What it is about

This game uses the Guided by Firelights system by Fari RPGs . This is a solo-journalling RPG, I may add co-op play rules but for now, I'm happy that I've finished something. This game explores three of my species in my worldbuilding project Drak'Arna: Orcs, Tritons, and Strixin - these peoples straddle both worlds of Earth and their respective elements (Fire, Water, and Air respectively). As adaptations and evolution are part of the history of Drak'Arna, there's a deep history I will be building, but these guys, in particular, stood out to me, because before this point - what was the afterlife seen as to these peoples? As Earth holds the domain of the underworld, what does that mean for these species who are now more 'earth-like'? So in this game, you explore a world, themed based on the element you choose, having been the first to die of your kind - your guardian has tasked you with opening six gates to the Underworld so that going forward, no one will be unable to pass on. As you explore the realms where your element and Earth meet and mix, you'll run into some trouble as the Titans of Earth defend their realm. This game is formatted to be printed and tri-folded. There are three files so you can choose which character you wish to play. The differences are their flavor text, regions list, and Warden difficulties. V 1.5 updates the file with logo branding, no change in gameplay mechanics. Editions with Open Dyslexia font now available too.
