About this product

The secrets of the past never remain buried forever. Beneath the cities, mountains, and deserts of Elyssia lie the remnants of forgotten civilizations, forbidden relics, and knowledge that should never have survived the passage of time. Archeology Vol. 1 is a supplement for D&D 5E that introduces complete systems of archeology, ancient relics, corruption, ruin exploration, and the discovery of lost artifacts. Designed to integrate easily into any campaign, this book offers new tools for both players and Dungeon Masters who wish to make exploration and discovery a core part of their adventures. Although the supplement is set in the world of Elyssia, all of its mechanics have been developed to work in any fantasy setting compatible with D&D 5E. A world built on forgotten secrets For centuries, magic was persecuted, censored, and virtually eradicated from society. In its place arose alchemy, a discipline accessible to nobles, merchants, and peasants alike, which transformed the continent and ushered in a new era of prosperity. However, beneath the surface of Elyssia lie countless ruins, buried temples, vanished cities, and vestiges of a past many would rather forget. To uncover these secrets, Archeoalchemy was born, a discipline that combines archeological exploration with modern alchemical advancements to investigate the remains of lost civilizations and understand the powers that once nearly destroyed the world.
