DSA5 - Heroes of the Thorny Realm

Heroes of the Thorn Realm The fairytale cities of the Thorn Realm are home to phex-favoured merchants, astute astrologers and mysterious Qabalya sects who vie for power and influence at the court of the Lady of the Roses. Wealthy Arania, however, has to fend off numerous dangers. Ferkina tribes in the west of the kingdom are just as much a threat as the Novadian conquerors from the south. Beneath the surface, conspiracies of secret covens and alliances are fermenting, pursuing their own plans, and time and again the Aranians must confront the horrors of the past. This book introduces thirteen professions appropriate to the region, including the proud Baburin warrior women, the rahja- and rondra-loving Rose Knights, the cunning members of the Mada Basari merchant order, the mysterious Qabalya mages, the dazzling entertainers of the grey-magic School of Appearance in Zorgan and the highly respected Madjuna magical dancers. Also included are: - Focus rules for traits that add regional flavour to your heroes - New special skills, spells, liturgies and the matching wizard and consecrator traditions, - Talent combat, spell and liturgy styles and their associated advanced special skills, to equip your heroes with additional tricks - Magic dances and clothing spells for the Majunas dance robe - A comprehensive armoury with new weapons and armour from the region, including the Anchopal Silver Star, the Elburum Thorn Fan, the Palmyran Jadra, various murder tools of the Oronian Belkelelan worshippers, the Baburian Mirror Armour, Crow's Feet and the sacred Korspike Jadra alZul.
