Player Guide 5E
Introduction
The world of Alteria is written in a fantasy setting by Ronnie Sykes. All the races and classes have been altered to fit within the world as it currently stands. This book will be your guide to the creatures, enviroments, races and classes. Delve deep into this fantasy landscapes and explore exotic locations like the lucrative "Cairn". The massive mountain fortress of "Gurhdur Hall" and much more.
Alteria
Alteria is filled with hilly terrain, roving hills, active volcanoes, perilous tunnels, nasty monsters, and gorgeous woods. Deep reserves of silver, gold, jewels, iron, and other minerals may be found inside the Dwarven domains. The noises of forges rage all night, and the smoke from them can be seen across the terrain, leading to lively villages and cities.
Domains
Dwarven Lands
Deep reserves of silver, gold, jewels, iron, and other minerals may be found inside the Dwarven domains. The noises of forges rage all night, and the smoke from them can be seen across the terrain, leading to lively villages and cities.
The mountains that surround Gurhdur Hall form a crescent shape. The surroundings are defined by steep cliffs and dense trees. To the south lies the lesser mountain city of Aimus, which is constructed into the slope itself. Wooden palisades around the city, while rock and stone walls defend the inner keep. To the west are some old ruins that some may remember and others may have forgotten, little lakes dot the landscape, and the temple to the dwarven god rises on a rock. The cold environment of Vamund, with frozen lakes and a variety of hazardous monsters, may be found to the north.Jurmund's dwarfs spend the most of their time fishing in the neighboring ice lakes and rivers, while the Correlest Volcano and Mountains practically approach the coast.
Human Kingdoms
The Heralding Mountains to the north and east defend Rehmi, the capital of the Human Kingdoms. Humans were at the bottom of the global political food chain. Many species did not perceive them as a danger because they were new to their magic, but with the great tragedy known as the "Rupture," their non-magical fighting techniques swiftly gave them the advantage they so sorely desired. The cities of Helraika and Tekdos are located to the north and west, respectively. They are more strategically located due to their proximity to the western beaches, allowing them to capture the old fortification to the north, "Fort Jundar." The water surrounding the fort, on the other hand, is teeming with dangers and terrifying marine monsters. If it doesn't deter would-be sailors and commanders, nothing will. The sea around the island is dangerous, and many vessels that make the trek end up in the bottom when swirling whirlpools take hold.
Elven Lands
The Elven lands are filled with dark woods, luscious jungles, and sparkling towns. Canals stream through the Capital Riverswept, and majestic spires peak for the magnificent blue sky. The once-magical woodland that surrounded Riverswept fades into twilight as it approaches the redwood forest of Myln Orecheiad. The Dark Elves live in a dark and shadowy country. If you prefer brighter surroundings and enjoy the sun, you could visit Sundariel, the golden city. The Sun Elves' sun-knighted city. This meca of beauty and ingenuity specializes in magical weaponry and bears the brunt of Elven armies. Sunforged weapons and magical objects are employed to maintain the elf lands at peace.
Orc and Dragon Tribes
The Orcs and Dragons live in hot, dry deserts and desolate landscapes. However, not all of their land appears to be lifeless. The Dragon Balzeg the Black rules over Dor's capital city. A thunder dragon with little regard for intruders. Large dragon statues may be seen all across the city, but none more so than at the main gate. The Orcs acted as guardians to their would be gods once but once the "Rupture" happened. The majority of the dragons died, and the Orcs lost hope for a time. The Lizard Folk reside in the marshy plains known as Modr; little is known about the island since it has been kept hidden by the Lizard Folk's remaining wizards known as Qu'dars.Modr's marshlands are filled with deep bogs and gigantic mongrove trees that appear to go on forever. Gol, located just south of Dor, is thought to be an orc stronghold with more primitive elements. Gol's soldiers are mostly women, and they comprise the unique battalions of warriors tasked with protecting their Dragon gods.
Racial Overviews
The races found within Alteria are quite different than their counterparts found elsewhere in the multiverse. Below are the different races found within the realm and further in the book you will find descriptions on said races.
Celestials (Angels or Proctors)
The Divine Beings from the realm of the gods, Celetstials strive to upkeep the word of their god that they are indebted to. They are creatures who are usually Lawful Good by nature and will fight with Deva when given the chance. They are described as beautiful beings of light, fighting with a piercing light. Many would consider them to be holy omens of good things to come. They have beautiful white feathered wings and a rim of golden light surround their structure. They care not for the qualrms of the mortal plane but only to maintain the balance between good and evil. Some would consider their lawful good nature a relief, however they do not discern the differences in sin and often cast judgement on those whom they meet. The different Subraces of Celestials include Angels of death, Planetar, Lesser Angels.
Centaurs:
Centuars are Fae Beings whom generally embody the aspects of half creature and half humanoids, they can be found roaming the plains or deep within forests where they call home. They are a simple race living in harmony with their own kind. They are natural farmers and before the rupture, the could be found creating forests and farms by magical means. Though they do not wish harm on those they meet however, if you were unlucky enough to insult one or cause a threat, this looming strong beast of a race could take even the most strongest of orcs. Many subraces of centaurs exist now after the rupture, an un-forseen side effect like the Minotaur, the Quelpies and the Hassan Riders.
Deva(Fiends)
The Deva once lived amuk the world, big blistering horns erupt from their skulls and they harness the powers of chaos. These Chaotic Evil beings care nothing for the mortal realm but to keep the balance of good and evil as they are bound by it. Often you could find favor in the Deva if you commited attrocious acts or sacrifices to them. Many humanoids would worship them and summon them using magic rituals. Most have reddish skin tones and stand anywhere from 5'0ft to 5'11ft tall. Some however like the Elder Deva Asmodium sootd as tall as 8ft tall in mortal form. Hailing from the dark realms of chaos, these beings have many immunities to flames and charms. Types of Deva include Greater Demons Lesser Demons and Tieflings
Fae (Faeries and Pixies)
