Everania is my homebrew D&D world. This page will mostly contain lore and setting information, and not so much NPC information (at least for now). While this world was originally made to a d&d campaign, I like to write short stories about the characters and worldbuild like I am making a regular fantasy world rather than just a D&D world.

I want to warn anyone looking at this page that this WILL have spoilers.

Players' Guide

Basic History

Everania has a long history that spans far past mortal memory. All anyone but the major deities know is that existence began with a mythical mountain named The Gods' Summit, and from it sprang the major deities, who would later create everything.

Possible Player Character Species

• Aasimar are humanoids with some divine blessing. Aasimar are extremely rare, but can be found anywhere in any community. As an aasimar, your biological parents determine how you look. For example, an aasimar of human parents would look human; an aasimar of elven parents would look like an elf; etc. Aasimar live 50% longer than their parents. So if an aasimar was born of human parents, they would live 120 years old on average (average human lifespan (80/2)+80). While the stereotypical aasimar appears human, they actually appear like their parents (minus their “celestial” parent). Aasimar are seen as blessings from the gods. All aasimar have a specific celestial patron (not like a warlock patron; more like someone who commissions an artist) who gave the blessing. These patrons are often seen and referred to as an additional parent to the child. These patrons can be the gods directly, one of the god’s angels, or another celestial. Oftentimes, parents who give birth to an aasimar rename their last name to something related to the celestial who blessed their child. One is able to tell from birth that the child is an aasimar, as they are born with wings. Protector and Scourge aasimar have bird-like wings, while Fallen aasimar’s wings appear like (if a bird was really unhealthy/had a majority of their feathers plucked out)
• Dwarves are a short group of people whose ancestral home is in Krasheim. They first made their homes in the mountains of Krasheim, but can be found everywhere in abundance. Possible subspecies: Hill, Mountain, Expanse. In Dwarf communities or at home, they speak Dwarvish.
• Elves look like tall humans with pointy ears. A sprawling nation of Elves is in Dridales, where the Elves first entered the Material Plane from the Feywild, but they are found everywhere in abundance. Possible subspecies are High Elves, Wood Elves, Expanse Elves, Drow, and Eladrin. Expanse, Wood, and High Elves tend to speak Elvish as their first language. Drow tend to have [Undercommon] as their native language, and Eladrin tend to speak Sylvan. Eladrins'creature type is Fey rather than Humanoid.
• Firbolgs sort of resemble cows and are known for their protection of nature. If they grew up in the Feywild, they speak Sylvan; if they grow up on the Material Plane, they tend to speak Common.
• Genasi are the offspring of an Elemental and a mortal, and therefore are flavored as one type of element. They are most commonly found in Mistshore, but a few live on other continents. Possible subspecies are Air, Earth, Fire, and Water Genasi. They tend to speak Common.
• Gnomes are similarly known for their protection and love of nature to Firbolgs, but are also quite small. Possible subspecies are Forest and Rock gnomes. In Gnomish communities, they speak Elvish.
• Goblins, unlike in official D&D lore, are well known and well loved members of every community. They are small and green with long ears.
• Half-Elves are half-elf, half something else. Half-Elves can be found anywhere.
• Half-Orcs are half-orc, half something else. Half-Orcs can be found anywhere there is an abundance of orcs (everywhere except Caela and Dridales). If they were raised by their Orc parent, they speak Dwarvish.
• Halflings are the shortest of the humanoid species. Possible Subspecies are Lightfoot and Stout Halflings. (Fun culture thing: halflings have a tradition of never cutting their hair… until their coming of age ceremony. At which point, their hair typically gets cut to about shoulder length or less, and that’s where it stays for the rest of their life. You do not have to follow this, but it is a canon thing). They speak Common.
• Humans are the every-man of Everania. Humans can be found everywhere in abundance, with the exception of Dridales. They speak Common.
• Kobolds are small lizard-like people. They are not very common, but when you find one, you most likely find many. They tend to live in solitude, with the exception of their family.
• Satyrs (or Fauns, whatever you want to call them) are human on top, goat on the bottom. Their creature type is Fey, rather than Humanoid. They can be mostly found in Dridales and the Feywild. It is rare to see Satyrs elsewhere. They most often speak Sylvan.
• Tieflings are not related (like blood related) from any creature from the Hells, but they are caused by a mortal making a deal with Devils. This is not to be taken as a punishment, it is just the way the magical deal warps the mortal who makes them. If anything, people look upon Tieflings in pity, knowing that one of their parents are the one who, in their eyes, made a huge mistake. They are not common, but technically can be from any continent. They speak the languages their parents raised them with.

