Leave your mark upon the Shattered Empires!
Arcanis is a world of high fantasy, intrigue, and suspense. Diplomacy, skill, and discretion will carry you as far or farther than skill at arms or in the arts of magic. Heroes come in a myriad of forms. Some are fantastic beings born with the blood of Valinor or the souls of elementals. Others are the descendants of Celestial Giants who once roamed the stars as freely as a fish swims the sea. Many of the greatest heroes of Arcanis are simply mortals of mundane blood but lofty ideals. It is a world of heroes who stand between the common folk and destruction. You can be that hero. The power is in your hands; leave your mark upon the Shattered Empires!
This book is a comprehensive guide to making an endless variety of adventurers native to Arcanis. All facets of character development are explored, from national and religious viewpoints to the basic building blocks of character creation: names, races, classes, skills, feats, prestige classes, spells, and equipment.

The benighted nation in the north of Onara, Canceri, is a nation of contrasts. Its urbane and cultured priesthood practices the most brutal rites of sacrifice and worship in modern Arcanis. Necropoli stand in perfect repair as the homes of the living decay in ruin. Brutal slavery is the law of the land, yet every soul: priest, noble or common holds the right to ultimate ascension. In all things, wickedness is the norm. Virtue is weakness, and paradise awaits those that embrace their baser nature.
Unlock the secrets of Nishanpur; its locales and NPCs. Plus an RPGA Living Arcanis compatible campaign.
It is Like the End of the World
Turmoil grips the lands of Onara. It is the end of an era, and a dawn of a new age. It is an age of struggle against the end of existence; an age which shall witness the rise of history’s greatest champions. Will Arcanis pass into nothingness, or shall her heroes raise her up to new heights?
The Elorii look into the divining pools of the Elluwe’ as they roil with blood and know that the end times prophesied so many centuries ago are now upon us. Emerging from their forest sanctuary, they wonder if humanity can indeed weather the storm of Silence. Each of the Shattered Empires struggles to survive. In the north, the nation of Canceri buckles under the oppressive rule of the Theocracy - most pray for death, and the rest, for deliverance. Enemies gather round the proud nation of Milandir, each one eager to pull down its bright towers and humble its defenders. Fear gnaws at Milandir's people, and they begin to lose hope. To the south, the once mighty Coryani Empire sleeps under an indifferent ruler, while its greatest general bides his time, waiting to seize the throne for his own noble house. The Imperial Court looks on like a flock of carrion crows, ready to pick apart the corpse of the land. The nascent Serpent Empire stirs with renewed vigor, the Serpent Kings no longer content to set his own subjects against one another, and instead looks to the destruction of the children of Althares.
In the Shadow of the Devil is the second adventure in the Coryani Chronicles, a series of adventures that focus on the Romanesque Coryani Empire. (Levels 6-8)
For more than ten centuries, the men of the sealed lands have lived either crushed by the tyranny of infernal masters or in constant war with demonic hordes. That time, the twilight of the Time of Terror, a tremendous mountain range erupted from the earth and trapped the hordes of Hell. On that day the God Illiir chose his val'Assante children and their fledgling empire above all others.
Now the covenant forged between the First Emperor of Coryan and the God Illiir has been broken and the wall is impassible no more. Once again the hordes of hell and their descendants are free to roam the world of men. But the greatest risk to Illiir's children may not lie with the armies of the Infernal, but with those men forsaken that day when an Emperor died and an Empire was born.

I Think, Therefore You Die
In the end times, a Silent enemy will arise, and in its wake it shall bring oblivion. This the Gods of Man have seen, and this the Other has told to the Goddess Belisarda. Knowing this, the Gods of Men commanded their vassals, the noble Valinor, to infuse the favored bloodlines of man with the very power of divinity. This peculiar magic of divine beings is called Psionics, and so armed the children of men shall arise to defend Arcanis for defeat brings with it the end of all things.
Whereas wielders of magic rely upon careful ritual and the fundamental properties of matter to work their miracles and tricks, a Psion commands the very power of creation through sheer force of will. No obstacle can withstand the focused power of thought from a gifted and trained mind. Within this stout volume, the secrets of Psionics are laid bare for all to see.
Honed by five years of vigorous play testing in the Living Arcanis campaign, one of the world’s largest interactive roleplaying environments, Psionics Unbound refines the Psionics rules for Third Edition Fantasy Roleplaying. Psionics Unbound is a complete rulebook, no other Psionics rules are required for use in any campaign, Arcanis or otherwise.
Why Settle for a Serpent Kingdom When You Can Have an Empire?
The Ssethric peoples once extended their influence from horizon to horizon; they were masters of all they surveyed. From atop the coiled throne of Yahssremore, in what is now the Blessed Lands, they enslaved or exterminated numerous lesser races during millennia of slaughter. This dominance was squandered by arrogance and centuries of decadence, however, and the reptiles found themselves fleeing for their lives, into the swamps and jungles of the south. Now, in the fetid marshes of the Kraldjur Morass live the debased offspring of the once-vast Ssethregoran Empire. Fighting constant wars against the Elorii of Malfelen and the Altherian Republic, these scaly horrors seek to return to their rightful place as the overlords of Onara.
Within these pages you will find:
* The history of the greatest Empire in the history of Onara ? including secrets about the world of Arcanis that warm-bloods were never meant to know
* A horde of monstrous reptilian adversaries such as the stealthy Hylis, aquatic Pleisaurans, cunning Ssanu, and full details on the savage Ss?ressen Egg Clutches
* Details on Ssethregoran technomancy, the unique living magical technology of the Empire
* Extensive geographic information about the harsh environments in which the Ssethric peoples dwell, from tropical rainforests to murky swamps and the mysterious underground caverns known as the Lavender Way
* New spells that the scaled horrors use to slay their human and Elorii enemies, such as bolts of reckoning and detonating rain
* A complete Ssethric pantheon of ancient and terrible Gods, including Kassegore the Eater of Souls, Yig the Life-Bringer, and Jeggal Sag the Lord of Drakes
* More than 50 new serpent-worthy feats, such as Blinding Spittle, Furious Charge, and Rending Talons, including feats that even the soft and weak humans might find useful
* 15 new prestige classes, like the Chaoshammer of Zedok, the Order of the Iridescent Scale, and the dreaded Ssethric Inquisitor
* Information about Ssethregoran culture, politics, and society, including a new 20-level base class, the Sentinel of the Blazing Wyrm
If you are ready to take lizardfolk and other scalykind beyond mere mindless reptilian brutes and turn them into the truly horrific menace they deserve to be, then this is the book for you!
