The World of Luctus is a Homebrew Setting for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition written and DM'd by Azenda.

This Wiki is a community and fan-run wiki for Luctus with the aim to provide current and potential future players within the Luctus Setting to have an easier time becoming immersed within Luctus at their own pace. This wiki is a constantly in-progress project that will ideally become more fleshed out as the community expands. Feel free to peruse in the mean time!

## **New to Luctus?**

New to the World of Luctus? Here are some key points!

##### **Technology**

Luctus takes place in a medieval fantasy setting, meaning that there is very little technology in the modern sense, the use of steam or early firearms has not yet been attained in most of the world. The equivalent real world period would be around the 15th Century.

##### **Races**

While almost all countries have prevalent races, all the races from D&D 5th Edition are present in Luctus, including some Homebrew Races.

##### **Gods**

In Luctus, Gods play a crucial cultural part in the shape of the world as all commonly worshiped Gods are tied to countries. While certain Gods have been around since as far as mortal records go, some others are mortals that ascended more or less recently. All information on the Gods and some of the more obscure worships can be found here.

##### **Culture**

The world of Luctus is one built in the image of the Gods. Every known country is built in the image of the gods and the people within those countries worship the gods and strive for the values they stand for, but the gods themselves do not govern those countries.

For example, the country of the Elves, Ainir, is built in the image of the God of Perfection, Infin. They strive for perfection in all things, and the different tribes of elves take an interest in a different way to reach this perfection. The Greenwood Elves, for instance, are elves that firmly believe that the natural order and the survival of the fittest is the best way to approach that perfection, while the Greybush Elves believe that reaching inner peace is the way to get close to perfection.

##### **Chagrin**

There is a global belief in Luctus that every evil, every nefarious act and every bad thought stems from the same source. When a creature is corrupted or a village is attacked, there is an understood agreement that an unseen force called Chagrin moved that creature. When a man thinks about cheating on his wife or stealing bread, it is because Chagrin is corrupting his mind. While this is an unseen and unobservable force, there are records in history of Chagrin Spawns, creatures made entirely of this corruption. However those are rare and the ones that beat them even more so.