Many of the Fae races were banished back to the Fae Wilds in the Fae Realms once the Rupture happened. Those left behind suffer the absence of magic. Those who do weild some form of magic are unfortunate enough to be captured, to be preserved or used for whatever manner their captors deem. They scarcely appear within the Elven Kingdoms. They are small 1'ft tall creatures generally with wings that glisten and change to adapt to their enviroment. They love sweets and sometimes can be seen purifying or poisoning water sources as they can be Mischevious. Because of their rarity, many elven kingdoms offered the remaining Fae they came across sanctuary however it is not without cost. The two races of fae are Faeries and Pixies.
Dwarves
The dwarves are strong and sturdy. They are amongst the best smiths within the land, second only to the Elven Mage smiths in the south. They preoccupy their time by mining ores found within their kingdoms, smelting down gold, silvers, platinums, etc. They are proud creatures who see themselves as equals to the rest of the world despite their small stature. You can find different subraces of Dwarves within different parts of the dwarven kingdoms. The Mountain Dwarves of Gurhdur Hall who live within mounds on the tallest hills of the plains. The Hill Dwarves of Jurmund, Vamund, and Aimus live within the mountain rocks on cliff sides and towering stone keeps. During the day you can find dwarves either knuckle deep into some form of ale or mining non stop like ferocious beasts.
The Elves
Tall and slender beings with long life spans, they are usually a rosy peach skin tone. They live in looming forests and always seem ever so graceful. Some believe they are amongst the first races to appear in Alteria. Beautiful carved marble stone temples and buildings mark the elven cities. Not all share the standard complexion of elves. In the forests of Sundariel you can find the Sun Elves Great weilders of light and magic, they have a natural yellowish tint to their skin. They worship the sun goddess. Their City glimmers and gleams as tall spires fill the skies in golden glow from their golden architecture. The Dark Elves can be found in the dark city of Myln Oreaid. Sprawling redwoods shade even the strongest glimmers of the sun. A city seeming to be stuck in perpetual night. This Marblesque city of dark purples and blues is their home. Tall slender ashen skinned elves fill the streets of the city, seen more as a city of outcasts and debauchery. The dark elves however are the most advanced out of the elven races when it comes to non magical technology.
Orcs
Desert landscapes and volcanic fumes house the Orcs and Dragons Tall sprawling desert dunes, blistering winds, and arrid hot areas can be seen from afar. The Orcs of Alteria are a sofisticated tribal race, sticking to their culture and superstitions. They roughly stand between 6'ft to 7'8ft tall with mountinous builds. Even the women are taught to fight as they are seen as the protectors of the race. Much like the forgotten Valkirin of the forezen wastes, the women are Warbred, an elite squad of beserker like fighters. They are equipped with dual war axes on their sides for close combat. An obsidian shield and Obsidian spear are also in their arsenal for more ranged combat. The male Orcs prefer Warhammers, Greatswords, and such. They are greenish to slight purpleish skintones. This has allowed them to become somewhat reselient to the harsh landscapes they live in. Orcs worship dragons and revere them as living gods. In that sense, they welcomed the Dragonborn as demigods in their midsts.
Dragons (Dragonborn)
Only 2 Pure Dragons remain, one ruling the town of Dor Balreg the Black patrols the skies with his thunderous might, intimidating those who wish to lay claim to his throne. Harun the Gold guards the large volcano of Thurn. It's large deposits of obsidian, crystals, and more make it a target for those who wish to become wealthy and lay claim to the spoils within the mountain volcano. Many have tried but no one has yet to succeed. With the rupture came a new race of being. Born from the death of thousands of dragons came the Dragonborn and Lizard Folk.
Dragonborn Tall humanoid Draconic beings standing between 6'7ft to 9'ft tall. They have many different skin colors varying by dragon types. Dragonborn's have thick scales that grant them natural protection and they are considered to have Homeostasis, which means they adapt to their climates. They have large snouts engorged with razor sharp teeth and their claws alone are said to be able to cut through even obsidian. Not much else is known of this new elusive race besides their affiliation with the orcs
Lizardfolk Lizardfolk, like Dragonborn, were produced by the deaths of dying dragons, although they are of a more primordial nature. They have an alien and incomprehensible psyche, their desires and thoughts motivated by a distinct set of fundamental principles than warm-blooded organisms. Their desolate swamp habitats may be hundreds of kilometers from the next human town, but the mental divide between them and the smooth-skins is even bigger.
Chapter 2. Races: Celestials
A bright light penetrates the cloudy skies and a winged creature appears. Outlined in a golden aura, the being seems to see into your soul. Judgement it seeks as it weighs your sins on the scales of justice and you feel calm before being blinded by a bright light
Diminicus Aldridge.The Broken Bard
Planetar whom act as weapons for the gods they serve. They are the warriors whom present a tangible presentation of their deities might. Planetars celestial ears detect every falsehood, and their radiant eyes can see through every deception. Angels of Death can be found at the wellspring of the Dead. A holy place housing the waters of the dead which every soul moves through before they reach their final judgement. They can sense death anywhere in the world and can even be invoked to resurrect a soul. They guard this holy place for great cosmic power is weaved in the waters. Though they appear usually as frail old men or women, they are considerably high powered magic users whom are skeletal under their robes. Lesser Angels make up the majority of the realm of the Aedra as they do their deities biding in help to answer small prayers. They can cause rain in droughts, summon locust swarms to devour crops and punish the wicked, or even heal the sick by performing small miracles.
Golden Aura
Celestials give off a strong golden aura blinding those they come across, Mortals cannot lay eyes upon the true form of a celestial as their eyes would burn and their souls incinerated as they were not meant to witness their light. Because of this most celestials cannot traverse the mortal realms without the help of a willing host, mainly paladins or clerics devoted to their diety.
Celestial Life Force.
Because of their divine nature, most celestials are considered immortal though they can be felled by special magical weapons. They do not age and they do not require air to breathe , or food to eat. Many say that when a celestial is slain, they return to their plane of existence expelled from their host. However if you manage to kill a celestial with a weapon of divine grace forged within the celestial realm, their light is burned out and they do not recover.

