, the mount (or rider) will remain at its original coordinates, and the rider will 88



fall prone after moving. If both the rider and mount are forced to move to the same coordinates, however, the rider will remain mounted. Notes on [Throw Attack] and Similar Effects When using [Throw Attack], or any other effect that involves counting the number of sections a character has, for convenience the rider and mount are considered to have the same number of sections as the mount normally + 1 (for the rider). When a Rider or Mount Loses Consciousness If either the rider or mount loses consciousness (i.e. from being put to sleep magically, having their HP drop to 0, etc), the rider falls prone off of the mount. If the rider is the one falling unconscious, they may not Tumble in order to prevent falling damage. Passengers If a rider is forcefully dismounted and would fall prone, any passengers that may be riding along will also fall prone off of the mount.



89



Riders without Rider Class Levels When a rider who does not have class levels in the Rider Class participates in combat, the rider themselves are in a state where both hands are unable to be used. Without a hand free to guide them, mounts cannot perform Major Actions in combat when mounted by such a rider. Enemy Riders and Mounts When an enemy with Rider levels appears, the rider and mount are considered two different monsters for determining Initiative, Reputation and Weakness. However, the handling of [Throw Attack] and similar effects, as well as forced dismounting, are treated the same as they would for a PC. Also, defeating both a mount and rider will offer the chance for loot from both enemies.



90



Supplemental Rules New Skills Detect Calculation: Adventurer level + Intelligence modifier Use Time: 10 seconds (1 round) Effect: Allows you to see through illusions, detect lies, and see through falsehoods. Details: If you have a suspicion that something may not be what it seems, the GM may allow you to try and Detect the truth. If successful, you can: • • •



•



see through illusions and disguises; know if someone is trying to lie to you; notice inconsistencies in stories (such as someone pretending to be an amnesiac, or a high-level adventurer pretending to be a fledgeling); tell if a Barbaros is taking human form.



The target number for this skill is usually determined by the GM. In the case of trying to see through a disguise, it is a contested roll against the original Disguise check.



91



Using Detect in Play If players go around trying to Detect everything they come across, illusory or not, the progress of the game will grind to a halt. However, never allowing players a chance to catch disguised opponents is no fun either. The GM needs to weigh the options of using the skill, and could only allow it where there is an actual possibility of discovering falsehoods. At the same time, if PCs never think to look for illusions and disguises, or players blindly accept testimony that their characters would notice as false, it may not be a bad idea for the GM to call for a Detect check.



Discovering the Nature of Hidden Monsters Some monsters, like mimics and gargoyles, are able to disguise themselves using their special abilities to seem like they are something else. The Detect skill can be used to uncover these monsters while hiding, as well as other NPCs using magic to hide their true appearance. In these situations, the GM should make a Detect check in secret for each of the PCs, allowing players whose characters succeed to make Monster Knowledge checks after they determine that something is wrong. The target number for these Detect checks should be based on the information and clues that the PCs have come across, being easier if PCs have done their work and are attentive to their surroundings, or having a higher target number if the characters are doing little more than blindly flailing around. As a general rule, Detect checks are something the GM calls for. No matter how suspicious an NPC may act, Detect checks are not something the PC can actively ask the GM to roll for. 92



Riding Calculation: Rider level + Dexterity modifier Use Time: Instant Effect: Maintains control over a mount during difficult circumstances. Details: When riding a mount in difficult circumstances, such as "riding across a log bridge", or "riding through deep mud in a rainstorm", a successful check allows you to stay on your mount. A failed check will halt movement, and in some situations may even throw the rider off the mount. Taking Minor Actions as Major Actions In addition to such actions like mounting or dismounting a mount, actions that can be done as Minor Actions may also be performed as a character's Major Action for the turn. This includes such actions as "Receiving a Weapon" or "Standing from Prone". However, this does not allow for circumventing a "once per turn" limitation on some Minor Actions by performing them both as a Minor Action and a Major Action. Also, some Minor Actions are specifically only able to be performed as Minor Actions, and so cannot be performed as a Major Action.



New Range/Area: Breakthrough Area: Breakthrough The user of an effect with Area: Breakthrough will move in a straight line to any point within the range of that character's Full Move, and will affect all characters within that path. While 93



using an effect with Area: Breakthrough, the user is unaffected by movement obstruction, and will always perform a Full Move (even if they don't move their full distance). The specified end point must be visible before using an effect with Area: Breakthrough, and such effects cannot be used while already engaged in melee with enemies. If the center of a battlefield is included in the path, the effect is treated the same as an effect with Area: Line. Enhanced Racial Features (11th Level) The following are further enhancements for racial features once a character's Adventurer Level is 11th or higher. Typically, there is one ability that is preferred to be used over others due to ease of use, and so those will be listed below. Valkyries will also have their 6th Level Enhanced Ability shown below as well. Use This as Option Rule Please use this rule as an optional rule. If using these rules, refer to Core Rulebook II for 6th level enhancements.

Destroying Structures During the session, there may arise a situation where the players want to destroy some structure, like a box, building, door, etc. The following section covers rules for such situations.



Structure Data Each structure has a thickness, Defense and HP. Depending upon the materials and tools used, it may be impossible to critically damage a structure, let alone actually do any damage 96



at all. Keep in mind that a structure's Defense is only half as effective against magical damage.



Destroying Structures Destroying structures is similar to attacking monsters, except the structure cannot use any sort of Evasion to dodge attacks. Essentially, this means that a character will hit a structure on any roll except double 1's. However, a character can only damage a structure once per attack per round (so [Dual Technique], [Chain Attack], and other methods of attacking multiple times allows multiple instances of damaging structures). If a structure isn't taken down with one attack, it can be attacked again until destroyed. Poison-type, Curse-type, Disease-type, and Psychic-type effects deal no damage to structures.



Structures and Magic in Combat During combat, it's likely that a large area of effect will inevitably include structures, such as walls and doors. In situations like this, typically if there is no intention to destroy the structures, they will not be damaged. The GM may change this if they feel it necessary, though.



List of Structures Information for typical structures is listed below, and should be referred to when necessary. However, should the circumstances warrant it, the GM may choose to increase the thickness of a structure, increasing its HP accordingly.



Wooden Door (Thickness: 2 cm) 97



Wooden Door (Thickness: 2 cm) Defense: 6 HP: 20 No Criticals: Bow Summary: A relatively sturdy door often found in dungeons and private homes. It can be reinforced with iron, making it more robust.

Personal Connection with NPCs By using the Reputation currently available, it is possible to create a personal bond between a PC and an NPC. Connections are treated the same way as Honored Items, tracked as "Connection: **/(NPC's name)", where // is the particular level of the bond. In order to form a connection with an NPC, the PC must refer to the chart below and spend the appropriate Reputation on that person in order to create a bond. If a PC is looking to bond with a particular character, they must first create a connection by knowing each other, even if it's only in passing. This is to prevent PCs from attempting to bond with characters they haven't met just yet. Deeper connections with that particular NPC are paid from the PC's Reputation towards increasing that bond to the level of "Friend", and later, "Confidant". Aquaintance The most basic of bonds, this shows that the NPC has acknowledged the character as someone of note, and will 101



usually remember the character by name. There may be a working relationship, where the NPC can trust the PC to take care of some simple business or task, but that's about the extent of the connection. Friend The PC and NPC have gotten to know each other, and will often allow the other to call them by nicknames, or at least be less formal with each other. The NPC and PC have a relationship close enough to help the other out in case of dire straits, but won't go so far as to put themselves out when doing so. The NPC positively reacts to hearing about the PC, and will often seek them out first if the strength of an adventurer is needed to handle some business or other. Confidant The PC and NPC are very close, able to share deep feelings both publicly and privately. Private worries and secrets are freely discussed, as is otherwise confidential information. A bond this deep is a relationship that has been tested and found to be strong, even in the face of adversity. In case of a crisis, the NPC will do everything in their power to help their friend out, and will wholly trust the PC with their life if necessary. Lost Connection A connection becomes strained if there is action taken against the NPC that is extremely detrimental, whether physically, socially, financially, etc. A loss of trust and faith in the PC will cause an existing connection to drop one level, alienating the NPC and causing a loss of Total Reputation. However, this does not apply if the PC was acting in good faith, and only caused harm to their NPC friend through the whims of fate. 102



If the NPC dies, there is no lost connection between them and the PC. However, at that point the PC cannot spend Reputation and build a stronger connection. Utilizing NPC Connections If a PC and NPC become particularly close during the course of a session, the GM may wish to grant the PC a connection with that NPC. To do so, the appropriate Reputation should also be given out, in order to allow the PC to pick up that connection. If the NPC is one created by the GM, and not one listed below, the GM should use the chart to determine an appropriate amount of Reputation in order to connect with a PC. If the PC has a connection with an NPC, the GM should actively try to bring the NPC into sessions at some point, in order to reinforce the connection between the characters. However, connections represent a relationship built on trust; if the PC tries to use the NPC in a situation convenient for the PC and not the NPC, or generally tries to take advantage of the connection between the two characters, the GM should warn the PC that they may be straining the connection, possibly losing the connection if the behavior continues.

Classes Riders, Mounts and Stunts Rider



Minor Class



A class designed to control mounts of various types, those with Ricer class levels are colloquially known as jockeys. While not a class designed to teach aptitude in combat with spells or steel, they can still participate and use their mounts to turn the tides. Jockeys become familiar with a number of different mounts and can control a mount with minimal movements. Restrictions: None • • • • • •



Rider levels influence the following: First Aid checks Riding checks Tumble checks Cartography checks Monster Knowledge checks ※



※ Identifying monsters only; cannot determine Weaknesses



Uses of Rider Class When riding a mount as a jockey, you can have the mount move and act according to your orders. No vocalizations or gestures are needed to issue such commands, however at least one hand needs to be in control of the mount in order to control and command the current mount. Controlling mount is a Minor Action, and the jockey is able to have the mount 108



take its Move, perform a Major Action, and perform any number of Minor Actions (within reason).



Acquiring Stunts When a character becomes a Rider, they also learn how to get the most out of any of the mounts they ride, whether animal, vehicle or otherwise. When taking a level of the Rider class, including the first, the character is able to choose a Stunt from the Stunts available to them. Some stronger Stunts are restricted by level, limiting their use to the more experienced Riders. As a general rule, Stunts can only be performed while riding a mount, are typically not magical effects, and do not cost MP to perform. How to Read Stunts



① Name



The name of the Stunt. The symbol in front of the name shows the type of Action, if any, needed to perform the Stunt. 109



౦: These Stunts are always active. ☆: These Stunts are performed as Minor Actions. It may be possible to perform multiple Minor Action Stunts at the same time. Ж: These Stunts are performed as Major Actions. ᐁ: These Stunts automatically occur once the appropriate conditions are met. ② Prerequisites



A list of the Stunts needed to be learned beforehand, if any. ③ Compatible



The types of mounts that are able to perform the Stunt in question. ④ Area



The area of the mount which is actually performing the Stunt and receiving the benefit thereof. None: This Stunt has no effect on the mount, and instead affects the Rider and passengers. Main: This Stunt only affects the Main Section of the mount if the mount has multiple Sections. All: This Stunt affects the entirety of the mount. ⑤ Summary



A quick overview of the Stunt and its effects. 110



⑥ Effect



Detailed descriptions of the Stunt and its effects. For Stunts that refer to stats such as "Rider Class Level" or "Intelligence Bonus" (for example), refer to the jockey's stats.

Special Abilities [Underwater Only] Cannot move outside of water, nor be mounted outside of water. While underwater, both jockey and mount can move freely and do not suffer any penalties for moving while underwater. Description Dolphins are able to move freely underwater and are the premier mount for any sort of underwater travel. However, they are all but useless on land, and even transporting a dolphin mount overland is difficult. This is why dolphins are typically only seen available at Riders' Guilds near the seaside.

131



• Head [** Breath / Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus / Fort / Half] As a Major Action, spit an elemental mass up to a range of 20m. Upon reaching the desired distance, the mass explodes into a 3m radius area, dealing "Power 20 + Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus" damage to up to 5 targets in the area. The element can be one of Fire, Water/Ice, Lightning or Poison, and can be chosen upon rental or purchase of the mount. This ability cannot be used in consecutive rounds. • Wings [Flight] Grants a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee attacks) and Evasion to both jockey and mount. If either Wing is reduced to 0 HP or lower, this ability cannot be used. • Tail [Tail Sweep] As a Major Action, use the tail to attack up to 5 targets in the same battlefield. Accuracy and Damage is the same as a normal attack, and this attack cannot be used in consecutive rounds. Description Often thought of as a "flying dragon", a Wyvern is a mount known for their ferocity. However, because they have been trained by the Riders' Guild from the time it hatched from an egg, it will provide unwavering service to their jockeys. The different types of Wyverns available vary from city to city, and not every branch of the Riders' Guild will have Wyverns available.

Special Abilities • Draconet [** Immunity] A Draconet will suffer no effects and receive no damage from certain types of elemental attacks. The element can be one of Fire, Water/Ice, Wind, Earth, Lightning, or Energy, and can be chosen upon rental or purchase of the mount. • Body [** Breath / Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus / Fort / Half / Enhance: Special Ability Perfect Release] As a Major Action, spit an elemental mass up to a range of 20m. Upon reaching the desired distance, the mass explodes into a 3m radius area, dealing "Power 20 + Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus" damage to up to 5 targets in the area. The element of the 133



breath will be the same element chosen for [** Immunity] above. This ability cannot be used in consecutive rounds. Enhance: If the jockey has the Stunt "Special Ability Perfect Release", the Draconet can choose the targets within range, and exclude any targets they wish. • Wings [Flight] Grants a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee attacks) and Evasion to both jockey and mount. If either Wing is reduced to 0 HP or lower, this ability cannot be used. [All-Out Attack / Prerequisite: Special Ability Release] As a Minor Action, a Wing can ready itself to deal an additional 8 damage on their next attack. However, any Evasion Check made by either of the Wings that used this ability this turn receives a -3 penalty. Description A very young dragon, difficult to ride due to its fiery temperament. Only very skilled jockeys can attempt to ride one of these rare mounts, and only a few branches of the Riders' Guild even have a Draconet available. However, they are smart enough to communicate with the jockey, assuming a common language is used.

