Story New Angoria is still a budding civilization on a wild and untamed new continent. There are many strange and wondrous things to be found within it's uncharted territories. As the Angorians have tilled the land, hunted the beasts and cleared the forests, their actions have not gone unnoticed. It didn't take long for the Fey, otherworldly creatures tied to the Material Realm through the strength of it's natural wonder, to take notice. War soon erupted between New Angoria and the Fey. This war takes the form of deforestation, plague, misfortune and bloodshed and thankfully, much of the populace is unaware of it from day to day. Now, nine years since the war began and strife between the two kingdoms rips this continent apart, a new and bold threat looms in the distance. This threat, still kept a secret from the people of both societies, weighs heavy of the minds and hearts of the leaders of both kingdoms. You have been summoned to the court of the Druid Al'raghast far to the east - a week's journey past the last signs of civilization. For reasons that are your own, you have decided to accept this invitation and were told by the courier that you would be contacted within the day by your "Guide" - an Elven Ranger called "Lotus" Defiance System Defiance is a homebrew system based upon 20 years of playing in systems like D&D (2,3,3.5,4,5), Pathfinder, White Wolf, GURPS, HERO, ODAM and several others. Defiance was built out of a continual pattern of seeing some cool stuff on the outside and being frustrated about the same old things. Defiance gives you the flexibility to make what you want and not feel that someone who can "build better" is always much more powerful. We've tossed the idea of the six core attributes in favor of some more functional and fewer attributes. If you want to be a fat wizard, do it. Not everyone who casts was a genius... Our classes and races are many. In Defiance, you don't just level up, you devote your level to either your Race or your Class, with a simple system for "Cross-Class" and "Cross-Race" leveling. Each level gives you something substantial, without the need to min-max. Below are just a few of the options : Race : Human, Elf, Dwarf, Shortfolk, Fey, Dragonkind, Stonechild, Fiend, Celestial, Godkin Class : Knight, Barbarian, Priest, Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, Bladesinger, Rogue
