 AN OVERVIEW OF
THE SYSTEM
The League of Magics campaign setting takes place
in the System. A collection of space-faring races live
on the various moons and planets within what we
know as the Solar System. This setting mixes and
blends the ideas of traditional fantasy with our real-
world solar system and science fiction elements.
Unlike other settings, the worlds of the League of
Magics are not planets, but satellites of gas giants.
This can raise interesting questions about certain
roles the moons play for many creatures, species,
curses, or magical diseases.
EARTH
The passing comet sails into the System at millions of miles per
hour, passing by the first hospitable planet, closest to the
burning ball of hydrogen. Earth, the pale blue dot, hosts a race of
ingenuity, unity, and exploration. A race of nonmagical people
conquering their own domain through technology and sheer
force of will.
This Earth is nearly identical to our own world, with an
altered timeline, resulting in a familiar yet different
human civilization. The Earth humans are united in the
expansion of their people to new worlds and learning
more about the fantastical lands before them. Humans
are known in the System for their lack of ability to
harness magic, instead relying on strange mechanical
behemoths to traverse the System in lieu of magically
imbued space-faring vessels.
They also have an array of unique equipment only
available to humans called the Earthen Armory.
Humans are unique for their inventions of firearms and
various other military equipment. The Earth human
civilizations in this setting take on a retro futurist
aesthetic with a modern and progressive cultural
stance. While concepts such as racism and sexism exist
within all cultures, Earth human culture has
significantly advanced forward as compared to our
own timeline.
THE LEAGUE OF MAGICS

GANYA
As the comet feels the pull of Sol lessen, another massive force
tugs at it. The planet Jupiter, or Apex, looms large next to it. The
birthplace of dwarves, humans, halflings, dragons, and more, it is
also the home of elves and their expansive and diverse empire. It
is a world that has suffered through eons of war and timidly waits
in its quiet peace.
Ganya is the largest moon of Jupiter, Ganymede. This
land is highly resistant to human interference, and it
maintains many of the traditional fantasy setting
tropes. There are various kingdoms and warring
nations, filled with vast untamed lands that no one
dares to spend too long in. Most humanoid races, such
as dwarves, elves, gnomes, and halflings, can be found
on this world.
You will also find a more traditional human-like race
called Myrenceans. They are identical to humans from
Earth, but have the ability to harness magic. Most
people on Ganya find humans from Earth to be ill-
omens due to their lack of magic. In addition, humans
from Earth are magically marked with a tattoo that
covers a part of their face when they enter Ganya’s
atmosphere. People of Ganya believe this is the planet
marking the “Unmagik’d.”
TITAN
The comet reaches the next world, Titan, outside of the
dangerous asteroid belt. This habitable moon of the massive
planet Saturn, or Mother, brims with life and culture. It is the land
of the beasts which opened their mighty paws, hooves, and
wings for the new arrival of Earth humans. This world has seen
the devastation of war, as well as the constructive nature of
friendships and alliances.
Titan is Saturn's moon of the same name. It is vastly
different from Ganya in its racial makeup and
relationship with humans. Titan is home to the many
bestial and elemental races of the System. Much of the
world is ruled over by the four Ancient Races:
minotaurs, centaurs, gryffons, and lodantes. Other
races such as torts & turts, elementally suffused,
serpens, and triton also exist here in the tropical
regions of the Serpent’s Maw.
The lodantes of Mokandu have built a strong
relationship with Earth humans, working together to
create incredible works of arcana-mechanical devices.
As the comet sails past the last known world to hold life, Spes
Nova can be seen. As the sun comes over the world, the snowy
tops of the mountains that litter the occurring surface glisten.
Just as the world is leaving view, a small dash of green becomes
visible. It is a land of new hope for a race of people created solely
for war.

Whuzar truly was. A being born from pain and
trauma by a servant loyal to the Void. Torn between
the violent ends of the Void and the loving
tenderness of the Sorcerers, Whuzar war destined
for a mind split in two, creating one of pure
madness.
Though able to be contained by his mother’s love
for a time, Whuzar’s instability and destructive
nature forced the Sorcerers to exile him from their
ranks shortly after the creation of the First Kind.
While not inherently evil, Whuzar’s domain of
madness is an immense source of power and magic.
Some warlocks swear pacts to all forms of chaos that
trace their origins back to Whuzar, while some
monks of the Yellow Robes have harnessed the
power of madness to inflict upon their enemies.

ROGUE SORCERERS
While many of the Sorcerers were building the
beautiful creations we have today, some had more
twisted machinations, wishing to make a mockery of
theirs sibling’s creations. These Sorcerers are
viewed as evil and are worshiped by disparate cults
or power-hungry madmen and mages.

