LEGENDS OF AVALLEN

“From that island at the end of the world, no soldier returned without tales of wonder. Walking forests, talking fae, enigmatic shapes half man and half beast; things that you ought not to believe unless you see them yourself.”—Kaato the Sage on the invasion of Avallen

Inspired by Celtic mythology in Roman Britain, Legends of Avallen is a roleplaying game that takes you to a mystical island occupied by faithless invaders. For now, peace has been called but it balances on a sword’s edge as all seek to tame the Otherworld—a parallel realm home to fae, demons, dragons, and gods. Here the greatest of legends rise from humble beginnings, and yours will be no different. Begin as a blacksmith, shepherd, merchant, or other base profession before questing to follow a legendary path, such as the Fae Touched, Gladiator, or Druid.

With an original ruleset that needs just a deck of regular playing cards, Legends of Avallen uses engaging mechanics that reward ingenuity. Setup allies in combat, uncover motivations in parleys, craft gear from slain mythical monsters, and navigate risks on journeys through ancient wonders. Will you mend the rifts between worlds, or delve into their depths for fame, fortune, and power?

Legends of Avallen was designed and created by Deren Ozturk, who lives in Cardiff, Wales. Deren has two passions in life: science and tabletop games. While completing his PhD in physics he began developing an RPG to introduce new players to the genre inspired by his Welsh locale. After successfully raising over $30,000 on Kickstarter, the Legends of Avallen core rulebook has now been brought to life by a diverse group of talented people working across four continents!
