ZODIAC & RUNIC MAGIC
With Wayfarer, we are reimagining some of 5th Editions core concepts to flow great in our setting! Player races will be revamped as Zodiac Signs, and we are introducing Runic - Tamga Magic, a new way of approaching magic inspired by Nomadic Mythologies.
CULTURAL AUTHENTICITY
Within the heart of the Wayfarer saga, lies our desire to bring underexplored mythologies and cultures to the world of roleplaying. Our starting point, the Nomadic Myths were selected for a few reasons.
First, it was our own cultural heritage, and it truly filled us with joy to bring something of ours to our hobby space!
Two, we had access to the Anthology of Nomadic Mythology, our Lead Artist Bartu Bölükbaşı’s previous work, where he not only illustrated the myths from Asian cultures, but have researched and written expansively about throughout the anthology.
As we keep creating more and more content for Wayfarer saga and future series, creating a unique, diverse and culturally authentic experience will always be our first priority!