 KRONOS, THE FIRST BETRAYAL
After the Sorcerers failed in their first attempt at
creating life on Ganya, they took time to craft a new
species, the elves, on the Feywild. When they were
done maturing after two generations, the Sorcerers
brought them to Ganya, and began to create new
species such as the dwarves, humans, gnomes, and
more. But one Sorcerer despised the direction his
brothers and sisters were taking with their
creations. He found them weak, feeble, and prone
to domination from anything stronger.
Hidden from the gaze of Apex’s Eye, Kronos struck
a deal with the lord of the Many Hells, Asmodeus.
He based his creation of the fiery devils of the hells,
and used the Spark of Hellfire to imbue them with
Asmodeus’ gift. He called these baleful creations,
Tieflings, and wished to spread them across Ganya
to dominate and rule over the other Sorcerer’s
“lesser creations”.
Once Kronos created his first generation, and
seeded them on to Ganya, the other Sorcerers exiled
him from their world, and from the Divine
Observation Deck, leaving him to wander the
universe alone. He fled to the world Ganyans call
Kronos, or Pluto to Earth Humans. Seldom seen, and
rarely documented are beings known as the
Kronations, the second creation of Kronos. These
beings are bipedal insectoid creatures with
advanced alien technologies and protective
carapaces that cover their bodies. Cultists and
worshipers of Kronos pray for his return to claim
Ganya under his rule and abolish the remaining
Greater Sorcerers.
ONRUMILLAI, THE INEVITABLE END
Even more enigmatic than Laozed, the Cavern
Lord is Onrumillai, the Inevitable End. This being
remains a mystery to even the most knowledgeable
mages and time-tested elvish scholars. Records of
seeing this being date as far back as written records
can attest, and even oral records before them speak
of this alien entity.
A common description of Onrumillai includes a
swirling mass of what appears to be pure blackness,
pulling people toward it by its sheer force of will. All
light in the area becomes darkness, absorbed and
consumed by the being. Those who come to
experience Onrumillai’s presence are soon
overcome with a since of despair, nihilism, and
hopelessness.
Over the centuries, cults have formed around this
belief of hopelessness, that the world and universe
will ultimately end in a whimper, and that any
actions taken in life are meaningless in the totality of
the universe.
THE LEAGUE OF MAGICS

VANICE, THE FIRST ASCENT
During the time when elves were still within the
feywild, a collection of the earliest mages began
extensive research into the plane of magic that they
were connected to. They were the founders of some
of the earliest schools of magic such as Evocation,
Abjuration, and Illusion and called themselves the
Mystrian Collective.
One of these mages, named Vanice, delved deep
into the capabilities of the necromancy. At first this
did not concern many of the others within the
collective as his discoveries lead to some of the
earliest healing magics, and was even capable of
raising the recently deceased back to life. Some
argued the strength of its offensive capabilities were
a danger, but others contested the evocation magic
held just as much destructive force.
With his studies left unchecked, Vanice soon
became enthralled with the darker side of this newly
formed school of magic. He began raising older
corpses found buried in the ground to use as his
servants, and soon had abandoned bringing people
to life, instead only using his magics to bring back
people as his thralls or minions. By the time the
Greater Sorcerers were ready to move their creations
to the Material Plane, Vanice had amassed enough
necrotic energy to forge a Dark Shard of Divinity, a
shard of pure necrotic magic that could instill
permanent undeath upon himself, creating a dark
reflection of divinity.
The Sorcerers at the time refused to allow such a
being into their ranks or to rule over their newly
reforged world. They instead banished him to the
Plane of Shadow, opposite of the Feywild, in hopes
of containing him.
In the thousands of years since this time, Vanice
has amassed his own domain on the Plane of
Shadow. Those who study deep enough into
necromantic magics can find his whispers reaching
their minds and subtly influencing their actions. It
leads them toward a path of undeath supremacy,
and ultimately working towards Vanice’s plans.
MADNESS
In a typical campaign, characters aren’t driven mad
by the horrors they face and the carnage they inflict
day after day, but sometimes the stress of being an
adventurer can be too much to bear. If your
campaign has a strong horror theme, you might
want to use madness as a way to reinforce that
theme, emphasizing the extraordinarily horrific
nature of the threats the adventurers face.

GOING MAD CURING MADNESS

Various magical effects can inflict madness on an
otherwise stable mind. Certain spells, such as
contact other plane and symbol, can cause insanity,
and you can use the madness rules here instead of
the spell effects of those spells. Diseases, poisons,
and planar effects such as psychic wind or the
howling winds of Pandemonium can all inflict
madness. Some artifacts can also break the psyche
of a character who uses or becomes attuned to
them.
Resisting a madness-inducing effect usually requires
a Wisdom or Charisma saving throw.
MADNESS EFFECTS
Madness can be short-term, long-term, or indefinite.
Most relatively mundane effects impose short-term
madness, which lasts for just a few minutes. More
horrific effects or cumulative effects can result in
long-term or indefinite madness.
A calm emotions spell can suppress the effects of
madness, while a lesser restoration spell can rid a
character of a short-term or long-term madness.
Depending on the source of the madness, remove
curse or dispel evil might also prove effective.
A greater restoration spell or more powerful magic is
required to rid a character of indefinite madness.
MADNESS, EXPANDED
The following tables can be used whenever a
character is required to roll on the madness table.
The table includes options found in the Basic Rules,
as well as 90 new short-term madness 88 new long-
term madness options.
Subclasses and items later in this document will
reference short and long term madnesses. GM’s are
welcome to use this expanded table, or the one
found in the Basic Rules.

A character afflicted with short-term madness is

subjected to an effect from the Short-Term Madness
table for 1d10 minutes.

A character afflicted with long-term madness is

subjected to an effect from the Long-Term Madness
table for 1d10 × 10 hours.

A character afflicted with indefinite madness gains a

new character flaw from the Indefinite Madness
table that lasts until cured.

 LAMPAD
Lampads are typically seen as bad omens, but they
are a natural part of the process of death. Lampads
have been known to offer their services to Dyorra,
the Sorcerer of Death. She uses them to usher
powerful souls to the afterlife, or on occasion,
directly to her.
Lampads typically spend their existence within the
Shadowfell, the domain of Dyorra.
ABILITY SCORE INCREASES
When determining your character’s ability scores,
increase one score by 2 and increase a different
score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1.
Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to
determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy.
The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class
offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You
can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but
you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.
CREATURE TYPE
You are Fey. You are also considered a nymph for
any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a
nymph.
LANGUAGES
Your character can speak, read, and write Common
and one other language that you and your GM agree
is appropriate for the character. The Basic Rules and
this source offer a list of languages to choose from.
