# Player Guide
A hot desert sun greets you as you finally reach Do'Urm. Just west of the peaceful lands of the Anafyst Kingdom and at the eastern border of the Trampled Barrens. Nearby lies the entrance to the **Iron Labyrinth**. A place only known by name from ancient myths and legends. Since the opening of the labyrinth 15 years ago, many adventurers dared to go inside. Few actually returned. Those that did spoke of **ancient dangers** inside the labyrinth and beyond, but also lost civilizations, artifacts and **treasure**.<br><br>

**Do'Urm** is a small town close to the Iron Labyrinth. Since the massive gate's discovery, the town transitioned from small travelers stop to tourist spot to a bristling hub. Many interested parties, including adventurers, settled in Do'Urm and many traveling merchants include it in their trade route.<br><br>

**You** just arrived in Do'Urm, your base of operation for the time being. Here you'll form parties with other adventurers and go on expeditions into the labyrinth and other other places. You are automatically a member of the **Adventurers Guild**. Which mediates with quest givers, helps form parties and allows for sharing tools between adventurers.<br><br>

</div>

### What we do
We play D&D 5e as an open table game in a world persistent throughout all sessions. Each session is a single adventure, with different parties every time.

Starting in Do'Urm, the party heads out to dangerous, untamed places in chase of danger, discovery and treasure. Successful or not, the party must return to Do'Urm before the end of the session, or roll the dice.

An overview of **Houserules** (p6): flanking, crit hit/miss, longer resting and Guild Coins. Optional, between sessions there are downtime activities and you can join factions.

### What you need to play

- Join the **Discord**, see above
- Use **OrcPub** to create a character, see below
- Create **a character** following the steps in page 2 and 3

Check with the DM what level we start at, we usually don't start at level 1. Then follow the steps on the following pages and on OrcPub. Please roll dice on discord.

### When we play

Do you have a specific quest in mind, or just want to play? Reach out to other players (on discord for example) to gather a party of 3-5 players and contact the DM for availability.

Otherwise the DM organises sessions based on availability.

#### OrcPub:
Link: **<a href="https://remote.mikevanmourik.com/pages/login-page">https://remote.mikevanmourik.com/pages/login-page</a>**<br>**Login for this campaign:**<br>Username: . . . **OpenTable**<br>Password:. . . . **DnD@Bart**<br>Note: your browser will complain the website is not private. This is because Mike hosts OrcPub for us.

</div>

\pagebreakNum

## Character Creation

### 1. Use Orcpub
1. **Use the OrcPub link and login from the previous page!** Note your browser may complain the website is not private. This is because Mike is hosting it.
2. Get one of the import files from the files channel on discord. Please discuss with the DM if you want to use anything from the UA one.
3. Import the file on OrcPub at My Content *(see image)*.
4. Go to the character builder *(see image)*.
5. Put **[YourName]** at the start of your character's name.

### 2. Choose a Race
Each character belongs to a race, one of the many intelligent humanoid species on Avoane. The most common on the Græanlon continent are **Dragonborn**, **Gnomes** and **Tieflings**.<br>Less prevalent are **Dwarves**, **Elves**, **Halflings** and **Humans**, though they still have their own societies.
Lastly you can also play one of the rare **Aasimar**, **Half-Elves** or **Half-Orcs**.<br>*(See the following pages for more details per race.)*

Note: Other races are not native to these lands. They can be played, but require the Far Traveler background.

### 3. Choose a Class
Every adventurer is a member of a class. This broadly determines what special talents and skills they have, and how they most likely will explore dungeons, fight monsters or engage in tense negotiations.

All classes and character options from the **official D&D 5e books** are allowed. Pick the *Avoane Basics* import if you're a new player or don't want to be overloaded with options. Else you can use the all books import.

Multiclassing is allowed following the rules of the Player Handbook for multiclassing.

### 4. Determine Ability Scores
1. Type "**!randchar**" in the *cmd* channel on **discord**.
2. If your stats do not:<br>• include a 16 or higher, replace the highest with a 16<br>• include a 9 or lower, replace the lowest with an 8
3. Fill in your stats underneath Manual Entry *(see image)*. You can choose which number you use for which stat.

