Our adventures are set in the World of Faelon - a world of great beauty and great danger, of politics and religion, intrigue and honor, people and power, magic and mystery.
More than a dozen factions strive for domination and survival across Faelon’s two known continents. Strange creatures move along the fault lines of civilization - some from a past that never passed out of reckoning, some from portals between Faelon and Mervael, the Spirit World, and some from Faelon’s heavens and hells.
The gods have sundered Faelon’s magic in twain - Casters are divided between spells that influence the inorganic and inanimate and those that influence creatures both living and recently alive. Only an immortal may learn the secrets of both, leading some to seek immortality through pacts with abominations.
Above all, Faelon is the story of its people - resonant characters who seek power and peril each in their own way against a backdrop that is as full of life as it is fraught with menace.
Come join us in Faelon.
The World of Faelon is housed in World Anvil - all the basic details are available free here: World of Faelon in World Anvil
Want more? The following expanded levels of access are available. IMPORTANT NOTE: to gain expanded access, you will need to first create a World Anvil account.
- Bladesworn tier - $3/month – This tier gives you access to a layer of articles and maps beyond the basic faction and country descriptions in the material you see at the free level. Each month we will add detail that expands Faelon with the kinds of things someone who grew up there would know. What does the flora and fauna look like? What is each city famous for? What do they trade? Who are the famous people? These articles can inspire BrightSword role-players as well as Freeblades players to create meaningful backstories and connect their characters to the World of Faelon. This is also the level where the BrightSword rules themselves will be expanded with a focus on the player: new Blended Paths, weapons, items, talents, skills and so much more!

- Loremaster tier- $9/month – This tier gives you access to everything in the lower tiers and adds a series of campaigns and modules that can either be used off the shelf, or just to inspire the reader with ideas for their own adventures. Detailed maps, secret knowledge, NPC statistics, magic items, and new creatures will all be available to surprise your players with. Your players will know about the towns, but you will know about the suburbs, inns, secret societies, and hidden treasures. Your players will have heard about the monster in the lake - you will know its name. You can also expect articles on running RPG sessions for your players. The campaigns are fully compatible with both Brightsword and Freeblades.
