Amarune's Almanac: Grasslands of the Realms

Vorpal Dice Press

Welcome to the ‘forgotten’ part of The Forgotten Realms

Ed Greenwood (excerpt from Foreword)

The third in a multipart series exploring the eight biomes of Dungeons & Dragons within the Forgotten Realms campaign setting.

Grasslands of the Realms brings life to the oft-forgotten lands of Faerûn. We’ve populated these vast areas with new and old flora, fauna, and history alike. Grasslands of the Realms does this through both narrative prose, written from the perspective of Amarune Whitewave (the great, great granddaughter of Elminster Aumar), and through occasional notes from her husband, editor, and traveling companion Arclath Delcastle.

Contained with this 52-page tome, you’ll get:

Subclasses

the Circle of the Plains druid which seeks to expand on the land (grassland) druid.
and the Stormchaser, a conclave of Rangers who ritually bind themselves to the destructive nature of storms.

Variant rules

Expansions to the Druid and Ranger classes to allow them more access to the new spells contained within this book!