> #### Playing from other Sources
> 
> Races, Classes, etc. from other sources, like the Unearthed Arcana (UA import file), are potentially allowed if you can persuade the DM that they fit in the world and are balanced.

### 5. Starting Level

Typically only adventurers with some experience dare to venture towards Do'Urm. **Check with the DM at which**<br>**level you start.** You can fill this in, in the Class/Level tab<br>on OrcPub.

\pagebreakNum

#### Rolling HP
Your maximum HP increases when you level up. To determine how much it increases you have to roll a dice depending on your class. Noted in OrcPub in the Class/Level tab (e.g. "Barbarian (D12)")
- Roll the dice in the *cmd* channel **on discord** using the following command: "_!r 1d12_"<br>(change the 12 to the dice for your class).
- If you roll below average, you get the average instead (e.g. this is a 6 for a D12).
- Write the values down in OrcPub, in the Class/Level tab.

### 6. Other Options
Fill out the remaining choices in the different tabs under Options. All these are marked with red dots in OrcPub, showing the remaining choices.
- Some races have a sub race to pick.
- Depending on your level, you may have ability score improvements to choose.
- Classes also get several different options as you level up.
- What did your character do before they became an adventurer. Choose a **background** for your character which also gives them proficiency in certain skills.
- Choose the **spells** your character knows (for certain spellcasting classes).
- What other skills **proficiencies** does your character have? Any tools, instruments? Any languages? The choices here depend on earlier choices.
- Note regarding **Languages**: Common is the main language spoken in the area. It is also known as Grænalon.<br>Those with the Far Traveler background speak a different language native to their birthplace. Other languages, e.g. Draconic or Infernal, only differ in dialect.

### 7. Describe your character
Once you know the basic game aspects of your character, it's time to flesh him or her out as a person. In the Description tab you can fill out their **name**, **age**, **gender**, detailed **appearance**, **behaviour** (mannerisms, accent), and their **personality**.

\columnbreak

You also get to pick their **alignment**; their general moral compass and the side they lean towards on the grand cosmic scale.

Expand on your character's **backstory**, describing their life up until now. I encourage you to include elements that allow me to incorporate your character's backstory into the world. The [Knife Theory](https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/775caq/my_friends_and_i_have_something_called_knife/ "title") gives some good suggestions.

*Note: Any character older than 200 years has lived through the Rain of Chaos; a dreadful event which killed over half the world's population over 200 years ago*

#### Deity
If you would like your character to worship a deity, you can choose one from the list of Forgotten Realms or nonhuman deities presented in appendix B of the Player’s Handbook. Clerics and characters with the Acolyte background must choose a deity from that list.

Or use this [Online deity list](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/appendix-b-gods-of-the-multiverse#DeitiesoftheForgottenRealms "List of Deities")

### 8. Equipment
You get starting equipment based on your class and background. Normally you'll be able to pick what weapons you want here (depending on previous choices)

- We do not roll for starting wealth
- Do not add any more items than the choices you are given (unless explicitly mentioned by the DM)
- Note regarding Gaming Sets:<br>• Dice sets are Wizards Dice, the most popular game across Grænalia, played by people from all walks of life.<br>• Playing cards are mostly used for Dragon Poker, an easy yet weirdly complex game no one knows the full rules to.<br>• Three-Dragon Ante doesn't exist, don't pick this.

### 9. Character Motivation
Last but not least, your character must have a motivation to go on adventure. Why do they want to venture into the labyrinth or embark on quests from Do'Urm.

Also think of reason why the character is working together with the other party members. The easiest is to come up with some personal connection to another party member.

# Races
<div class='races-page'>

### Aasimar
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1fVBT1E0ycnZitP4FJFUflbe_QEv86XXg' style='position:absolute; top:92px; left:315px; width:91px;' />

The Aasimar used to be amongst the most prevalent<br>races and are the old rulers of the Grænalon Empire.<br>Yet since the Rain of Chaos, most have disappeared.<br>Those still alive are often seen as symbols of hope for<br>better time or a threat to the establishment.

