The Region & Locales

The Calendar

The year in Autumnford lasts longer than that of Earth, whereas Earth experiences a calendar of 365 days with 12 lunar months; Autumnford’s calendar stretches 476 days with 14 lunar months, each lasting precisely 34 days. The relationship between solar and lunar reckonings of time occur with close regularity, Autumnford has nothing like leap days.

There are many different ways of reckoning time across the various cultures of Autumnford, but most cultures have adopted the soltian calendar, that divides these months into four seasons based on those season’s relationship with the sun. Spring, summer, fall and winter.

The Soltian calendar divides the months into four weeks of 8 days, with two extra days during the month that correspond with new and full moons.

The moonsdays, white moonsday and black moonsday are days of rest that take place in the middle of the full moon and the new moon, which takes five days to fully transition.

Most people don’t keep too close to a rigid understanding of time as the passage of hours and minutes. Though their understanding of the passage of time is based on the position of the sun relative to the planet. People can vaguely estimate what hour it is, but clocks are just becoming common tools and most people just try to keep through the rhythms of nature.

Holidays

The holidays of Autumnford mark special occasions, repetitious moments of the season, and events that have indelibly altered the history of Autumnford. Many cultures mark their own special holidays, but there are several that are common to the region as a whole.

Thanks to the ordered, almost clockwork, nature of the movements of the heavens, the sun and the moons, most holidays occur on a regular schedule.

Prehistory

The modern understanding of prehistory is all but lost. There are few records of the times of the ancient world surviving, and even fewer that predate them. What is known is shared as a mixture of legend, myth, or fractured accounts from divination. All details are lost, but some of the broad strokes survive.

The Beginning

The earliest years of Dralonor, and Autumnford are lost in a confounding haze of history, myth, and legend. What is known is that an ancient god arrived from some place far distant and assembled the structure of magic, then built a world on top of it.

The ancient god also either anticipated or precipitated the development of life. It seems that it occasionally stepped in to advance the natural process of evolution, but for the most part the ancient god left its system to work itself, observing and making its own slight adjustments to better suit its needs.

The Age of Wonders

? - 0 AF

The age of wonders was a utopia, magnificent cities, feats of epic magic, and technological peaks were the order of the day. During this time vast continental empires stretched all the way across the world and worked in collaboration on works of spectacular magical infrastructure.

This era is also referred to as the old world or the ancient world. The cities, now ruins, of the old world are one of the few places where people can find very rare and legendary magical items, and are the source of powerful artifacts and valuable knowledge. During this time the gods walked among mortals and shared their perspectives and knowledge, allowing mortal knowledge to advance by leaps and bounds beyond what they otherwise would have been capable of.

The period of peace and prosperity unfortunately began to crumble as more aggressive individuals began small attacks and territory disputes or rebellions against their empire. These eventually descended into all out war as treaties and promises dragged other nations into the conflict. Nations began turning their productions from public good to offensive might. They developed war machines and weapons that they then turned on each other. This war continued for years, some believe for almost a millennia, each continental nation turned against each other in massive war.

The war culminated with a grand battle in a place known only as The Void Where heros and dieties alike fought the ancient God.

The war finally ended when a small group composed of members of each nation and dieties from all the realms tried to stop the fighting, they targeted the ancient god Ao, attempting to trap him away for all time. Instead they destroyed him, sparking off a massive devastation across the entire universe that was referred to as The Fracture.

The War of the Gods

(~5 AF - ~32 AF)

Following The Fracture, the god Balasar was furious with mortals and immortals alike, he saw their arrogance as the sole reason for the fracture. Balasar sought to conclude the fracture and reduce the world to a blank slate. First, Balasar turned to the other surviving gods, hoping to recruit them to his cause, some few came to join him, but none of the other new gods would join him. The other ancient gods were focused on repairing the damage of the fracture and the surviving old gods were dedicated to defending the plane. So instead Balasar turned to the varying humans and other races, promising them divinity in his new world if they assist the mad god in destroying this one. Balasar raised his armies and brought them in to fight. In response the other gods raised armies of their own, drawing in mortal champions to fight with them.

For the duration of the War of the Gods, the people of Dralonor were deprived of their greatest heroes, and whatever leaders they could rally behind in their hopes to rebuild after the fracture. The war of the void also deprived the people of Dralonor of divine magic. There were many who believed that the war’s effect meant that the gods were dead. Few saw the true mass of the destruction of the war, it was fought at the edges of the plane, but the destruction was felt by many as divine weapons lanced across worlds.

At the conclusion of the war all but the ancient gods, who seemingly could not die, were obliterated. The old gods were dead, the heroes gone, but Balasar was sealed away in the deepest pit and the war had ended. The gods decided not to return to the world. When the gods left the world of Dralonor, so did divine magic, and so did faith.

Society

Gender and Sexuality

The influence and philosophies of knowledge and scientific discovery has encouraged a rather permissive attitude towards sexuality. Openness about sexuality is not considered shameful or discouraged, but open practice is seen as being in bad taste at the very least and discretion is expected in polite society.

All societies still hold the importance of consent along with this permissiveness, and any abuse of that is considered a serious crime. Hand in hand with this criminality is a the utter disdain for anyone discovered to be using coercive magics, such as charming spells. Heavy punishments are doled out for the use of magic in Autumnford, but the discovery of the use of coercive magic is often met with the death penalty.

