Welcome to Hael - the fast¸ furious¸ and fun fantasy world where the Orcs and Gnolls won the war - now adapted for the Savage Worlds rules.
Hael isn't just another world - it's a journey into the heart of war¸ ambition¸ and drama! On the way you will visit a sorcerous Dominion ruled by Daeorcs¸ the descendants of Orcs; an Empire where the Yaena¸ the
children of the Gnolls¸ have perfected the arts; and a wilderness where the untamed Humans¸ Halflings¸ and Kirene endure a daily life-and-death struggle to survive.
You will come to the Daeorc tower of High Sorcery¸ the great Storyteller Lairs of the south¸ and the desert plains where the Calling brings those who live in the wilderness to the power within themselves.
The Strangers are here also¸ trying to escape their fate at the hands of the merciless¸ steel Nuclarine. New technology will merge with the power of magic and of the mind¸ and you will see a war brewed from the mix.
Hael takes several existing fantasy ideas that you know and love - Orcs¸ Gnolls¸ Humans¸ Halflings¸ and magic - and develops them to a degree that makes then new again. Stuff like the techniques of Daeorc Sorcerers; the martial arts styles of the ever-flexible Yaena warriors; and the guerrilla fighting tactics of Human barbarians with psychic powers.
Speaking of psychic powers¸ Savage Worlds Edges have provided us with an even more streamlined and elegant set of rules than the old d20 SRD ‘Psihammer' rules¸ and we have added a real psychic-fantasy flavour with these Edges and Powers!
Then Hael takes off with a bunch of inspired and well defined new material - like the untamed Kirene and the blood-sacrifice rituals of their Druids; the mental powers of the Strangers; the awesome technology of the Nuclarine and their malevolent Steel-Gods.
With all this going on something has got to give - and it does! You'll be there on the brink for the second war of Hael¸ as psychic barbarians¸ sophisticated Sorcerers¸ deadly Outriders¸ murderous Druids¸ and the Alien newcomers make and break alliances¸ trying to become the rulers of Hael.
