What is Aevum?
Aevum, the Eternal Realm, is a world shaped by centuries of conquest, faith, and forgotten gods. Its empires and myths draw from the echoes of our own civilizations.
A World of High Fantasy and Ancient Gods
In Aevum, mortals and gods coexist, their lives entwined through devotion, conflict, and destiny. At its heart stands a pantheon of ancient deities who guide or torment the realms that worship them. From imperial palaces to jungle sanctuaries, every corner of Aevum bears the mark of divine presence. The relationship between mortals and gods shapes its history, its politics, and the struggles of its people.
Faith and Power
In Aevum, the divine is not distant. Every spell, blessing, and ward draws on the lifeforce of the gods who shaped the world. Mortals channel this power through devotion, pledging themselves to patron deities who answer prayer with strength and demand reverence in return. To call on a god is to borrow a fragment of their essence, binding the caster to the divine cycle that sustains all life. When faith wanes, the bond between mortal and divine weakens and the world grows quiet. When faith burns bright, miracles move through creation and the gods’ presence can be felt in every breath of the realm.
A World of Civilizations
Explore the diverse cultures that give this world its depth, each with its own history, traditions, and bond with the divine. A few among many:
The Aevites: Once known by another name now lost to time, they renamed themselves after Aevum itself to affirm their claim of destiny. Their empire is built on discipline, grandeur, and ambition. Towering cities, intricate politics, and a formidable military define their rule.
The Helmic: A proud and artistic people devoted to philosophy, heroism, and the worship of their gods. Their city-states and legendary warriors embody their ideals.
The Dryws: Mystics bound to the natural world, protectors of the old ways. Their sacred connection to the earth and their gods shapes every aspect of life, with Taulica standing as the heart of their tradition.
The Tanebari: Masters of the desert who embrace the wisdom of the sands and the eternal cycle of life and death. Their monuments and soul-preserving rites reflect a devotion to eternity.
The Ioxerial: Jungle dwellers who honor their gods through elaborate rituals. Their spiritual power and mysticism blur the line between nature and faith. Outsiders rarely venture far into their hidden cities.
The Mariners: Rulers of the waves and masters of trade. Their fleets bind distant shores, guided by divine favor across perilous seas.
These cultures represent only a glimpse of the many civilizations that shape Aevum, each with its own history, struggle, and divine bond.
