D&D 3.5 (General / Eclipse) Domain Building

GAME LINK: link to another game
NOTE: Per the RPOL Forum Rules this is an Adult rated game.

It is classified as Adult. This is not because there's going to be any explicit sex. Trust me; there are better written sex scenes out there than anything you're going to manage and I REALLY doubt that you have anything truly new to say on the subject. If it comes to that, just note it and move on. It's rated Adult because this is a d20 world, and thus offers occasional gratuitous violence and massive imbalances of personal power. People have a regrettable tendency to treat those weaker than themselves as victims or property - and so slavery is common in several of the major societies of Atheria. I'm counting that as an "adult theme".

Atheria is an Eclipse (Point Buy) d20 3.5 sandbox setting focusing on the (re-) colonization of a recently depopulated region with a starting level of four. Characters are expected to be trying to establish their own domains and may be working together or be working independently. Players who are unused to point-buy d20 may opt to start off using classes from almost any sourcebook. They can usually be fit into an Eclipse setting pretty readily - although the setting does restrict spells, psionic powers, and similar abilities of levels 4+.

Race is generally restricted Humans with Atherian Birthrights - although that covers a rather wide variety of racial types. The vast majority of Templates and other races are not available.



Game Intro:
Atheria is not a world for men, but merely a place of refuge.
It's ways are old beyond measure, the presence of men yet young upon it.
It's magic runs it's own way, it's depths beyond men's mastery.
In each great domain one power holds sway, binding with each new life.
A Birthright that shapes the region, and the life within it, in it's own image.
The realms of Order, of the Sun, of Blood and Shadow, of Life - and of Death.
Men trespass upon antiquity, challenging the order of things.
They press beyond the ancient boundaries, seek to shape the world to their will.
What course shall you set? What legacy shall you leave?

Still accepting players.

Multiple groups have gone out to claim their part of the pie.
  • Dare you go out to build your own kingdom?
  • Perhaps become a trader to become rich off the new lords?
  • Seek out other adventure?


This is a Sandbox style campaign world with plenty to do. Explore the Order Domain, home to the Imperium and their well-established ways. Where most of the adventures have started from...

Starting characters are Level 4 (Eclipse Build or standard character classes from any d20 3.x/pathfinder source)

If building an eclipse character, the adventurer's framework is in play. You'll have between 138 - 156 Character Points (CP) depending if you take duties and disadvantages or not.

Open to any level of experience, just be willing to post 3 times a week to keep the game flow progressing. Helps if you have an idea of what your character is capable of (Concept) and what you want to accomplish (Reason to exist). Beyond that, hooks to draw you into the game are a smart thing to do!

Your friendly GMs are Thoth-Amon & Horus.

Bump - Happy month of May!

Taking back a city under enemy occupation: Probably need a warrior or two specializing in defense, a decent healer, someone who is good at rapid construction work, and perhaps a warding specialist.

Will anyone take up the torch?

Bump - Seems we lost a couple of players to real life struggles.


Atheria is ripe for adventures, will you rebuild a legacy of your own in the fluctuating Dimensional Realm? Investigate the strange appearances of strangers from other worlds? Track down ancient artifacts that have greater mysteries? How about going the Dark Lords and their effective marketing scheme (Illicit goods and requests just a ritual call away!). How about explore the rest of the realms and discover the truth about Atheria?


Although this realm is meant for kingdom building, any adventure is possible, many characters populate this realm. Do you have what it takes to leave a legacy of your own?

Never played classless? Don't worry, we'll hold your hand, guide you through the process (Even make the character for you). All you need to do is play.

Help! New, strange, and powerful invaders simply called the 'Interlopers' have appeared! Alien Avain humanoids capable of nature styled magic. These beings have appeared in the DIMENSIONAL DOMAIN and have a hatred towards Humanity, seeking to cause mass extinction! Will you rise to defend humanity against this threat from beyond Atheria?


An immensely powerful being transplanting creatures from other worlds has appeared in the STORM DOMAIN. One group has encountered that child-like entity. Will you prevent others from being ripped from their homeworlds to satisfy this child-like entity?