Deities

The major deities (listed below) all have a "complete" or "perfect" [whole?], which is made up of different "Aspects." Some people worship the whole Perfect, while others worship a specific Aspect.

Material Plane Locations

Caalartiska

The most common humanoid species in Caalartiska are Expanse Dwarves and Expanse Elves.

Caela

This continent was the first place made by the gods in the Material Plane, specifically designed as a home for them. Nobody enters or exits without permission, which is to say, no one can get there. All anyone knows about it is that it is the farthest northern continent, and that The Gods' Summit is somewhere on it.

Cloudmoor

Cloudmoor is the second smallest continent, but it manages to fit three city-states.

Magebrook is the biggest and has the biggest economy. It acts as a defacto leader over Cloudmoor's international relations. Its a monarchy run by the Dawnbringer royal family. Magebrook is a pretty welcoming metropolis; any and all species are welcome and make their homes here. The Elf population are mainly High Elves. It controls the towns surrounding the gulf named after the city: Brittlebarrow, Bareport, Whalereach, Stormfall, Stormvale, and Southbell. Magebrook is also home to the Bards College.

Dawnpoint is the second largest city on this continent. It is a theocracy, ruled by the Temple of Enia, but is also home to temples to every major deity. Festivals held in this city tend to swing towards celebrating the sun god. Dawnpoint is a circular city, with three rings. The outer ring is split into two: the left is the lower class residential ring, and the right is the Marketplace Half Ring. The middle ring is designated for the noble and upper class houses. The innermost ring is the Temple Ring. The largest temple is on the eastern side, and is dedicated to Enia. Generally, the farther to the east in the district a building is, the higher the status it is (to be closer to where the sun rises). It controls the two towns to the north and south for food production: Glimmertide and Suncross.

Whiterock is the smallest city on Cloudmoor, and is located on the north western side of the continent. It is protected by a river and mountains to its north, and by a forest to the East. Whiterock makes just enough food with its farms to support the population, and it makes its money by selling what the people mine up. It is almost small enough to be the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, but not quite. The population of Whiterock is mostly humans, dwarves, and elves, but a couple of halflings and gnomes. The majority of Elves are Wood Elves, and the majority of Dwarves are Mountain Dwarves. Whiterock's government is run by the military because the city regularly suffers attacks from fiends. Because of these attacks, it is hypothesized that there is a portal to the Hells deep within the mountain. The town is named after the largest mountain on the continent, which Whiterock also sits at its base.

Dridales

Dridales is the continent on the far western side of the world. It's denizins are mostly elves and fey creatures. It is extremely isolationist, so any non-fey or non-elf are mostly kept to a few key cities on its edge. This continent holds the oldest mortal settlements in the Material Plane.

Sirion is the biggest and most powerful country on this continent, and perhaps even the whole plane. It's capital is Silvyr.

The majority of the population are elves: high elves (37%), wood elves (36%), drow (6%), eladrin (10%), and expanse elves (10%). The last 1% are other species.

Dustrun

Dustrun is a desert

Mistshore

Mistshore is a lush jungle. Mistshore has permanent [portals] to the Elemental Plane on it, as well as plenty of temporary portals. Tu’uhi is the oldest city on Mistshore. Oceanmire.

Krasheim

Khaghrim is the main city on Krasheim. It is located in a cave on the largest island of the archipelago.