Centaurs come in many forms. Some formed after the rupture and some before. They are generally a peaceful race of humanoid like creatures that come from the Fae Realms. Deep in the forests of Sundariel lives a small colony of centaurs. They till the land and farm for the elves in exchange for protection. Since the rupture, Centaurs have been sought out and captured for their magic (atleast those whom still weild it) and sold as slaves. They prefer temperate climates and refuse to drink out of anything but natural water sources. After the rupture many subraces were formed as magic was displaced.

Dwarves
Massive forges & clinking pickaxes can be heard through the realm of the dwarves. Gurhdur's bellows can be felt from down the mountain.
Kingdoms rich in ancient grandeur, halls carved into the mountains, the echoing of these small but stout humanoids can be heard in taverns, mines, forges, and more. A commitment to clan and traditions, a burning hatred for Orcs. These are a few things that drive the common dwarf. Dwarves are amongst some of the best smiths in the world who take major pride in their work. Digging and burrowing into hills and mountains they are often ridiculed by other races. Though they are small they pack one hell of a punch.
Dwarf Names:
Male Names: Grouggumli Forgeback,Firrear Bronzechest,Atgrulir Windshaper,Dhukgric Bittermaker
Female Names: Kungrorra Brickbraids,Fotuinelynn Wyvernmaul Korhehilda Leadbrew,Kondula Earthfinger
Short and Stout:
Bold and hardy, Dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. Though they stand well under 5 ft tall, Dwarves are so broad and compact that they weigh as much as a human standing.
Long Memory, Long Grudge
Dwarves can live to be more than 400 years old, so the oldest of dwarves often remember a very different world. This grants dwarves the difference in perspectives that most short lived races wouldnt even be able to fathom. Because of their long life spans, this also enables them to master many skills before finally passing and leaving their knowledge to their kids or grandkids. Dwarves are easy to temper and hard to quell if their honor is put into question.

