Vila Songbird

Vila Songbird, Queen of Ultwe, is the most powerful chaos mage in the known world, a divine connection empowers her innate arcane power. Although she is the rightful queen, she faces a continuous battle with those who seek to claim the throne for themseles.

Vila is over three thousand years old, as child she was orphaned by those that wanted their throne. Forced to run from her attackers, and with no choice to turn to crime to survive the next ten years.

All this changed when she was chosen by a goddess to save the world, that diety also helped unlock her inner power. With that power she reclaimed her birth right and set the people of Ultwe free.

Class: Chaos Mage

Chaos MageAdventurer

A chaos mage is a spellcaster who has connection to the each of the elemental energies of the world, but this connection is wild and unpredictable. Chaos magic is a combination of the elemental forces, it manifests as a multicolour energy, with little resemblance of the base elemental forces, the damage it does is the same as one or more of the elemental forces, so will leave burn marks, electro charring, water damage or even signs of heavy impact.

Being close to a chaos mage can affect other spellcasters, they can unwittingly alter their elemental magic, discharge divine connections and disrupt arcane spells, as such they are often hated by other spellcasters. It is this that makes them a great way to take on enemy wizards or rogue priests, and are often sought out by parties for such a quest.

Attaxis

AttaxisChampion

Attaxis are chaos mages that have absolutely mastered control and state of mind, they are by nature incredibly rare, able to perfectly harness the elemental forces that were once wild. Every chaos mage will at some point reach a point where the power they unleash is too much, they will either die, horribly, possibly taking their allies with them, or perfect their magic and achieve order and control over chaos, able to chose which elemental and even meld them as they see fit.

Attaxis are so rare that the few that exist are often renown throughout the kingdom in which they reside, often beyond. At home in tall stone towers where they can keep to themselves and only grant access to those wealthy enough to deserve their council. It takes a lot to get an Attaxis to adventure, either world changing events or a huge payout.

Cryomancer*

CryomancerChampion

A Cryomancer is a hydromancer that has tapped into an alternative way to harness their mastery of hydro-elemental power, this power is not dark or evil, but it only ever manifests in those with some for of great personal trauma, it is more a manifestation of fear, rather than hatred or vengeance. Their abilities allow them to instantly freeze bodies of water, which includes their water based spells, hitting harder and offering greater protection.

Cryomancers are not limited to manipulating water then freezing it, they can expand existing ice, drawing the water required from the air just as a hydromancer does but its freezes as it does so. They can freeze any living thing by freezing the water within it, cause ice to form across any surface and turn rain to hail. Their staff is ice, which never appears to melt, formed over a silver core.

Hydromancer SummaryAdventurer

An hydromancer has a mastery of the elemental force of water that exists within the world, able to extract it, shape it and direct it as desired. As water is an inert element, hydromancers can use any form of tools, weapons and wear any clothing and armour, water is safe and is unlikely to cause accidental damage. Water can both bring life an take it away, mortal life cannot exist without it, but too much of it can be just as deadly.

Hydromancers can draw on the water that is around them, any body of water from stream to ocean, as water is readily available the majority of the time hydromancer have full access to their power. When this isn't possible, a flask or container can be opened, and in desperate times a hydromancer can pull the water out of plants and even living creatures.

ABOUT US

THE CONCEPTION

Terrainia started off in 2004 as a single island for a role-playing game (using a well-known and popular third edition rule set). This island became wonderfully detailed, players would recognise who they were dealing with when suitable miniatures (made by another well-known table-top games company) were placed on the table. But eventually the players finished the campaign, and managed to slay the dragon, or so they thought.

So with the campaign over, but the desire to continue burning ever bright, further areas were designed and planned, and over the course of five long but enjoyable years the world grew exponentially. At its peak of these five years there were six regular groups, around forty players, two dungeon masters, and a world as large as Earth drawn up and with huge levels of detail.

THE EVOLUTION

While that is where Terrainia was born, now twenty-two years on and the development hasn’t stopped, we began to construct this website in 2010 as a resource for our players to use. Then in 2020 (during the world wide pandemic), our founder took the opportunity to flesh out the world even more and add this to the website, during which thoughts turned to sharing Terrainia with the rest of the world.

It was at this time that the founder began to commission artists. Budgets were low, and it took time to find the right artists with the right style. But over the next few years, the main cast got made: the deities, the primary heroes and villains, then monsters. It was important for the founder that all artwork was theirs, monster design was theirs, and in turn, game systems were theirs — we did not want to copy or reproduce existing systems.

Along with the game world, contributors are writing novels and designing games, all set within Terrainia. At the time this page was last updated, there were no fewer than seven different games/books in production. Soon we will have links to these games/books for you to immerse yourselves within.

So that’s us. We hope you enjoy the site. If you want to give us some feedback, why not .

THE FUTURE

After this first wave of games and books, who knows? But one thing is for sure: there is plenty of material, and our aim will be to share this world with as many fantasy fans as possible.
