Welcome to the World of Davric!

 Welcome to the blog page for the world of Davric.

I've been making occasional posts on the Pathfinder 1E Facebook page about my own homegrown world.  Decided to take the leap and start compiling them in one spot.

Davric is a 'kitchen sink' setting, meaning that don't over fret about historical accuracy.  It was inspired by Paizo's own nation-in-decline-that-is-still-an-empire, but more fleshed out due to the historical Byzantium and David Drake and Eric Flint's Belisarius series. (First book here.)  It is a fantasy world, not historical, with my own take on the classic fantasy races, and some new ones.  This is a world of wild wolf riding halflings, friendly nomadic gnomes, sea sailing dwarves, and as always humans and their desires and destinies.

The Empire is the central focus for now, that and the neighboring nations, lands and tribes.  The empire is a shrunken version of itself, like a leopard to the great Imperial Lion it once was.  But a leopard is still dangerous, and has claws.

I'll be moving content here over the next few weeks, as well as updating new content.  It's free of course.  I'm a one man no art operation and can't promise a regular schedule.  If you like what you see, click the Paypal.

Tamlin, canvasses of the gods.

  “We were the first, all the skins you are, we wore first.   The Shaper made as as the canvas on which elves, dwarves, humans, all were painted.   We remain hidden among you.   You divide, segregate yourselves, but from our hidden places, you are all the same.” Ayava, tamlin oracle. Tamlin claim to be the first race, their natural shapeshifting the result of the gods using them as the template to make the thinking races from.   Few tamlin communities exist on Davirc, as they integrate into other societies as water flows into the cracks in the earth.   To most, the tamlin are a myth, or a fairy tale of stolen babies and changelings.   They live among human, gnome, dwarf, elf and the other races, wearing their skins and engaging in their own agendas. Physical Description: Tamlin, in their natural forms, are a tall slender race, standing as tall as humans, but with much thinner bodies than humans.   Naturally hairless, tamlin skin color varies from light blue to dark grey, with s

Dwarves of Davric, escapees from subterranean seas

  Dwarves, escapees from subterranean seas Traditions: Divine, Martial Dwarves are a costal and mountain people their legends tell of sailing starless seas in the Middle and Lower Deeps, and of their battles against the monsters of the Deeps. Those days are long lost, echoes of before the Retreat. The dwarves lost.   Their warriors fought fighting withdrawal, their ships fighting on the underground seas, their armies holding back the hordes to give their citizens time to flee higher and higher in the deeps.   Thousands were slaughtered, entire clans lost, their names honored.   Other clans had their names stricken, wiped from the rolls of honor.   Some clans were lost to the forces rising up from the lower deeps, turning their backs on their brethren. These forsaken clans were left to suffer for their betrayal. When the dwarves broke through to the surface, they emerged in the mountains on the coast of the central sea.   They set up new cities in the mountains and expanded to
