Living Arcanis

Arcanis – A shattered empire

Come to the world of Arcanis. A world of danger, politics and adventure.  A world of greys, not black and white. A world when you must use your words and wits to survive, not just your sword.

The world of Arcanis is in a time of strife. The mighty Coryani empire is tearing itself apart in civil war. The republic of Altheria is beset by lizardmen from the savage Ssethregorian empire.  The kingdom of Milandir’s young king is beset on all sides by those that think he has not the experience, wisdom or years to rule. And the Wall of the Gods, the great mountain range to the north that trapped the raging hoards of demons and devils, has fallen.

How will you help shape the shattered empires of Arcanis?

Three games will be offered on Saturday using the RPGA timetable for scheduling (sessions A, B, C).

Games may be played as part of the Living Arcanis campaign or using one of a selection of pregenerated characters as a stand-alone game.