Thanks to the philosophies endorsed by society, gender identity is allowed a great degree of personal expression. It is not entirely uncommon to see males wearing makeup, or females dressed in full plate armor and have short haircuts. While there are some to whom such things may be considered jarring, they are not persecuted or demonnized.

Further, gender is not ever really viewed as any sort of concrete limitation on ability or quality of a person. No one would consider a woman being a warrior or a man being a homemaker to be at all unusual in Autumnford.

Technology

The closest parallel (in earth’s history) to the technology available to the people of Autumnford would be the 16th to 18th century. The mechanical and industrial innovations of the industrial revolution haven’t even been conceived of. Additionally, a lack of infrastructure and communications tools makes spreading and advancing these technologies difficult at best.

Gunpowder is a common tool for weapons technology and is often used in either simple firearms or simple explosive devices like grenades or powder kegs. However, gunpowder is an inherently dangerous substance, so it is only produced and stored by specific groups and organizations. In addition, firearms have small and intricate mechanisms, and so are only produced by well trained individuals and they are expensive both to own and maintain.

Medical technology keeps about the same level of advancement, but since it’s supplemented with the healing abilities of magic great feats can still be accomplished. The greatest difference from the period is an understanding that cleanliness is connected to health.

The ruins of the ancient world have numerous caches of the technology used by the people of that era, technology that outpaces what those of modern Autumnford could accomplish by centuries. Unfortunately much of it has been irreparably damaged or extremely well protected. In addition, the method for their creation or their maintenance depended on a techno-magical infrastructure that the Fracture devastated.

Sometimes people survive expeditions to the ruins and bring back some of this ancient technology, but because of the gaps, attempts to recreate the things recovered have almost all failed, sometimes disastrously.

Communications

Getting messages through the world is an ordeal in itself, in addition to the distance between people and the comparative rarity of means of travel, there is also a tremendous amount of danger to travelers. Most communications are handled by either the merchants guild using their ships and trade routes for delivery of postage and packaging, or by specific courier companies that have their own ships and flying mounts they use for faster, more reliable, delivery.

Some of the more secretive guilds do employ magical means for communications. Sending stones, scrying, even teleportation is used to communicate over vast distances. However, these tools are expensive and require training and resources to develop. Because of this and the consequences associated in Autumnford with being a magic user, there are extremely few developed and expansive communications networks that employ magic. There are numerous smaller systems to communicate between individuals though.

Print tools are relatively simple affairs, basic printing presses and movable type are available to those who want to use them. Many use these tools to develop newsletters and newspapers that are distributed through merchant guild’s trade routes.

Major Cities

Major cities on the ground are never truly independent, but they also rarely exist without a solid connection to the world above them. Most cities on the ground view themselves as distinct entities and tend to operate in a sort of organized chaos or wild-west style lawlessness. Many of the organizations on the ground operate more like mercenary organizations rather than governmental ones, regardless of their connections, political or otherwise, to the nations above them.

The cities of the ground have numerous threats against their security and rely a great deal on the strength of their residents and the thickness of their walls for security. The guardsmen of ground territories are significantly tougher and more willing to bend the rules in the name of security than their counterparts on the skylands.

Immediately outside of the cities on the ground are wide stretches of farmlands where foodstuffs are grown to be sold both up in the skylands and to people in the cities. These farmlands tend to gradually stretch away from the walls of their nearby city during times of peace, then abruptly collapse following an attack from monsters.

Travelers to the cities on the ground may quickly find themselves victims of thieves and pickpockets if they are unprepared or unprotected. Adventurers visiting the ground cities typically use them as waypoints between quests, taking the opportunity to rest or to spend their gains on wine and whores. Other adventurers and travelers use the ground cities as places to meet with criminal elements, or to seek out mercenaries and toughs to hire.

Factions & Organizations

There are many groups that operate independently of the governments of the world, or are portions of those governments that have gained the power to operate on their own whims. Orders of knights and monks, trading guilds, underground thieves organizations, or simply a group of people bound by common cause can all bind themselves together under a single banner and become more powerful by their unity.

Autumnford is large, and travel is difficult, but some few groups take advantage of the few means of travel and communications that span the continent to establish Factions. Some of these groups are politically powerful and closely organized and controlled, others are loose and decentralized, not solely bound by an organization but by a shared set of beliefs or tradition that unifies them. These people hold pride in the path they’ve chosen and will mark themselves or carry tokens to signify their devotion.

Aarakocra

(Monster Manual pg. 12)

The presence of the skylands in the region of Autumford has given it a unique relationship with the Aarakocra. Aarakocra have several nest-like villages on a few of the larger skylands in Autumnford. Many of these bird-men view Autumnford's skylands as a place of “tranquil skies.” Some live outside of these independent communities and travel.

Many aarakocra find lucrative professions as messengers, taking advantage of their ability to fly independently of magic or ships to travel across the skies.

Ankheg

(Monster Manual pg. 21)

The tunneling monsters are one of the terrors of those living on the ground territories, but are virtually unknown to the people of the skylands.

Behir

(Monster Manual pg.25)

These long blue serpentine creatures enjoy stalking sky-reefs, Huge pieces of rock extending out of the water. They often seem like a good place to dock for airships. Most experienced sailors won't even go near a sky-reef for this reason. Behir are six legged creatures who can walk and climb very quickly. If found and captured, behir are often used in the gladitorial pits of the skylands.

