Creatures of Vathis: Volume One is a 150 page bestiary for the ZodianEmpires Campaign Setting, using the Pathfinder and Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition rules systems. The book will contain over one hundred creatures that can be found in the world of Vathis.
Though developed for our world, these creatures are versatile, and they can be used in any setting! Within this bestiary you will find four new creature types: vastborn, living eldria, kami, and the forsaken. You'll also find a variety of beasts, monsters, mounts, and companions, all itching to be a part of your game. For this book we have been lucky enough to work with the awesome Chris Stoll, who created unique art for every single creature. Two versions of this book will be printed. The first will contain stats for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, and the second will contain stats for The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Both will contain full lore descriptions and beautiful art for every creature and type.
A Deeper Dive into our Creatures
The entities featured in this tome are a varied and diverse sort applicable to any tabletop game. You'll meet companions willing to become your best friend, such as the orava, a tiny fey-squirrel with the ability to teleport. You'll also find information for unique mounts that will take you from place to place. These include drakes (we've detailed a breed for every nation in Vathis!), along with an elk, ram, panther, and many others. Creatures of Vathis will also highlight everyone's favorite fantasy beast – DRAGONS! The dragons in the world of Vathis are slowly waking after being trapped in stone for countless years, and we've included some you may encounter on your perilous journeys. We are also introducing the four new creature types mentioned above: vastborn, living eldria, kami, and the forsaken.
Living Eldria creatures are beasts, monsters, and humanoids whose bodies have come into contact with eldria and adapted in response to eldria's effects. The eldria within an afflicted creature's system sustains their bodies and alters their form to that of an artificial and construct-like state.
Kami are an integral portion of the religious pantheon known as the Shenami. They are spiritual creatures that roam the nation of Washu and are believe to be a physical manifestation of both the deities of Vathis and as the eternal form of the Washun's influential ancestors.
Vastborn are agents of the Shattered Hand created through nefarious means. The vastborn are creatures that come in many forms ranging from the lowly vastling to a mighty Vantus. They are otherworldly fiendish entities with appearances that match the hellish landscapes from which they spawned.
The forsaken are the ancient arcane constructs that once served the Anuald. They are unique in their construction, and despite many attempts to recreate them, those secrets seem to have died with their masters. Forsaken are crafted from stone and metal bound together using unknown magic to give them animation and purpose.
Creatures of Vathus: Volume One (D&D 5e & Pathfinder) by ZodiacEmpires is live on Kickstarter until Saturday 3rd March 2018.
