I don't remember much of the voyage from Bán Ródh. The weather during much of it was abysmal- all keening wind and thunder- once the warm Eimhiran waters gave way to the colder embrace of northern tides... And as I woefully learned early on in our adventure, ocean travel makes me terribly seasick; I admit it was a relief when the án Ghail finally left the great rolling ocean behind, and made it safely into port at Saethar'Kori.

Saleh'Alire is a custom world setting designed for use with the 5th Edition of the Table Top Roleplaying Game known as Dungeons and Dragons; while designed for adventure and exploration games first, it's capable of hosting a variety of campaigns independently, across multiple eras and technology levels.   As a setting Saleh'Alire attempts to reimagine, expand upon, and unify the standard lore- all while still maintaining the flavor and feel of Dungeons and Dragons throughout its various iterations.
Much of the foundation information you find here will be easily recognizable from the many Core books released for Dungeons and Dragons over the decades. Nearly all of the material presented here, however, has been extensively modified in order to expand on available lore, and adapt it to the setting. Other content has been specifically homebrewed for the Saleh'Alire setting, and are my own creations- or has been adapted from the homebrewed content of others who've been kind enough to share their amazing work.
 

Inspiration

As a D&D TTRPG setting, Saleh'Alire draws inspiration from a number of real world historical eras- including several Ancient Civilizations, the multifaceted Medieval Period, the long Italian Renaissance, and even the Golden Age of Piracy.   Fantasy genres haven't been left out, either; a little sprinkle of Steampunk, a hint of Powderpunk, and even a small dash of Aetherpunk all mingle together against a GreyCore backdrop of High Fantasy.

Technology

There is no major historic time period that Saleh'Alire could be compared to in the real world... Instead, each race of Saleh'Alire has its own unique level of technology, and some regions (and races) are much more developed than others.   The result is a world in where players can easily move from an Ancient Civilization to a Gunpowder one, before jetting off to a Clockwork city or a floating island- all according to their own interests / needs.

Themes

The most obvious genres for Saleh'Alire campaigns are High Magic and Sword & Sorcery- or sandbox type Exploration & Adventure themed campaigns that include trappings of both of the above.   With plenty of room to explore, however, is has the potential to include many more; Heroic, Dark Fantasy, High Seas, Gods & Demons, Espionage & Subterfuge, and even a little weird, are also good thematic fits for the setting.
 

As of currently, two major campaigns are actively taking place in the world of Saleh'Alire: Into the Wilds (following the escapades of Mala'kai, Ceiba, Aneirin, Shael, Aethel, and Baelfire), and Wildfire Rising (a solo campaign focused the outcast Zuri Golzar). Both campaigns take place on the continent of Tolara, in separate areas of the little explored Talaina'Vao region, and are expected to run levels 4 through 20 using the 5th Edition of the Dungeons and Dragons TTRPG system.   A third self-led, self-generated campaign is also about to begin (The Open Door) and will run an unknwon length of time using the same system. Unlike the others, this campaign will be played without a traditional DM, using The Solo Adventurer's Ultimate Toolbox by Paul Bimler, as well as both DM for Yourself and DM for Yourselves by Tom Scutt; it will follow the escapades of Darra and Kesiah, with The Heron pocket dimension Tavern operating as the characters' main base during the course of the campaign.  

Into the Wilds

Wildfire Rising

The Open Door

  Prior to these campaigns, another much shorter campaign (The Seeker's Blessing- which followed Echo, Conar, Edric, Aglaomilia, and Aélwin) was attempted but had to be abandoned due to health and other reasons; it took place on the same continent, in the great trade city of Saethar'Kori, in Tolara's Gwyn Tira'Kie region ... Additionally, several oneshots have also taken place in Saleh'Alire since its inception- including one in Rusatar, and another in Castrillis; each followed a different group of characters (though much like the original campaign, sadly none of them were ever able to be fully completed).

Think of this guide not as an inviolable ruleset, but as a kindly starter kit; all regions of Saleh'Alire- and all Sophonts who inhabit it- have their own languages, and their own various dialects (and subdialects) within those languages. Thus, pronuncuations may change quite fluidly by both region and species, and even across the same species in completely different regions. So if your pronunciation isn't perfect? Don't fret! No one will judge you, here!