Special Abilities • Lesser Dragon [** Immunity] A Lesser Dragon will suffer no effects and receive no damage from certain types of elemental attacks. The element can be one of Fire, Water/Ice, Wind, Earth, Lightning, or Energy, and can be chosen upon rental or purchase of the mount. [Techniques] Use the "Strong Blood", "Beetleskin", and "Recovery (7 HP)" Techniques as Minor Actions. • Head [Truespeech Magic, Spiritualism Magic (Level 10) / Magic Power 14 (21)] Prerequisite: Magic Command Cast both Truespeech and Spiritualism Magic up to 10th level. For individual spell effects, refer to that spell's description. [Magic Aptitude] Prerequisite: Special Ability Perfect Release Learn the Combat Feats [Metamagic/Targets], [Metamagic/Distance], [Magic Convergence], [Magic Control], [Guided Magic] and [Wordbreak]. [** Breath / Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus / Fort / Half/ Enhance: Special Ability Perfect Release] As a Major Action, spit an elemental mass up to a range of 20m. Upon reaching the desired distance, the mass explodes into a 6m 135



radius area, dealing "Power 40 + Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus" damage to up to 20 targets in the area. The element of the breath will be the same element chosen for [** Immunity] above. This ability cannot be used in consecutive rounds. Enhance: If the jockey has the Stunt "Special Ability Perfect Release", the Lesser Dragon can choose the targets within range, and exclude any targets they wish. • Body [Passenger / 2 / Prerequisite: Special Ability Release] Two extra characters can ride a Lesser Dragon as a passenger. These passengers can take Major Actions without being penalized for bad footing but can only take such Major Actions as would be possible after a Limited Move. Mounting a Lesser Dragon as a passenger is a Major Action, but dismounting is only a Minor Action. [Tail Sweep] As a Major Action, use the tail to attack up to 5 targets in the same battlefield. Accuracy and Damage is the same as a normal attack, and this attack cannot be used in consecutive rounds. [Large] Unless the Body of the Lesser Dragon is reduced to 0 HP or less, the Head may not be engaged in melee combat. • Wings [Flight] Grants a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee attacks) and Evasion to both jockey and mount. If either Wing is reduced to 0 HP or lower, this ability cannot be used. [All-Out Attack / Prerequisite: Special Ability Release] As a Minor Action, a Wing can ready itself to deal an additional 8 damage on their next attack. However, any Evasion Check made by either of the Wings that used this ability this turn receives a -3 penalty. Description This dragon has just recently grown from a Draconet but is still younger than 500 years old. The few jockeys who can tame these massive beasts are called "Dragoons", and the combined combat power is simply unmatched. Whole battlefields can be scorched with a minimum of effort, and even entire counties will respect dragoons and their mounts.

This ability's C Value is 10 and costs the jockey 10 MP to use (Mako Stones may help to pay this cost). Description A Magitech-type mount on the market at the Riders' Guild, these machines can be safely stored inside manaspheres and carried from place to place without much hassle. The standard manabike created by the Artificer's "Automobile" spell works the same as these mounts, only it doesn't require any MP to be spent in order to store or recall the bike (assuming the spell is still active).

Special Abilities [Flight] Grants a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee attacks) and Evasion to both jockey and mount. [High-Speed Maneuvers / Prerequisite: Special Ability Release] When taking a Full Move, the jockey may use this ability to give both the jockey and mount the Combat Feat [Shadow Sneak]. This ability costs the mount 50 HP to use. [Weapon Platform] Equip up to 3 additional armaments. [Laser Gun / Rider Class Level + Dexterity Bonus / Evasion / Negated / Enhance: Special Ability Perfect Release] As a Major Action, shoot a laser at a target up to 50m away. The laser has Area: Line, and deals "Power 50 + Rider Class Level + Intelligence Bonus" Energy damage to the target. This ability's C Value is 10 and costs the jockey 10 MP to use (Mako Stones may help to pay this cost). Enhance: If the jockey has the Stunt "Special Ability Perfect Release", they can exclude any target within the area of effect. Description A manabike capable of flight, this machine is the top of the line when it comes to both offensive capabilities and maneuverability. In fact, it very well may outperform most of the riders in the Riders' Guild. The manabike created by the Artificer's "Skybike" spell is handled in the same way as this mount. 140

Familiar II Target 1 Object



Cost 30MP Resistance N/A

As with "Familiar", the possible choices of bird, cat and frog are merely placeholders, and can be substituted out for similar animals if the caster so wishes.



Weapon Mastery II Target 1 Character



Cost 8MP Resistance Null



Range/Area Duration 30m/Target 3 minutes (18 r) Summary Infuse the target with mana in order to unlock understanding of their weapons Effect The target gains the use of one of the following Combat Feats: [Weapon Mastery II/**] (one type), [Weapon Master], [Pinpoint Attack], [Pinpoint Attack II], [Aimed Attack II], [Aimed Attack III], [Power Attack II], or [((Mow Down))].

All of the caster's Classes, Combat Feats and mental abilities remain the same, but the physical abilities of the new form will be gained. If the character uses fixed values, that data can be used as-is. For example, if the caster were to turn into a Drake Baron (Dragon Form), they could use the Energy Breath and Flight abilities, but not the Spiritualism Magic, Magic Aptitude, Techniques or Humanization abilities. It is ultimately up to the GM which abilities are granted, and which are ignored.

Two-handed sword with a black Equip blade Attack at the cost of life Durandal Era This is a B-Rank Sword, burned black from the grudge of the warrior who died while wielding it. The warrior's grudge still infuses the weapon, and its curse (a Curse-type effect with a value of 20) seeps into the mind of the new wielder. When an attack is made using this sword, the MP of the wielder is reduced by 5, regardless of if the attack hits or misses. Once the user's MP is reduced to 0, HP begins to decrease at the same rate (with any excess MP reduction rolling over to HP). When the user's HP drops to 0 from this effect, they fall unconscious and immediately make a Death Check. Once this sword is used in battle, the user may only move closer to enemies and attack with this sword. Any other Actions, such as using a different weapon, or any Minor Actions, cannot be taken.

However, due to their inherent danger, they were often discarded until only a few remain in functional shape. They are quite useful for trapping and protecting dungeons, however. Inside the rather ordinary-looking chest is either a magitech-powered automaton or some amount of money, though the contents are only known once the box is opened. Despite the small interior of the chest, the automatons that may spring out are full-size, and having them fit back into the chest is impossible.

Faith and Divine Power The strength of the gods' power that they can exert on Raxia is directly proportional to the number of followers they have. Therefore, in regions where there are few followers of a particular god, the priesthood of that god also weakens. Conversely, in regions where a god is worshipped by the general masses, the priesthood is quite powerful. However, the exact relationship between the number of followers a god has in a region and their power has not been fully determined. What is known is that temples, monuments, and even old totems dedicated to a god will increase their influence, as well the number of believers in that particular region. It is assumed that the spiritual power that was poured into these physical vessels, combined with the power of prayer from followers, that allow a god to retain their power in a given area. Priests performing miracles in areas will also create believers in that particular god, giving rise to a sect of that god in the area, allowing other priests to perform more powerful miracles, etc. A Holy Seal, a physical affirmation of the god's blessing upon a priest, is required in order to perform Priest spells.



Ancient Gods The most venerable of the gods, such as Lyfos and Tidan, are well-known anywhere on Raxia, with a large number of followers. Because of this, their power will not decrease anywhere in Raxia. At the same time, though, these ancient 221



gods cannot devote as much time and effort to each individual priest, and so it is unlikely that calling on them will give a direct revelation to one of their priests.



Major and Minor Gods Major gods, such as Zaiya and Lu Lode, are well known throughout the entirety of a continent, and will retain power in that area. However, when traveling to a faraway area, whether by land or by sea, the sphere of influence those gods have diminishes, and it will be unlikely that inhabitants of the new region have heard of these distant gods. Minor gods, such as Luferia, aren't even as lucky as that. Being gods that have recently ascended to godhood, they have not established a base of followers too far from their own region. When moving away from that region, priests of this god will find it harder to call upon their god in times of need. Priest spells of major gods will cost an additional +1 MP when traveling outside of the continent of their god's influence. However, Priest spells of minor gods increases their costs by +2 MP when traveling out of the region of their god's influence. This increase in MP consumption does not change depending upon exactly how far away the Priest travels. For example, the minor god Lills is worshipped in the Zalts region but is rarely worshipped in the Agia region in the north and the Liezen region in the south. Thus, Priests of Lills have their spells' MP costs increased by +2 when adventuring outside of the Zalts region.



222



However, the god Zaiya is known throughout the entirety of the Terastier continent but is only starting to make a foothold in the continent of Razeldawn to the north. While in Terastier, Zaiyan Priests cast spells as normal, but when adventuring in Razeldawn, their Priest spells cost an additional +1 MP to cast.



Increasing a God's Area of Influence A Priest can consecrate ground in the name of their god in order to bring MP costs back into line. By spending 1,000G and 3 days, the Priest can consecrate a 1km patch of land in the name of their god, allowing them to cast their spells without any extra MP consumption. Additionally, if a Priest can perform missionary services and convert even 1/200th of a city's population (i.e., 10 people out of a city of 2,000) to their god, they can ignore the increased MP consumption while adventuring within that city. These people can already be following a god of their own or be nonreligious. So long as they know the existence of a god, are respectful of that god, and attend temple services at least once a week, that person can be considered a believer. However, despite how much they may respect the gods, Tabbits and Runefolk can never be considered a believer. Aid from a Minor God While minor gods cannot exert influence over much more than a small area, they are able to appear to mortals much more often than older gods. Occasionally, they will appear directly as a divine being, or will disguise themselves in mortal form in order to contact the PCs. Either way, the GM may not only use the god as a means to offer up information and use a Priest character as an oracle but can also use the god as a 223



patron for the PCs' adventuring party, hiring the players to help the god out where they cannot hold influence. Apotheosis Adventurers trying to reach 15th level will eventually become aware of a path to becoming a god. Through a number of adventures, the players must have overcome events that threatened the entirety of Raxia, or maybe have even fought against a god indirectly. In doing so, they have become touched by the will of the gods. Adventurers who reach 15th level have attained the maximum of human growth and are quite rare in Raxia. Only by taking a step towards the divine, whether by being sponsored by a god, or overthrowing one with violence, can a character advance beyond 15th level. It is said that one takes the first step on becoming a god by grasping the First Sword, Lumiere, after reaching the height of their progress. There are also stories of those who had been particularly blessed by the gods and were allowed to touch Lumiere before even reaching 15th level, though the truth of the matter remains a mystery.



224



Magitech of Al Menas 300 years ago, the Al Menas civilization fell. In part due to the Great Catastrophe, many great magitech works and knowledge regarding the creation of such were lost to the widespread destruction. What follows is what is currently known about magitech on Terastier. Airship Magicores Airships, while still incredibly rare, have been rebuilt from the remains of older Al Menas airships. Despite their rarity, these airships represent a significant amount of power and money to the general public, as only the wealthy and powerful are able to put together the expeditions to find and recover airship wreckages. The manufacturing method of the magicores that power these flying marvels has been lost, so most of the expeditions are to find older wrecks, recover the magicore if it is still there, then rebuild a hull around the magicore to create a new airship. What is known about the magicores is that they are mostly made of a metal called "manatite", an ore in which it appears that mana itself has crystallized inside the metal, then both crystal and metal have been compressed under immense pressure. Manatite is a rather hard metal, harder than steel, yet almost weightless. For obvious reasons, manatite is an excellent conductor of magical energy, and it also has the fairly unique property of repelling gravity.



225



A magicore itself is a small sphere or cylinder, little more than the size of an adult's hand, with a number of thin plates of high purity manatite layered inside. These plates are skillfully designed to interfere with each other's magical fields in such a way as to generate an incredible amount of lift. Currently, the methodology and skill of smelting manatite has been lost, and if there were any machines designed to help in this process, they have been either destroyed by the Barbaros or lost to time. Because of this impossibility to recreate such high purity manatite in the current day, functioning magicores have been known to fetch prices of 1 million Gamels, and even higher, to the right buyer. Swords of Protection Many Swords of Protection were created during the Al Menas period, though at that time they seemed more like semipermanent magical items. However, because of the various raids of the Barbaros, quite a few of these Swords have been destroyed, to the point where the current number of known Swords of Protection cannot feasibly protect the entirety of the civilized races. To make matters worse, the protection granted by these Swords is waning, and needs to be maintained through the collection and usage of Sword Shards. Barrier Maintenance Ritual In many cities and larger towns, with the assistance of both the temples as well as the Institute of Magitechnology, rituals are held just about once each week in order to maintain the protective barrier granted through the Swords of Protection.



226



In most cases, this ritual is a day's work, lasting from dawn to dusk. Certain procedures need to be followed, rituals and spells cast in particular orders, and crushed Sword Shards applied to the Swords of Protection in a specific manner. During this ritual, the Sword will lose all power to drive off the Barbaros and undead. For cities with multiple Swords of Protection, these rituals are staggered over a couple of days, rotating from one sword to another, so as to not put the entire city at risk of an attack. Smaller towns, with but a single Sword of Protection, are not as lucky. Additionally, without enough Sword Shards to fuel the ritual, the protection provided may cease suddenly during the week. There are more than enough examples of border town ruins, places where the protection from the Swords ran out too early and the Barbaros overwhelmed the locals. Distribution of Swords of Protection No doubt these Swords of Protection are quite useful in civilized lands, but they can also be considered archaeological treasures as well, and as such will tend to congregate around cities and areas where there are large communities that can deal with archaeology and the treasures found. Thus, larger cities will tend to have one of these Swords per 2,000 permanent residents, where smaller towns and villages will have 1 Sword for every 10,000 residents (or more). Almost ironically, the larger the city, the more protection it will have between walls, guards, and such, and the less protection it will need from a recovered Sword. Each sword also varies in power somewhat, but in general each ritual to restore a Sword of Protection will erect a barrier about 1km in diameter, which will diminish over the course of the week as the Sword slowly loses power. 227



Barrier Resistance Passed down among the Barbaros are items that allow them to bypass the barrier from a Sword of Protection. Such items are quite rare and valuable, and so taking even one of these into battle is a show of power from the Barbaros that does so. Often taking the form of a ring, bracelet, or other armband, these items block the protection from a Sword of Protection for a limited time, usually around an hour or so before losing all durability and crumbling away. Occasionally, a leader of a large band of Barbaros will have multiple bands and will be able to not only break through the protective barrier but stay within the radius of the Sword of Protection for a significant period of time, much longer than the usual hour or so. This is often seen as a sign of a much larger Barbaros invasion looming. Teleporters One of the most amazing ways the Al Menas society was prospering was through the various methods of transportation. Various vehicles and motorbikes took to the ground, fleets of boats sailed across the waters of Raxia, and airships flew through the clear skies. And the most powerful of these was the teleporter. A teleporter required a massive location specifically designed for its use, allowing anything and anyone to be moved across the planet instantly. These teleporters allowed massive quantities of food, materials, and workers to travel to the exact location where they were needed in order to keep everything maintained. During the heyday of the Al Menas civilization, these teleporters were even used by civilians, allowing 228



someone to travel halfway across the planet to another of a number of facilities without a second thought. Nowadays, there are a few teleports still able to be used, but nothing near to the extent during the Al Menas days. A massive magical circle inside of a closed room is a fairly good indicator of an old teleporter, though activation may be locked behind old passwords and lost rituals. Even then, teleports will fail to work if even one side is unsafe, though as time has continued on these failsafe’s may not always function as intended. Teleporter facilities were undoubtedly important facilities, and many may still be heavily guarded by magitech automatons.

