The Chronicles of Aeres is a third-party campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition created by Dueling Dragon Adventures and published in 2021. In its creator's own words, the setting is a love-letter to the Heroic Fantasy and High Fantasy books of the 80s, seeking to recapture their feel of more heroic, old-school fantasy.Aeres is a relatively young world, and the game itself is set several months after the draconic protector of Aeres, Saeyos the Silver Champion, was awakened by an unlikely team of heroes and led the forces of good to overthrow the evil powers arrayed behind the Dragon of Darkness. Adventurers now take a key role in rooting out the lingering agents of evil and helping to rebuild civilization, all fueled by the hope of a better tomorrow.In its corebook, its themes are summarized as: The Small vs. the Strong Magic vs. Ignorance The Noble Monster The Temptations of Honor | |

Dream Weaver | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_125a7a4e | comment |
Dream Weaver: The Dreamcaller class is an entire class who draws its power from a deep mystical bond with the dreamworld and its natural patterns of aether. Their powers include some minor illusion and mind-control spells, the ability to invoke certain archetypal nightmares, and the power to summon "Espers", which are manifesetd archetypes from the dreamworld. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Stygian Kobolds are literally Darker and Edgier kobolds with features more akin to crocodiles, predatory lizards, and snakes. They're even referred to as lizardfolk in-universe, due to their physical and social differences from their mystic kobold precursors. | |

Our Elves Are Different | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_15fc9fb | comment |
Our Elves Are Different: Silverleaf elves are fairly typical wood elves, largely concerned with protecting the forests. Twilight elves are more mystically inclined, being masters of illusion and naturally inclined to the path of the Dreamcaller. Both were created by the Immordran Ardrisyr. | |

Our Orcs Are Different: Orcs in Aeres are also known as "goblin kings"; they're goblins that have lived a long life and subsequently have grown from their original diminutive stature into larger, more powerful beings. They're still Dumb Muscle, but considerably smarter than their near-mindless goblin underlings. | |

Power at a Price | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: Being a Dreamcaller comes with a case of With Great Power Comes Great Insanity; having one's mind permanently attuned to the Dream Land comes at the price of being inherently out of step with reality. This is is restricted to flavor text rather than mechanics. | |

Stygian kobolds are literally characterized as "grim, brutish, aggressive, stoic and taciturn". Despite this, they are actually a race whose hat is "Good is Not Nice", being a warrior branch of the kobold family who have long dedicated themselves to battling goblins and other monsters. | |

| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_2ab73660 | comment |
Astreas is home to three Beast Man races of its own; Frog Men called Froskvir, Lizard Folk called Sliskvir and Bird People called Orinvir. All descend from human nations who were subjected to widespread Forced Transformations by the death-curse of the Mad God Drakmorla. | |

Frog Men | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_2df8760d | comment |
Frog Men: The froskvir are a race of people who were changed from humans into humanoid frogs by the Dying Curse of Drakmorla that inhabit the southern-most swamplands of Astreas. Unlike most Frog Men, they are characterized as a friendly, gentle-natured and wise people, who have embraced mysticism and spirituality in contrast to the animalistic bloodlust of the sliskvir or the arrogant aloofness of the orinvir. On the great pentacle of alignments in Astreas, the froskvir are even stated to represent the facet of Good, with the Atrathian humans being Neutralit, the Horg being Evil, the orinvir being Law and the Sliskvir being Chaos. | |

Uplifted Animal: The very first wilderkind were created by Tolgamyr taking ordinary animals and using his divine magic to grant them humanoid forms and sapience. Talking Animals were created in the same way, and are either animals that didn't want the whole package or a kind of Flawed Prototype. | |

Burn the Witch!: The human kingdom of Hesmoor still has a large number of people who hold onto unwarranted superstitions about witches and magic-users, often fueled by propaganda from the kingdom's cruel leaders. A group of brutal witchfinders scours the land hunting witches and magicians on a regular basis. | |

Always Chaotic Evil | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_4832a3bb | comment |
Always Chaotic Evil: Goblins are literally what is left behind when all of the goodness is magically wrung out of a gnome or a halfling. Zigzagged in that the book does acknowledge it is technically possible that you might encounter a good goblin or orc, but they would face so much prejudice that they would be practically unplayable. The Drauglir gnomes basically exist as a way to play a "good goblin". The Horg from Astreas are basically goblins with the forms of beastmen; they were humans, before the Mad God Drakmorla shattered their minds and ate their souls whilst warping their bodies into half-man, half-beast monsters. They are so dependent on her to function that when she is killed, they all instantly turn to stone. | |

