world: Gadra

In the epic fantasy setting of Madrahar in the world of Gadra, the spirit world and the mortal world intertwine. Reincarnating demigods and schools of magic live side by side. The heroes of a world reborn from ruin must choose to either repent of or repeat the mistakes of the past.

Gadra was created in 2006 or 2007 by Ruth and Jessica, and was originally a setting for a college D&D game. The world has grown since then, and has been used as a setting for four different RPG systems across five gaming campaigns.

Jessica’s currently working on a series of novels called Orphaned Gods set in the north of the continent of Madrahar after the Downfall.
