Heretic of The Seventh Circle
Well, Okay, several folks have expressed curiosity about this project when I've talked about it in various threads, so I want to compile information about it, post here, and eventually post links to playtest documents and the like, as well.
I'll make a couple top posts so it's easy tokeep it organized.
This post is for links and overview.
Basic Premise (What is Chevar, and Why You Should Quest For It)
Elevator Pitch: Optimistic Hidden Worlds modern-day fantasy where secret societies work for their own ends, entropic monsters haunt the borders between worlds, where a troll investigator, a human alchemist, a were-fox warlock, and an alfar champion of the norse god Frey, can all stand together to protect regular folk from the darkness beyond reality.
Just about every creature in folklore exists, magic is real, there are 9 Realms, and 90% or more of the human population has no idea about any of it. All Realms exist within the boughs and roots of the great tree Yggdrasil, the First World, and within every world exists Crossroads. Crossroads connect realms, but require knowledge to access. Every realm has crossroads between itself and the world of Chevar, sometimes called the Ninth World, which is separate from the other worlds but also exists within them. This means that Chevar has always been a place where knowledge and treasures from all the other worlds has been gathered and hidden, and occasionally a battleground between other worlds.
