Sylansse Wiki

Welcome to the World of Sylansse
The World of Sylansse is a free fantasy role-playing world for your use or reference. Use it as is, take pieces out and use them, or just read through it for fun.

Sylansse is FREE. As we keep building, we are looking for a little help. Please check out our Patreon page as we're trying to put together the funds to really expand what we have here on-line. If you want examples of what your patronage will get you, check out this page for all the information!

Sylansse has a partner world / wiki - that is the World of Fletnern. While Sylansse is newer, Fletnern has over 30 years of documentation and development.

So What are We Doing Here?
The folks at Board Enterprises have spent decades working on the World of Fletnern. That world was always intended to make sense - to be a world that had fantasy and a working economy and a reasonable judicial system. Many consider it to be gritty.

But there is a different style of role-playing fantasy - what we refer to as Highest Fantasy. Here, fairy tale-style things are happening. Kingdoms have been lost. Kingdoms have been put to sleep. Dragons have stolen princesses, and most of the characters are unaware of how they fit into the historical events. This should be really big stuff! but it is all taken for granted. The bad guys might be super villains bent on world domination or a massive empire of elves.

This is a world where the capital cities are built to fantastical dimensions, because magic is as much a part of the architects’ lives as it is the adventurers’. But it is also a world where low-level adventurers can start out and learn their trade. They may have nothing as beginners, but they know that those legendary magical items can be theirs if they can only wait, and survive.

For highest fantasy to be interesting, the magical aspects have to be a part of every part of the world. Even if the elites, nobles, whatever are all highly magical, but the peasant farmers are all completely mundane, then the world doesn’t work - at least it doesn’t work to that glorious, head-spinning level of excessive fantasy. So the goal is to develop a world so magically fantastic that it feels like a roller coaster. That’s what we’re going for here.

Are you ready for that? Because here we go!
