The Year is 5041 ae (Age of Enchantment)

⋆ IORVALA (your-vah-luh) is a gritty yet whimsical high fantasy world heavily inspired by aspects of Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur's Gate 3, and The Elder Scrolls. It's filled with various towns, cities, homesteads, and more.

⋆ People (like adventurers, mercenaries, and exiles) roam the land chasing glory, survival, experience, or redemption.

⋆ Regions consist of various grasslands, forests, swamps, underground caverns, deserts, mountains, ruins, and more.

⋆ Magic is tied to one’s soul or acquired through pacts with gods or infernal beings. All sorts of creatures exist, and the land is filled with endless adventure. Technology is medieval with rare enchantment innovations (like magic weapons).

Anything! Iorvala is filled with all sorts of species and classes, so the possibilities are endless... Just know that sometimes discrimination or stereotypes may exist between species.

* Rarely, but sometimes certain roleplay scenarios may revolve around you being a specific species or from a certain background :)

Nope! You don’t need to create a full class or D&D-style character sheet to roleplay with my characters (unless you want to). Feel free to pick a random class for fun - or none at all! :) The themed pages here are just to add flavor and inspiration. So don’t stress about it, just dive in and enjoy the roleplay!

The seven main Gods of Iorvala

The gods of Iorvala are powerful beings who shape the world through their domains. Each god represents a fundamental force and their influence is woven into the fabric of daily life. While some gods are benevolent and nurturing, others are distant or demand devotion in exchange for their blessings. lesser gods also exist, but don't have large followings.Mortals worship them in temples, shrines, and sacred groves, seeking guidance, power, or protection. The gods rarely intervene directly, but their presence can be felt in miracles, natural phenomena, and the mana that flows through the world.

RYN, God of Light, Hope, and Rebirth

Ryn is the ultimate optimist. He is the beacon you look to when everything sucks and you need a fresh start. Think of him as the god who never stops believing in you, even when you’ve long given up on yourself.

Worshippers: Farmers, healers, and anyone crawling out of rock bottom. Humans and wood elves love Ryn, especially when they’re rebuilding after disasters.His temples are always open and filled with candles that never burn out, symbolizing eternal hope.

Rysh, God of Dark, Secrets, and Dreams

Rysh is all about the the unknown. He sees everything hidden, everything unspoken, everything denied. He does not guide, he offers. The truth, the secret, the dream, if you are worthy and can endure it. And, of course, the nightmare, if you cannot.

Worshippers: Night mages, spies, thieves, and anyone with something to hide. Tieflings and dark elves are especially drawn to Rysh.Their followers believe that every secret whispered is carried directly to Rysh’s ears.

ortha, Goddess of Nature, Life, and Seasons

Ortha is the the untamed mother of the wild, gentle yet relentless. She's life itself, but does not give life; she lets it flourish. But if you cross her, she will remind you that nature has no mercy.

Worshippers: Druids, farmers, rangers, and beastkin. Gnomes practically worship the ground she walks on.Ortha's temples change appearance with the seasons, with the winter versions often being the most breathtaking.

Veron, God of Water, Change, and Destiny

Veron is the chill yet unpredictable god of tides. He believes change is inevitable, Think of him as the unavoidable current pulling you toward your destiny - whether you fight it or let it carry you. To him, all things are inevitable.

Worshippers: Sailors, traders, and fortune-tellers. Merfolk and water genasi have a deep connection to Veron.He's known for “destiny pools”: sacred lakes where people try to glimpse their futures.

Byrean, Goddess of Fire, Craftsmanship, and War

Byrean is fierce, passionate, and a little rough around the edges. She's the warrior-goddess who revels in mortal pleasures for fun - all about living in the moment, experiencing everything, and moving on when the fire burns out.

Worshippers: Blacksmiths, warriors, and artisans. Dwarves and dragonborn are big fans.Her followers forge weapons in sacred fires, claiming the flames carry her blessing.

Ashta, Goddess of Mana's Threads

Ashta is the keeper of the invisible threads that connect magic to the world. She is power itself. To seek her favor is to seek understanding of the forces that shape existence. To defy her is to risk unraveling the very fabric of your reality itself.

Worshippers: High mages, scholars, and anyone obsessed with understanding magic. Elves, particularly high elves, are drawn to her wisdom.Her shrines are simple, often just glowing mana crystals suspended in midair.

Serak, God of Death, Pain, and endings

Serak is the calm yet chilling god of death, pain, and endings. He is neither cruel nor kind, only patient, treating pain as a lesson and the end of life as a natural part of a cycle. He does not chase or take early. He waits. Always watching, always knowing.

Worshippers: Assassins, and those seeking peace or closure. Tieflings and dark elves often revere him.His followers believe in “soul crossings”, sacred rituals to guide spirits into the afterlife, ensuring they don’t linger and disrupt the balance.

The four Rulers of the hells

Rathos, Power, Ambition, Betrayal

Rathos is a ruler in every sense. He is the hunger for more: more power, more land, more control. He loves a good deal and will give you the power you crave, if you can stomach the price. If you manage to climb to the top? He will be waiting, smiling, reminding you he was always one step ahead.

⋆ Who seeks pacts: Anyone hungry for power - rulers, warlords, and shady nobles.Rathos thrives on backstabbing. He rewards ruthlessness, punishes weakness, and watches with amusement as his followers tear each other apart for his favor.