Bison

(Homebrew: Original )

The bison are large terrestrial animals that roam the plains. They travel in huge shaggy herds, grazing on the tough grasses in the open expanses. The bison are large, heavy and shaggy, they have thick horns on top of thicker heads.
Bison are good swimmers and can cross rivers almost half a mile wide.
On Autumnford bison travel in vast herds along the ground territories, and make for rich eating for large hunters like dragons.

Hippogriff

(Monster Manual pg. 184)

Hippogriff are domesticated similar to horses, with ranches on the skylands specifically dedicated to their husbandry. They are some of the most common flying mounts and most skyland stables house several of these flying creatures.

Some ranchers make a brisk business raising hippogriffs as flying mounts, and some small archipelagos are cordoned off as ranching areas for these omnivorous beasts.

House Griffon

(Homebrew: Original)

House griffons are a miniature species of griffon, altered to be domestic pets rather than fierce predators. Where true griffons are large carnivores and admixtures of lions and eagles, house griffons are a mixture of house cats and hawks.

House griffons are a popular pet, although they are expensive, and difficult to care for. House griffons are famous for their ability to deal with pests, hunting with the senses of both their component parts. Domestic house griffons are affectionate but independent creatures and derive great joy from hunting and from preening.

The semimagical nature of house griffons make them popular creatures as familiars for spellcasters who want a distinctive companion.

Mist Stalker

(Homebrew: Original)

Drifting tentacled beasts that stalk the clouds, they emit a thick cloud from the vents along the top of their rigid bell-like heads that obscures them as they hunt. Mist stalkers drift between clouds, snagging birds or windfish in their tentacles and using their stiff, blade-like ridges to cut larger prey into more managable chunks and to keep threats at a distance from its soft underbelly.

The mist stalker’s cloud both confuses and disorients its prey and the creature has special senses that allows it to sense the creatures that are inside of the clouds they mist stalker created.

Sailors keep a watch out for small clouds that seem to grow larger or that move against the wind, as these are signs of a Mist Stalker or pack on the hunt.

NPCs

This section will describe the various NPCs that are well known, or at least known of within the region of Autumford and its many skylands. When creating your characters, you may or may not have had dealings with them in the past. Be sure to make note of this and let your DM know if that is the case.

Why are NPCs Important?

NPCs should also be used to showcase the issues going on in the world, especially in terms of politics and war. The best NPCs shed light on the larger conflicts at hand, giving you a more personal glimpse into their impact. There are always multiple sides to every story, and using NPCs to showcase this gives them depth beyond simply being signposts that mutters generic phrases.

While the journey should definitely focus on the main characters and overarching narrative, NPCs are essential to selling the experience, and are an asset when it comes world-building.

Humans

“I still say it’s a damn fool thing.” The stout oak barrel of a man was crouching down as low as his legs would allow, keeping his center of gravity as low as possible so he could avoid falling. “Staying up this high without solid ground to keep you up...” He had crates of goods with him, steelwork, brass, iron, even some pieces of mythril and adamantine, but he was loathe to sell them, “I just don’t know why they couldn’t come down to us. A proper dwarf needs a foundation to stand on.”

What most people know about the dwarves is that they are short. The other thing that people know is that they like to build big. Decorative dwarven architecture is massive, made to accommodate giants. Some people have taken this to imply that there must be some connection between the dwarven and giant peoples, though the two have come to become bitter enemies.

Wood Elves

Wood elf culture is predominantly divided between those living on the ground and those living in the skies. They are perhaps the most well traveled of the elven peoples and wood elves are a frequent sight in many places to those who are looking.

The wood elves in the skylands are typically part of other, predominantly human, cultures. They have found that the dexterous skills they used to travel through the forests have served them well navigating the ropes and sails of airships. Other wood elves in the skylands are part of the high elf cultures, acting as a distinct caste of people within those cities.

Wood elves on the ground territories have their own means of keeping themselves safe, unlike the dwarves with their fortifications, wood elves have established hidden cities within deep forests. Wood elves in these cities live a semi-nomadic existence, traveling in small caravans between their hidden cities. Other wood elves on the ground have integrated themselves into the larger territories centered around gathering resources for those in the skylands.

Halflings

On the Green Edges

Children of a dryad are usually raised on the fringes of society and thus rarely come into contact with the Humans of Autumnford, within the glades of their mothers, in logging cabins, or in druidic enclaves. The circumstances of their childhood, combined with the fey nature of their heritage, means that half-dryads usually feel constrained or claustrophobic inside of cities. Those that do live within a city’s walls often live on the city’s outskirts and grow lush gardens over all available soil to help themselves feel more at home. Other half-dryads live outside of cities, some living settled lives as farmers, others roaming the wilderness as scouts or rangers. Some embrace their fey magic and take to spellcasting, often specializing in nature magic. Like half-elves and half-orcs and other children of mixed heritage, half-dryads are a people between two worlds, the wilderness and passionate fey and the civilization of humanity. Some half-dryads decide between their two forebears, living in the woods and shunning society, or running to the cities. Other half-dryads live between the two worlds, acting as an intermediary between nature and civilization. Some travel the world, eschewing the roots that figuratively and literally bound their mothers to one place, though many carry with them a cutting of their “mother tree” to keep a bit of home and heritage with them.

