About Jemmora

Tales of Jemmora is a campaign setting by Sean Hayes where heroes engage in swashbuckling and sorcery in search of legends and loot.

What Makes Tales of Jemmora Unique?

The present-day kingdoms of Jemmora are built on the bones of an ancient, hyper-advanced civilization known as “Relic” by scholars and historians. Relic thrived eons ago but met its end in an ancient conflict known as The Blood War. Jemmora is littered with ruins and artifacts both great and small from this age.

In Jemmora, stories have power – more so than in other lands. Stories about Relic, in particular, are quite potent: an artifact from the ancient kingdom might lay dormant, only to come alive when someone learns the true legend behind it. Exceptionally great stories can even generate their own magic, bestowing boons upon the right listener.

Another facet of life in Jemmora is The Covenant – a pact between the gods to avoid direct action and deific aggression toward one another. That doesn’t mean the gods are distant or passive though: they enact their will via proxies and worshipers. Faith and legend are key tools for the gods, for it is how they gain and retain power.

One thing is notably absent in Jemmora – dragons. No one alive has seen a dragon (with the exception of the faerie dragons of the Feywild), though stories abound about their mythical prowess. If they ever existed, they left no trace behind.