Myrta, Fear, Lies, Madness

Myrta is your worst nightmare. Literally. She does not kill, but feeds off fear and chaos, often targeting the vulnerable and desperate. She plants the doubt, feeds the paranoia, whispers the lie that festers into madness. And once you break? She will cradle you lovingly.

⋆ Who seeks pacts: People drowning in fear or those who want to weaponize lies, like cult leaders and shadowy political figures.Her gifts sometimes come with hallucinations, both terrifying and alluring, that blur reality.

Zyreth, Destruction, Chaos, Passion

Zyreth is a force of pure chaos. He’s wild and lives for the thrill of tearing things down to rebuild them differently. And yet, he is also a being of allure and intoxicating unpredictability. He will ruin you, and you will thank him for it. Because he is chaos itself, and you cannot look away.

⋆ Who seeks pacts: Revolutionaries, arsonists, and anyone with nothing to lose.His pacts are explosive, often giving his followers raw destructive power that’s almost impossible to control.

Sithil, Gluttony, Control, Obsession

Sithil is the Lord of Excess. He thrives on people overindulging, whether it’s wealth, food, or even love. He always, always wants more. His love is obsession. His mercy is enslavement. And if he desires you? You are already his.

⋆ Who seeks pacts: Greedy merchants, obsessive lovers, and anyone who can’t say no to their desires.Sithil's gifts often chain the recipient to their obsession, driving them to ruin if they’re not careful.

The four Lords & Lady of the layers of hell

The hells are a multi-layered realm ruled by the Hell Lords and Lady, each presiding over their own domain. These layers reflect their ruler’s essence, shaping the landscape and its inhabitants. Lesser devils, fiends, and cursed souls populate the Hells, serving their masters or suffering their wrath.No mortal enters the Hells without purpose: to make a pact, pay a debt, or fulfill a curse. Those who dare to seek power here often find the cost is their soul... or worse.

A harsh and imposing land dominated by ambition and control. The air is suffocatingly heavy with the scent of molten metal and burning ambition, as though the realm itself is forged from raw determination and betrayal.

Endless spires of black iron stretch into the skies, connected by dangling chains that clank ominously. The ground is cracked hellstone, with molten veins of orange and gold. Mechanized constructs roam the land, endlessly building and reinforcing the spires.

Shadows and mists shift unnaturally, revealing glimpses of horrors that aren’t truly there. Or perhaps they are.

A jagged and hilly, shadowy expanse of twisted forests, endless swamps, and fungi with thick, glowing mists of pink and purple. The ground is covered in pools of liquid, and reflections in them sometimes show distorted, haunting images - memories of haunted souls.

The landscape is filled with rivers of molten chaos an fire, jagged cliffs, shattered terrain, and ever-burning scarlet and green flames. Storms of black fire streak the skies, occasionally dripping black liquid that hisses and dissipates on impact. Structures rise and crumble unpredictably, caught in the flux of chaos.

Manor of Greed: Sithil's stronghold

The wasteland is filled with enormous, rotting flora, endless, decaying banquet halls, and pulsating caverns filled with writhing masses of flesh. Rivers of sickly-sweet nectar flow alongside streams of black tar, feeding into a massive, gaping chasm known as “The Maw.”

Mana in Iorvala

Mana is the lifeblood of magic in Iorvala. It’s a raw, intangible energy that flows through the world , connecting all living things. For some, it’s a gift tied to their very soul. For others, it’s a resource earned through pacts, blessings, or artifacts.

Ways Mana is obtained

⋆ Born with It

Some people are born with a natural affinity for mana, as if it’s woven into their soul. These individuals can sense and manipulate it instinctively, making them powerful sorcerers. Species like elves and tieflings often have a higher chance of being naturally gifted, but anyone can be born with this connection.

⋆ mana through worship

Worshipping gods like Ashta or other deities tied to magic can grant mana to the devout. Clerics, priests, and paladins often channel divine mana as a reward for their faith and service.The strength of this mana depends on the depth of the worshipper’s connection to their god.

⋆ Enchanted Weapons and Items

Mana can be stored in objects, like enchanted weapons, crystals, or talismans. These items allow people without innate magic to wield its power.These items can be rare and expensive, often requiring skilled mages or artificers to create and maintain them. Overuse can deplete the mana stored in them.

⋆ Infernal Pacts

Making a pact with a devil (like Rathos or Zyreth) is a risky but tempting way to gain access to mana. Infernal mana is potent but often comes at a cost, such as your freedom, soul, or even your sanity. Sometimes it can even change your appearance.This mana is powerful, chaotic, and often tailored to the pact-maker’s desires, like destructive flames or illusory trickery.

* Mana isn’t Infinite: Even those born with it can exhaust their reserves if they push themselves too hard. Replenishing mana requires rest, meditation, or access to mana-rich environments.

❝Oh, dear, I don’t destroy. I redefine❞

⋆ BACKSTORY ⋆
Zyreth was forged from primordial chaos, a being born of destruction and unpredictability before the gods brought order to the world. While the other Hell Rulers seek power through fear or control, Zyreth enjoys chaos as an art form. For eons, he’s offered mortals the freedom they crave through pacts, only to watch them crumble beneath the weight of their desires. Their passion, failure, and ruin fuel him. To Zyreth, destruction isn’t the end, but the beginning of something beautifully untamed.
