Ra'envalar

Welcome to the official wiki Ra'envalar Campaign Setting, a table-top roleplaying game using Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 set in an all-original setting: New deities, new cosmology, and new classes. As the creator of this campaign setting, I've decided to organize it here as a reference for my players and as a starters' guide for DMs that may want to run this setting on their own.

About the World

Ra'envalar is not a traditional D&D campaign, particularly with regards to alignment. The real world doesn't have clear-cut definitions of what is good, evil, chaotic, or lawful; everything is just one big shade of gray. And while it's impossible to remove alignment from D&D and still have the same game, it's still possible to limit it. Good and evil aren't the end-all be-all that defines people, and good and evil creatures can (and often will) work together toward a mutual goal. For a more detailed explanation, please read the alignment article. For a list of playable classes and races, check out this link.

What You Need to Play

First and foremost, you'll need the Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 Player's Handbook, the first core rulebook for the D&D game. I make references to some D&D concepts and rules (Domains for deities, core character classes, etc.) Also useful are the Dungeon Master's Guide and the Monster Manual, these being the three core rulebooks and the minimum three to play the full game. I've also used material from several of the Complete series (Complete Warrior, Complete Arcane, etc.), so those might be worth a look at for the additional classes they provide. Because no copyrighted material is going to appear on this site, you'll need to get your hands on those materials another way. Original materials that I develop (domains, classes, feats) will appear on here and be free to use, but do not republish them without receiving written permssion--I can be contacted at jonsnowlives-at-gmail-dot-com, and will usually give permission provided it's for non-commercial use and I'm credited.