Half-Elves

Some elves see the half-elves and they see a reminder of how slowly the elven people are rebuilding their numbers, or a reminder of all they’ve lost. Or they simply see bastards. Humans who see a half-elf see something too elven, too long lived and too magical, something most humans can never aspire to. The half elves are people who have been born of two worlds, and they never feel entirely comfortable in either.

The half-elves of Autumford are a well traveled race, exploring the world to a degree that nearly borders on wanderlust. They roam the skylands from stone to stone, eager to see whatever is next and carve out something for themselves. Because of this, Half-elves are frequently seen in the world as travelers and airship sailors, always searching out new things and new peoples while onboard.

Half-elves that remain within society have little difficulty finding a place for themselves, their long lives gives them ample time to master a trade and their personable nature helps them to mingle with various peoples.

Half-elves, like most half-breeds, are almost completely infertile. It is extremely rare that a half-elf will produce a child and the child of a half-elf will always be either human or elven, or another half-elf. The half-elf spends a great deal of effort making sure that their children don’t experience the “distance” they did growing up.

Orcs are some of the forerunners of the marauding war bands of monsters that plague the surface level of Autumford. There are few who do not fear the destruction and death that comes at the hands of the orcs. This fear has made things difficult for half-orcs. On the ground half-orcs are feared and reviled, or they are the product of the marauder’s rape and pillage, so they are simply reminders of horrible times. On the skylands half-orcs are seen as savages or monsters. Within orc society half-orcs are seen as weak and passive. Half-elves may be of two worlds, but half-orcs are welcome in none.

In society at large, half-orcs either revel in their association with their monstrous heritage, taking positions as thugs and toughs or smiths and soldiers. Others try to intentionally distance themselves and try to withdraw from society. Still others keep on the move, trying to find somewhere to call home. Those half-orcs that find themselves a home embrace it wholeheartedly and will defend it to the death.

In orcish society half-orcs are either the weaklings of the war band, bullied and abused, or they exploit their superior intelligence and adaptability to take control of the war bands, becoming tacticians or champions.

Half-orcs, because they are half-breeds, are nearly infertile. A half-orc could only have children with considerable dedication. Unlike their human parents, half-orcs can only have human or orcish children, or other half-orcs like themselves and they will try their best to ensure that those children grow up well suited for the society that the half-orc chose to live in, giving them the opportunities they never had.

Shallows Merfolk

Tieflings

The Warforged are a remnant of the old world. Created, as their name implies, for war. There are dozens of different designs to fit the purpose they were built for. Some warforged are lithe and lean, built for rapid movement and quick strikes against their enemies. Other warforged are hulking brutes, designed for intimidation and to soak up bullets or blaster fire. Some warforged were modified with ancient technologies to be able to perform specific tasks. Tools like built in grappling hooks, lamps, or portable power stations.

Warforged were also designed with dozens of different aesthetic styles. Some were built to strictly emulate humanoid form, others took more abstract designs. All of them at least have a degree of dexterous manipulation available to them, making them able to use any tool given to them efficiently, from tools of war to tools of construction. These biomechanical androids were built with the expectation of being able to handle just about any task they were put to.

Warforged are constructed using biomechanical technology, so they are able to self-repair minor damage and move with more flexibility than what simple mechanical androids would be able to muster. This biomechanical design and healing ability was the original foundation for the development of the titans, the ancient world’s super-weapons.

Androids, including the warforged, were originally designed to be nothing more than unintelligent mechs, made to perform simple tasks. But gradually they were expected to perform more and more complex functions and to be able to improvise should circumstances around that function change. To meet this demand, androids were gradually improved on, made more intelligent and more clever, able to learn and adapt.

Assault-Model Warforged

Assault Model Warforged were the frontline troops in combat, bearing down on the enemy in a relentless wave of iron and wood. Built with the strongest frames and heaviest muscle fibres, they could wield powerful weapons and deliver devastating attacks.

Ability Score Increase

Heavy Integrated Weapon
Your Integrated Weapon trait is not limited to light weapons and can instead be used with any weapon with which you have proficiency, as well as shields. Additionally, you gain proficiency with the following: heavy armour, shields, martial melee weapons and heavy crossbows.

Command-Model Warforged

Command Model Warforged were created to command other units, programmed with higher levels of intelligence and tactical thinking and built with faster cognitive enchantments. This made them well suited to react quickly to changing battlefield conditions and issue commands faster than any other model.

Ability Score Increase
Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Battlefield Awareness
As a Command Model, you have special programming for handling the complexities of combat. When rolling for initiative, you may roll 2 dice and pick the result you prefer.

Infiltration-Model Warforged

Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Enhanced Optics
Infiltration models are fitted with improved optical crystals and as such can see well in low light conditions. Infiltration models have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet

Aarakocra

The sound of feathers as the wind whipped across them was a blessing of his birth. Passi drifted between the skylands, keeping his eyes open for any threats that may sit on the stones. As he approached the destination he could see the crowd of people that were gathering in anticipation of his arrival, farmers, craftsmen. Sometimes he pitied them, they would never know the freedom of flight, but it would not do to show it, he had mail to deliver.

Sequestered in high mountains atop tall trees or tall trees along the skylands, the aarakocra, sometimes called birdfolk, evoke wonder and envy. The aarakocra are immigrants, refugees, scouts, and explorers, their outpost nests functioning as footholds for boundless flight.