Northern Terastier On the northern end of the Terastier continent, there are three major humanoid regions, each with their own power base: Zalts, Liezen, and Dagnia. Each region has a minimum level of security, and the general public will definitely take advantage of that, but the various Barbaros are always on the outskirts of such areas, waiting to pick off any they can, seeing humanoids as weak and vulnerable. Conversely, this is a wonderful place for one to take up adventuring in the wilderness, hunting for treasures and driving back the Barbaros. Climate The weather in the northern regions is very clearly divided into the four seasons, though on the average the temperature is on the warmer side. Winters are often not very cold, and snow really only shows up in the southern mountains before quickly melting away. On the contrary, summers will be fairly hot, though the humidity isn't high enough to be oppressive. If one sits in the shade, it will often be enough to relax comfortably on a summer's day. Terrain The land is quite rugged, with large forests and quite a few rivers coming down out of the mountains, making the region a great place for humans to live. At the same time, because of the fertile land and abundance of natural resources, Barbaros are also after control over the land, and are willing to drive out anyone in their way. 230



The southern reaches of the region are covered by the Rudea Mountains, which are used as a launching point for the Barbaros to attack the surrounding areas. There are also large Barbaros bases in the Dagnia area, and conflict is quite common throughout. Ruins Ruins of the older days can be seen scattered throughout Terastier, hollow reminders as to what can happen should the Barbaros be unopposed. At the same time, these ruins can also hold remnants of the past, relics and treasures waiting to be found by courageous adventurers. The Liezen Region Located inland in the northern part of the Terastieran continent, the Liezen region is protected to its south by the Rudea Mountains, and to the west by the vast Tilla Forest. These natural barriers protect the inhabitants from the Barbaros, though the region itself isn't largely populated. There is some trade with Zalts to the north, and Dagnia to the east, but the current trade routes aren't the safest routes, so only well-protected caravans will travel throughout Liezen. The southern side of the Rudea Mountains is also a large Barbaros gathering ground, and a number of Barbaros incursions begin as they pour out of the mountains into lower Liezen. The southern kingdoms of Duball and Regalia have prepared for such incursions, and not only have highly trained guards and soldiers at the ready, but also have a number of skilled adventurers on call as well.



231



Popular gods worshipped in this region include Kilhia and



232



Zaiya, drawing followers from the soldiers and tacticians protecting the region from the Barbaros. Tidan, Grendal, and even Nilda also find followers among the general populace, as light, heat and clothing are staples for human society. Additionally, Asteria is another popular god to follow in the region, though whether that's less to do with her particular sphere of influence and more to do with protection against the fey in the Tilla Forest is up for debate. "Fairy Land" Alphort Kingdom A small kingdom located in the northwest of Liezen, it is on the edge of the Tilla Forest and is quite well known for its forestry and lumber industry. Currently governed by Queen Belanger Castagniers (37 years old), there are around 50,000 inhabitants of the kingdom, a large number of them elves. Alphort is known as a prime place to study Fairy magic, due to its close proximity to such a large forest, as well as much of the cityscape taking advantage of the natural surroundings. Many of the buildings are constructed around the trunks of ancient trees, and a number of streams and small rivers flow throughout alongside the roadways. Even without an interest in Fairy magic, it is worthwhile to take a trip out to see such a large city built to be in harmony with nature. Animal husbandry and beast capturing is also a fairly lucrative industry as well, considering how close Alphort is to the Tilla Forest. These animals, once tamed, are often used in cultivating the land, pulling caravans, and even military service. There is some trade with the Free Cities of the Zalts region, and every so often whole caravans of tamed animals can be seen heading north from Alphort.



233



Around the time of the Great Catastrophe, the nearby land was in constant turmoil, conflict erupting at a moment's notice between the Barbaros and Alphort. However, in part due to the taming and usage of animals in the military, it has been fairly peaceful and prosperous as of late. There is still a number of soldiers who ride tamed beasts into battle, ready to protect the kingdom, if necessary, though military spending has decreased in recent years. Queen Castagniers is well known among the fairies and is more than happy to accommodate them in the court, however, politics do not necessarily seem to be her strong suit. Thankfully, both the Chancellor and Minister have been competent enough to keep the kingdom functioning, and there are no major complains with regards to national affairs. That being said, there are rumors that the Queen is buying jewels from the fairies using military money, and the citizens are worried as to what may happen were a large-scale Barbaros attack to break out. "Dragon Citadel" Duball Kingdom The largest kingdom in the region, Duball is in the southwest of Liezen. Ruled by King Bernard Falk (53 years old), the city of Duball holds around 70,000 inhabitants. Known for having a strong army, King Falk has taken the time to fortify many of the cities Duball protects due to the constant threat of Barbaros invasion, making the kingdom seem like a series of interconnected castles. However, Duball gets its name from the Dragon Knights, a prestigious title granted only to those strong enough and worthy enough to take it. Only a Dragon Knight can be king, and there are but five in the entirety of the kingdom, including King Falk. Each Dragon Knight has control over both a 234



Draconet and a Lesser Dragon, and even one Dragon Knight taking their mounts out to a battle is on par with most other kingdoms' entire armies. However, the king's dragon, Grundart, is over 500 years old, and is stronger than even a Lesser Dragon in combat power, though he rarely leaves his roost at the royal palace. Roger Falk, the founding king who built the kingdom shortly after the Great Catastrophe and King Falk's ancestor, made an agreement with the Great Dragon of the Rudea Mountains, Ardeltaid, in order to gain aid in fighting against the Barbaros. This act was what had given rise to the Dragon Knight, and in honoring the agreement with Ardeltaid, Duball has become a fearsome military force against the constant Barbaros incursions. To this day, aspiring knights are sent to Ardeltaid in an attempt to overcome numerous trials and become another Dragon Knight, gifted with Ardeltaid's own eggs to raise. Those who are found unworthy of the title may yet still serve the kingdom, though riding Wyverns instead of Dragons. However, these knights are not ridiculed or looked down upon, as the trials to become a Dragon Knight are quite arduous indeed, and even making the attempt is something to be proud of. Even with such a strong army at his command, King Falk must still deal with no end of Barbaros invasions. While the kingdom's knights help drive back many of these attempts, it is only with the aid of adventurers that Duball is able to repel the Barbaros fully. "Legacy of the Magical King" Miraboa Kingdom The smallest kingdom in the Liezen region, the kingdom of Miraboa lies in the northeast, with approximately 20,000 235



inhabitants calling the kingdom home. The current king, Ixelles Jennebert (43 years old), claims to be the descendant of the legendary "Magic King" of the Durandal. The kingdom itself is built around a large crack in the earth created during the Great Catastrophe, commonly called the "Well of Wisdom". This name came from the large amount of ancient magical ruins uncovered by the earth cracking, and a nation came to be established around the various camps and buildings that had sprung up for excavation and research. Because of this, magical research is incredibly popular in the kingdom, and a number of universities and magical research towers dot the kingdom. This pursuit of knowledge has drawn the attention of many tabbits over the course of their life, and to this day Miraboa has a significant number of tabbits as citizens. Tabbits are known for wandering and learning as they travel, so for a significant number of their race to settle down and devote time to studying the ruins is unusual, to say the least. The first king, Harold Jennebert, established a formal School of Magic after taking the throne, and encouraged the growth of new magicians in the area. King Jennebert was also quite active in excavating the ruins and uncovering a number of magical items and artifacts and took the time to learn of the various adventurers and scholars who came to challenge the ruins alongside him. King Ixelles has inherited his father's wishes and is constantly promoting the establishment of magical schools and supporting research of the ruins in hopes of uncovering some valuable information that has been previously lost due the either the ravages of time, or the destruction of knowledge at the hands of the Barbaros. 236



Recently, though, King Jennebert has shut down sections of the ruins, and claims that "something dangerous has been found" or that the crown is "monopolizing valuable knowledge" have begun to fly left and right. Regardless of the truth of the matter, there are still new adventurers and scholars drawn to the kingdom because of the ruins, and veteran explorers just see the restricted area as yet another obstacle to be overcome. "Iron Wall Fortress" Kingdom of Regalia The Kingdom of Regalia is found in the southeastern part of the Liezen region, its five fortresses tucked in a valley between the Rudea and Drakia Mountains. Also known as the "FiveLayered Shield", this heavily fortified kingdom is currently ruled by King Xavier Boaguel (29 years old). The capital of Regalia, the fortress city of Mantoise, is home to around 40,000 inhabitants, with each other city holding anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 civilians on top of a number of soldiers. There are a significant number of dwarves who call Regalia home and are often seen training to repel any Barbaros invasions that may arise. Due to the large number of Barbaros coming out of the south, the southernmost city, Bourde, was built to be the most fortified of the five cities, and it's 1,000 soldiers have never let a Barbaros invasion get past them to this day. However, the other cities do not let Bourde's successes allow them to grow complacent. The other cities of Ritel (with 200 active soldiers), Dordea (100 soldiers), Mantoise (700 soldiers) and Hyurte (100 soldiers) have also seen their fair share of military service to the kingdom. Among the five cities, Dordea is best known for their soldiers being the elite out of all serving in Regalia. Being a fortress city 237



with a high dwarven population, many of the Dordean soldiers



238



239



end up being dwarves striving to live up to the reputation their



predecessors earned. With the Rudea Mountains close by, mining operations are also big business in Dordea, drawing in not only a number of dwarves looking to mine the mountains out, but also a number of smiths, looking to hone their craft while forging arms and armor for the soldiers. Because of these factors, Dordea is currently home to about 2,000 dwarves, though that number is continuing to rise. Overall, Regalia is a very brave and physical kingdom, albeit with little in the way of magical studies. However, the study of magitech uncovered by the mining operations, as well as martial strategies and techniques, more than makes up for any magical shortcomings. "Dragonhome" Rudea Mountains Also known as the "Dragon King Mountains", the Rudea mountain range is home to a large number of dragons. With a number of sheer cliffs, many peaks rise well over 3,000m above sea level, with more than a few having never had a humanoid set foot on them. Only the kingdom of Duball regularly has adventurers make their way into the mountains, and even those brave souls often stick to the well-tread paths. However, there are many untouched ruins, some rumored to go as far back as the Durandal era, with a significant number supposed to have fallen underground due to the numerous upheavals. The great dragon, Ardeltaid, known for his dealing with the Duball Kingdom, was said to have been cursed by a powerful wizard from the Durandal era, and part of the pact that King Roger Falk made was to figure out what the curse was and to break it. Even without dealing with Ardeltaid and their brood, a significant number of dragons call the Rudea Mountains 240



home. As another part of the pack between Ardeltaid and Falk, dragons will leave humans alone unless they interfere with the hunt for food, or humans encroach into nesting areas and ruin their homes. Because of this, the true number of dragons in the region is much larger than reports will say, though dragon encounters remain a rarity. However, Barbaros have begun to be more active in the mountains, often trying to invade the various kingdoms of the Liezen region and gain a foothold outside of the mountains. A number of foreign adventurers have also been active in the mountains, driven by the thought of raiding dragon nests for eggs to sell on the black market. These incidents have begun to erode the trust between humans and dragons, though what will come of this remains to be seen. "Beast's Paradise" Tilla, the Sea of Trees A vast forest that comprises most of the western border of the Liezen region, massive enough to be called the "Sea of Trees", the Tilla forest is an ancient home to equally massive flora and fauna. Each of these massive beasts have their own territory, and will attack mercilessly to defend it from intruders, whether another beast or an adventuring party. There is also an enormous plateau that can be seen sticking above the treetops, though it is said to be home to a large colony of roc birds. There are theories that the Al Menas created massive forests like the Tilla in order to store large animals there, both for preservation as well as defense of their own lands, but there is thus far no evidence to support these theories. Despite all of the dangers, there are still ruins from the Al Menas civilization buried in the overgrowth, and so adventurers will often try to delve into the forest to find these secrets. There are some guides in the Kingdom of Alphort, 241



though many of these will not go very far into the forest due to the dangers. Well of Wisdom The so-called "Well of Wisdom" is a massive fissure found in the Miraboa Kingdom. Buried within are massive ruins dating back at least to the times of the Durandal, and while there have been significant excavations and recoveries of magical items, it is rumored that what has been explored is not even 10% of the entirety of what is buried. In addition to the numerous archaeological finds and magical items, these ruins also host a number of deadly traps, making it so even veteran explorers are wary of delving too deep. There are also stories of an increased number of encounters with various Demons, just waiting to take advantage of foolish adventurers exploring too far in order to be free from their imprisonment. There have been some arguments as to whether or not this fissure is really just a massive Sword Labyrinth... Forest of Magic Fog A vast forest that stretched between the Liezen and Dagnia regions, it is always covered in a dense fog, making normal passage impossible. Only by following the two rivers that flow through the forest are the surest way to pass, and even then, there's often deadly animals and plants waiting for unsuspecting travelers. There is a legend of young Yggdrasil trees deep within the forest, occasionally able to be seen with a telescope from far outside the forest. However, the dense fog makes such observations questionable at best, and to date there have not 242



been any adventurers who have been able to verify the presence of such trees and return safely. "Murderous Waterside" Zoma Marsh The Zoma Marsh is a large wetland that extends north of the Forest of Magic Fog and is home to a large number of aquatic Barbaros, including Lizardmen. What towns were nearby have long been destroyed and overrun by the Barbaros, who now control the area entirely. The Lizardmen tend to stick to the old ruins of the towns, while more dangerous Barbaros and other monsters live just under the water's surface. "Spine of Terastier" Drakea Mountains A large mountain range opposite the Rudea Mountains, the Drakea Mountains are a massive range, extending far beyond the borders of the kingdom of Regalia. Because of the size of the mountain range, it is often referred to as the "Spine of Terastier". The southern part of the mountain range plateaus off, becoming home too larger Barbaros such as Ogres and Giants. However, even the smaller Barbaros in the area are quite strong, making traveling through the area a dangerous affair. "The Calamitous Land" Karzoral Plateau At the southern end of both the Rudea and Drakea Mountains lies the large Karzoral Plateau, taking up much of the center of the Terastieran continent. A desolate land, it hides the old capital of the Barbaros underneath the wastes. This massive underground city was used as a starting point for the Great Catastrophe, and many Barbaros still live within the labyrinthine city. In fact, there are so many Barbaros hiding under the Karzoral Plateau that the kingdom of Regalia is unable to make any sort of meaningful excursion to the city, 243



and so the armies watch each other across the Rudea Mountains, waiting for any sign of weakness. "Kingdom of Darkness" Underground City Tabaljid A massive underground city located beneath the Karzoral Plateau. Over the course of hundreds of years, Barbaros flocking to the city have excavated it and expanded the space, creating a massive maze-like structure home to thousands of Barbaros. Rumors abound that there have been separate nations based upon the race of Barbaros created within the city itself, and that there have been wars between these nations. Even today, the Barbaros in the city live a very chaotic life. Naturally, no humanoid has ever been able to set foot inside Tabaljid and return to tell the tale. The Dagnia Region The Dagnia region is a large area located on the eastern side of Northern Terastier. Home to the Danos Sea, much of the region was built near the waterfront in order to take advantage of water-based shipping and tourism. However, since the Great Catastrophe, much of the region lies in ruins, with most remaining civilized settlements located near the western border, close to the Zoma Marsh. As with the Liezen region, much of the history of the Dagnia region lies within its conflicts with the Barbaros. In particular, both the Kerkyra and Corfu islands in the Danos Sea are home to a sizable population of Barbaros. The Dagnia region is also home to many religious peoples, especially followers of both Lyfos and Tidan. The Holy Kingdom of Sephilia is home to an enormous temple dedicated to Lyfos, and many pilgrims travel from all across 244



Terastier in order to see the sacred beauty. In order to protect these pilgrims as they travel, many in the priesthood have taken up arms, and have become powerful warriors in their own right. Though Lyfos and Tidan have sizable congregations in the land, other gods, such as Kilhia, also have a good following in the region. At the same time, though, rules and regulations in the region are very strict behind the scenes, and more free-spirited adventurers see the area as "full of stuffed shirts". In particular, those with any sort of soulscars are looked down upon with disdain, and Nightmares are especially discriminated against. "The Divine Storehouse" Holy Kingdom of Sephilia Located in the far west of Dagnia, the country is a very religious nation ruled over by Pope Ismael Vizcaino (56 years old). The capital, Aale, is located at the mouth of the Sefur River, and alone has a population over 100,000 citizens. Many of these are pilgrims who have traveled to the city to pay homage to the state religion of Lyfos the Divine Ancestor and settled in the capital rather than attempting to head back to their original home. Aale is one of the few cities to have survived the Great Catastrophe, though the fortified city was considered to be a sacred place long before those events. However, during the rise of magitechnology, many of the elders in Sephilia believed that such works would turn people away from the light of the divine, and so research into magitech was frowned upon. While this has meant that much of the work around Sephilia has to be done by hand, instead of being aided with magitech machines, this does give the city an oldfashioned appearance.



