The Sovereign Wars

One hundred years ago a war
broke out between a powerful
cabal of wizards, the church of
Sol and the largest dream
sovereign sanctuary. The war
involved almost all of Albion
and lasted for just five years. But
in that five years over a 1million
people died. The result was a
cold war that lasted another 10
years. Today the inflexible
Church of Sol Invictus has bent
and allowed not only the
Sovereigns but other faiths to
pass through and even set up
(within reason of course) in the
lands of the unconquered Sun.

Backgrounds
• Backgrounds are abilities that
reflects a character’s training
and aptitude in various fields
including fighting, medicine,
magic and even religion.

• No player can have more

than one Unique background.

• Take note that a player does

not have to pick a unique
background.

• All players get a choice of

three backgrounds, only one of
which can Be unique.

• All backgrounds can be

taken only once.

30
31
Apothecary
Unique Background +1 INT
On the world of Evermore the
state of medicine is rather
sketchy compared to Earth’s.
Germs? Viruses ? What are
those? When the creator
brought Evermore into
existence, The world reflected
his vast knowledge of movies, tv
shows and even a 12th grade

First Aid
Make an INT test when taking
care of someone who has
fallen to 0 HP. On a successful
roll, they roll a d4 on the
Helpless table instead of a d6.
Craft Drugs
The Apothecary can also
create
• d6 doses of healing balms
(restores d6 HP)
• hallucinogenic drugs or
poison (d6 damage per dose).
• You need to find ingredients
in a natural environment that
takes one hour per roll and at
least one uninterrupted hour to
create more drugs. See
Equipment, Goods and Services
for more information.

32
33
Assassin
Unique Background
+1 DEX
Those that kill for money or
some other compensation have
been around since the
beginning of time. And then
there’s the fact that some
assassins are directed to kill for
other reasons, be it political or
religious.
In fact many assassins don’t
even see what they do as
wrong. The Church of Sol even
has a holy order that goes out
and “stops tyranny before it
begins”.
Assassinate
Roll your first attack against an
unaware target. If the attack
hits, the target is killed
automatically. This attack can
be applied to any one handed
melee weapon or ranged
weapon. This ability does not
apply to beings that have no
discernable anatomy or are
immune to critical hits.
Master of Disguise
Assassins gain advantage on
rolls to disguise themselves
taking on a different persona.
Disguises that are too different
from the assassin can take
away the advantage or if very
far (like say a human disguising
themselves as dragon) will give
disadvantage.

34
35
Barbarian
Unique Background +1 STR
To the west of The Great Spine
all societies are thought to be
barbaric to the people of
Albion. And to some extent this
is true. West of the Great Spine
is filled with many inhospitable
environments making the mold
for the typical barbarian.
Barbarianism is more than
where and how you live
though, it’s a core value
believing that civilization is a
trap. All one truly has is their
wits and the cold hard steel of
a sword’s blade.
Rage
When you rage, add a d6 to
the damage you deal. The
damage you receive is divided
by 2. Your rage stops when you
roll a 1 on the d6. You need a
long rest to be able to rage
again.

36
37
Favored
Soul
Unique Background
+1 WIS
The gods are basically all liars to
some extent. Most lay claim to
having had a hand in the
creation of Evermore. Very few
people know the truth that their
world was created by an 18
year old bisexual nerd from
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Even so, the gods are very
powerful beings that can grant
miracles to those they favor.

Miracles
These are gifts given by the god
to the favored soul. At
character creation the Favored
Soul starts with one miracle.

High Priest
At 10th level you can now
create Holy/Unholy Tokens or
Relics.

38
39
Inventor
Unique Background +1 INT
On the world of Evermore
magic takes many forms. The
mages have their spellbooks,
the favored souls bend knees
to their “gods” but inventors rely
upon the magic of “Science”.
This isn’t the science of the
Technocrats that rule Earth, but
the science of wonderment.
This is the laboratory of
Dr. Frankenstein, or the shut in
trying to create a Philosopher
Stone, or even the strange
science from the Way Outs.
During the Sovereign Wars they
worked behind the scenes to
help the Sandmen to gain
freedom from the Church of Sol
Invictus and with the recent
separation of the Creator from
Evermore, The magic of
Science just might become a
foundational part of the World
of Evermore.

quest or is working for a noble
or noble order.

Noble Standing
• At character creation you
begin with a horse and
everything needed to ride it. All
riding rolls are at advantage.
• You also begin with a suit of
Plate armor, shield (with your
coat of arms on it).
• Also, in most civilizations you

back ideas of chivalry.

Mage
Unique Background +1 INT
Magic flows through the very air
of Evermore. Mages are those
that have learned to harness it.
In Evermore they create a
triune power structure with the
Dream Sovereign and Favored
Souls. This may take on a
greater dynamic with the
addition of the Psychics and
the Weird Science of Inventors
since Zoso untethered the
Creator from Evermore.
The role a mage takes depends
on what spells they learn. Some
lean towards summoning and
others through divination while
others delve into necromancy
or various other murky
practices.

Magick
Through learning spells, you
channel your innate magickal
nature. You have the gift of
Magick and start the game with
one Magick Spell .

Archmage
This title (achieved when
attending the 10th level,
indicates that the mage can
now create Magickal Tokens,
Relics and Grand Rites.

Rogue
Unique Background
+1 DEX
Rogues are opportunists who
use guile and deceit to get
what they want. Some Rogues
are good nature, but weak in
morels while others are the
lowest of the low.

Thievery
Rogues have Advantage on
actions Involving finding and
disabling traps, stealth,
pickpocketing, eavesdropping,
and streetwise savvy.

Thieves Tools
All rogues begin the game with
a set of Thieves Tools to help
them in their trade. Included in
this set are :
Small files of various grit, a set of
lock picks, a small mirror
mounted on a metal handle, a
set of narrow-bladed scissors, a
pair of pliers, and small disguise
kit (unlike assassins, rogues do
not get advantage on their
disguises.

47
Psion
Unique Background +1 INT
The influence of the True
Atlanteans runs deep in
Evermore. So much so that
certain humans, either through
experiments conducted by the
aliens or direct contact with
their strange equipment gives
one the ability to unlock the
powers of the mind.
The Psychic is a very rare
background in the world of
Evermore and if more than one
is in the same adventuring
group they most likely will share
a common way they have
acquired the background.
The vast majority of the people
of Evermore have no idea on
the origins of psionics but if
word gets out, the psychic can
be looked down upon by them.
The vast number of psychics are
found within or near the Great
Spine of Tiamat and near great
ruins of the True Atlanteans.

Psionics
Psions have the gift of Psionics,
drawing from the power of the
mind. They begin the game
knowing one Psionic Gift
.
Overmind
The psion has taken on the title
of Overmind and can now
create Psionic Tokens and
Relics.