The idea of ownership is a burden or a curiosity to most aarakocra, after all, who owns the sky? And when you are reliant on flight, you cannot afford to carry much with you. Usually aarakocra share possessions amongst the members of their nest and simply take the things they feel they need. As a result, Aarakocra who have little interaction with others might be a nuisance as they drop from the sky to snatch things that have caught their eye. An aarakocra who spends years among other races can learn to inhibit these impulses.

Once tribes of aarakocra settle in an area, they share a hunting territory that extends across an area up to 100 miles on a side, with each tribe hunting in the lands nearest to their colony. A typical colony consists of one large, open-roofed nest made of woven vines. The eldest acts as leader with the support of a shaman.

The aarakocra have embraced the plane of Autumnford, calling it a place of “calm skies.” Few live outside of their nests, which can take up entire skylands in their expanse. Those that do make themselves a part of larger society often work as couriers, valued for their ability to soar between the skylands.

Felidae

Feline traits have come to express themselves in a number of different ways in the cats of Autumnford, but in a distant plane they came to express themselves in the dominant peoples of that plane, producing distinct lineages of peoples. During the fracture these people were brought to the region of Autumnford and abandoned there. Their feline heritage has served them well, and they have spread themselves out across the region. Some of the felidae live within small communities of their people, but most prefer to live apart from others.

Felidae are an entirely carnivorous species and they enjoy hunting, almost to an obsessive level. Felidae are playful and when they hunt they can toy with their prey, sometimes to the level of sadism. But that means that they can also be easily distracted.

There are many different types of felidae and they are a diverse population, each with distinct cultures and norms. But they do each share a common root, one that they recognize in each other, especially now with so much distance from wherever their old homeworld was.

Most of the Felidae have settled on the continent of Ebondale, but enough of them have traveled around the world that they aren’t unheard of in other regions. Since many of the felidae prefer solitude though, they aren’t frequently seen in large numbers.

Tool Box

The tool box is the most fundamental piece of an engineer’s kit. It contains the tools needed to create their contraptions, as well as has enough tools to be used as any artisan’s tools you have proficiency with.

Tricks Up My Sleeve

Sometimes magic isn’t magic, but very clever tinkering. When you complete a long rest, you build a number of contraptions containing the effect of any Abjuration or Evocation spell on the Wizards spell list. The contraptions known column of the Artificer class table shows the number of contraptions you can build. The spell effect stays active in the contraption until it is used or you complete another long rest.

The spell must be less than or equal to the spell level shown on the spell level column of the Artificer class table. Use your intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an Artificer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Quick Repair

At 11th level, once per long rest, you may rebuild a contraption you used today when you take a short rest.

Not Quite a Trick

On reaching 11th level, what you are building can no longer be contained in simple contraptions. You may build one large contraption per long rest. This contraption can contain a spell up to the 6th level.

At 15th level, you can build two large contraptions, and at 20th level, you can build 3.

At higher levels you can store even more powerful effects. You can contain a 7th level spell at 13th level, an 8th level spell at the 15th level, or a 9th level spell at 17th level.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Contingency Plan

At 10th level, when you take a short rest, you may expend a contraption with a casting time of 1 action, but the contraption does not come into effect. Instead, when a circumstance occurs, the contraption is activated. You describe that circumstance when you expend the contraption.

The contingency plan takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether you want it to or not.

At 15th level, when you take a short rest, you can choose two contraptions, each with separate circumstances.

Extra Adaptations

When you reach the 10th level, you add another layer of protection to your armor. When you finish a long rest, you may spend 30 minutes specifically protecting against piercing, slashing, or bludgeoning damage. You can resistance to the chosen type of damage.

Always testing and pushing, tinkerers constantly adjust their contraptions to create more powerful and strange contraptions. They constantly learn, improving their mind as well as their skills.

Barbarian

In Autumnford, the rise of the barbarian was directly tied to the collapse of civilization and the impossibility of infrastructure. A wild world like the ranges of Autumnford are places where people can find a place for themselves on the brutal fringes. They build a place for themselves with strength of will, or strength of arms where will fails them.

There are many dangers in Autumnford and many regions are savage lands, where everything is a struggle. Fierce warriors grow out of these lands, and they spread out through their territories, exploring the ruins of peoples that could not survive the savage lands, or fending off attackers and invaders.

Sometimes these peoples leave, and venture out into the world at large. These people are rough and tumble in the unprepared civilizations, but their brutal bluntness makes them an “efficient” addition to a city. In “civilized” spaces a barbarian is a bruiser or a force of strength. Militaries value barbarians as irregulars or brutes, though they are difficult to place with a formal regiment.

A true barbarian may be considered by some to be anathema to civilization. They are blunt and violent, driven by their emotion or a connection to the totems and iconography of the wild. However, their strength and simplicity has sometimes made them the foundation of bringing civilization as well as fracture it, there are many tiny kingdoms ruled by a barbarian lord who decided they could simply build themselves a lordship.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked Unconscious or if Your Turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on Your Turn as a Bonus Action.

Once you have raged the maximum number of times for your barbarian level, you must finish a Long Rest before you can rage again. You may rage 2 times at 1st level, 3 at 3rd, 4 at 6th, 5 at 12th, and 6 at 17th.

Danger Sense

At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and Spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be Blinded, Deafened, or Incapacitated.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to Attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first Attack on Your Turn, you can decide to Attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon Attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but Attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

Primal Path

At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage, such as the Path of the Berserker. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Brutal Critical

Beginning at 9th level, you can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee Attack.