245



Religious artwork and sculpture are quite common, as well.



246



While much was destroyed during the Great Catastrophe, there are still displays of breathtaking paintings and splendid architecture to be found all throughout Aale. Even now, the city attracts many artisans, painters and sculptors who wish to restore much of what was lost during the Catastrophe. Pope Vizcaino holds worship of Lyfos highest among the gods and preaches respect for order and decrying those who would scar their own soul. His teachings stir many in the city to uphold the laws, and the majority of the citizens are polite and morally driven. At the same time, though, adventurers appear to be "ruffians" and "ne'er-do-wells", and those with free spirits find the kingdom a hard place to live within. Additionally, Pope Vizcaino shows an absolute intolerance for the Barbaros, and will often send troops to both Kerkyra and Corfu in order to fight the Barbaros. However, despite frequent attacks on the islands, there is yet to be any sort of decisive action in this conflict, and there are concerns among the citizens that troops are being wasted unnecessarily. As a result, despite their supposed reputation, more and more adventurers are being hired by the Papacy in order to travel and fight the Barbaros. There are some Lyfos warrior-priests who take vows in order to protect the weak and fight off evils wherever they may be. Such warrior-priests take on the name "Paladin", and only the best of their numbers may identify themselves as anything else. Paladins are seen by the populace as the object of admiration and respect, though their vows, including such restrictions as being forbidden to lie, put them at odds with adventurers. While worship of Lyfos is seen as the state religion, and many of the public do follow the teachings of the Pope, there are almost as many who follow Tidan, God of the sun. There is 247



even a temple of Tidan near the grand temple of Lyfos, and there is no ill blood between priests of the two temples. Despite this, there are unproven stories that Lyfosian priests might face some sort of censure if they were to help lesser priests, like those of Tidan. Because of the views on soulscars, there are no priests in the entire kingdom who are willing to resurrect fallen adventurers, and so dying in combat is a very dangerous and very real possibility. Nightmares are also discriminated against, due to their inherent soulscars, and often find themselves shunned at best, though attacks on Nightmares are not unheard of. Oddly, Tabbits and Runefolk also find themselves as outcasts in Sephilia, due to their various issues with connecting to the divine, though they are not actively looked down upon like Nightmares are. "Ruined City" Republic of Barnad Located in the center of the Dagnia region, the republic inherited its name from the ruins of Barnad, a Durandal era city destroyed during the Great Catastrophe. A young citystate, it has only been around 100 years or so, though its population is currently around 15,000. The current city of Barnad occupies only about one-fifth of the original city, the remainder being ruins yet to be explored to any significant extent. There have been some archaeologists from Sephilia who have made small expeditions into the ruins, sending caravans back to Sephilia, Regalia and beyond with their findings. There have been efforts to traverse the Istan River as well, in hopes of having a waterway to Regalia, though little headway has been made.



248



Inheriting the customs of the old city, Barnad is a republic, ruled by a parliament of elected officials to determine the fate of the country. However, it takes quite a few Gamels to even run for a position, and so the parliament is mostly made of successful adventurers and rich merchants. The driving motivation of the parliament, outside of protecting themselves and their citizens from the Barbaros, is "how to make money". To that end, studies of magitech and other archaeological items is welcome, as are wizards and sages who are able to identify the various magical and magitech devices left behind in the ruins. A number of Runefolk have also begun to settle in the area, almost as if they're looking to find information about previous civilizations. However, rumors of unscrupulous operations using Runefolk as unskilled hard labor and servants have become common as of late, though the parliament has currently turned a blind eye to such unsubstantiated tales. "Kingdom of the Sun" La Lumeia Kingdom A nation in the south of the Dagnia region, the Kingdom of La Lumeia is home to a great number of Tidan, god of the sun. Even the current king, King Valerio Silvestri (24 years old), and his royal family are devout followers of the sun god. With more than 60,000 residents, La Lumeia is well known for having some of the most fertile land in the Dagnia region, and provides many crops across not only Dagnia, but Liezen and Zalts as well. However, the current feeling among the populace of La Lumeia is that of unease, due to numerous Barbaros attacks. While not as strict as the Holy Kingdom of Sephilia, La Lumeia does not look kindly on those with soulscars, and also prohibits any sort of resurrection. At the same time, there are 249



specially trained exorcists who go on excursions to eradicate the undead that plague the kingdom. Unlike the Paladins of Sephilia, these exorcists are willing to do whatever it may take and sacrifice whatever is necessary in order to eradicate the threat of the undead. This leads the exorcists to be both trusted and feared among the general populace, and even the Paladins of Sephilia are often at odds with the methods used, though they do not argue with the results. Soldiers in La Lumeia are highly skilled, and often join in on excursions to the various islands in the Danos Sea with Sephilian troops in order to quash the Barbaros there. There is an alliance between the two kingdoms, and many followers of Lyfos have found their way to La Lumeia to start a new life. Despite the outside influence, La Lumeia doesn't look down on adventurers as harshly, and they are almost accepted as a normal way of life in the kingdom. Even with the more accepting public, though, adventurers' reputations will never surpass those of the Paladins. "Glory of the Gods" Danos Sea A bay-like sea in the middle of the Dagnia region. It is said there used to be a floating city in the middle of the bay, and its prosperity had people calling it the "Glory of the Gods". However, this floating city was destroyed during the Great Catastrophe, and the ruins lie at the bottom of the sea, its knowledge and relics lost to the deep. It is said, though, that the underwater city that sat underneath the floating city is still active, though it supposedly remains covered by a dome-like canopy. At present, however, the Danos Sea is the territory of the Barbaros, and so any sort of underwater exploration or recovery efforts are extremely dangerous. From their bases on 250



both the Kerkyra and Corfu islands, powerful Barbaros leaders command various sea faring Barbaros, and are a great threat to the human race. However, the Paladins of Sephilia will never stop in their attempts to recover what was once known as the "Glory of the Gods". Kerkyra and Corfu These islands in the Danos Sea, also known as the "Demon Islands" and "Barbaros Paradise", are the home base for Barbaros in the Dagnia region. Kerkyra Island is a large, curved island, while Corfu is long and narrow. A large fortress was built on the islands during the Durandal era, and now the Barbaros have taken control and turned it into a terrifying symbol. Led by a Nosferatu named Volkreia, the Barbaros on the islands have fallen under the sway of his immeasurable charisma and have turned the islands into their playground. With this constant threat looming over them, the Holy Kingdom of Sephilia has sent troops over to the islands in order to deal with the Barbaros living there. However, between Volkreia's charm and power, as well as the number of both Barbaros and undead under his control, such attacks have been consistently repelled. Retaliatory strikes against the various kingdoms have also proven dangerous, as while Swords of Protection can protect against both Barbaros and undead, these swords will not prevent humans enthralled by Volkreia and his vampires from getting into these cities and taking them down from the inside. However, Volkreia will only send retaliatory attacks after one of the subjugation assaults from Sephilia has failed and does 251



not take the initiative when attacking. This has led some in Sephilia to express caution about making another attack on the islands, and as of late there has not been an attempt to gather forces for another assault. "Ancient Cursed Battlefield" Saltra Plains The Saltra Plains are the area to the south and east of the Danos Sea, and long ago these shores were prosperous, with numerous cities all along the water. However, during the Great Catastrophe many of these cities were destroyed, and countless human and Barbaros lives were lost in the conflicts. Since then, the land has been a barren waste, the innumerable ruins only inhabited by undead cursed to walk the land, as even Barbaros are afraid to set foot in these lands. Now, only foolhardy adventurers and hardened Tidanite exorcists will dare step into the area, testing their resolve against the living dead.



252



Adventuring in Raxia



Riders' Guilds The Riders' Guild is an organization that works alongside the Adventurer's Guild in order to capture, train and outfit mounts for those able to ride. After the collapse of society across Terastier following the Great Catastrophe, the demand for various trained mounts for transportation and defense greatly increased, and those that rose to meet this need became the Riders' Guild. Taking cues from various horse-riding clubs that had existed during the Al Menas days, the Guild has risen to become one of the most prominent guilds across Raxia. New branches of the Guild are being established all the time, and with newer technology and innovations when it comes to not only the mounts themselves, but their equipment as well. While it would appear that adventurers are the most common riders among guildmembers, it is actually merchants and caravanners who are always looking for both pack animals willing to carry their various wares as well as other riders and mounts that may wish to make a quick bit of money doing guard duties. While it may appear that all Riders' Guilds are all the same, it is actually a conglomerate of independent guilds under the same name. While most guilds typically have some combination of animals and magitech vehicles available for mounts, in especially large cities multiple guilds may be 253



competing against each other, often preferring one particular type of mount over another. However, in more rural areas, the Adventurer's Guild may double as a Riders' Guild outpost, with a small stable of mounts not far from the guildhouse. Occasionally, there are guild branches operated by the local state, and in such guilds preferential treatment may be given to those willing to go out on adventures that would advance the state's interests. On the other hand, there are guild halls owned by the Institute of Magitechnology, and such guild branches will have significantly more manabikes available to ride and may even be willing to sell one to the right buyer. Under normal circumstances, the Riders' Guild deals with a good number of animals that do require some space to roam while in Guild custody, and so many of the guildhalls and warehouses can be found on the outskirts of any given city. In certain cases, the stables are set up outside the city walls themselves.



Mounts Mounts used by the Riders' Guild will always have a mark denoting ownership unique to that particular guild branch somewhere on the mount itself. For the various animals, a branding iron may be used in order to create a permanent mark, though magical markings passed down from the old horse-riding clubs of the Al Menas are used quite often. These magical markings are also common on the various vehicles, as branding them would almost assuredly damage the vehicle. The animals used by the Riders' Guild start out as completely wild beasts and are trained by Guild teachers using specialized methods for each type of beast in order to become proper mounts. Adventurers are involved in these processes as more 254



than just a renter or buyer but may also be asked to find young animals to train, as well as occasionally recovering an animal that has escaped from its training.



Mount Reduction Tags These tags contain the power to reduce a mount and their equipment in size, as well as preserve them in stone until the mount is needed. This magic can extend to any drawn carriage as well, making it easy to transport over a large distance. It is thought that these tags were a form of petrification preservation technology being actively researched in the latter half of the Al Menas era. This technology would put the animal into a state of suspended animation, reducing its size and turning it into stone. The thought behind this process was to reduce both the maintenance and upkeep of such an animal and make it easier to transport that animal from one location to another without using any sort of teleportation, while still being able to call upon the beast should the situation prove it necessary. Once such experiments were proven successful, the magic of these tags were heavily utilized over the following years. Mount Contract Certificates and Proprietary Mount Certificates



In recent years, the Riders' Guild has been approving the use of both Mount Contract Certificates and Proprietary Mount Certificates among its members. These Certificates have very similar powers as the Reduction Tags when applies to a mount but are able to be used and reused much more often than the Reduction Tags. Additionally, while the magical interference between multiple Reduction Tags has not been fully resolved, these Certificates do not have such restrictions, and many 255



adventurers have a number of different mounts and Contracts depending upon the purpose. As adventurers and riders become more trusted within the guild, many of the guild branches are willing to lose out on rental fees, so long as the adventurer purchases one of these Certificates. However, this trust does not come right away, and must not only be earned by the adventurer, but also maintained through their deeds. Celebrities in Northern Terastier In this section are short descriptions of famous NPCs found throughout Northern Terastier. It is up to the GM to make use of these NPCs as they see fit, whether as clients and sponsors for adventuring jobs, rivals searching the same deserted ruins for treasure, or adversaries willing to take out competition. Feel free to change any aspect of the following NPCs, such as their age or personality, as the scenario needs.

"Let's go, Grundart. There's Barbaros to hunt." The King of the Duball Kingdom, Bernard Falk is a fair and honest man, with a strong temperament. As a ruler, he is a benevolent leader, and is respected and admired by those in the Duball Kingdom. He will do everything in his power to protect his kingdom against the attacks of the Barbaros, and when he calls upon the great dragon Grundart for combat, they make a truly ferocious team. At the same time, King Falk has been the target of Barbaros assassins on a number of different occasions and has died numerous times. His major flaw is he is an unrivaled lover of liquor and alcohol, and it is only when he is drunk that he is unaware of any assassin. However, King Falk continues to drink without hesitation, despite the fears and worries of his aides.



257



"Dragon Marquis" Bastion Bair (Human/Male/33 yrs.)



"For His Majesty and the people. That's why I became a Dragon Knight." A young Dragon Knight with the rank of Marquis. Because of his status as a Dragon Knight, as well as his rank in the courts, it is rumored that Bastion will be the next in line to become King of Duball. Having lost his parents at a young age, Bastion dotes fondly on his younger brother, Jean-Jacques. There are those who would say that this affection is his only weakness, though anyone who would say such things do so out of earshot of Bastion. Between his promising future, beauty, and currently being single, he has many followers among the lower courts, and will even earn grudges from others without his knowledge. "Mother General" Fulmeri Bergament (Dwarf/Female/97 yrs.)



"Hey, speak up! What, did you drop the ball or something?" The dwarf in charge of the soldiers at Dordea, Fulmeri looks like a young girl, and yet is nearly a century old. Nicknamed the "Mother General", she has six sons and three daughters, and is the head of a family of over 30 members, including her greatgrandchildren. 258



Despite her childlike appearance, Fulmeri is a very harsh and intimidating general, and more than one headstrong dwarf has found himself shrinking away from her never-ending tirade. In peacetime, she trains recruits, and anyone who thinks to be a troublemaker quickly finds themselves on the wrong end of a number of training exercises. At the same time, though, Fulmeri lost her husband due to the war against the Barbaros and is constantly being followed by a number of suitors. "Fairy Princess" Sherio (Fairy/Female/?)



"I found some treasure over there. I can guide you if you want..." A fairy that resembles a beautiful elf. While her identity is unknown, it's possible Sherio may be a water fairy, as she will show up near water. Regardless of whether she shows up in a city, or out in the countryside, she will invite people to follow her to a mysterious place. Whether this is malicious or not is arguable, as some never return from such treks. Even those who do end up returning often have some of their memories removed, despite returning with treasures. Either way, Sherio's true purpose is completely unknown, though it is believed that it is just having fun. Some adventurers have heard the tales and look forward to finding her and going on an adventure, while others believe that she is a harbinger of evil that must be struck down.



259



"Demon Obsessed" Trato Pampani (Tabbit/Male/27 yrs.)