Aasimar bear within their souls the light of the heavens.<br>Born with a celestial heritage, to be champions of the<br>gods. some follow their ordained path, while others see<br>it as a curse against their free will.

_±225 years_ . . . . _1.5 - 1.8m_ . . . . _50 - 110kg_

### Dwarves
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=16d1oOod8E10bFFJH5s-I8Jc3b9UKjFmK' style='position:absolute; top:298px; left:305px; width:95px;' />

Bold and hardy, Dwarves are known as skilled<br>warriors, miners and workers of stone and metal.<br>They are slow to change and hold long memories.<br>They respect traditions and value their clans and<br>kingdom. Most Dwarves can be found living in<br>their own cities or underground fortresses.

Since the Wars of the Little People, several<br>Dwarven Kings still hunt Halflings for revenge.<br>Though not all Dwarves are involved, most are still<br>greeted by glances of contempt.

_±350 years_ . . . . _1.1 - 1.4m_ . . . . _50 - 110kg_

### Gnomes
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1K1CcD_pcIUniOm8V0a-6LqtYtuQ1Rppn' style='position:absolute; top:531px; left:326px; width:60px;' />

As one of the most prevalent races, Gnomes can be found in all 
corners of Avoane. Present in most cities and in small communities 
throughout the land.

A constant hum of busy activity pervade their<br>neighborhoods where they form close-knit communities.<br>Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding<br>gears here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of surprise<br>or triumph, and especially bursts of laughter. Gnomes<br>take delight in life, enjoying every moment of invention,<br>exploration, investigation, creation and play. They are not<br>the kind to get hung up on old conflicts.

_±425 years_ . . . . _0.9 - 1.1m_ . . . . _17 - 20kg_

### Humans
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1oepd5ZL13rFzl1ckqckC7hEfUnJQCXtd' style='position:absolute; top:650px; left:303px; width:98px;' />

The humans are a well known race. A lot of them travel<br>around as merchants or scholars, spreading goods,<br>culture and language. They also build large cities that<br>thrive on trade. Generally well organised and well<br>connected across the different lands.

Humans are the most adaptable and ambitious<br>people among the common races. They have widely<br>varying tastes, morals and customs in the many<br>different lands they settled. Though in general their<br>societies are very welcoming and inclusive.

_±80 years_ . . . . _1.45 - 1.9m_ . . . . _50 - 120kg_

### Half-Elves
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=18lUwJ1oKDqhGUfpfbtAThv5zVfUopetA' style='position:absolute; top:830px; left:285px; width:118px;' />

Half-Elves are a rare hybrid race, a breed between Elves<br>and Humans. They walk in two worlds, but truly<br>belonging to neither. They rarely find others of<br>their kind. Some tend to avoid company and<br>wander the wilds, while others prefer to throw<br>themselves into the thick of society.

Most are found in cities where Humans and<br>Elves mingle. Partaking in city life as any Human<br>or Elf would.

_±180 years_ . . . . _1.5 - 1.8m_ . . . . _50 - 110kg_

\columnbreak

### Dragonborn
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=18GpZKxXHjcTASjTaR8kC4GHZqZ_m-g4Z' style='position:absolute; mix-blend-mode:multiply; top:80px; left:672px; width:122px;' />

One of the most prevalent races on Avoane and the<br>current rulers of the Anafyst kingdom. Most align<br>with the royal family, ruling the lands with an iron fist.

Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the<br>Dragonborn walk proudly through a world that often<br>still greets them with fearful incomprehension. To any<br>Dragonborn, the clan is more important than life itself.<br>Honor binds them to it. They continuously strive for self<br>improvement and value skill and excellence.

_±225 years_ . . . . _1.7 - 2.1m_ . . . . _80 - 160kg_

### Elves
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=133J-3fWI_ZBID7WEYCIFTLBc_XzDUmBG' style='position:absolute; top:278px; left:687px; width:82px;' />

Elves meddle little in the affairs of the other races and<br>prefer living in their hidden woodland realms. They<br>are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the<br>world but not entirely part of it. Elves can live well over<br>700 years, giving them a broad perspective on events<br>that might trouble the shorter lived races more deeply.

