The gods have proclaimed the Age of Destiny. Stride forth, adventurers, and claim your place in legend!
We've gone back to the roots of fantasy—mythology and folklore—to design a game setting where adventurers strive toward heroic ideals. Courage, loyalty, resourcefulness—in Drintera®, being a hero means bringing out the best in yourself and in your companions. Your deeds make the world a better place.
Drintera is a passion project to build a fantasy TTRPG world nearly as diverse as our own. We aim to represent and celebrate as many cultures as possible. Experience fantasy reimagined by a diverse international team!

Deep Storytelling
The diverse lands of Drintera beckon adventurers with rich, believable storytelling. Conflicts go beyond good versus evil—and some problems can’t be solved by fighting.
Shaped by Magic
Magic in Drintera is wondrous and follows narrative logic. Even the gods cannot control the ebb and flow of supernatural forces. Auras called dwimmers rise and subside, creating enchanted places of wonder—or dread.
While no one can control dwimmers, mortal actions can shape them. A great tragedy can beset the land with a curse, and a heroic quest can lift the curse. That's why Drintera will always need heroes.
Creative Fuel for Players and Game Masters
Drintera is designed with the do-it-yourself game master in mind. You can play in it as written or borrow your favorite parts for your homebrew campaign. We're making nations, factions, gods and sects, legends, adventure locations, story ideas, villains, and creature lore to inspire your game!
Rules Light
Our emphasis is on deep lore and narrative potential. While we provide notes on how to play Drintera using Tales of the Valiant (a 5.5E compatible system) and Pathfinder Second Edition, we don't emphasize original rules content. This means Drintera is mostly system agnostic: worldbuilding first and foremost!
Inclusive by Design
We’ve intentionally discarded unwanted baggage from 20th century pulp fantasy, such as racism and sexism. Drintera is a setting where the current and next generations of gamers can feel at home. This is not to say Drintera is for youth only. It’s for everyone.