"If you're aware of the origins of demons, you may know something about us tabbits as well..." A tabbit researcher in the so-called Tabbit Autonomous Region in Miraboa, Trato is obsessed with demons and their origin, and how that may relate to the origin of tabbits. His relentless thirst for knowledge has seen him hire a number of adventurers to delve into the Well of Wisdom, in hopes of finding that elusive bit of evidence that would prove his theories true. However, while he is obsessed with the research he is doing, many believe that Trato is just wasting his time, and there has been nothing found because there is no evidence to be found. Although he is an excellent wizard in his own right, Trato dislikes fighting, and will insist to be a sagely scholar, nothing more. When trying to capture a demon alive, however, he has no qualms about fighting fiercely, unleashing powerful magic in the hopes of disabling the target instead of killing it. "Iron Man" Xavier Hoaguel (Human/Male/29 yrs.) A warlord in the kingdom of Regalia, Xavier earned recognition fighting alongside King Falk of Duball. His nickname came from his unearthly stamina, as he was able to fight on for hours fully armed without stopping. While his large, rough appearance and heavy armaments make him appear to be a wild king of the wastes, Xavier is actually a brutally effective tactician, taking advantage of every 260



opportunity he can to turn the tides against the Barbaros. He is also fairly proficient with magitech and has no qualms with firing a gun at the enemy. A brilliant and pleasant man, he has earned the respect of both soldiers and civilians throughout the Liezen region. "Queen of Jewels" Queen (Human/Female/37 yrs.)



Belanger



Castagniers



The current ruler of the Kingdom of Alphort, Queen Castagniers took the throne as a matter of hereditary succession. With youth and beauty that belie her age, she is more apt to be a Fairy Tamer than a ruler of a kingdom. Queen Castagniers does show enthusiasm when it comes to fashion and collecting jewelry, and some believe that she is funding her passion projects using national money. While she does have a husband, the Queen has become a patron for a number of young adventurers, and rumors have it that she has taken a lover on the side from among them. "Magic King" Ixelles Jennebert (Human/Male/43 yrs.) The current king of Miraboa, King Jennebert is a master of Truespeech, Spiritualism, and Magitech spells, giving him unparalleled magical might as a ruler and the right to nickname himself the "Magic King". Unfortunately, his overconfidence has led to crisis in the past, as he has been known to have a lack of awareness of the plight of his subjects. On the other hand, anyone looking to study magic has the backing of the state, and Miraboa is a major destination when it comes to learning a variety of different styles of magic. Occasionally, King Jennebert has given special lectures regarding the uses of magic, though due to the subject matter only a few dedicated magicians showed up to hear the king speak. 261



Dagnia Region "Battle Pope" Ismael Vizcaino (Human/Male/56 yrs.)



"To purify one's soul is to purify oneself. This is the way the gods have shown us." The Pope of the Church of Lyfos, and leader of the Holy Kingdom of Sephilia. Pope Vizcaino is a radical exclusionist, and does not tolerate anyone who bears soulscars, whether Barbaros or otherwise. Sparing no expense, he has sent a number of soldiers to the islands in the Danos Sea in hopes of crushing the Barbaros who live there, but as of, yet subjugation efforts have proved fruitless. While many still hold support for the Pope for taking strong actions against an obvious threat, there are those who look at the failed attacks on the Barbaros as a waste of manpower and resources and think that the Pope is overstepping his authority.



262



"Pure White Knight" Ulrika Atstelberg (Human/Female/17 yrs.)



"How can you overlook someone in need?" A Lyfosian warrior-priest, Ulrika is training in order to become a Paladin herself. As many of the populace would tell it, she is very pretty, smiles a lot, and will go out of her way to help someone in need, almost radiating an aura of safety and security around her. However, it is obvious that she still needs training, and this shortcoming does tend to cause more trouble than not. Ulrika is also an active combatant against the Barbaros, but is hesitant to take the life of another, even if they are as evil as she is told. As of late, she is wondering about the state of the church and her future within the church. This internal debate is writ large all over her face as she goes out to help the less fortunate, her smile a little less bright as she questions her faith.



263



"Hunter of the Dead" Raul Alfonso (Nightmare/Male/31 yrs.)



"Tidan, let these poor souls find some rest..." In order to overcome the stigma of being born a Nightmare, Raul took it upon himself to become an exorcist of Tidan, a symbol of fear among the devout. By using a variety of guns, advanced Divine spells, and martial prowess, he has become one of the premier exorcists in the church today. However, when dealing with the undead, Raul is dangerously aggressive and doesn't appear to fear death, his recklessness making even other exorcists fearful of his powers. "Troublesome Doll" Marika No.3 (Runefolk/Female/22 yrs.)



"...Why was I born?" Marika is one of many Runefolk produced for archaeological exploration, one of many meant to go delving into the Well of Wisdom. However, none of the Runefolk produced for this purpose have remained in sync with each other, and so Marika has been able to go out into the world and explore it on her own terms. Though she appears to be a young woman, Marika is an accomplished Artificer, and has been fighting on the front 264



lines against Barbaros for about 20 years. Her appearance only serves to confuse and distract would-be enemies from the power that she wields. However, due to her penchant for being in dangerous situations, Marika has noticed that she is not seen as an equal among adventurers and is worried for what the future may bring on that front. "Beautiful Destroyer" Almiralda (Drake/Female/?)



"Burn it down! Destroy it all! Then we can make this world ours!" The leader of the Barbaros in the Rudea Mountains. Almiralda is a powerful drake even among other drakes, and her ruthless and warlike personality have given her a reputation as one of the most dangerous Barbaros in northern Terastier. Holding a grudge against humans for killing her husband, she often gathers large armies of Barbaros in order to attack the civilized races and is willing to make any sacrifice necessary in order to achieve her goals.



265



"Quiet Immortal" Volkreia (Nosferatu/Male/?)



"Why look for a fight? I'll give one to you if you wish, but I must say I'm tired of this..." A Barbaros king with a castle on Kerkyra Island, Volkreia has been a threat to the Dagnia region since the Great Catastrophe. A vampire of Clan of Frau, he was a dangerous foe who led an army of the undead against civilization. However, as of late he has been rather disinterested in endless combats and would like to live quietly alone. Rumor has it that Volkreia found a human girl and fell in love with her, only to watch her die in combat against the Barbaros he led. Now, Volkreia only calls for attacks on the humans in retaliation for their assaults on his castle. Even then, he does not go out into combat himself anymore, but merely sends subordinates off to war. "Dawn King" Valerio Silvestri (Human/Male/24 yrs.) A fairly young king, Valerio took the throne of La Lumeia just recently due to his father, the previous king, dying in combat against the Barbaros. A devout believer in Tidan, the sun god, King Silvestri has a number of battle honors of his own and has worked with Sephilia in attacking the Barbaros in Danos Sea. However, he knows of the history of Sephilia and how they have relentlessly provoked the Barbaros for generations, how retaliatory attacks tend to disproportionately affect La Lumeia, 266



and is not happy with having his whole kingdom and citizens be a shield for Sephilia to hide behind. As a result, there is a definite tension between King Silvestri and Pope Vizcaino, which can even be seen in formal communications, let alone if they were to meet face to face. "Death Dealer" Emilio Pablo (Human/Male/39 yrs.) One of the 11 councilors from the Republic of Barnad. He has been researching, developing, and restoring old magitech weapons from the ruins of the old city of Barnad, and has been selling them in massive quantities. In particular, caravans full of various weapons have been making their way to the kingdom of Regalia as of late, with the number of exports increasing yearly. However, there are critics who claim that he's more worried about making money and putting business first, rather than dealing with the imminent threat of the Barbaros. There are also rumors that some of his weapons are being sold into Barbaros hands as well, but nothing can be proven at this point. "Young Yggdrasil" Blumkvist (Yggdrasil Sapling/?/?) A sampling of an Yggdrasil tree, hiding in the Forest of Magic Fog. It seems as though Blumkvist can see the entire forest clearly, and it is said that if something were to happen that would bring great harm to the forest, an old voice sounds out of nowhere in order to give warning. Legend has it that, during the time of the Great Catastrophe, it sought the aid of adventurers passing through in order to drive away the Barbaros who were attempting to destroy the forest. Since then, it has been relatively tolerant of the civilized races, assuming they give the forest the proper respect when traveling through. 267

Scenario Sample Scenario: "Dragon Eater"



Scenario Overview The goal of this scenario is to find a missing Dragon Knight in training, as well as recover a stolen dragon egg from the hands of the Barbaros. The PCs are asked to find out what happened to a prominent knight who was headed to the dragon Faraliel in order to join the ranks of the Dragon Knights of Duball. Upon arriving at Faraliel's lair, they do not find the knight, but instead a seriously wounded dragon. The party is then told how Barbaros attacked the dragon's lair and stole one of Faraliel's eggs, and the Dragon Knight-to-be left on a quest to find and retrieve the egg. Following the trail of the knight, the party will come across the lair of the Barbaros who had stolen the egg. Deep within the lair lies a demon that had been sealed away during the Durandal period, and the Barbaros hope to use the power contained within the dragon's egg as a sacrifice to free the demon. It is up to the party to stop the profane ritual and save both the dragon's egg and the knight.



Scenario Preparation This scenario is designed for 5 PCs, with an average Adventurer Level of 10. The session should take about 4-5 hours, depending upon how focused the players are. If there 269



is a different number of players, there will be guidelines to adjust the number of monsters and Sword Shards in the adventure as necessary. If there are two or less players, it is recommended that the PCs are an average Adventurer Level of 13 or higher, instead of 10.



Scenario Setting The setting for this scenario is in the Liezen region of Northern Terastier. Specifically, the party will begin in the kingdom of Duball, known as the "Dragon Citadel" due to its particular reverence for the great monsters. Duball is the frontline when it comes to Barbaros invasions and is constantly under attack. There are a number of uncharted territories that border Duball, and even the experienced adventurer should be careful when passing through. Because of this constant conflict, though, a number of veteran adventurers are drawn to the region, in order to give their aid against the Barbaros.

Other, non-italicized text is for the GM to know what is going on in the scene, as well as any tricks, traps and treasure that may be found.



The Main Story "Dragon Knight" - The highest title in the Kingdom of Duball. Even members of the royal family cannot take the throne unless they are also a Dragon Knight, that's how much the title means to the Kingdom. Once the heir to the throne can ride atop a dragon of their own, only then will the populace of Duball will truly recognize their future king. 270



A young man has gone to the mountain where the great dragon of Duball, Ardeltaid, lives, in order to become a Dragon Knight himself. The first test of any true Dragon Knight, as anyone in Duball will tell you, is to have one of the dragon's lineages give the knight one of their eggs to raise. However, the knight has not returned. The great Dragon Marquis, Bastion Beirre, is looking for competent adventurers to help him search for his younger brother. Has something happened to the younger Beirre, and why has he not returned to Duball? Has he angered the dragons, or worse?

272



Introduction



Duball, the kingdom of Dragon Knights. The Kingdom of Duball is in a dangerous place, located at the border between civilized lands and the wilds that are home to the Barbaros hordes. In particular, those Barbaros that have crossed the Rudea Mountains to the south of the kingdom are often quite strong and are rarely able to be driven off by normal troops. Often, only the presence of a Dragon Knight is enough to handle these powerful enemies. Because of the constant conflict with the Barbaros, many veteran adventurers are drawn to Duball, and offer their skill to defend the kingdom. Your party is among the more famous groups of adventurers who have traveled this far, and your reputation precedes you. So much so that upon arriving in town you are approached by a courier, who carries a message from one Bastion Beirre, known among the populace as the Dragon Marquis, and is one of the few Dragon Knights of the kingdom. The PCs in this scenario are assumed to be veteran adventurers, whether they have come to Duball in search of new adventures and thrills, or local adventurers who have worked their way up to their current position. Either way, the party is well known even before coming to the capital city of Duball, and part of their reputation is taking on a number of high-risk high-reward jobs and returning successfully. If the PCs are looking to stay at the local Adventurer's Guildhall, "Pike's Glory" is the place to be. The hall is known for its abnormal number of higher-level adventurers and difficult jobs and is more than happy to have famous adventurers like the party stay while they're in town. 273



Almost immediately after arriving at "Pike's Glory", a courier comes specifically asking for the party. If they ask who the message comes from, they will be informed that the message is from the "Dragon Marquis" Bastian Beirre. Marquis Beirre is a Dragon Knight, an elite knight capable of riding a dragon in battle and is considered to be the heir to the throne once King Falk passes away. Beirre is only 33 years old, but his skill at arms and treatment of his dragon mount are said to be unmatched within the kingdom. He is also known to be quite affable when he's not dealing with a Barbaros attack, and is the perfect client with regards to status, credibility, and personality. Request of Marquis Beirre, Dragon Knight



Upon informing the party that the Dragon Marquis personally requested they come to his mansion, the courier steps outside and waits next to a grand carriage. With little fanfare, you step in and find a seat, as the carriage makes its way through the city of Duball. It is not long before the carriage comes to a large mansion, complete with a gated wall and a large garden in the front of the building. The courier leads you into the building, and to a small reception room just off of the entranceway. The room has a good amount of luxurious, yet practical furniture, and it is not long before a gentleman enters the room. Marquis Bastian Beirre apologizes for the wait and greets the party. It is obvious from his expression that there is something weighing heavily on his mind, though exactly what remains to be seen. Marquis Beirre introduces himself to the party and asks if they wouldn't mind relaxing while he addresses the reason for the sudden calling. A maid comes into the room not long after, pushing a cart with tea and other small appetizers to serve the party. 274



"Let me not beat around the bush, as I'm sure you're wondering why I called you here. My younger brother, JeanJacques, has gone missing, and I wish for you to find him. "Jean-Jacques, my dear younger brother, has taken to following in my footsteps, to the point where he wanted to attempt the trials to become a Dragon Knight. The first step in doing so is to head into the Rudea Mountains to the south, find a dragon's cave, and care for one of their eggs until it hatches. The dragons found in the mountains are of the brood of the great dragon Ardeltaid and will assist those from Duball as per an ancient pact made by King Falk's ancestor. "However, just last night Jean-Jacques' wyvern mount returned to the mansion, with my brother nowhere to be seen. The wyvern, as well as much of the riding tack, was covered in small scratches, as though it had seen some intense fighting before coming back. I have no doubt something has happened to my brother, and my task to you is to find out exactly what. "As shameful as it is to say, Jean-Jacques is my only family, and I care deeply for him. So much so that I am willing to pay 8,000G to each of you if he is brought back alive. If..." At this point Bastian closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, then opens his eyes again and continues. "If he is found dead, I will still pay you 5,000G for the return of his body. "Of course, I wouldn't send you out completely unprepared. I do have a map to lead the way to Jean-Jacques' last known location, the cave of the dragon Faraliel, as well as 10 days' worth of food and drink. I also have a Dexterity Potion and a good-sized Mako Stone, one of which I'd be willing to offer if necessary. You may also need to show proof that you're working on my behalf, so I have this small token showing you're in my employ. 275



"When you have everything together, I beg of you to hurry and find my brother as soon as you can. The Rudea Mountains are quite dangerous, even for a knight like myself, so I could only imagine how my poor brother is doing. Please, find him quickly." Jean-Jacques Beirre is a young lad of 20 years, with boyish good looks and striking blonde hair. Though he is a bit foolhardy, he is quite personable, and is quite capable of becoming a Dragon Knight. Bastian thinks the world of his younger brother and has supported Jean-Jacques' decision to follow in his footsteps. As soon as the PCs accept the request, Marquis Beirre will have a pair of butlers come into the room, one pushing a part with a number of packages on it, the other carrying a small metal plate and a scroll. The packages are 10 days of food and drink, one per member of the party, and will not spoil while traveling during this scenario, as well as either the Dexterity Potion or the 10-point Mako Stone, whichever the party chose. The metal plate is a palm-sized engraving of the crest of the Dragon Knights, which will provide proof that the party is acting on behalf of Marquis Beirre, while the scroll is a map to the cavern of the dragon Faraliel, where Jean-Jacques was heading. If the party has horses to ride, they will arrive at the dragon's cave in two days. However, if they choose to walk, it will take twice as long (four days). The party will not run into any encounters while traveling to the Rudea Mountains.



