About the Source Book

 

This is a Universal Battles source book, which contains all of the rules to run a fantasy campaign in the Universal Battles’ world.

 

The Planet of Bethica

 

The Planet Bethica is part of the UGG Federation of planets. Under UGG rules, this planet is a code - nx357 star system (No Fly by / No Visit star system). It is a class one world (Earth type) in the Andromeda galaxy. It is the only inhabited planet of six planets in the star system of two suns.

 

Time Period

 

Based on earth’s time line, this is a world which time period is much like that of medieval Europe. During this age you had kings, queens, and nobles who ruled in huge and beautiful structures call castles. Some also say this was the time of magic, dragons,  mystical creatures and beings. This time was approximately 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D.

 

Known Races (Playable Races)

 

This planet has a variety of races, animals and creatures which roam about the lands. The dominate races are the Volarians (Humans) who rule most of the lands. The second most dominate race are the Engamars, who dwell in and under the mountain regions. The Syvarians (Warrior Elves) and the Qu’venars (Mystic Elves) dominate in numbers but stay to themselves hidden in their woodland domains. Next, you have your Granbens (Halflings), Katorians and Salorians (Felines), Latorians (Amazonians) and Titanians (Very Large Humans).

 

Character Professions

 

In the Universal Battles’ world, most player characters start with basic skills then choose a set of them for their specialty; much as a fighter would choose weapon skills, and a thief would choose rogue type skills for which to be proficient. But there are a set of unique professions such as, wizard/mage, missionary of light and darkness, a shadow hunter, and a beast master.

 

Magic

 

The World of Bethica is one of many and unknown worlds that contains at least one nexus artifact. See later for more information of nexus artifacts. But without at least one of these artifacts, magic and spell magic would not be possible on this planet.

 

This planet is full of magic and magical creatures, including Qu’venars, Fairies, and dragons. Magic and magic using beings and creatures are usually shunned and feared.
