Look no further if you are looking for a Campaign World to run your Fantasy game in. The World of Bethica has all you need.

The Legend

The gods, it seemed, were not infallible, and even as their failures rendered the world they governed a barren wasteland, they continued to argue and assign blame for its destruction on others. And with no agreement or compromise in sight, it seemed that the gods were destined to go their own way.

But Raziel made one last plea. They could learn from their mistakes. They could reach the full potential of godhood. They could rule in peace and harmony. And so they found a new world. Bethica.
The races of Bethica were young, easy to influence, and easy to control. Soon the fledgling races adopted new faiths and followed the god of their choice. But over the centuries that passed, Raziel saw the old patterns emerging. Each religion believed its path to be the only true one, and soon the same frictions and fractures could be seen emerging. War amongst the mortal races seemed imminent.

The gods pondered the problem for decades. Then, Amriel suggested the solution in a rare moment of clear-headedness and co-operation. Any war between the faiths would be strongly discouraged if not forbidden. The true path would present itself through philosophy and thought, not war and bloodshed. It was a vague compromise. One that is constantly tested. But it is the status quo of where we find Bethica today.

The Lore

Bethica is a planet far from our world, though it feels as though its people share the thoughts and technology of our medieval era. It is a land of many races beyond the dominant Volari and a place of strange vistas, breathtaking beauty, harsh wildernesses, and shining cities.

Although the Volari seems the de facto seat of authority, it is only through their numbers that they seem the dominant race. In reality, away from the "twelve, rose-red cities, as old as time", there are nine other empires, separate cultures and races all jostling for power and position.

Bethica is a unique world. It is a beguiling world. It is a dangerous world. It is a world of adventure and opportunity. It is your world. Welcome...

16 Maps | 4 Land Masses | 10 Territories | 20 Cities | 15 Towns | Varies Villages (Named and Unnamed) | 4 Islands | Oceans, Seas, & Lakes | 8 Lands & Mountains | 7 Forest & Woods | 5 Ruins & Towers 10 Native Races | 14 Deities | 16 Major Adventuring Companies | 7 Major Merchant Guilds | 5 Major Criminal Organizations | 9 Factions

I have to say this world setting is awesome, so much detail and maps are great.

I've been using it for a while but now that it's on FORGE it's a lot easier to update. I'm part of the discord server and any questions Warren is very fast to answer. Highly suggest anyone that wants well done world with races and towns maps etc, check this out.

I've been playing in this setting for some time now and it's really well put together. Yes, the custom races and their place in the world is nice to see. And the maps and people we meet are always interesting and fun.

Having joined wrandalljr4's Bethica server, where you can see his content play out, I can say that I recommend his content.

I have fun with the new races, homebrew classes, and setting. If you're ever having doubts, you can just join his server and play around with what he's offering to see if it's what you're looking for. You can also ask wrandalljr4 himself in the discord as he's very friendly and helpful. His discord link is in his post in case you missed it.

Thanks for having me and putting up with me, Warren!

Don't take this as a complaint but maybe a suggestion. In your discription you state what I have highlighted in bold below. I do see in Catagories you list Categories: Unlisted Product, 5E Compatible.


Description

Look no further if you are looking for a Campaign World to run your Fantasy game in. The World of Bethica has all you need. The World of Bethica is designed to use with any fantasy Role-Playing Game System.

Is there any way you could open this up so other systems such as 2E, OSE or other systems used in FG could access the module without having to use the extension that allows the use of all extensions? I love what you have added here and would hope it could be used with other systems.

Thanks for your time

Hello

Thank you for liking the system. Maybe I did not design it properly, but I figured and FG rules set would be able to open and us it. I guess I never tested it. But I will look into it.

In the definition.xml file you can specify additional rulesets
Put each one in its own line

The graphics on these monsters you just put out are freaking awesome. I also love the special things they can do, very detailed.