This increases to two additional dice at 13th level and three additional dice at 17th level.

Silent Rage

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you silence your outward appearances of rage, instead channeling it through powerful strikes; whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon while raging, they take 1d6 additional damage. This damage increases when you reach certain barbarian levels as shown in the Silent Berserker Bonus Damage table.

Instinctual Raging

At 3rd level, as part of you becoming a silent berserker, you have learned to control your rage in a way few barbarians can. If you are damaged from a melee attack and not raging, you may use your reaction to enter into a rage until the end of your next turn. You may not enter into a rage this way if you have already raged an amount of times for your barbarian level as shown in the Rages column of the Barbarian table.

Unwavering Silence

Starting at 6th level, your silent rage sustains you. While raging, if you have 1 or more hit point as a bonus action, you may spend a hit die to regain hit points, similar to when you would regain hit points during a short rest.

Hidden Fire

Starting at 10th level, you are no longer gripped by rage. Through the process of channeling your inner rage, you have learned to use it to further reserve yourself against outside influences. You gain the following benefits when raging.

You have advantage on Wisdom saving throws from magic. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and frightened.

Keen Fury

You’ve learned to control yourself despite the flame welling inside you, making your rage a senses of keen hunter instincts. Beginning at 3rd level, you may only apply your rage damage to ranged or thrown weapon attacks you make. Melee attacks with spears are the only exception to this rule.

Call of the Wild

Beginning at 6th level, if you choose, when you begin raging you are considered to be using the Hunter’s Mark spell for the duration of your rage or 10 minutes, whichever ends first (No concentration required). This ability may be used once per short or long rest.

Expert Huntsman

When you kill a medium or large creature at 10th level, you can choose to salvage its remains to create weapons over the course of a short or long rest. One medium creature can yield 1d8 arrows, 1d2 spears, or 1d4 javelins. A large creature yields double the amount. You need a dagger or similar blade on hand to craft in this way. In addition, any attacks made with these types of weapons deal damage equal to one dice step higher. (For example: Arrows fired from a shortbow would deal 1d8 damage, spears wielded in two hands would deal 1d10 damage, and so forth.)

Predator and Prey

As a bonus action on your turn, you may take the Dodge action. If a creature misses you with an attack after taking this action, you may spend your reaction to make one ranged weapon attack or one melee attack with a spear against that creature.

Transform

Starting at 3rd level, when you choose this path, your rage transforms you into a foul beast. When you rage, you gain the following features.

• You gain resistance to poison, necrotic and acid damage.
• You gain vulnerability to radiant damage.
• Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 slashing damage, and you can use your bonus action to make an unarmed strike. This adds your ability modifier to it, regardless of if you have Two Weapon Fighting or not.
• You treat your unarmed strikes and one-handed melee weapon attacks as having the reach property.

Psych Up

Beginning at 6th level, anger is merely one of the few tools at your disposal. After a short or long rest, you can choose to psych yourself up. When psyched up, you deal additional damage equal to your rage damage bonus on all weapon attack damage rolls, for 1 hour. However, for the same hour, you take irreducible psychic damage equal to your rage damage bonus, whenever you take damage from a creature. As a bonus action, you can choose to stop being psyched up.

Experimental Nails

Additionally, at 6th level, your unarmed strikes are counted as being magical for the sake of overcoming resistance.

Eldritch Blood

At 10th level, your claws sharpen, and your hide toughens, in your bestial form. You unarmed strikes now deal 1d8 slashing damage, and you are no longer vulnerable to radiant damage while raging.

The Quickening

Beginning at 14th level, your destructive habits manifest in a pure form. As a bonus action, while raging, you can choose to mark one creature for death, for 1 minute. When you take the Attack action on your turn, if you hit only that creature, you can make one more weapon attack than you normally could. At the end of each of your turns, you take irreducible psychic damage equal to half the damage you took this turn, or half your barbarian level, whichever is higher. You can end this effect early, as a bonus action. After using this feature, you must take a short or long rest before doing so again.

Bard

In the skylands bards learn their trade from an apprenticeship system in association with bardic colleges that consider themselves the keepers of history and culture. These colleges are cultural centers and keep extensive records of songs and stories that traveling bards collect. These schools are also focused on general education, most children are expected to spend some time with the Scriptures tutors learning simple lessons and songs to help them with reading, writing and arithmetic. One of the duties of apprentice bards in the skylands is traveling to more remote skylands to teach there for a year or two.

On the ground bards are frequently members of the nomadic caravans, traveling the world and singing songs and telling stories. These bards usually taught by fellow members of the caravans in communities referred to as “traditions,” these traditions record the history of their caravan through an oral history of songs and myths. Other members of the traditions range out into the world to find new stories and new places for the caravan to travel, or travel to meet other caravans and share between the traditions, or to settled territories to see who will share with the nomadic peoples.

Some bards are simple entertainers, but their foundation in the skills built up by the bardic institutions makes them valuable in their niche. Though there are many people capable of playing music or displays of skill and performance ability, bards are on a completely different tier, there is a magic to what they do, both literally and metaphorically. Bards are focused on their art and they are intensely skilled at performing it.

Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the bard spell list. You learn more as you level up, as per the Bard table.

