Aeres is a new setting for your adventurous 5th Edition campaign. The Chronicles of Aeres, the title of this guide, represents the histories, mythologies, heroes, villains, and struggles of this mystical realm. Aeres is filled to the brim with nostalgia, and its sensibilities are decidedly old school. It's a land that hearkens back to a classical age of fantasy-an age of larger-than-life heroes, true, but also a time when hapless farmhands and folksy Hobbits were coaxed into adventure by wizards, prophecies, and promises of magical treasure. For those who seek their fortune in this realm, the result is often peril and adventure-but just as often magic and charm. The Chronicles of Aeres World Guide will contain everything necessary for a Dungeon Master to create a fleshed out, action-packed adventure within the setting; in addition to dozens of new fantastical destinations to explore and colorful characters to meet, this guide offers both new and experienced players a full kit of tools to create a folkloric adventurer fully immersed in the storybook atmosphere of the realm.