Dark Is Not Evil | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: Despite the presence of evil in the world at large, few humanoid races are totally irredeemable, and thus even some races with very sinister appearances can be found on the side of good. Stygian kobolds are literally characterized as "grim, brutish, aggressive, stoic and taciturn". Despite this, they are actually a race whose hat is "Good is Not Nice", being a warrior branch of the kobold family who have long dedicated themselves to battling goblins and other monsters. Drauglir are gnomes who foolishly served the evil Vulgraks during the Great War, which resulted in them being so warped they now look like goblins. Having been tricked rather than willfully evil, they have turned their backs on the powers of evil since the fall of the Dragon of Darkness. Tainted draconvir were literally created to be foot soldiers of the Vulgraks, and many of them are trying to turn their backs on their former masters... not always successfully. | |

Raptor Attack: The sliskvir are themed after Deinonychus and similar raptors, complete with sickle-like toe-claws they can use to rip open their victims. In contrast to the standard crocodilian-featured Lizard Folk of Dungeons & Dragons, who are largely defined as logical and unemotional, sliskvir are Hot-Blooded to the extreme. | |

Draconic Humanoid | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_6a58a8eb | comment |
Draconic Humanoid: The kobolds are small, dragon-like humanoids created by the Immordran Lornifas, who resembles a cross between a dragon and a couatl. Draconvir are larger humanoid dragons created by warping humans to possess draconic forms and abilities. Both races are divided into two subraces. Mystic Kobolds were the first draconic humanoid race to exist in Aeres. Excitable, friendly, and curious, they love magic and revel in beauty, and are typically found living in caverns filled with enchanted crystals. They tend to be brightly colored and sport patches of fur or feathers. Stygian Kobolds are more warlike and aggressive than their Mystic cousins, having migrated from their crystal cavern homes to the poisonous, predator-filled swamp of Grimgril. Darker colored and more overtly reptilian than their cousins, they are active predators. Argent Draconvir were created by imbuing human supplicants with the mystical essence of the Silver Champion to create blessed warriors who could better battle the forces of evil. Tainted Draconvir were human slave-warriors twisted into dark dragon-like creatures by the black magics of the Vulgraks, and used as elite regiments in the Great War. | |

You Can't Fight Fate: This is the core belief of the "Wanderlings", a halfling subrace descended from the fatalistic halflings (largely its diviners, oracles and prophets) who chose to flee their homeland when they foresaw it would be invaded. They are much more superstitious and oracular than their "Hinterfolk" cousins as a result. | |

Unequal Rites | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_7958175 | comment |
Unequal Rites: The "classic" wizard, warlock and sorcerer classes tend to not get on too well with the witch, alchemist and dreamcaller classes. Witches are looked down upon as "primitives", especially for their theological beliefs about the intended usage of magic, whilst witches scoff back about the lack of discipline in the "younger" styles. Alchemists are both resented for their greater ease at hiding from persecution and feared for the destructive instability of their magic. Dreamcallers are envied for their strong connection to the dream world, which grants them an intuitive grasp on powerful magic, but at the same time they resent the way that other mages gain power without having to sacrifice their sanity for it. | |

Our Goblins Are Different | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_9136471a | comment |
Our Goblins Are Different: These are the result of draining the souls from gnomes or halflings, leaving a warped, distorted caricature of its former self with a shattered mind retaining nothing but its darkest instincts and drives. The process is irreversible. | |

Hobbits | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_91ed563c | comment |
Hobbits: Halflings in Aeres were created by the Immordran known as Gipta, Maiden of Fate, as part of a far-reaching plan against the coming of the forces of evil. They split into two subraces based on their reaction to when their homeland was invaded by the dark armies, as was destined. | |

Enchanted Forest | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_966f0c70 | comment |
Enchanted Forest: There are two enchanted forests in Aeres, one called Thuldruun to the west where the magical Twilight Elfs live, and one called Gruncrist, which is home to gnomes and animal people. Unwanted visitors to either forest might find themselves wandering them aimlessly, looking for a way out. | |

Sword and Sorcery | |

Sword and Sorcery: The sourcebook "The Doom that Came to Astreas" is set in the titular continent, which has more of a Sword and Sorcery flavor compared to the Heroic Fantasy of Aeres. | |

Character Alignment: It's noted in the sourcebook for Astreas that the "pentacle of morality" was a key cornerstone of designing the sub-setting, with the five races of Astreas each representing one of the five facets of morality; Good, Evil, Law, Chaos and Neutrality. | |

