Description "Long long ago, a powerful being was created by an unknown provenance. This Prime entity, in turn, created a world and a People to help search for purpose in this newfound life. The People studied and explored and advanced, until they finally had enough knowledge and resources to build the great Conduit, which they believed they could use to share in the Prime’s consciousness and combine their efforts.
The Prime was both offended and threatened by this new technology, and split the people to slow their advancement: over the next generation, souls were reborn into stranger and stranger bodies, resulting in the many races we now know. But in a tremendous and final surge of power from the Conduit, the Prime fractured as well, though the being barely noticed until its varying aspects had split into the many warring Shards that make up our pantheon today, or so they say."

Basically, my friend UncleWhisky and I decided we wanted to invent a tabletop RPG setting for fun, and so after a lot of excited brainstorming and development we started realising own world, with our own set of classes and races. I'm really proud of what we made and I wanted to draw up some concept art for them!

First up are the Wyrms! We had this idea of one of the races being draconic, and we both agreed that more RPGs need to just let you play a straight-up dragon. They have kind of a weird religion, since they're the only ones that have a real memory of the schism between the races, and they are very interested in crusading and conquering proselytising in the name of that religion. They're also the only race that has its own kingdom, because the idea of a WYRM TSAR was the most badass thing we could possibly imagine.

Classes featured here:
The Attuned - They feel a connection to their weapons that others don’t — they can sense its unique essence and its name. Those so connected are the masters who can awaken a weapon’s legendary potential; it becomes more powerful and mystical the longer the Attuned wields it.The Defiler of the Void - Glimpsing one of the cracks in their breaking reality, whether out of curiosity or lust for power, they reached inside and brought the void out with them, marked by it forever. The Defiler now trades their own life force for these disturbing, displacing powers that seems to break the world a little more with each use.

WYRM TSAR. YES. That is the most epic thing. These class concepts are the coolest. I am really loving how you tapped into recognizable archetypes, but still gave it your own unique spin. And of COURSE the dragons are the ones with the authoritarian religious agenda, because DRAGONS.

SO VERY TERRIFYING. *wanders off to think about Russian-style dragon clothes and armor and jewelry*