276



To the Dragon's Mountain Lair



The Rudea Mountains are a range of steep, rugged mountains, difficult to climb even in the best of weather. As the party travels closer to the mountain range, you pass by a number of small groves of trees, following ancient trails through the woods that appear to be rarely used. Were it not for the map from the Marquis, it is unlikely you would have found your way to the mountains. Eventually, you come across what appears to be a byroad into the mountains, with a small carving in a nearby tree matching a symbol on your map. Following the byroad for most of the day, you eventually come across a massive cave entrance. As you check your map to make sure this is the right place, you get the feeling that you're sitting in front of a dragon's gaming maw, staring down its dark throat. Confirming your position, you enter the cave, taking in just how massive it really is. The entrance is 10m wide, while the ceiling quickly moves upward and away, disappearing into darkness. Continuing on, this cave is easily large enough for a dragon to live in. As the players enter the cave, a Scout or Ranger can make a Danger Sense check (TN 15). If successful, they notice the coppery smell of blood, emanating from further on in the cave. The PCs can also look for footprints, requiring a Track check (TN 15), and if successful they will notice there were a number of footprints heading into and out of the cave. If the Track check result is over 20, the footprints can be determined to be specifically those of a large species of Barbaros, at least 10 in number.



277



The Wounded Dragon



The smell of blood is in the air. As you head deeper into the cave, the smell becomes strong, almost irritating to breathe. The scent becomes overwhelming as you all arrive at the back of the cave and come across a gruesome scene. A large red dragon lies on the floor, in the middle of a pool of blood. There are several blackened Barbaros corpses nearby, the end of a fierce battle that took place quite recently. As you look around the carnage, the dragon stirs, not dead, but not quite alive either. It opens its eyes slightly as the party comes closer. The fallen dragon is the Lesser Dragon Faraliel, a mildmannered dragon who does not tend to attack without provocation. However, she has been attacked by the Barbaros recently, and so she is more cautious than normal. Faraliel is severely injured, with all sections but their head at -10 HP, and the Head only at 60 HP. Faraliel currently has 0 MP, as she has been casting healing spells since the Barbaros attack in order to stay alive. If the PCs approach cautiously and show the dragon the coat of arms from Marquis Beirre, she will visibly relax. If asked what happened, she will relay the following information to the PCs.



"I was attacked by some Barbaros the other day. There were quite a few of them, and they had managed to take me by surprise. I tried my best to stop them, but there was just so many, and they were well-organized for a group of Ogres. 278



Their purpose was to steal one of my eggs I had recently laid... My precious egg... "After stealing my egg from me, the Ogres ran away as fast as they could, as if they had more important things to do. In their haste, they didn't make sure I was totally dead, which is a small favor itself. Jean-Jacques, that young man, came upon my poor self not long afterwards, and healed me as best as he could. However, he was no trained healer, and so he couldn't heal all of my wounds. "The young man tried his best, though, and as he kept at it, I told him what had happened. After dressing my wounds, he took his arms and headed out towards the Ogres. I wish he hadn't, though, as he doesn't stand a chance against that many Barbaros, especially as well-trained as they were. At this point, I can only imagine the poor lad has been killed... "The way they came in and attacked, it seemed like the Ogres were specifically looking for one of my eggs. I can only imagine it is going to be used for some vile ritual. Please, I ask of you to stop them and bring my egg back if you can." At this point, Faraliel tries to lift herself up off the floor of the cave and fly out, but crashes back to the ground. The wounds on her wings have not healed, and she cannot fly. If the PCs are able to heal Faraliel, she will follow the PCs in their search for Jean-Jacques. If they return the egg safely, Faraliel will also gift the party with an Eternal Chronoglass, a powerful artifact and one of Faraliel's most treasured items from her hoard. If the PCs are greedy and choose to attack Faraliel, she will fight as best as she can give her weakened state. If the party 279



defeats the dragon, they will find the Eternal Chronoglass and around 200,000G worth of treasure. However, Faraliel is one of the most important dragons in Duball and killing her will be sure to bring the full wrath of the kingdom down upon the party. Following the Knight, Jean-Jacques



As the party looks near the mouth of the cave, it is obvious now that Jean-Jacques has followed the footsteps of the Ogres who attacked Faraliel. The Ogres were more likely too preoccupied with the dragon's egg to notice the lone knight following behind. However, as the trail winds through the mountains, the way becomes quite steep, with no roads to be found. Continuing on will become quite difficult, with hard work ahead. If the PCs have healed Faraliel, she will offer to let the PCs ride on her back, making the travel to the mouth of the cave and beyond quite easy. She can instinctively track the location of the egg, so it is unnecessary to have the PCs do any sort of tracking. However, if the PCs are heading out on their own, they need to make a Track check (TN 13) in order to keep the footprints in sight. A failed check loses the trail, and the PCs will lose a day getting back on track. The Sealed Cave



As you pass a hollow in the mountainside, there is a fairly large cave opening. At 5m wide, it is much larger than you would expect for a hidden cave entrance. From a distance, it is difficult to see, but as you approach the cave, it is quite easy to find the cave due to the Ogre guards out front. These two 280



Ogres are strong, but they're unlikely to be a match for skilled adventurers like yourselves. Standing as lookouts are two Lesser Ogres, who should be fairly easy for the PCs to surprise. The area surrounding the cave entrance is quite rugged, so sneaking up on the Ogres should be trivial. However, should either of the Lesser Ogres be alive after two rounds, reinforcements will come from the cave, drawn to the sounds of battle. 4 Ogres and 2 Ogre Berserkers will join the battle during the third round of combat, while the Ogres remaining in the cave will be alerted to intruders and cannot be further surprised. If the PCs are with Faraliel, the Lesser Ogres will attempt to run inside for help. However, between her attacks and Flame Breath, they will not make it far enough into the cave to alert the other Ogres. Into the Cave



A strange, heavy presence can be felt emanating from the cave. From the looks of it, the cave was originally a natural cave that had been sealed by a rockfall in front of the entrance, hiding its presence and making it nearly invisible. It appears, though, that the Ogres have cleared away the fallen rocks, and moved into the cave without much of an issue. The cave is 5m high inside, large enough that a rider with a single-section mount can enter quite easily. However, if Faraliel is with the party, the Lesser Dragon will not be able to continue on, as the cave is too small for her.



"Pshah, of course those cowards would retreat into such a small cave. Were they only out here, I would set them all 281



ablaze! However, I must entrust the care of my egg to you, and hope that you can defeat these Ogres in my stead." With that, Faraliel will wait outside for the party to emerge. If the party captures the Lesser Ogres alive, they will tell the party the following information.



"We've got a plan to kill the humans, we do." "Dorgan, he's our leader, and the strongest around. His Succubus mistress is really good at magic, so they stay on top of the other Ogres." "Between the dragon and the knight, we've lost a couple fighters, but there's still more than 10 of us!" "The knight? He killed two of the guards, but he got beaten up too. He's back in the cave, but I hope he's dead by now." a: Entrance



The cave is a natural cave, its walls smooth and worn. There are a number of small, branching paths, but only the one path leading forward is large enough for both humans and Ogres to pass through. There are no distinguishing features of the entrance to the cave, outside of the footprints. If a character succeeds on a Track check (TN 13), they will know there are a number of Ogres who are still deep within the cave. b: Groundwater Spring



The sound of slow-moving water echoes in the large chamber. On the far side of the room, a groundwater vein slowly meanders from one side of the room to the other, filling a small pond with water. Near the edge of the water, you can see a body lying on the ground.



282



283



There is a small spring here, filled with clean, clear water. At



the bottom of the spring is a groundwater vein, flowing from "h". If a PC wishes to swim, it is 30m entirely underwater, and so a Swim check needs to be made to swim against the current, TN 15 if there is a light the PC can use underwater, TN 19 if not. If the PC is an Elf, or has "Underwater Aptitude", no check needs to be made. If the PC is unsuccessful, they will be pulled past the spring into a narrow part of the stream and become trapped. Without aid, the PC will die. Lying by the spring is Jean-Jacques Beirre. He had managed to fight his way past the Ogre guards but was defeated by more Ogres farther in and knocked unconscious. After waking up, he attempted to retreat and find help, but was attacked by one of the Alchemy Tooths in "c". IF the party has lost a day or more's travel before arriving at the cave, Jean-Jacques will be dead from the Golden Disease. A PC can attempt to cast "Resurrection" on him, and he will return to life. However, if there is no attempt to mitigate the Golden Disease, whether through "Cure Disease" or some other method, he will succumb to the disease and die again within 24 hours. A successful Monster Knowledge check (TN 14) will let the PCs know that this disease is caused by an Alchemy Tooth, and that there is a serum that can be acquired from a dead Alchemy Tooth that will cure the disease. If Jean-Jacques can be brought to consciousness, he will tell the party the following information.



"Thank you for your aid. My name is Jean-Jacques Beirre, from the kingdom of Duball. I had tracked a number of Barbaros from the lair of the dragon Faraliel here, in order to reclaim a stolen egg and stop a dark ritual. You see, deep 284



within this cave is sealed an ancient demon, and the Ogres wish to bring it back into the world by using the dragon egg as a sacrifice. "According to folklore, there are a few demons capable of destroying entire nations, who have been sealed away for some time. I dread that this demon is one of those, and so when I had heard them talking about the demon's power and the ritual, I tried to escape and warn others in Duball about the situation... Until I ended up getting poisoned from one of those monsters and ended up in this mess. "As shameful as it is, I must put aside my pride and ask. Will you join me, and help me put a stop to this ritual?" If the PCs ask him for a reward, Jean-Jacques will offer all of the money he has on him, as well as a ruby ring with the Beirre coat of arms on it. The ring itself is not magical, but it can be sold for 8,000G as a work of art. A successful Appraise check (TN 13) will inform the PCs of its value. If there are 3 or fewer PCs, the GM should try and have JeanJacques accompany the party if possible. If the party has 5 or more PCs, his presence is not needed as much (but may still be welcome). If Jean-Jacques accompanies the party, his information is as follows. In the case his help is not needed or refused, he will wait outside of the cave (with Faraliel if she is there) for the party to emerge. c: Snake Nest



As you enter the room, there seems to be a chasm on the other side of the room, cutting the room in half. The cave continues on beyond this chasm, but your attention is drawn to the strange, golden snakes that have come out of the shadows. As you approach, they raise their heads, getting ready to attack. 285

Three Alchemy Tooths are in the room and will attack if the players attempt to get to the chasm on the other side. Enemies: Alchemy Tooth x3 Behind the Alchemy Tooths lies a chasm, about 6m away from the party. Upon closer inspection, the chasm is 10m deep, and a failed check to cross it will result in a terrible fall. d: Force Wall



As the party walks down the corridor, they come to an abrupt halt as a strange, transparent wall fills the tunnel. Its reddishpurple glow sheds some light in the tunnel, but not much. Seeing beyond the wall is quite difficult, and it is likely that trying to pass by force would end up going poorly. A character touching the Force Wall receives Power 40 + 20 Thunder-type damage (with a C Value of 10). A successful Willpower check (TN 22) can reduce this damage by half. Characters with the Racial Trait "Mana Interference" are unaffected by this damage. Regardless, the wall doesn't actually stop anyone from passing through, though it does block line of sight for magical effects. The device in room "g" is used to control this door. e: Guard Unit



A fairly spacious room, though there are a few Barbaros here loitering. Upon seeing the party approach, they gather their weapons and move in to attack. Enemies: Ogre Berserker x1, Ogre x3 Lying on the floor are three unidentifiable bodies, barely recognizable as more than piles of bones. The Ogres will fight 287



to the death and will refuse to speak to the PCs even if captured alive. f: Sealed Door



The tunnel widens, and as it does you notice a door set into the wall. This door is obviously man-made, a clear difference to the natural rock walls everywhere else in the cave. Complex patterns and sigils were carved into the door, intended to keep something sealed behind. However, the door now hangs slightly ajar, the seal obviously broken. Behind the door lies the room where a powerful demon was sealed into this cave, and the Barbaros are about to begin the ritual to revive it. The door is open slightly, allowing the players to open it without issue, however there are three Ogres standing watch that will attack the players as they enter the room. A successful Hide check (TN 18) will allow that PC to look through the gaps in the door unnoticed, through which they will see room "i". However, if the PC fails, they are close enough to the Ogres (10m) for them to move and attack in the same round of combat. Door Engraving The following is engraved on the door, written in the Arcana language.



Sealed beyond lies the Lord of the Great Woe, the Incarnation of Destruction, the Demon Lord Bargadaras. His power has brought the Ten Kingdoms to ruin, slaying the Seven Emperors of Magic. To unleash this power is to know destruction and be doomed. 288



A Sage or Bard can make an Insight check (TN 22) in order to remember the lore of Bargadaras. It is said he was one of the most powerful Demons known to Raxia and was said to have destroyed a number of great kingdoms during the Durandal period, and many great wizards are said to have died by his hand. However, his true identity is unknown, and there are debates as to whether Bargadaras even existed, let alone performed all of the foul deeds attributed to him if he did. g: Force Wall Control Panel



There is a pedestal here, carved of a stone different from that found in the cave. Polished smooth, it is about 1m high and finely engraved with many letters, glowing dimly with a magical light. This pedestal controls the force wall found in "d". The engravings are words in Arcana, and by speaking the words there and holding a hand over the panel, one can turn the force wall on or off. A Sage can use an Appraise check (TN 18) to figure out how to use it. The pedestal cannot be destroyed or removed. h: Groundwater Vein



Groundwater has collected in the deeper crevasses of the cave, creating a large pond of clear water. There seems to be a slow flow of water from the eastern side of the room, heading south in the cave. This pond is connected to the spring in "b" by a groundwater vein. If a PC wishes to swim, it is 30m entirely underwater, and so a Swim check needs to be made. The PC would be swimming with the current, and so the TN is 13 if there is a light the PC can use underwater, TN 17 if not. If the PC is an Elf, or has "Underwater Aptitude", no check needs to be made. 289



If the PC is unsuccessful, they will be pulled past the spring into a narrow part of the stream and become trapped. Without aid, the PC will die. i: Room of Sealing



Inside is a room carved by hand, smoothed out from the natural walls of the rest of the cave. On the far side of the room is an altar, a large, heavy stone similar to a coffin set on top. There are three large eggs set in front of the altar; these must be the stolen dragon eggs. Also in the room are an exceptionally large Ogre, as well as a half-nude woman with thin wings coming from her back, both facing the altar. Three Ogres are standing watch, facing the only door into the room, looking to prevent unwanted visitors from entering. This room is the chamber where the ancient demon lord was said to be sealed. Three Ogres are in the 10m corridor right behind the door, while the Ogre leader and woman are performing a ritual in the 15m x 20m room beyond. The Ogres are looking to unseal Bargadaras in hopes of bringing untold destruction to Terastier. They think they can control the ancient demon lord, but unknown to them their rituals are incomplete, and the demon will never be subdued by the Ogres. If the PCs enter the corridor, the Ogre Warlord and Succubus will stop the ritual and turn to attack the party.