Lizard Folk | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_a04eb363 | comment |
Lizard Folk: Mystic Kobolds are cutesy-looking and gentle-natured reptilian humanoids with Eastern Dragon features. Stygian Kobolds are literally Darker and Edgier kobolds with features more akin to crocodiles, predatory lizards, and snakes. They're even referred to as lizardfolk in-universe, due to their physical and social differences from their mystic kobold precursors. Sliskvir are a Hot-Blooded race of humanoid Deinonychus who inhabited the southern wastelands of Astreas. | |

Mad God | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_a95fc331 | comment |
The Horg from Astreas are basically goblins with the forms of beastmen; they were humans, before the Mad God Drakmorla shattered their minds and ate their souls whilst warping their bodies into half-man, half-beast monsters. They are so dependent on her to function that when she is killed, they all instantly turn to stone. | |

Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_b895687e | comment |
Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid: Subverted. It's explicitly noted that only humans, elves and dwarves can crossbreed, and that's because of the very similar nature of their spiritual makeup. Other races are just too alien on a spiritual level to be capable of crossbreeding. Even the Wilderkind are incapable of breeding with anything other than another Wilderkind of the same subrace. | |

Evil Overlord | |

Evil Overlord: The history of Aeres saw the rise of multiple evil overlords, like the "Witch Lord" Olhogim, who tried to conquer the world twice with armies of goblins, and also the Vulgraks, fiendish Skeksis-like creatures who dominated Aeres in a past age. They lived in a desolate wasteland to the east called Astreas, and ruled atop a twisted black tower called Blysvar. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: There are a lot of homages to 80s fantasy settings and stories, some of them openly stated by the sourcebooks, and subtler ones to other Dungeons & Dragons. The Vulgraks have a very strong resemblance to the Skeksis of The Dark Crystal. The Tainted Draconvir are essentially a blending of the Draconians from Dragonlance and the original Dragonborn from Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition. The Wanderling Halflings strongly resemble the Vistani from Ravenloft. The Astreas sourcebook is openly described as being inspired by a combination of Conan the Barbarian, The Elric Saga, The Beastmaster, Krull, Golden Axe, Altered Beast (1988) and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. | |

Screw Destiny | |

Screw Destiny: The "Hinterfolk" subrace of halflings descend from those halflings who, seeing their lands were destined to be invaded, chose to stay and fight — and promptly won. Because of this, they believe that fate is not immutable, and that it is possible to choose one's own destiny. | |

Alchemy Is Magic | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_d251db87 | comment |
Alchemy Is Magic: Alchemy in Aeres is a unique magical field that focuses on using the Three Primes of Sulfur, Mercury and Salt, channeled through Geometric Magic, to manipulate the underlying magical nature of physical matter. Potion brewing is a side effect skill learned as a result of this practice, which focuses much more on changing one thing into something else. It has its downsides, compared to regular magic, most notably in that it has a more limited field of tricks and its more potent powers have a risk of literally blowing up in the alchemist's face. | |

Our Gnomes Are Weirder | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_dee04580 | comment |
Our Gnomes Are Weirder: The original gnomes, also known as the Draemyr, were an attempt by the trickster-god Brena to recreate and "improve upon" the elf races created by her fellow Immordran Ardrisyr. They resemble child-sized elves with hair the color of leaves or flowers and a single random bestial trait, such as horns, a tail, or wings. A significant number of gnomes were tricked into allying themselves with the evil Vulgraks during the Great War, and were transformed into the Drauglir, or "dark gnomes", who combine a goblin-like visage with an increased aptitude for trapcraft and the ability to temporarily assume a form of living obsidian. | |

Anti-Magical Faction | |
| The Chronicles of Aeres (Tabletop Game) / int_ecb3970b | comment |
Anti-Magical Faction: The Imperium, a human empire led by a once-good king named Lancathir, who went mad and became obsessed with stamping out all magic — secretly a ploy by the ancient evil known as the Witch Lord to siphon off vast quantities of aether to revive the Dragon of Darkness. The Imperium has largely been wiped out, but remnants linger, especially in the deeper parts of Hesmoor. Both the Witchfinder Duty and many of Lancathir's Imperators still survive and continue their bloody battles against mages and nonhumans. | |

Non-Mammalian Mammaries: It's not explicit, these are books with a PG-13 rating after all, but it's subtly implied that kobolds, froskvir, sliskvir and orinvir all have breasted females. The non-kobold examples make more sense, because they started as humans and were transformed by Wild Magic. | |
