“The continent of Aurelion is one of plenty. The land provides an abundance of materials and fertile soil for the population to thrive. The magical Solar Lens provides light and protection from the horrors that lurk in the dark.
Natural disasters are not uncommon in Aurelion. Every 2-3 centuries an event known as the Scourge Incursion occurs. Its beginning is marked by the sea turning an inky black. When the Solar Lens casts an eerie red light, then the Incursion begins in earnest. Creatures of all shapes and sizes rise out of the Black Sea with seemingly only one goal: to kill as many living creatures as they can.”
Aurelion is a personal passion project started some years ago, focussed on creating a believable dark-fantasy setting for table-top RPGs and other creative endeavours. This has so far resulted in about 40,000 words of prose and lore, a FATE RPG one-shot that has been converted to two other RPG systems, and the creation of a TCG-style card game.
The multifaceted nature of the setting allow me to explore many different ideas with a solid foundation and I forsee that I will be referring back to it a lot for quite a while.
As an example, The Aurelion Compendium, a compilation of background lore written for the setting, which can be downloaded using the button to the left.
