Following our first fully funded funded Kickstarter, Arclands: The Spellforgers Companion, Verse Online is proud to present the next chapter in the Arclands story:
Players journey into the Celestial Realm - once a paradise, now a world of frost-bound islands, mysterious ruins and memories of terrible conflicts between the children of a long dead god, the Graces.
A multitude of mortal peoples have settled here and built kingdoms in the sky, but powerful forces long to claim back the realm and restore Celestium to its former greatness. Players can choose from Four New Character Origins:
Suraian Lore Masters: Genius thinkers who know everything there is to know (but remembering it when it matters is a different matter altogether...)
Kairoi: Rabbit-like tricksters whose sense of smell and evasiveness make them skilled infiltrators and alchemists.
Atrushki: Stag-like warriors whose honour and prowess in battle are reknown.
Gnomi: Diminutive tinkerers and crafters who grow into snarling monsters when angry.
The Book of the Graces is 100% compatible with any other kind of 5th Edition Campaign as well as the Arclands World, so users can use it for both Arclands and any other Setting!