"You persistent insects! If you want to interfere with our ritual, we will crush you!" Enemies: Ogre Warlord x1, Succubus x1, Ogre x3 290



The Ogre Warlord has 13 Sword Shards with him and will attempt to use [Multi-Action] to make a magical attack against the Rearguard while melee attacking the Frontline. The Succubus will use magic to attack and will attempt to use "Indecent Dreams" in order to incapacitate foes. All foes will fight to the death and will not surrender. If there are 4 or fewer PCs, reduce the number of Sword Shards carried, and remove the 3 Ogres entirely. If there are 6 or more PCs, use 2 Ogre Berserkers instead of 3 Ogres. If the Barbaros are defeated, the scenario will end.



End Defeating the Ogre Warlord and Succubus and returning with Jean-Jacques will end the scenario. No special encounters will occur on the way back to Duball, though if Faraliel was with the party, she may fly them back to the city for a grand entrance. Marquis Beirre will be delighted if the PCs are able to bring back Jean-Jacques alive. In the future, the Marquis will be treated as a "friend" of the PCs (adding 400 points to their Total Reputation, as though they had spent it on the bond between characters). In addition to the reward, the party will receive 1,000 + (1d x 10) Experience Points, as well as the Experience Points for all of the monsters defeated along the way.



Subsequent Developments Through this incident, the PCs will not only become acquainted with Marquis Beirre but will also have performed a valuable service in the name of the Kingdom of Duball. The 291



party will become famous within the kingdom, and any PCs with Rider levels will be able to rent a Dragonet as a mount. At the same time, it is apparent that the Barbaros were attempting to destroy not only the kingdom, but the rest of the continent as well. A grave threat such as this cannot be ignored, and there is no doubt the Barbaros will try more and more radical plans. While adventurers will undoubtedly be drawn into this conflict, it is possible the PCs could follow up on this attack and make an excursion into Barbaros lands. However, if the PCs were underhanded and killed Faraliel, their duplicity will undoubtedly be discovered before long, and the Marquis Beirre will disavow any knowledge of the party. They will be treated as outlaws in the Dragon Kingdom and have their own bounty hunters chasing them to the ends of the earth in order to extract justice for the slain dragon.

Divine Magic of the Malevolent Gods Replacement Basic Divine Spells Priests of the Malevolent Gods have a few different spells in their arsenal than those of the Gods of Light. Specifically, the 11th level spell "Surrender", the 12th level spell "Sacred Field", and the 13th level spell "Erase Soulscar" are not learned. Instead, the 11th level spell "Resignation", the 12th level spell "Vice Field", and the 13th level spell "Instant Soulscar" are learned in their place. Resignation Target 1 Character

Bestiary There are many new monsters to add to Sword World, ranging from weak Level 1 monsters to powerful Level 20 monsters. When using such high-level monsters, they will often have a number of powerful abilities, and so the GM should be aware of what the PCs can do in combat and adjust accordingly. On the other hand, if it appears that the PCs will overwhelm the monsters with little effort, think about powering the monster up using Sword Shards. New Additions This book adds a few new additions to monster effects. "/ Can't" Special Abilities As with some spells, there are some monster special abilities that just cannot be resisted. Whenever such an ability is used, it will automatically take effect, and does not give the targets a chance to resist or evade the effect. Special Abilities using Multiple Sections There are a few new abilities of monsters that require multiple sections to work in conjunction with each other in order to be used. In such cases, the sections needed must still be alive, and must not have taken a Major Action that turn. After using such an ability, all sections used will be considered to have taken their Major Action for the turn. Sometimes, there will be abilities that don't require a specific set of sections but will grow stronger the more sections are 297



available to be used. For example, an ability may deal "2d x (Remaining Sections)" damage, where the (Remaining Sections) is however many sections remain that have not taken their Major Action that turn. Combat with NPCs When fighting humanoid NPCs with specific character data, a Monster Knowledge check can still be made to figure out how strong that NPC is. The target for that check is going to be the character's Adventurer Level +3, and if successful the target's race, classes (and levels), and any equipment will be known. Named equipment can be determined by a subsequent Appraise check to determine what abilities it has. Upon defeat, the NPC will award (Adventurer Level x 10) experience points.

This curse has a target power of 21 for "Remove Curse” but can also be broken if the target drinks the blood of the same Leanan Sidhe that has drunk theirs. This ability can only be used once per day per target. 1 - 3: The target will act as though the Leanan Sidhe is a trusted ally and will try to sabotage any combat between the Leanan Sidhe and the party. The target will help the Leanan Sidhe, so long as it does not cause any loss of life, property, or status. 4 - 5: The Leanan Sidhe's wants, and needs will be the highest priority, with even the target's own life, property and status being secondary. When in combat, the target will at first take no action against the Leanan Sidhe but will move to help them as an ally once their HP has been reduced. 6: The Leanan Sidhe is an equal to the target, who is willing to part with everything short of their own life in order to keep the Leanan Sidhe alive and happy. The target will not hesitate to join the Leanan Sidhe should combat break out. 7: The target exists solely to serve the Leanan Sidhe, and would die for the Leanan Sidhe, were they to command it. [Spy Knowledge] The Leanan Sidhe is immune to the effects of Swords of Protection. 303



A Barbaros created by the whims of an immortal Nosferatu, the Leanan Sidhe appears as a beautiful woman with pale skin, a slim body, and sharp fangs. Usually seen as a servant to the highest-ranking Barbaros in the area, they can also slip past the protection offered by Swords of Protection in order to carry out espionage missions. Unlike other Nosferatu, the Leanan Sidhe can walk around in sunlight without any ill effects, making them incredibly dangerous foes if they need to dirty their hands in combat. Leanan Sidhe, when working in human territory, will try and find their target, get close to them, and then drink their blood. Doing so puts their target under their thrall, while the target thinks of the Leanan Sidhe as a new lover, living their life as normal otherwise. Due to the effects of the curse, however, the target will become weakened and pale as time passes.

[Flight] A Succubus receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee attacks) and Evasion while flying. Appearing as a beautiful person with bat wings, these Barbaros are commonly called a Succubus, though technically males of the species are an Incubus. Regardless of the name, these Barbaros will invade dreams and turn them quite salacious, draining energy from their victims through lewd acts. They can even cause sleep in those who would not normally sleep, meaning no one is off limits to their energy draining abilities.

Additionally, every Ogre Warlord has a fancy sword, more treasure than weapon, that shows their dedication to the Barbaros cause.

This curse has a target power of 27 for "Remove Curse” but can also be broken if the target drinks the blood of the same Leanan Sidhe that has drunk theirs. This ability can only be used once per day per target. 1 - 3: The target will act as though the Leanan Sidhe is a trusted ally and will try to sabotage any combat between the Leanan Sidhe and the party. The target will help the Leanan Sidhe, so long as it does not cause any loss of life, property, or status. 4 - 5: The Leanan Sidhe's wants, and needs will be the highest priority, with even the target's own life, property and status being secondary. When in combat, the target will at first take no action against the Leanan Sidhe but will move to help them as an ally once their HP has been reduced. 6: The Leanan Sidhe is an equal to the target, who is willing to part with everything short of their own life in order to keep the Leanan Sidhe alive 308

The target will not hesitate to join the Leanan Sidhe should combat break out. 7: The target exists solely to serve the Leanan Sidhe, and would die for the Leanan Sidhe, were they to command it. [Bloody Change / 20 (27) / Will / Negated] On a successful Claw attack, the Leanan Sidhe can choose to drink blood instead of dealing damage. When doing so, the target must make a Willpower check or be affected by the Leanan Sidhe's curse, whose effects depend upon how many times they have failed the Willpower check. This curse has a target power of 26 for "Remove Curse” but can also be broken if the target drinks the blood of the same Leanan Sidhe that has drunk theirs. This ability can only be used once per day per target. 1st time: The Leanan Sidhe knows the target's name and will be able to take their appearance. 2nd time: The Leanan Sidhe knows the target's most common mannerisms, quirks, and tone and can reproduce them, though close friends and family will notice something off. Additionally, the Leanan Sidhe knows the target's family and close acquaintances. 3rd time: The Leanan Sidhe can perfectly copy all of the target's mannerisms, quirks, and tone, undetectable to even close friends and family of the target. The target begins to notice they are becoming more forgetful but will rationalize it away. 4th time: The Leanan Sidhe gains a wide range of the target's memories and can call upon a good deal of the character's knowledge. The target now suffers from significant memory loss and will have some trouble with everyday life. Past experiences, old promises, and even locations of stored items and equipment are all difficult, if not impossible, to recall. 5th time: The Leanan Sidhe gains the lowest-level class of the target (randomly determined if more than one), while the target loses access to that class entirely. 6th time: The Leanan Sidhe knows all of the target's memories, as well as the highest-level class of the target (randomly determined if more than one). The target will have lost enough memory and ability to the point where even daily life is difficult. 7th time: The Leanan Sidhe has access to all of the target's combat abilities, Combat Feats, all classes, etc., and for all intents and purposes can become an exact copy of the target. Meanwhile, the target is little more than a living corpse. [Spy Knowledge] The Leanan Sidhe is immune to the effects of Swords of Protection. 309



Among the Leanan Sidhe, there are only a few elites who are skilled enough to call themselves "Assassins". Under the command of older Nosferatu, these Assassins will infiltrate large cities in order to find and impersonate important targets, whether high-ranking officials or famous adventurers. Once this impersonation is complete, the Assassin will open the city to Barbaros invasions, taking down civilization from the inside.

The target will follow the Vampire Rose's orders for 10 seconds (1 round) but has a -2 penalty on all Actions as they are not in full control of their body. This ability happens automatically at the beginning of the Vampire Rose's turn, with the Vampire Rose able to give commands as a Minor Action during their turn. This is a Psychic-type effect. 314



[Double Claws] When dealing damage with a Claw attack, damage is rolled twice and added during damage calculation. [Blood Suck] On a successful Claw attack, the Vampire Rose (Vampire Form) can choose to drink blood instead, dealing 2d + 30 damage. The Vampire Rose heals HP equal to the total damage dealt.

[Vampire Form] As a Minor Action, the Vampire Rose transforms into its original vampire form. For more information, see the Vampire Rose (Vampire Form) data. A Vampire Rose cannot transform during the same turn they use their [Bat Form] ability. [Bat Dance / Can't] The Vampire Rose (Bat Form) swarm around a single target in the same battlefield, dealing Physical damage equal to 1/3 the Vampire Rose's Current HP (rounded down) + 10. Because of the number and size of the bats, this attack cannot be Evaded. [Swarm] When targeting the Vampire Rose (Bat Form) or another character in the same battlefield, the Combat Feats [Precise Shot], [Guided Magic] and [Magic Control] cannot be used. Vampires are immortal Nosferatu, with shining red eyes and sharp, pointed fangs. In order to keep themselves alive, they must feed on the blood of humanoids. Many vampires can trace their lineage to the head of the clan, proven leaders both in and out of combat. However, some Lesser Vampires are initiated into the clan through a "Sanguine Vow", a bloody deal from the head of the clan drawn up in order to introduce new vampires into the clan. These vampires are often leading a number of Lesser Vampires, as well as a few Leanan Sidhe. In order to become even a Lesser Vampire, however, A Vampire must perform a ritual called a "Blood Kiss". This ritual involves giving their own blood to the vampire-to-be over the course of seven consecutive nights. After the seventh Blood Kiss, the recipient rises as a Lesser Vampire, in thrall to their Vampire elder and unable to disobey their orders. Vampire Roses are one of a few different branches under the Frau clan, along with the Vampire Lily, Vampire Daisy, and Vampire Shamrock branches. Each of these is so named as the vampires will exude a faint 317



scent of the flower they are named after, even if they have been reduced to ashes by adventurers. Vampire Roses in particular often dress in flashy red velvet outfits and move with an unearthly grace. The scent of roses is always about them, and this scent has been known to be disorientating and can fascinate the simple-minded.

A rotund mammal with thick, pebbly grey skin, a Hippopotamus is actually made mostly of thick muscle, not fat. While not always traveling in the tightest of groups, Hippos will rarely travel alone, and others are little more than a bellowing roar away. They are quite mild animals, only becoming hostile if attacked, or to protect their young. Once provoked, however, they are quite powerful animals, and have incredible strength for an animal of their size. If a Hippopotamus feels like it is outmatched, it will attempt to call on others to help take down threats tougher than itself.

A large turtle, ranging anywhere from 1 to 3 m in size, it gets its name because of its shell being as hard as iron. These turtles are fairly docile, slow to move and unlikely to cause any harm. However, because their shell is used in a variety of crafts, overfishing has led to a decline in their population and the Iron Turtle is becoming harder to find in the wild.

When the Body falls to 0 HP or lower, this effect disappears. [Trample with Both Feet] The Elephant may Trample twice during the same turn but must attack two different targets when doing so. Elephants are massive mammals, often 5m tall or larger, found in grasslands and wilderness. Despite its size, they are fairly easygoing and tend not to attack unless threatened. Some Elephants have even been trained as exotic mounts, instead of training horses. Their tusks are highly valued for crafts and fashion, and ivory poachers are a constant threat.

Each round, the entangled target is hit automatically by the Grizzly Bear, dealing 2d + 16 damage, and cannot move or make any melee or ranged attacks. Removing the bear hug requires an (Adventurer Level + Strength bonus) Check opposed by the Grizzly Bear's Accuracy check. This check may be made by another person as well. If successful, the target is not entangled anymore. The Grizzly Bear cannot attack another target while holding a Bear Hug but can release it as a Minor Action. [Power Attack] The Grizzly Bear can deal an additional 4 damage on their next attack. However, any Evasion Check made by the Grizzly Bear this turn receives a -2 penalty. A large bear with grey-brown fur, Grizzlies can stand on their hind legs to intimidate would-be predators, standing around 2-3m tall when doing so. In the summer, they will rarely appear to those wandering in the wilderness, but as the seasons change, they will attack livestock in order to build up bulk for their winter hibernation. Grizzlies are especially dangerous during the springtime, as they are ravenously hungry after their hibernation. Bear paws, specifically the right paw, are used as ingredients in high-end cuisine, as the right paw is the one used to scoop honey. It is said that honey has infused itself into the skin of the bear, giving the paw an almost sweet, gamey flavor. The left paw, however, is rarely used and often discarded as there is little demand for it.

While not a great threat on its own, Spin Blossoms have been noted to swarm into large areas and have ruined small communities. Because of this threat, they are often the target of low-level extermination missions for adventurers, in the hopes of culling numbers before the blossoms become dangerous. On rare occasions, the flowers will still rotate even when removed from the stem and can be sold to the right buyer for a decent bit of coin.

342



A Belladonna appears at first glance to be a green-skinned humanoid, but upon closer investigation is actually a plant whose vines have been so entwined with each other they are able to take the shape of a human. By taking a humanoid shape, the Belladonna is able to move much more easily to attack prey, and will drain nutrients from anything it has killed, animal or otherwise. It will also hide in forests, using its plant body to disguise itself before surprising prey. The vines of a Belladonna contain a horrific poison, causing high fevers, nausea and even death from just a touch. However, the leaves from the Belladonna's vines can be turned into an antidote for this contact poison, so it is recommended to slay the Belladonna before the poison spreads throughout the victim's body.

