Welcome to the Aventyr Campaign Setting
Aventyr is a world of wonder, wilderness, and consequence—where nature breathes with divine purpose, ancient grudges stir beneath the surface, and even the smallest choice can shape the future.
From the frozen fjords of Rybalka to the sprawling fungal caverns of the Underworld, Aventyr offers a fully-developed setting filled with rich lore, political tension, and supernatural mystery.
Whether you’re exploring the frigid north in The Red Tree of Grudges, or descending into darkness in Rise of the Drow, your adventures begin in a world built for immersive storytelling and high-stakes decisions.
A World of Wilderness, War, and Wonder
Aventyr is not a land of endless kingdoms—it’s a place where civilization clings to survival amidst sprawling forests, unforgiving tundras, and ancient ruins from forgotten ages. Magic pulses through the earth, the stars, and the soul. Powerful deities walk unseen, shaping nature, death, and destiny.
Explore Aventyr’s key regions:
- Rybalka & the Vikmordere Valley – A cold frontier steeped in ancestral rites, home to warring clans and imperial expansion
- The Shadelands – A glowing fungal jungle deep below, teeming with strange life and powerful spores
- The Underworld – An ancient, deadly realm of drow cities, dwarven trade hubs, and soul-fueled magic
- The Scorched Lands & the Whispering Flats – Desolate regions scarred by divine wrath and the echoes of magical catastrophe
- Gateway to the Realm of the Gods – A mysterious celestial gate connecting Aventyr to other realms and planes of existence
