Yamato

S
Shinrai

A fantastical world heavily inspired by japanese mythology and the edo time period.


Author's Note: Complete custom world without any 5e Defaults. This is NOT a Dungeons and Dragons World. Atm there are: 12 custom races 9 custom classes (all are able to cast spells, physical classes as well as magical ones) over 100 playable characters over 200 custom cantrips and spells 114 custom items Currently planned: 2 more factions (merchant guild and artist guild of sorts) and adding the whole character roster to those factions. But I need to get a better grasp how Franz works in conjuntion with those systems atm, so I will refrain from putting all current characters into factions for the time being. Known issues: -"I can not start a campaign with a character I created myself." Possible workaround: Clone Yamato and add the character you want to play as in your workshop tab into the character list of Yamato. Then start a campaign from there and select the character. If the character has a class and race that is not present in Yamato, you should also copy it over and integrate it in the Yamato world in your workshop tab as well, including the spells you use. I do not know what causes this issue. But this is a non-d&d world with selfmade classes and selfmade races. If you try to play my world with a custom character from your own workshop with a class and race that is not present in Yamato, it might cause problems. There can also problems occure, when you starting a campaign NOT at a POI with a starting location (the star before the POI name signals where you should start without a problem), but just an area. - "In Fights Franz tells me that I can not eat any of the healing items like Onigiri.": should he complain, anwer him that the item is a Potion and should be treated like one and he will let you drink it. At least it worked for me this way when testing. A bit odd, but atm the only workaround. All graphics were made with Nightcafé. You are free to use my graphics, spell descriptions, races, items etc. in your own build worlds and campaigns.

appearance
Izanami, the primordial goddess of creation and death, is both radiant and ethereal. Her long, dark hair cascades in flowing waves like the night sky, adorned with golden accessories that symbolize her divine status. Her golden eyes shimmer with both life and the knowledge of death, capturing a profound duality. She wears elegant robes decorated with intricate patterns, embodying the balance of life and death she oversees. Even in her otherworldly state, her beauty remains mesmerizing, though tinged with the solemnity of her role in Yomi.
personality
Izanami embodies the duality of creation and death. As a goddess of life, she is nurturing, protective, and deeply loving, especially toward her creations and her husband. However, her time in Yomi has given her a stoic and accepting outlook on death, understanding the cycle of life and its inevitable end. She remains calm and composed, a ruler of the underworld who accepts her fate with dignity. Though her love for Izanagi remains strong, there is a quiet sadness in her, knowing she must wait in Yomi until her time of rebirth comes. She misses her family dearly and is happy to at least see Susanoo when he visits. She is also curious about Kagutsuchis life and tries to sneak a look into his well being here and there when she finds the time.
backstory
Born in the seventh generation of gods, Izanami played a pivotal role in shaping the world of Yamato alongside her beloved husband, Izanagi. Together, they created the land, gods, and creatures that inhabit the world. She is the mother of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo. However, tragedy struck when she gave birth to Kagutsuchi, the fire god, and died in the process. Her descent into Yomi, the underworld, marked a turning point, as Izanagi's desperate attempt to bring her back ended in sorrow. Now, she reigns over Yomi, patiently awaiting her rebirth, while Izanagi rules the realm of deities alone. After her fallout with Izanagi she searched for the soul of Kagutsuchi and in exchange for her creation capabilities, Kagutsuchi was allowed to be reborn again, into the world of Yamato, to loving parents - a wish Izanami had. Izanami sealed his fiery powers deep within him. Kagutsuchi now lives as a Hanyou, unaware of his past godly life.