Spell Slots

The bard table shows how many spell slots you have for spells 1st level or higher. To cast a spell, you must expend a slot. You regain all spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known of 1st level and higher

You know four 1st level spells of your choice from the bard spell list. The bard table shows when you learn more spells. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. When you gain a level in this class, you may replace a spell you know with another one you don’t know.

Bardic Inspiration

You can use a bonus action on your turn to choose another creature within 60ft who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6.

Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add it to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. Can wait until after it rolls the d20, but before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails.

Once it is rolled it is lost. A creature can only have one die at a time.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (min 1). You regain all charges on a long rest.

Increases to a d8 at 5th level, d10 at 10th level, d12 at 15th level.

Bonus Proficiencies

At 3rd level, gain proficiency with three skills.

Peace Domain Spells

Falconer

A woman waits on a hilltop, watching the skies until she sees the dark silhouette of her falcon companion. The bird lands on her arm, bearing an item in its beak. It is the distinctive wedding band of a noble's wife, who had been kidnapped by bandits days ago. The woman asks how many opponents she can expect to see. The bird squawks thrice. The woman asks if there are traps. The bird nods its head. The woman asks her bird to guide her in the direction of the kidnapped noble, with specific detail on the location of traps.

An beautiful young brunette woman lies in wait with her crossbow at the ready. Her sharp eyes see far past the normal range of those who have not trained themselves. Ahead, her falcon has flown to point out to her what objects may provide an impediment to her shot. Though there is fog, it is no problem for either of them. What provides an obstacle for others is only a cloak for herself and her feathery friend. She has seen her quarry. With a pull of her trigger, the bolt flies forth, piercing straight through her target's wooden cover.

A Burly and gruff man with scars all over his body battles valiantly against the corrupt lawmen of a town. His daggers fly furiously, but he is outnumbered, three against one. Suddenly, a hawk swoops from above, right past the first officer's face. His throat is cut, and his heart is gouged by the mans daggers. The second officer raises his sword to attack, only to have it snatched from his grip by the falcon's talons, before the man cuts him down. The third officer tries to run, only for the falcon to swoop in and scratch out his eyes. The bird returns to the man's arm, who tells the blind officer to return to his superior and tell him that this is what happens to lawmen who abuse their authority and power.

Falconers excel at the art of falconry, using birds of prey to hunt down their enemies and protect their allies. Their connection and dedication to the creatures of the sky is immeasurably strong, and to separate a Falconer from their bird companion is considered the ultimate punishment.

Avian Empathy

At the 1st level, you have the ability to generally understand the messages that your bird companion sends you. You do not understand the specific details of what it is telling you. While your bird companion is within half of your Scouting Radius, you know its exact location. In addition, other feathered creatures recognize the care that you give to your bird companion. As a result, birds and bird-like creatures are friendly towards you and are no longer hostile towards your party. However, these creatures will still attack if provoked.

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4

Avian Delivery

At the 5th level, your feathered friend gains more trust in you and your decisions. You or any willing creature you choose can give an item to your bird companion to deliver to you or another creature within your Scouting Radius. You can also choose to have your bird companion drop an item given to it anywhere within your Scouting Radius. Items given to your bird companion must be light enough for it to carry. At the 10th level, you can also choose to give it a brief (2-3 sentences) verbal message.

Avian Awareness

At the 6th level, you have gained a more profound connection to your beloved bird. You are constantly aware of its position while it is within your Scouting Radius.

Quoth the Raven

At the 10th level, you have trained your bird to a point that it can better enunciate its messages and intentions. It can now speak certain phrases and short sentences as well as mimic certain noises to let you know slightly more specific details of what it has found on its scouting missions.

Arcane Talons

At the 10th Level, you have borrowed from the magic of wizards and other spell-casters to enhance the power of your feathered friends. If you or your called birds would deal slashing damage to a creature, you can choose to have that damage be treated as magical slashing damage (for the purpose of overcoming damage resistances and immunities).

Early Warning

At the 11th level, you have trained your bird companion to be on a constant vigil to alert you and your allies to nearby threats. Any hidden creature within 20 feet of you that isn't a part of your party must make a Stealth skill check or your bird is alerted to their presence and will screech loudly. You can also choose to have your bird fly directly above the creature's location and follow them until they leave your Scouting Radius.

Thieving Magpie

At the 15th level, if your bird companion is on a scouting mission or in combat and is within 50 feet of a creature, you can use a bonus action to have your bird companion make a Sleight of Hand (Beak?) skill check to steal a small item from that creature that it can carry back to you. The item it takes must be light enough for it to carry.

Flighty Foes

At the 17th level, you have great knowledge about the physics of flight after seeing your bird companion fly for such a long time. You and your bird companion gain advantage on attack rolls and saving throws against creatures with a permanent or temporary flying speed.

Avian Symbiosis

At the 20th level, you are now perfectly in tune with your bird companion, as if you were the same being. You always know your bird companion's exact location, regardless of its current heath, how far away it is from you, or any magical effects that may be used on you or your bird companion. You understand every specific piece of information it tells you from its scouting missions. In addition, your bird companion's ability scores, AC, and Maximum Hit Points increase to match yours at the exact moment you reached the 20th level. However, your bird companion's Intelligence ability score remains the same.

Extra Attack

At the 3rd level, your bird companion can attack twice instead of once per attack action. This does not count for you until you reach the 5th Level, at which you can make a second attack. The number of attacks that you and your bird companion can make increases to three when you reach the 11th Level in this class and to four when you reach the 20th Level in this class.

