Welcome to Arvelas

Arvelas is an imagined world shaped by stories, games, and the people willing to walk its roads. For more than thirty-five years, players have taken on the roles of wanderers, schemers, survivors, and heroes. Through their choices, Arvelas has grown, shifted, and in some cases remembered them as legends.

This is a world built through collaboration and friendship. Its lore, rules, and traditions draw inspiration from many games and stories, but are ultimately shaped by the players at the table and the adventures they undertake.

If you dare, pack your traveling bag and begin your journey. You can explore Arvelas by browsing this site, discovering its rules, or reading stories set within the world.

"Remember it's a collaboration art, and everyone at the table is working together to have a good time and make some memories."
-B. Dave Walters (Dungeon Master)

Regroups hydras and hydrakins. Hydras are powerful creatures with multiple heads and large wings. They are one of the Ancients, having prospered during the third age.

Map: Erlinia

Autrefois une province d’'Istagon, Erlinia est le royaume des fameux Chevaliers de la foi. Ici, les humains sont formés en hommes d'’honneur et de paroles, défendeurs des plus démunis, serviteurs d'’Odin le sévère. Mais malgré leur honneur, le royaume est proie aux animosités entre sa noblesse et déchiré depuis que la main des Griffiths d'Istagon n’est plus là pour les tenir sur le droit chemin.
