Imagine a land of dark, sweltering jungles filled with nameless monstrosities and savage reptilian head-hunters... hacking through thick undergrowth to uncover forgotten overgrown ruins filled with glittering treasures... discovering mysterious cities of gold hidden high up between the sheer mountain peaks, filled with foul sorceries... uncovering ancient temples still used by secretive cults to practice their abhorrent sacrifices... and worse still, if those Gods arose as titanic beasts beyond mortal comprehension, to destroy those that dare despoil their worshippers... Then imagine you've arrived, shipwrecked or magically transported, to this tropical hell and that there is no escape. Welcome to the horror of Monster Island!

Thennla is a fantasy setting for the Mythras game system. Encircled by the Outer Ocean, watched by the God of the Sun and the Goddess of the Moon, Thennla's continents reveal themselves. The jungles of Jandekot; the vast deserts of Rasputana; and there, in the east, the Moon Goddess Jekkara anchored over it, is Taygus, land of plains and hills, the great inland sea and teeming civilisations. Here empires are born: Korantia, fading now, but defiant, its city-states each a goddess incarnate; the Jekkarenes, oldest of all civilisations, and blessed by the Moon Goddess; and now the Taskan Empire, overturning centuries of tradition with new ideas, ruled by a god-emperor and his avatar, the Iron Simulacrum. And watching closely is Assabia, a land of cruel rites and cunning sorcerers. The World of Thennla sourcebook is available as a paperback (or as a free PDF) resource for Mythras - a campaign world that is open for exploration and adventure. It includes an overview of the world, centering on Taygus, and describes the magic of the place, and how to create Thennlan characters. More information is given in the supplements Shores of Korantia and The Taskan Empire, but this is an ideal introduction for Games Masters and players who want a magic-rich world of high adventure, with the flavours of classical Greece, Rome, Persia and Byzantium. The Thennla sourcebook will get you started and wanting to learning more. It will inspire you to create your own adventures and develop the cultures outline in its pages.If you already have Shores of Korantia or The Taskan Empire, this booklet is not essential, although it may prove a useful gazeteer for players.

There's something rotten in the town of Advent.Advent - the last civilized place in The Realm before one crosses into the barbarian lands of The Long Riding. Many years ago this was a lawless place of warring clans and murderous bandits. Advent has grown since then, but little has changed. It still attracts the dregs, the runaways, the refugees, the desperate, the unforgiven.Perhaps this is why Zarand and his gang of robbers thought Advent was a good place to lie low. To plan the next job. To find the fabled treasure hoard of the barbarian chief, Hessaret.But naturally, nothing is ever as simple.This might just be Zarand's last job...Hessaret's Treasure is a Mythras scenario set in The Realm, the lands described in Book of Quests. It provides a side chapter for that campaign, or, as is intended, a scenario in its own right. While useful, Book of Quests is not essential for play, and this scenario can easily be slotted into many fantasy campaign settings. It is suitable for a party of up to six reasonably skilled adventurers looking to make a name for themselves and not afraid to get their hands dirty.

Classic Fantasy brings Old School dungeon crawls to the Mythras rules. This book contains everything you need to emulate the fun of class and level-based adventuring, against the classic coterie of monsters, with the classic armoury of spells! If you've ever wanted to convert those old dungeon modules to a d100 system, then Classic Fantasy is for you.Packed with information and new rules additions, Classic Fantasy features a different approach to character creation based on classes such as the bard, cavalier, fighter, magic user, paladin and thief. Choose your race - human or demi-human - and then customize according to class, race and personal preference. If you're a magic user or cleric, the new magic rules for Arcane and Divine spells take the old staples such as Magic Missile, Charm, Fireball and more, and tailor them for the nuances of the Mythras system.For the more combat-oriented, the Classic Fantasy rules provide detailed miniatures-based combat adaptations for the traditional battle-board, complete with guidance on facings, positioning, and handling detailed movement.And of course, no book like this would be complete without monsters to kill and treasure to take! All the old favourites are accounted for, from Basilisks to Displacer Beasts, Grey Ooze to Gelatinous Masses, Kobolds, Gnolls, Hobgoblins and more. Forty pages of treasure and magic items helps you equip even the deepest dungeon with enough loot to satisfy the keenest adventuring party.

From a distance, the city shines so brilliantly that you never see the darkness until it is too late to walk away. Her streets are ancient, yet she bristles with the new. She charges the world for what she offers; but for what she offers, you'd sell her both your eyes. The city is Fioracitta, the Heart of Power. And she welcomes all visitors with open arms. This supplement for Mythras is designed to give the Games Master everything needed to craft adventures or a whole campaign in this setting. The book outlines the city of Fioracitta, the sprawling provincial capital of Lascany, a region in the peninsular nation Itarra, as well as the city's history, geography, culture, and much more. It contains full guidance for character creation, including several non-human species: the Ophidians, the Longane, the Monacielli, and others. Extensive sections on magic and religion adapt the Mythras core rules to the setting, and throughout are many intrigues, secrets, and agencies to help inform and create compelling adventures. Fioracitta draws its inspirations from the Italian city states of the late medieval period and the Renaissance, and creates a vibrant fantasy world that is both self contained, or can be used with many of other settings for Mythras, such as Luther Arkwright, Thennla, and even Classic Fantasy.