Eldarin (Elves)
Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in places of ethereal beauty, in the midst of ancient forests or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze. Elves love nature and magic, art and artistry, music and poetry, and the good things of the world.
Tall, thin people with long lifespans, with rosy peach skintones. They reside in foreboding woodlands and always appear elegant. Some say they were one of Alteria's original races. The magnificence of the elven realms is marked by beautifully sculpted marble stone temples and structures. However, not all elves have the appearance of typical elves. Sun elves with a tannish or golden tinge to their complexion can be found in Sundariel's woodlands. They worship the sun goddess, and their city gleams and glimmers as tall spires fill the sky with a golden radiance. The dark elves may be found in the gloomy city of Myln Oreaid. Sprawling redwoods provide shade from even the brightest rays of the sun. Their dwelling is this marblesque metropolis of dark hues. Tall thin ashen skinned elves populate the streets, which are perceived as a city of misfits and immorality.

Slender and Delicate:
Elves are hauntingly attractive to humans and members of many other races, with their uncanny elegance and excellent features. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, with heights ranging from just under 5 feet to well over 6 feet. They are smaller than humans and weigh approximately 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are around the same height, with males being somewhat heavier than females.
Elves have skin that is copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, hair that is green or blue, and eyes that are pools of liquid gold or silver, in addition to the regular human range. Elves have no facial hair and just a little amount of body hair. They choose exquisite attire in brilliant colors, as well as basic yet attractive jewelry.
An Immortal Perspective.
Elves may live for far over 700 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that may have a greater impact on shorter-lived races. They are more likely to be interested than greedy, and they are more likely to be amused than aroused. They tend to be detached and unmoved by little occurrences. When it comes to pursuing a goal, whether it's a mission or mastering a new talent or art, elves may be focused and relentless. They take their time making friends and enemies, and even longer forgetting them. Petty insults are met with scorn, but major insults are met with vengeance.

Dragon Born
Only 2 pure dragons remain, one ruling the town of Dor , Balzeg the Black patrols the skys with his thunderous roars of any who wish to lay claim to his home. Harun the Gold guards the large volcano of Thurn, its large deposit of obsidian, crystals, and gold make this a target for those who wish to become wealthy and lay claim to the spoils within the mountain volcano. Many have tried but no one has yet to succeed.
With the rupture came the birth of a new races of beings, the Dragonborn, produced from the deaths of countless of dying dragons. Tall dragon-like humanoids, no taller than 6'8 at their smallest. These individuals are the last survivors of a fading race. Their huge snouts are engorged with 20 razor-sharp teeth, and their claws can cut through obsidian on their own. Aside from their association with the Orcs, nothing is known about the dragonborns.
The Lizard Folk, a reptillian race of humanoids who take on more of the primal aspects of the Dragon. These tall and slender cold blooded beings prefer the marshes and Lizard folk perceive the world in a far more primitive fashion, feeling emotions in a less complicated manner and classifying people they encounter as either predator or prey. Their emotions are essentially rooted on fear, aggressiveness, and pleasure, with survival and practical utility taking precedence over anything else. A lizardfolk will keep you around and even defend you if you are helpful to them. If you die in their company, at the very least you'll make a nice lunch.

Draconic Ancestry:
Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings or a tail. The first dragonborn had scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin. Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.
The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some dragonborn. These dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.
Self-Sufficent Clans
To any dragonborn, the clan is more important than life itself. Dragonborn owe their devotion and respect to their clan above all else, even the gods. Each dragonborn’s conduct reflects on the honor of his or her clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile. Each dragonborn knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position.
A continual drive for self-improvement reflects the self-sufficiency of the race as a whole. Dragonborn value skill and excellence in all endeavors. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something. A dragonborn holds mastery of a particular skill as a lifetime goal. Members of other races who share the same commitment find it easy to earn the respect of a dragonborn.

