ETRURIA: WHERE GODS HAVE FALLEN

Five Kingdoms. Five Ancient Faiths. One Empire on the Brink.

=====================================================================================

At the far southwestern edge of the known world lies Etruria, a continent encircled by endless ocean and haunted by the memory of beings who once shaped its destiny. Today, five kingdoms stand beneath one imperial banner, ruled from the central capital by Emperor Cosimo of House Valenza. Yet unity is fragile, old rivalries are sharpening, and the truth of Etruria’s origins may be far more dangerous than its legends suggest.
=====================================================================================

Long ago, five immortal beings called the Caladriani tended Etruria like a garden. Cielo and Tancredi, twin brothers; Isotta and Fiammetta, sisters; and Zephiro, their brother, welcomed voyagers from across the ocean and helped them build prosperous homes. Humans, elves, half-elves, and dwarves flourished beneath their protection. Each Caladriani became the patron of a kingdom, and reverence grew into five faiths.

But even immortals were not beyond corruption. Pride, envy, and forbidden desire divided the siblings when Cielo fell in love with Aeloria, an elf cherished by Tancredi. Accusations became rebellion, and rebellion became the War of Caladriani. Meanwhile, Zephiro’s secret hunger for dominion led him to invoke Nichilunio, a mysterious lunar power of anti-creation. The ritual did not bring the salvation he expected. It unleashed Izuram, an immortal dragon whose flames devastated the continent.

When the Caladriani’s magic failed, Zephiro sacrificed himself to make Izuram mortal. The people of Marea then shattered their great dam, drowning the dragon in a catastrophic flood. They saved Etruria, but their homeland was broken into lagoons. In the aftermath, the surviving Caladriani united the kingdoms and chose Enzo Valenza, a loyal human, as the first emperor. Grief eventually took the immortals from the world—or so the stories say.
=====================================================================================

Now Etruria’s five kingdoms struggle beneath the shadow of that legacy. Brezza controls sea routes and foreign trade, guarding its navigational secrets under the vow-bound Faith of Isotta. The mineral-rich sister kingdoms of Gemmora and Filonia bleed each other in endless war for gold, silver, diamonds, and mithril. Marca Verde feeds the empire with extraordinary harvests, herbs, and medicinal plants. Neglected Marea survives through fishing and kelp, while the secluded Antenari—descendants of the Caladriani—keep their own counsel amid strange southern waters.

What truly happened to the Caladriani? Was Nichilunio defeated, or does it still whisper to those who seek forbidden power? Could Izuram’s death have left something buried beneath Marea’s flooded ruins? And why are old places beginning to stir?

In this roleplaying game, you choose your place in Etruria’s unfolding story. Be a wandering knight, a disgraced noble, a Brezzan sailor sworn to silence, a dwarf caught between rival crowns, a Marca Verde healer, or an Antenari guarding ancient secrets. Forge alliances, uncover lost history, navigate courtly intrigue, survive war, and decide whether Etruria’s future will repeat its past—or finally break its cycle.

The empire has endured gods, dragons, and betrayal. What it faces next may depend on you.

Choose a race from human, elf, half-elf, dwarf and Antenari. Gather your companions, choose what you believe, and remember: every legend in Etruria was once someone's own living truth. You have 2 choices of starting scenarios:

Scenario 1: Blood on the Northern Mountains
Best for: Playing a soldier, mercenary, wandering warrior, dwarf, scout, deserter, or adventurer caught between the two northern kingdoms.

Scenario 2: Write your own beginning.