Gunslinger

ORIGINATOR

Whether attacking with their exemplars or blasting enemies with psychokinetics, Originators in Autumnford are extraordinarily rare, and exceedingly dangerous, their imaginations warped by the wild magic storms ravaging the surface, taking form as both malleable exemplars and the unleashing of destructive psychic energies on those that spite them. Their soul takes on a duality, split between themselves and their exemplar, the strain taking its toll on their physical form, leaving them brittle compared to other individuals but commanding almost supernatural forethought.

Psychokinetics

You have learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality using your altered imagination and insight into your own soul to draw power and perform spell like abilities in the form of psychokinetics, consisting of telepathic, telekinetic, and pyrokinetic abilities. The list of psychokinetic spells for the originator can be found at the end of this class. The strain of manifesting your exemplar limits drawing power in this manner compared to traditional spell casters from other regions. While your listing of psychokinetic abilities may seem limited compared to other classes spell listings, pscyhokinetics can be cast without material or verbal components, only requiring the somatic gesture to cast. Because psychokinetics do not function in the same manner as normal magic, instead relying on psychic energies to manifest, they do not gain benefits or suffer detriments that magical effects normally would, such as the effects of an antimagic field.

While Autumnford does have many wild magic storms throughout the region, living Originators are still quite rare, and often their emotions get the better of them and they succumb to their darker urges, living out in the wildlands on the surface amongst other monsters. Be sure to talk with your DM about playing an Originator so that it makes sense to your campaign within Autumnford!

SPELLCASTING ABILITY
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your originator spells. Your magic comes from your insight into the nature of the soul and your connection to your exemplar. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an originator spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENT

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Exemplarist

An exemplarist seeks to perfect their exemplar, shining a light onto their twinned soul and holding it aloft as the very pinnacle of self actualization. Exemplarist's twin souls shine brightest in their exemplars themselves, developing into monstrous realizations of the inner workings of the originators soul.

Ascendant

The Ascendant Originator focuses their efforts towards enlightenment on themselves, turning the methods of altering their exemplars further inward in order to augment their own outward representation of self. The ascendant may eventually not even resemble the species they start as, preferring instead their own representation of self and the power it possesses.

Kineticist

The Kineticist Originator focuses on the empowerment of their psychokinetics, and even go to the extent of balancing some of that power with their exemplar. Psychokinetics are powerful, but tend to be more and more dangerous as more power is exerted. Some of this gets balanced out

Breath Attack

The exemplar gains one of the following breath attacks when you choose this evolution, exhaling destructive energy. Your choice determines the size, shape, and damage of the exhalation. When your exemplar uses its breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, also determined by the breath weapon type. A creature takes 3d6 of the assigned type on a failed save, and half damage on a successful one. The damage increased to 4d6 at 7th level, 5d6 at 13th level, and 6d6 at 18th level.

Elemental Attack

Your exemplar adds an elemental damage type that deals an additional 2d4 damage of the chosen type when your exemplar hits with one of its natural attacks. Choose one of the following types: Acid, fire, cold, lightning.

Eye Rays

Your exemplars eyes take on a aberrant light, granting psychic rays of power to shoot at its enemies. The exemplar can use its action to shoot psychic rays at up to two enemies within 90 feet. It can use each ray only once a turn.

1. Confusion Ray. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or it can't take reactions until the end of its next turn. On its turn, the target can't move, and it uses its action to make a melee or ranged attack against a randomly determined creature within range. If the target can't attack, it does nothing on its turn
2. Paralyzing Ray. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
3. Fear Ray. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the exemplar is still visible to the target, ending the effect on itself on a success.
4. Wounding Ray. The target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 3d10 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Regeneration

Your exemplar regains hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier at the start of its turn. If your exemplar takes acid or fire damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of the exemplars next turn. The exemplar only dies if it starts the turn with 0 hit points and doesn't regenerate.

Pirate

The life of a pirate is a common profession for those in Autumnford seeking out adventure and excitement. Some become mercanaries, some leap directly into the life of a privateer. Some people try to live peaceful lives, but they never keep a weapon far from their side.

Some people don’t embrace a career as a privateer, or at least not in the service to a higher cause or a nation. Some become soldiers of fortune, loyal to their employer and the gold they have to pay. Some become adventurers, hoping to find gold and glory or simply to scratch the itch of wanderlust.

These people without alliance to kings, towns, or specific skylands find themselves in service to guilds or companies. Trading guilds hire pirates as guards or thugs.

Most pirates pillage and plunder along with rogues and barbarians to take what their swords can give them.

SPIRITUS FRUMENTI

At 20th level, you have perfected the art that is drinking on the job to the point where it is almost magical. A pirate is never left without a backup bottle of rum. Once per long rest, as an action, you can down an entire bottle of rum, steel your resolve, and instantly gain up to half your hit point maximum in temporary hit-points and grants advantage on Dexterity saving throws that lasts until you finish a short or long rest. Doing so however, gives you disadvantage on Initiative Rolls until you finish the short or long rest.

SWIFT PIRATE

Almost every single pirate you meet knows how to wield a blade but few know steel as well as the swiftest of the sea dogs. A swift pirate dances around their enemies making strikes and dashing out of harm’s way before the enemy has even drawn their sword. Many pirates with the highest swordsmanship skills make their coin offering their ‘services’ in exchange for a hefty fee.