Chapter 3. The World Explained
Alteria's History
Long ago, magic was rife and bountiful throughout the world. The environment was strewn with magical creatures. The Astral Planes, Faerun Realms, and other planes of existence coexisted nearly peacefully. Traveling across realms was a regular practice in the year 1647 B.R. (Before Rupture), when a collection of diverse species (Elves, Dwarves, Deva, Fae, Humans, Centaurs, Dragons, and More.) were all convinced to a world crossroads known as the Caern.
The Proctorian Innulator, a gigantic device used to channel magical powers, was housed in the Caern, the main commerce hub. The Caern was a citadel with a massive tower in the center, and architectural influences from several races may be found throughout the city. The Proctorian Innulator is a massive apparatus that channels the mystical energies of the many realms of reality. A riant rune engraved item, almost like a perfect diamond, lies in the heart of it. Large arms extending outwards surround it, each bearing a crystal mirror from a different dimension. On this day, numerous races came together to do something never done before. They intended to utilize the Proctorian Innulator to harness and increase all of the magic.
Powered by (Gildor Stormhook: Human, Grendel Stonehammer: Dwarf, Shelemach the Wary: Fae, Andruil Petalfallen: Elf, Drumac Boneseether: Orc, Bastion the Desolate: Dragon, and Asmodium the Defiler: Deva.) Within the huge tower, they preside over a council. Each race is pouring their ideas and intentions into how to best carry out this plan to combine all of the realm's magical powers at the same time. They thought for days until the Human (Gildor Stormhook) spoke out one day with his own scheme. Humans, who are regarded as the least smart and respected, devised the ideal design, motions, and alignments. Gildor, on the other hand, was not just any ordinary human; he was the first to master the ways of Mana (magic).
The other races listened but refused to accept that a lone human could know more than all of them put together, and they raced off Gildor's scheme, devising their own. Months later, they are preparing for what they thought would be the final victory. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. They funneled the energy required from the recognized blueprints of existence one by one, pouring them into the machine. Moving closer and closer to the calamity that would be. The machine shook and trembled as it absorbed all of their absorbed energies. Each mirror reflects the central spot. As a gigantic beam of pure magical energy shoots skyward and crushes the walls surrounding them into dust, a large explosion of magical energies disintegrates everything within the tower. As the blindlight fades and the Caern now sits in ruin, screams can be heard from within the city on the campsites on the borders of the Caern.
A weird magical burst of magical energy rushes across the countryside, wiping out the magic. Across the globe, once-abundant magic has disappeared. Darkness engulfed the region where the Caern previously stood, potentially all the way into the Aether. Creatures that had earlier felt free to use their power now felt nothing. For the first time, a frigid emptiness. A colder front approaches, causing the ground to freeze over and snow to fall. The area, which was once teeming with life, is now empty of it. Citizens and individuals who formerly moved freely are now nothing more than frozen corpses. After 200 years, the kingdoms of the Elves, Dwarves, Orcs & Dragons, and Humans are on the verge of destruction. Their long-standing alliances are suddenly shattered as paranoia grips their hearts. This cataclysmic catastrophe known only as The Rupture gives birth to new races. Many beings were exiled back to their original worlds of existence, and many were rendered powerless without their magic. What will happen to this land? Many have attempted to restore the Mana flow, but none have been successful thus far.

