This section includes guidance for creating hero characters for Odyssey of the Dragonlords. This includes backgrounds, species, subclasses, and more. The first thing you should decide is where your hero is from. Heroes who hail from Thylea will have a stake in her future—but outsiders may choose to quest only for some means to escape these shores.

Player characters can be natives born in Thylea, or outsiders from overseas. Native characters should follow the guidelines below. Outsiders are those recently washed ashore from an ill-fated voyage across the great ocean, and can be of any species or class that exists in the world from whence they came.