They still seem more concerned with the Rain of<br>Chaos and disappearance of the Aasimar than present<br>day conflicts and politics.

_±750 years_ . . . . _1.4 - 1.8m_ . . . . _35 - 80kg_

### Halflings
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1AOWWe4LpClXrefDJ5xqJJ837kenUaruA' style='position:absolute; top:513px; left:685px; width:70px;' />

A great war between Halflings, Dwarves and Gnomes got settled 53 
years ago after decades of conflicts. These are also known as the 
Wars of the Little People. Due to events from the wars, Halflings are 
still wanted death or alive by several Dwarven Kings who<br>feel entitled to revenge.

Otherwise, Halflings are a friendly people who prefer<br>the comforts of their peaceful homes. A place with a<br>blazing fire, a generous meal, plenty of drinks and fine<br>conversations. Most live in quaint villages in the country<br>side, though some can also be found in major cities.

_±150 years_ . . . . _0.8 - 1m_ . . . . _15 - 21kg_

### Tieflings
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1QWhyMlU1TFqxRR6DrTl4vHMTrBUF7Aue' style='position:absolute; top:650px; left:670px; width:110px;' />

One of the most common races on Avoane, yet still often<br>greeted with suspicion and mistrust. They have infernal<br>bloodlines, being descendants from the demons<br>themselves. They are self reliant and not quick to trust,<br>yet will do so when trusted. Once they give their loyalty,<br>they are a firm friend or ally for life.

They are an integral part to every city, yet avoid<br>public roles. You'll always find some involved in any<br>wars, trade routes, charities and most businesses.

_±180 years_ . . . . _1.45 - 1.8m_ . . . . _50 - 110kg_

### Half-Orcs
<img src='https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1Zuezk44JabGqLRQUH9mNCgzD8Xp2RaPo' style='position:absolute; top:805px; left:655px; width:134px;' />

Half-Orcs are a rare hybrid race, a breed between<br>Orcs and Humans. Often still disregarded for their<br>Orc Half, they live in the shades of the more civilized<br>world. Or as chieftains of their Orc tribes as the more<br>intelligent of the bunch.

Although not involved with politics, Half-Orcs are<br>often seen on the battlefield as mercenaries.<br>Experienced ones are the best ally on the<br>battlefield and always sought after.

# The World of Avoane

Several bodies are visible in Avoane's skies. The obvious one is the sun. Yet one can also see the rising and setting of the massive planet which Avoane orbit's. Each eight week this planet completely blocks out the sun, causing a week long eclipse. In the west another massive moon can be seen, always in the same spot. This moon is tidally locked to Avoane.

Spread across Avoane are a multitude of continents. You find yourselves on and from Grænalea. A massive continent located in the northern hemisphere.

## Grænalea

Grænalea is a mostly peaceful continent once ruled by the Grænalon Empire. The first empire to rule the entire continent and seemingly eternal. Then the sky came down in an event called the Rain of Chaos. This destroyed large portions of the continent and killed over half the population. Since then people rebuilt and the Anafyst kingdom rose to power in the east. The west remained scattered in separate city states, with the lands completely destroyed.

#### The Anafyst Kingdom

In the present day, the Anafyst Kingdom encompasses the eastern and central part of the continent. Most peoples live here under peaceful dragonborn rule, who brought an end to the wars and chased of dangerous monsters and bandits.

\columnbreak

The kingdom is home to all races. Mountain Dwarves can be found in their underground kingdoms, forest Elves in their woodland realms. The countryside is littered with villages of Gnomes, Dragonborn and Halflings. More villages exist where any few races have built a home together. And the cities are home to all. Seats of power and society where all work and live together.

#### The Trampled Barrens

In the west, the Trampled Barrens buries the ruins of the Grænalon empire underneath an inhospitable desert. The land is flat, barren and desolate, fractured with wild rivers in deep chasms. There are only a few remaining cities sprinkled about, having turned into independent city states. A trading route across the rivers connects the cities and the rest of the continent.

