Thal'Zirath: The Ledger of the Living

Create a character the sea will remember.The Ledger of the Living is a player’s handbook for Thal’Zirath: The Sunken Kingdoms, a drowned fantasy setting of pirate crews, merfolk diplomats, reef goblin brokers, Pearlkin patrons, ancient ruins, breath-charms, dangerous favours and reputations that travel faster than ships.This is not a book for tourists with swords.It is a book for characters who belong in the Black Pearl Isles: sailors, smugglers, salvagers, priests, exiles, duelists, brokers, debtors, heirs, wanderers and survivors. Your character should have something to lose, something to want and a reason to be in a world where every promise has witnesses.Inside, you will find everything you need to build and play characters in the Sunken Kingdoms, including new ancestries, backgrounds, subclasses, spells, equipment, maritime rules and the social engine at the heart of the setting: the Favour Economy.In Thal’Zirath, coin is useful, but it is never the only currency. Favours open doors. Reputation closes them. A promise made in public can be stronger than a contract, and a debt left unpaid may follow you from harbour to harbour until the sea itself starts keeping score.This book includes:Twelve playable ancestries from the peoples of the Sunken KingdomsTen setting-native backgrounds rooted in salt, salvage, debt and survivalSix original subclasses designed for Thal’Zirath campaignsFifteen spells written for a drowned worldNew equipment, gear and breath-charms for life above and below the wavesRules for sailing, navigation, pressure and tradeA full guide to the Favour Economy, where debts, promises and reputation become part of playTone and table guidance for playing in a world where NPCs rememberQuick-reference cards and setting tools for easier use at the tableThal’Zirath is a world built on what drowned, what survived and what remembers.