The Dimensional Barriers have collapsed. Will the enemy that caused humanity to flee invade Atheria and destroy the last bastion for humanity? Will heroes rise again to save the world from extinction against this powerful force?


Do you want to make your mark on Atheria, the realm of danger, and powerful Fey Lords? Will you lead an expedition to claim recently vacated land to restart the trade with the imperium? How about the search for ancient artifacts of power from the old powers? Will you work the pyramid scheme of the Dark Lords brokering in souls? How about just build your own kingdom


This game is a player-driven sandbox-style world, where the world is living and changing, and your decisions will alter it. Whether for good or ill.



STARTING LEVEL is 4th - 138 Character Points minimum, built using d20 (Classless d20 using Eclipse: The Codex Persona - d20 Pointbuy Classless system). Alternatively, if classless is not your cup of tea, any standard class build is allowed and will be modified to increase power to make it compatible with the setting.

Actual kingdoms are treated as Characters where the lord (PC) of the kingdom dictates the growth and focus.

The GMs assist you in crafting a character you will enjoy.

PROS: Both GMs are active and keep the updates daily to every other day. Active players are good role-players and like to interact with others. Relationships can be developed if desired, if you want to partnered up this is easily accomplished. Characters are able to join different groups as they explore the world.

CONS: Lots of information to learn about the campaign world. ;)

Time for another shameless plug for this ongoing sandbox campaign.

Power Level for new characters is Level 4. We have characters that have been abandoned over time if you want the challenge of adopting a character. Or create a new character for your very own.

Why is the Atheria campaign world unique?

It features powers based upon a birthright the is unique to where a character is born in the world. Not a native to the world of Atheria? No sweat, you gain the powerful Dragon-born birthright instead. No high-level magics allowed, but the entire world is magic!

The world is a patchwork of Domains with their fey domain lords that control the human population, molding them into what they desire! Do you have what it takes to leave a legacy upon Atheria? Will you build your own mini-domain in Atheria as a Lord? Or perhaps you'll work for others as dark mercenaries? No alignment restrictions!


Yes, you can come from any other game system or genre, we'll adapt you to the current system stats and get you plugged in. Plenty of mystery and challenges in the world of Atheria!

Also, you start in a solo thread, self-paced to what works for your schedule. You'll have opportunities to meet other characters, forge alliances and trade, engage in politics if you have a desire, and of course rule with an iron fist or velvet glove.

Open sandbox world with plenty of adventure, kingdom building, and mysteries to explore.

Right now we need players willing to adopt characters to get into the game immediately.

Will you be the mysterious Earth Master, looking for his lost sister and helping to transplant heretics from the homeland to a new home in the dimensional realm? Uq'uo of the Burning Sands calls to you.

How about a Battle Witch, leader of a coven of witches seeking a new home and working with others to achieve this goal? Chayyliel the battle witch and leader of her coven calls to you!

Or perhaps a noble who dallies as a battlefield medic. Along with her mischievous ferrets, she is capable of healing her allies and managing long-range communication. Rhaina of the Order birthright calls to you.

Together they work with Gaius (A rune magister) and Cassia (Gaius' adjutant and bodyguard), leaders of an expedition to retake the sunken city that was once the thriving trade hub between the Dimensional kingdoms and the grand Imperium. Working alongside Cassia and Gaius is the retired legionnaire Bestari Vitelius, who seeks to free the orphans of unwanted birthright and claim a new home for them as well.

We have more groups actively playing that need players to join this growing world.

Don't know the system? We will help you. All we ask is commitment and have fun in a homebrew campaign world where HUMANS are the refugees in a magical realm where they are under immensely powerful Feylords and the domains you are born into shape your existence.

ADOPTIONS:

NameLevelConceptNotes
Rhaina (F)5Order Battlefield HealerHas Two Companion Ferrets; Currently with large party in Dimensional Domain
Uq'uo (M)5Purity EarthmasterLoyal to Cassia and freeing his people from bondage
Chayyliel (F)5Lunar Coven MasterLooking for a new home
Gaius (M)5Order Rune MagisterLeader of the expedition into the dimensional realm