#### The Northern Barrier Mountains

The northern barrier mountains stretch all the way across the western and central north side of the continent. The area is mostly uninhabited and not part of any established rule. There are several monasteries found in the mountain range forming a a refuge for travelers and the training ground of Monks.

#### Southern Ocean

The vast expanse to the south is called the Southern Ocean. It stretches out far beyond the horizon and encompasses the entire continent. Ships often traverse these waters, yet always with the coast in view.

\pagebreakNum

# House Rules

House rules are things that deviate from the basic rules and are unique to this campaign. The most common ones are monsters and (magic) items that are unique to the world. Others have been added because they add more fun, further enrich the world or help with streamlining the game for the open table. Some of these are optional rules from the official books, others are more custom.

#### Optional Rules Used

- **Critical Success or Failure** On a 1 or 20 roll for an attack, ability check or saving throw players succeed or fail exceptionally. Resulting in a bigger success or failure.
- **Flanking:** when a creature and an ally are adjacent to an enemy and on opposite sides, they can make melee attacks against that enemy with advantage.
- **Rest Variant:** A short rest takes 8 hours and a long rest takes 1 week of non-adventuring.
- **Catch a Breath** An extra rest which takes 1 hour and recharges all things that recharge on a short rest. Players can also use bandages to spend and recover 1 hit dice.
- **Renown** is tracked for progressing within Factions. Currently the DM keeps track of this.

### Guild Coins

Guild coins are a magical currency, more valuable than gold or platinum, used by many throughout the world. Guild coins can be used for favours and represent a social agreement. The adventurers guild gives all adventurers access to the use of Guild Coins. They also add reliability and discretion to the purchase or service payed for.

Breaking this thrust means excommunication.

Guild Coins look like well decorated, slightly larger golden coins. However, rubbing 2 coins against each other (or a detect magic spell) will make the coins glow slightly and confirm their magical nature. This is often used to verify the authenticity of coins.

Guild Coins are often rewarded by the adventurers guild for completing certain quests and sharing expedition reports with other adventurers. There is a channel on discord for sharing these reports.

### Escape the Dungeon

The party starts their adventure from Do'Urm and ends their adventure in Do'Urm, returning before the end of the session. In case the party doesn't make it back before the end of the session they must roll an escape the dungeon check.

- When getting close to the session end, the DM will announce the session will end within an hour.
- If the party is unable to make it back in time, they can plan another session within 14 days and with all players present.
- Or roll to escape the dungeon

For the roll, **you roll a D100**, with the chance of success depending on how easy it is to get back from your current situation. Is there a straight path back, dangers in the area, how long would it take, etc.

\columnbreak

- **Success**: You make it back
- **Failure**: Roll on the table below to see what happens

##### Failed Escape

|  9  | *You have died. Roll the D100 again to see if your companions know where the corpse is.* |

As such they founded the Adventurers Guild and introduced the use of Guild Coins.

# Do'Urm

You gently wake up in the inn and get out of bed. It feels like a cool desert morning, about 20°C. You are greeted by sunlight as you open the shutters. The sun itself is still blocked from view by the massive cliff wall just east of town. You brush the desert sand from the windowsill, probably from a sandstorm atop the cliff. Or a rockstorm, given the rumbling last night. The streets are noisy, with many caravans and merchants preparing for departure. Making way for todays arrivals. You don your armor and grab your gear. Stuff the rest inside the chest in your room and your valuables in a secret floor compartment underneath. As you lock the room behind you, you can see your friends waiting downstairs from the balustrade. Together you head out for another day of adventure.<br><br>

Do'Urm is a small town with around 2000 people roaming its streets daily. Only about half actually live in Do'Urm. The rest are adventurers, merchants and their caravans, and other tourists traveling through. Before the discovery of the labyrinth entrance it was only a small hamlet, built around the Old Inn. Now it's a common stop on trade routes through the area and a bustling hub for adventurers.

### Lay of the land

A stream runs through the center of town, leaving for Porton and the sea to the south. The Old Inn, market, Grand Bazaar, craftsmen district and upper class districts are all on the far side. The shaunty, middle and lower class districts are on the cliff side.

> Various areas in Do'Urm are under construction as the town is expanding on all sides.