[Triple Action] The Yggdrasil Sapling may take three Major Actions during each of its turns. • Branches [Long Branches] Each Branch can make a melee attack on any target within 20m, whether they're in the same battlefield or not. [Branch Cover] If the Yggdrasil Sapling's Trunk would be attacked by a melee or ranged attack, a spell with "Area: Shot", or other similar abilities, a Branch may move in the way of the attack, taking the damage instead automatically (no Evasion, Fortitude or Willpower check needed). Each Branch may only do this once per round. This does not protect the Trunk from "Area: Target" spells or wide-area effects. [Branch Flurry / Can't] The Yggdrasil Sapling thrashes its Branches at a single target, dealing 2d + 5 x (Remaining Branches) Physical damage. Because of the speed and size of the flailing branches, this attack cannot be Evaded. All remaining Branches must be able to take a Major Action to use this ability. In Raxia, the name "Yggdrasil" is known as the name of the great World Tree, the largest tree known to mankind, that has been rooted in Raxia since the beginnings of the Schnell Civilization. This young tree is but a sapling of another Yggdrasil, the result of a seed flung far from the original tree that has taken root. Though it is young compared to the original World Tree, the Yggdrasil Sapling is still large enough to scrape the heavens and remains unable to be accurately measured using current equipment. It is said that the history of Raxia lies engraved in its leaves and branches, and those who are able to find even a fallen twig of the tree can find themselves with a wealth of knowledge. 344

Skeleton Soldiers can be created using the Spiritualism spell "Create Undead", costing 20 MP for each Skeleton Soldier raised.

However, once the Core uses Object (2,000G) any spells, or either the "Command Weapon" or "Rush" abilities, the Core is easily identified. Melee attacks don't directly identify the Core, but knowledgeable characters are able to make inferences based upon the damage received. • Core [Spiritualism Magic (Level 8) / Magic Power 10 (17)] A Poltergeist may cast Spiritualism spells as an eighth-level Conjurer. For individual spell effects, refer to that spell's description. [Magic Aptitude] A Poltergeist can use the Combat Feats [Metamagic/Distance], [Guided Magic], [Magic Convergence], [Magic Control] and [Wordbreak]. [Command Weapon / Can't] The Poltergeist possesses the weapon of a target in the same battlefield up to 20m away and forces it to attack its wielder. Because the weapon is attacking the character holding it, this attack cannot be Evaded. The damage dealt is equal to the weapon's Power + 8, but the attack is 347



otherwise the same as though the wielder used the weapon normally. This ability cannot command any Gun category weapons. • Objects [Rush / Can't] The Poltergeist causes all remaining Objects to simultaneously rush at a single target in the same battlefield, dealing 2d x (Remaining Objects) to the target. Because of the erratic movement of the various Objects, this attack cannot be Evaded. All remaining Objects must be able to take a Major Action to use this ability. Poltergeists are formed when someone passes away while still holding an unusually strong attachment to a particular object. This object becomes the core of the Poltergeist, regardless of what the object may be, and through this object the spirit may manipulate other objects in order to affect the living world. Typically, common Poltergeist cores are various pieces of jewelry, favored items of the original owner, or other innocuous mementos. The commonality of such objects makes it easy for the Poltergeist to hide its core among other objects it is manipulating. However, only the core of the Poltergeist can cast spells or manipulate other objects, so it becomes very apparent where the core is when combat begins.

The attack must be made with the weapon currently wielded, and Active Combat Feats may be used as normal. If there are multiple valid targets, the attack target is chosen at random. [Double Action] The Banshee may take two Major Actions during each of its turns. A Banshee is the vengeful spirit of a woman who died in sorrow after suffering a terrible betrayal, seeking to share its fate with others. Its screams can shake even the most stoic of adventurers, and it is said that death comes to those who've heard the wail of a Banshee. Though they tend to appear as a beautiful woman, Banshees turn as ugly as a mummy when unleashing their wail on others. Upon defeat, a Banshee will disappear entirely, leaving behind only beautiful crystals, physical remnants of their powerful emotions.

Ghost Ships also tend to have a number of undead crew, sailors from the original ship doomed to sail with the Ghost Ship forever. However, some unfortunate souls lost at sea may also find themselves drawn to a traveling Ghost Ship, and it is said that there is even a Ghost Ship out there with Dragon Zombies on board as well.

[Fog Body] Bludgeoning weapons treat the Wraith's Defense as 5 points higher. In addition, Thrown weapons deal no damage. The Wraith automatically halves any incoming Magical damage, even before any resistance checks. [Magic Aptitude] A Wraith can use the Combat Feats [Guided Magic], [Magic Convergence], [Magic Control], [Metamagic/Targets], [Metamagic/Accuracy] and [Wordbreak]. When using the spell "Wraith Form", this is the form the Conjurer takes. This data is for a typical Wraith, one whose body has been lost for some reason, and cannot return to their original form. However, stronger Conjurers will make for stronger Wraiths, adding their own abilities to the spiritual form. However, there are some Wraiths who had never been a Conjurer in their previous life, and these so-called "natural" Wraiths are curious oddities to those who study monsters. Though the Wraith's body is formed out of fog and mist, it is unnaturally cold. In rare cases, the magical power of the Wraith will itself freeze and coalesce into a solid lump of frozen mana. This frozen mana is so cold that, under normal weather, it will not melt, making it very valuable among researchers on the open market. 356

Dragon Zombies are the reanimated corpse of a dragon, decayed over a number of years and returned to unlife after being corrupted. Typically, Dragon Zombies are of lower intelligence due to their brain having decomposed over years, but rarely there are intelligent Dragon Zombies capable of speech and magic. However, the organs that would produce fire in a living dragon have rotted and decayed, and now the Dragon Zombie can only exhale a rotten miasma. Often, Dragon Zombies have some sort of unfinished business in the world of the living, whether to get revenge on their slayer, to protect the remnants of their plundered horde, or something else altogether. The need to take care of this business drives the Dragon Zombie, to the point where nothing will stand in their way in order to accomplish their goals.

As the disease deals damage, golden spots spread from the wound, eventually turning the whole-body gold. If the target dies from this disease, after 24 hours their entire body is stiff gold, and the character cannot be resurrected. The Golden Serum earned from defeating an Alchemy Tooth can be used to cure this disease (but not the HP lost). If taken in advance, it will prevent the character from catching this disease for up to 24 hours. [Continuous Attack] If an Alchemy Tooth successfully hits a target in melee, they may make a second attack on that same target without rolling Accuracy. The Alchemy Tooth is a small snake construct that was designed to deliver poisons and diseases through its bite. This particular construct has a bacterium that causes what is called the Golden Disease, as it eventually turns a person's entire body into gold. It is thought that the ancient wizard who created the Alchemy Tooth did so in order to collect creatures, obsessing over anatomy that they could not carve themselves. While someone with the Golden Disease eventually dies and stiffens into a golden statue, their entire body is not actually gold. However, unscrupulous salesmen will attempt to sell these bodies as golden statues in hopes of duping people out of their hard-earned money.

However, it can fly through the air and use the sharp fangs that line its binding in order to attack any would-be thieves, appearing to laugh after doing so. It is thought that this is actually a trap monster, built to disguise itself among other books and protect the wizard's home and research from intruders. Numerous spells are written within, and the Evil Index is capable of using these spells in order to protect itself and the wizard's trove.

(250G) [Passenger / 2] Ten extra characters can ride a Skyship as a passenger. These passengers can take Major Actions without being penalized for bad footing and can freely move around on the Skyship. Mounting a Skyship as a passenger is a Major Action, but dismounting is only a Minor Action. A small ship that can fly through the sky, a Skyship is a wondrous sight to see soaring through the skies of Raxia. While wreckages have been found buried deep in old ruins around the Terastieran continent, nowadays Skyships are far more common to see formed via the Artificer spell, though they are not quite as durable as the custom-built ones. Able to hold up to 10 passengers along with the captain, a Skyship is surprisingly roomy, and some even have sails in order to take advantage of the wind currents while flying from place to place.

Able to fly at high speeds, its weapons are able to cause destruction on a massive scale. The interior of the Dragon Fortress is able to hold 10 passengers comfortably, and it was thought that these massive machines were used more to defend against invasions and attempts at declaring war. It is thought to be the top of the line when it comes to mobile defense and comes outfitted with a wide variety of weapons. However, its whereabouts are unknown, and so the leaders of various regions have sent out teams in order to help find the missing behemoth.

A humanoid golem created entirely out of the magical metal mithril; the Mithril Golem is a 10m tall behemoth. The sheer amounts of mithril required to create one make them incredibly rare to find, though it is assumed they are protecting incredibly valuable treasure whenever one is found. However, the Mithril Golem is one of the most dangerous monsters known to exist in the entirety of Raxia, so defeating one and taking the treasure it, guards is much easier said than done. In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Conjurer class, they automatically know the lore and value of the mithril Golem. A Monster Knowledge check is still required in order to determine the mithril Golem's Weakness.

Wyverns are an offshoot of dragons, similar in appearance, though their wings have taken the place of their forelimbs. These particular Wyverns are covered in fine black scales that glitter with a dark luster while the Wyvern is in motion. Fully outstretched, the bat-like wings average a span of around 10m, giving the Wyvern a fearsome appearance even in the dark. It is the patagium, or membrane, of these wings that are highly coveted, as they are used as the basis for a number of premium leather products.

[Riddle / 20 (27) / Adventurer Level + Intelligence Bonus / Negated] Once per turn, as a Minor Action, the Sphinx can ask one character within 100m a riddle. The target then makes an opposed (Adventurer Level + Intelligence bonus) check in order to come up with the correct answer, becoming unable to move or take any Actions for 30 seconds (3 rounds) if they fail this check. This temporary paralysis is a Curse-type effect and will affect characters even if they cannot hear the Sphinx. A successful "Remove Curse" will end this effect prematurely. • Body [Large Body] As long as the Sphinx Body's HP is 1 or more, the Head receives a +4 bonus to melee Evasion checks. When the Body falls to 0 HP or lower, this effect disappears. • Wings [Flight] A Sphinx receives a +1 bonus to Accuracy (only for melee attacks) and Evasion while flying. If one of the Wings falls to 0 HP or lower, this ability cannot be used. The Sphinx is a mythical beast about 5m tall, with the body of a lion, wings of an eagle, and the face of a beautiful human woman. Highly intelligent and a powerful wizard in their own right, Sphinxes can speak any language and cast most known magic spells, regardless of Class. Sphinxes are often seen in serving as gatekeepers for ancient magicians, welcoming those who can answer their riddles as friends of the magician. However, failing to come up with the correct response will lead to a dire fate.

If one of the Wings falls to 0 HP or lower, this ability cannot be used. • Right Wing [Rain of Thunder / 21 (28) / Fort / Half] The Hraesvelgr can cause the thunder on its right wing to downpour onto the battlefield, shooting it up to 20m away. The thunder will detonate on contact, becoming a 6m radius electrical shockwave that deals 2d + 20 Thunder-type damage to up to 20 targets. This ability cannot be used in consecutive turns. [Thundering Wing / 20 (27) / Fort / Negated] A character attacking the Hraesvelgr's Right Wing must make a Fortitude check, taking 2d + 10 Thunder-type damage if they fail to resist. This check is made regardless of if the original attack hits or not. • Left Wing [Razor Wind / 21 (28) / Fort / Half] The Hraesvelgr can shoot the wind circling its left wing up to 20m away. This wind will erupt on contact, becoming a 6m radius hurricane that deals 2d + 20 Wind-type damage to up to 20 targets. This ability cannot be used in consecutive turns. [Gusting Wing / 20 (27) / Fort / Negated] A character attacking the Hraesvelgr's Left Wing must make a Fortitude check, taking 2d + 10 Wind-type damage if they fail to resist. This check is made regardless of if the original attack hits or not. Appearing as a giant eagle, the Hraesvelgr is said to be the father of wind and thunder. Its wingspan can reach 20m, and each wing has control over one of those elements, destroying everything they touch. The Hraesvelgr also detests the undead, finding them through the soulscars they carry. However, even those with soulscars that aren't undead, such as nightmares and even some veteran adventurers, are at risk of being torn apart by the Hraesvelgr.

Accuracy and Damage is the same as a normal attack, and this attack cannot be used in consecutive rounds. A Peluda is a massive beast, measuring 40m long, with the body of a snake, four clawed legs, and hair like a lion's mane all throughout its body. Additionally, massive spikes jut out from its back at regular intervals, whose touch can inject a massive dose of poison into a target even after the Peluda is dead. However, the poison from these spikes can be used by researchers in order to produce valuable antivenoms, and so it is worthwhile for adventurers to go out and collect this monster's terrible poison. There are also rumors that a monster has singlehandedly burned down a city overnight in a fit of rage, and it is commonly thought this monster was a Peluda.

They only wish to see cleanliness and may even offer to create a hot spring in order to help travelers wash away dirt and grime. However, Banniks are known to become irrationally angry if someone dirty refuses to head to a hot spring and will lash out in anger. 380

[Swarming Attack / Can't] The Muryans swarm around all other targets in the same battlefield, dealing Physical damage equal to 2d + 1/5 the Swarm of Muryans's Current HP (rounded down). Because of the number and size of the Muryans attacking, this attack cannot be Evaded. [Swarm] A Swarm of Muryans is immune to criticals and cannot be attacked with the "Throw" Wrestling weapon.

Muryans are tiny fairies that travel in swarms and will typically be seen as a part of a large group, rather than individually. Because of their small size, they tend to avoid conflict when possible, and are rather easygoing. If a group of Muryans sees someone who's not having a good time, they will try and put on a little song and dance to bring some cheer. In addition, if the PC has any levels in the Fairy Tamer class, they automatically know the lore and value of the Muryans.

[Tree Assimilation] As a Major Action, the Dryad can step into a chosen tree and hide inside, becoming invulnerable to attacks. Burning a tree where a Dryad is hiding will force the Dryad out, otherwise exiting a tree is also a Major Action.

These tree fairies take the shape of a beautiful, yet mysterious woman with long, flowing green hair wrapped around her limbs. Often appearing nude, Dryads are known to be man-charmers, and will have a pile of bodies at the base of their tree.

A Puck is a tree spirit that takes the appearance of a small boy, dressed in green clothes and hat. Often seen flying around, they are happy fairies who love music, and will often sing or whistle along to a tune they enjoy.

Skadis are drawn to strong men and will occasionally give them a jewel to call on the fairy in times of need. When such a gifted man dies, the Skadi will take the corpse away, and it is said that the body is stored in the Skadi's ice palace deep within the snowy mountains.

[Shapeshift] As a Major Action, the Doppelganger can change its shape into another's, with the quality of the transformation based on the time the Doppelganger has observed the target. A quick glance at a target allows the Doppelganger to copy the target's physical appearance, including any belongings. One minute's observation (6 rounds) allows for the copying of the target's tone and mannerisms, while one hour's observation gives a complete copy of the target's abilities and memory. This last transformation will also allow the Doppelganger access to any Classes and magic the target may have learned. This ability lasts until the Doppelganger reverts to its base form, taking a Major Action to do so. • Lower Body [Tall] As long as the Doppelganger Lower Body's HP is 1 or more, the Upper Body receives a +4 bonus to melee Evasion checks. When the Lower Body falls to 0 HP or lower, this effect disappears. One of the high-rank demons, a Doppelganger's base form is that of a black-skinned giant 3m tall. A single red line splits the face where its mouth would be, but its face is otherwise featureless. When it transforms, it can take on the appearance and memory of a given target, based on how long the Doppelganger was able to watch the target, and can use all of the targets equipment, Classes, and abilities. The Doppelganger can still use its original spells, abilities and Combat Feats while transformed, giving them an advantage if they get discovered while in a different form.
