Felarya is a world saturated with magic. It radiates from everywhere and even the soil of Felarya is magic itself.

The physical nature of Felarya, its origins, are a highly controversial topic, subject to much debating and heated discussions among mages and scientists alike. Phony theories and far-fetched speculations are rife.

Equipment

to change

One of the main reasons why a steady flow of adventurers keep coming to Felarya is the richness, fabulous treasures, and powerful ancient artefacts that are scattered all over the world.  Many of them came from previous unlucky adventurers though...
