What is abyssal fate?
Abyssal Fate is a Dark Fantasy Tabletop RPG set in an industrial world were conquest, magic, corruption, and horror spawns occur frequently.
Players will create characters from four unique races, then will select one of nine elements as their primary. Through training, experience and completing quests you will grow strong enough to gain new abilities and archetypes.
One player runs the world as the Game Master. The others control their characters, explore dangerous places, fight enemies, and shape the story through their choices.
The game supports in depth tactical combat, exploration, travel, crafting, taming, survival, custom abilities, and more.
We are still in heavy development, with a Kickstarter planned for the near future.

Mortal Realm
The Mortal Realm is where Essentia’s races live, build, conquer, and survive. Nations fight for land, influence, resources, and control over Elemental Crystals.
The Valnar hold the greatest power through industry, armies, and empire. The Brakkons endure under oppression, the Elari guard ancient knowledge, and the Kobbari survive with the memory of fallen dragonkind.
Elemental Crystals drive much of the world’s conflict. They fuel power, wealth, weapons, and ambition, making them valuable enough for nations to bargain, betray, and go to war.

Creation Realm
The Creation Realm is where souls, matter, and Elemental Crystals are formed. Existing souls are returned here, renewed, and prepared to be reborn into the Mortal Realm.
The Creation Gods shape existence from beyond mortal reach. They do not rule nations, choose winners, or interfere with ordinary conflict.
The Abyssal Realm was created to remove corrupted souls from the cycle before that corruption could return to the Mortal Realm.
Abyssal Realm
The Abyssal Realm is where souls are judged after death. The Monarchs decide whether a soul returns to the cycle, suffers punishment, or is erased from existence.
The realm was meant to protect creation from corruption. Souls too damaged to return are broken down before they can spread that corruption further.
Over time, some Monarchs have become corrupt or derelict. Failed judgments and broken soul erasures now send horrors back into the Mortal Realm, creating threats that should never have been reborn.