Planes of Existence
Aether: Realm of the Gods
The Aether is the realm of the Gods, where they derive their divine power. From here the Gods watch over the other realms and upkeep the balance of life. It is described in small detail in multiple accounts from different parts of civilizations. A shining silver gleaming city or perhaps made of gold can be found at the center of the Aether, surrounded by tall mountains and flowing rivers. It is said that the river of life and mana flows from the great tree of Aeturnum and spills into the canals of this marvelous city. The souls of the dead who have made peace with their departure live and guard it.
Hellsium: Infernal Realm
The Infernal plane of Hellsium is much the opposite of the Aether. It is a realm of chaos and debauchery. The place souls go when their guilt overtakes them in death. Molten lava springs and dark volcanic landscapes that seem to infinitely go into the horizons is what is said to be found here. The only music this plane hears if that of screaming and pain. This is where the Deva call their home.
Faerune: Fae Realm
Beautiful forests and lush springs make up the majority of the Fae realm. Many creatures call this realm their home but none so powerful or mischevious as Faeries and Pixies. In the Amberwood resides the court of summer, in the Wilderwood resides the court or Autumn, in the Whitewood resides the court of winter, and in the Greenwoods resides the court of Spring. Each tasked with their own individual traits and tasks to perform for the good of the realm.
Droxial: Shadow Realm
In the Dark Forests of Droxial, the shadow realm you find some of the most menacing of foes. Dark creatures twisted by the shadows stalk these woods and lands. A single mountain known only to those who dwell or have dwelled amongst this land know it as Mt. Umbrus. It is said that prolonged exposure to this realm leads to madness and fear, though some they say have learned to master the gift of shadows and become something else.
Krill: Far Realm
This maddening realm was feared for its power to twist unfortunate visitors into gruesome monsters, and it was from here that aberrations came.According to Malyanna, a servant of the Abolethic Sovereignty, all cosmologies are threatened by the same Far Realm. The Far Realm was made up of an unlimited number of strata. Unlike many Outer Plane strata, they were exceedingly thin, ranging from an inch to a mile in thickness and spaced by around ten feet. These levels were also transparent, and passengers could see through about twenty of them, each becoming progressively fuzzy.
Material Plane: Mortal Realm
The world as we know it makes up the Material Plane. This plane is said to be the center focal point of the realms and through it, a bridge between realms. Large mountains, flowing rivers, cavernous oceans, and blooming forests. Many of the mortal races live here and it is said that this plane was created accidently by the great god Tyvbris. This plane is said to be made from the heart of a once colossal titan that waged war on the gods.
Justicia: Astral Realm
By spell, psionic ability, or equipment, the Astral might be reached from practically any place in a Prime Material realm or the first layer of any Outer plane. It was characterized as a desolate wasteland of other-dimensional emptiness that extended in all directions. What little solid stuff drifted in the brilliant, colorless vacuum was mostly fragments of matter split off from their parent plane. The Astral had no gravity, yet objects retained their mass, allowing you to move in the weightless world by throwing little items or pushing off from massive objects. Time flowed at the same rate in the Astral as it did on the Prime Material plane, but the effects of time were slowed nearly to a halt, a thousand years on the Astral world seemed like only a day to the traveler. While on the Astral world, creatures did not become hungry or age. As a result, in order to have children or achieve adulthood, its mortal residents had to return to the Material Plane. Entering the Astral plane may be done in two ways: by projecting your astral form onto the realm with the astral projection spell, or by physically entering the plane.

Tinder Wolves: Heralds of Destruction
A tinder wolf is a wolf infused with the power of elemental fire, a canine genasi of sorts. Its body is jet black and ashy, with a faint flame constantly burning underneath its coat. Its eyes shine like candles, and it's flaming maw sears any flesh it bites.
Ashes to Ashes. Much like their regular counterparts, tinder wolves hunt in packs, encircling their prey before they strike. Striking a tinder wolf spreads flaming ashes that sear the attacker alive, so tinder wolves hunt more recklessly. Killing one is said to bring a terrible curse on those who do.
Deathly Omens. Tinder wolves usually appear after as a great omen to those whom see them. A few days of someone seeing them, the nearest settlement is found burned to the ground or decimated in some way. Last time one of these beasts was found in the Mundane world was when the great angel Raziel came down and engulfed an entire capital in holy light, burning the city to ashes.

Storm King: Balzeg the Black
Balzeg the Black is one out of the two last remaining dragons within Alteria. His monstrous build reaches high towards the sky seeming to split with every one of his roars. He patrols they skies watching over his kingdom and may the gods help those who get on his bad side. Like all dragons, Balzeg speaks mostly in his natural Draconic tongue and refuses to converse in "ghastly languages". He is said to be over 20ft tall and lightning in his eyes.

Draconic Superiority There aren't many things that can penetrate a dragons thick hide and scales.

Weapons forged in dragon-fire are of superior quality as most special materials like Obsidian can only be melted at the extremely high temperatures. Dragons are also said to be able to bestow great gifts onto weapons they breathe on.

She rules the Seelie Court and was also known as the Faerie Queen and the Queen of Light. The queen emerged as a magnificent fae. Her complexion was the color of peaches, and her hair sparkled with the hues of autumn leaves.
