A 5e Campaign Setting
Toxic Seas#
Expore an exciting new world!#
In The Traveler’s Guide to the Toxic Seas, we introduced a world overflowing with toxic mist and a civilisation clinging to the mountains. Over 200 people joined our journey and made that book possible, and now we’re excited to introduce our second volume: The Toxic Seas Loremaster’s Manual! The Traveler’s Guide was always meant to have a companion. Where the Traveler’s Guide introduces, the Loremaster’s Manual explores, expounds, and expands!
In this tome, GMs and players will find all unreached stretch goals from the previous campaign:
Visit the dragon-worshippers of Ajura
Journey beyond the Blackgate of Anuar
Adventure as new subclasses
Beyond what we’ve already promised, the Loremaster’s Manual is packed with new content:
Discover a secret pirate-ruled archipelago: The Sovereign Isles
Lead your allies to victory with the all-new Captain class!
Test your teamwork with new ship-board combat rules!
All of this is for everyone to see and experience, but we’re not stopping there. The Loremaster’s Manual contains a campaign! Experience a true sandbox campaign that plays in the background of your own homebrewed adventures, discovering the secrets of the Toxic Seas at your own pace. Join our mailing list to get notified as soon as the kickstarter goes live, and join our discord server to be a part of our community and watch as we build the Loremaster’s Manual.

Sometimes I wonder what the world was like, before the mist. Father tells me his stories, of the times he visited the ocean, of the great Forest of Pillars. But I can’t remember anything like those…
—the diary of a refugee.
Nearly 1500 years ago, the world was struck by a slow Disaster, a creeping cataclysm. An emerald fog rose as if poured by the hand of God and choked any unlucky enough to breathe its fumes. It tumbled through the valleys and flowed over the hills, covering more and more as everyone and everything desperately sought higher ground. Soon, as the mists slowed their ascent, only the mountaintops were left habitable. It is on these mountains that civilization survives.
Nowadays, in the year 1472, civilization can be said to thrive! The Church of the Sacred Mist has united the people under their god, the Balloon Corp has connected the nations through trade, and the world sits in an uneasy balance. Your characters are sure to tip the scales, but where will their values lie?
