About Tales of Omaterra

What is Tales of Omaterra?

Tales of Omaterra is a heroic adventure setting built on ancient Greek, old Norse, and ancient Egyptian mythologies, where you play as a demigod(Greek, Norse) or chosen(Egyptian) and take on grand, deadly tasks for the betterment of the world, for glory, and for fame.

This is a realm where heroes take on the vast majority of the world’s greatest threats, and many lords and pharaoh’s are chosen by the gods alongside classic democratic voting.

There is no shortage of adventure’s to be had in Omaterra.

You carry a hero sigil, that can come in multiple different colors, including; Blue, Green, Gold, and White. These sigils mark you publically as a demigod or a chosen who is on a quest. These sigils are vital parts of the hero society, and list your accomplishments, titles, and your ranking among the servants of the gods.

Take on a grand quest through mythology, fighting cyclopes, giants, wolves, wurms, all the way to purple worms and ancient dragons. Fight monsters of myth like the Chimera, save the world from the awakening of Surtr and ragnarok, or stop Apophis from being summoned and eating the sun(ra).

The Four Sigils

The marking of a Hero

  • Gold - Apocalypse Prevention

    You are a unique blend of the other sigils, with more focus on world ending threats, of which there are many, that threaten the world of Omaterra. You command respect from adventurer guilds and take on far more specific missions, and play less of a role in normal world affairs, but are still vital to the safety of the realm. You may take on powerful enemies who seek to begin Ragnarok, or you may fight mages who wish to summon Apophis who will eat the sun, or you may stop the norse giant Surtr from emerging from his prison.


  • Blue - Monster Hunter

    A powerful hunter of the things in the dark, the famous creatures of myth like the Nemean Lion, Polyphemus, The Chimera, etc… You may be connected to any number of other hunters across the world, and are very popular among the large, sanctioned mercenary guilds. The hydra’s and northern dragons are often your prey. 


  • White - Clerical

    You are more connected to the faiths of the world, and carry a stronger connection to divinity than others with different sigils. Your people are often chosen to guard or retrieve ancient relics of deities, find old scripts and texts, and are often regarded as the most learned of the five sigils. Your people play a very important role in the world’s sustained peace, with white sigiled heroes often stepping into leadership roles in communities and becoming notable diplomats in addition to being guardians of the faith.

  • Green - People's Leader

    You are here to keep the peace, to represent the gods in world affairs involving city and town defenses, represent the different militaries in talks of peace, and  your station among soldiers, mercenaries, arena fighters, and all forms of combat is higher than those carrying other sigils. You command respect from many, and your presence is often extremely calming to citizens of the world in times of crisis. 

The Three Empires

  • The Asumin Empire - Egyptian

    The great realm of knowledge, high magical capability, exploration, and an extensive history that far surpasses the greeks and the norse.

    The greatest mages hail from Asumia, and their numerous deities protect the realm from grave threats with your help. The capital city, Thotherun, is the worldly capitol of information, study, and history, and the Sentinel’s of Hope have a guild branch in the city.

  • The Sotopos Empire - Greek

    The beacon of wealth, competition, and magic items, the Sotopian empire is the home of many of the greatest crafters, warriors, and industries. Hailing from the Sotopian Empire makes you connected to many other guilds, organizations, and religious orders.

  • The Eddanir Empire - Norse

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Short Campaigns

  • The great egyptian city of Thotherun, the capital of the Asumin Empire is dealing with a unique problem. A killer is moving through the night and taking the souls of victims, killing them and devouring their life energy.

    Graves are being robbed, the dead and dying not passing to the proper afterlife, and the gods have taken notice. You are heroes of the Sentinel’s of Hope guild, a heroes guild shaping the future of questing and adventure. You are sought out by the empire to handle the problem. Track down and imprison or slay the killer, a man depicted as tall, sickly, lanky, and covered in gasping circular mouths, with only the hint that he seems to be tied to one of the Egyptian afterlife assessors, Am-Heh, a minor god known as the Eater of Million. His cultist followers get in your way, and your first lead guides you to an abandoned temple and museum in the city.

  • Welcome to the Greco Egyptian city of Osirin, a small city bound to Isis and Hekate, the greek titaness and egyptian goddess of magic. This small city has been overrun with a force of fear and terror so powerful that people are dying in their homes, the clerics claiming they died of fright.

    You are sent to the city through the hero guild known as The Sentinel’s of Hope. Find the source of this fear, the guild believing this to be a curse of Deimos, son of Ares, God of Fear and Terror. The priests of the city have taken refuge in their hold, seeking a proper solution. Go to the town, meet with the city elders, and find the source of the curse that is laid upon the city, and remove it. Prepare for terrifying scares and a dangerous foe with a divine nature.

  • Mount Muspel has erupted, ands chaos descends in the region. The sky is full of black ash and the sun is blocked from proper view. You are experienced heroes of the realm, chosen to fight to the heart of the volcano and slay the strange figure seen inside the smoky mountains in the late evening.

    The figure is believed to be a powerful fire giant mage of Surtr, the norse god of fire and an instrumental villain attempting to begin Ragnarok, destined to slay Freyr when the world ends. The cult of the Burning Brush are the devotees of Surtr, and you can expect resistance from them when you breach the mountain and volcano. Fight through the cult and their empowered mages to find the prime agent of Surtr, slaying him and preventing the continuation of their plans.

  • There is a string of high profile assassinations that are slaying high level agents of the The Three Empires. The witnesses claim to have seen a tall, muscular, and wild, curly silver haired warrior with a strange curved staff made of black iron and tipped in silver and opals at the scene of all the assassinations, but she has not yet been caught.

    Her powers seem to indicate a control over time, and she bears the symbols of Chronos, god of time. Bodies have been aged from young adult to ancient, the killer ignores most authority figures because they cannot find her, and her strange staff seems to transform into a two handed scythe when people encounter her and attempt to fight back.

    Your guild, the Sentinel’s of Hope, has put you and other powerful champions of the gods forward to solve this problem. You are sent to the Norse megacity of Gata where the first lead was found, carrying with you runic enchanted charms from northern rune crafters to protect you from her time manipulation powers.

    Track her down, kill or imprison her, to gain a 10,000gp each bonus if you bring her back alive to face proper judgement.

  • The great god of monsters, Typhon has been partially summoned to the mortal world for the first time in thousands of years. The god’s body fills the north-easter regions of the Norse empire, the Eddanir empire.

    Fight your way through colossal and gargantuan monsters that are appearing in the mountains of Jotun’s Legs to the summoner bringing Typhon to the mortal realm, and stop the full re-awakening of the deity, threatening the destruction of the whole world.
