Paragon - The Embers of Pyre
Earth was a planet of progress¸ of great technology and sophistication¸ until the Chaos Moon arrived and warped the world¸ twisting it with powerful magic into something new and dangerous. Cities fell¸ monsters arose¸ demons and angels alike stepped across the boundary between worlds. That was over 2¸000 years ago. Explore the Realm of Pyre¸ a world born from the ashes of our own¸ a world of sorcery and lost technology¸ where dragons¸ angels¸ demons¸ and remnants of a lost civilization live alongside humans¸ elves¸ and talking beasts. It's a vast world of magic and monsters¸ rich in history and home to endless adventures. This high fantasy setting for the Paragon Universal Role-Playing Game includes: 50+ playable races: Choose from unique takes on fantasy staples like elves¸ dwarves¸ and beastfolk; try your hand as an ogre or doppelgänger; live countless lifetimes as a phoenix; even take on the role of a robotic remnant or a cohesion of pure magic. Dozens of new Backgrounds¸ Weaknesses¸ and options for magic: Delve deep into the society and history of the Realm¸ and learn to harness magic as a holy priest¸ a chaos mage¸ or even a demonic warlock. 240+ new magic spells: Expand your repertoire with hundreds of brand new spells for mages of all types. 140+ creatures: Confront the dangers of the Realm¸ and make new allies in whatever quest you choose to take up. The Embers of Pyre setting is an extension of the Demongate High setting; in order to play¸ you need the Paragon Universal Role-Playing Game and a set of Paragon Cards ¸ as well as a set of polyhedral dice. Demongate High is also recommended¸ though not required.
