RolePlay Wiki

Earth has been home to eight previous civilizations. Most human, some not so much. Each has risen, and fallen (or perhaps just sought greener pastures). All have left remnants and ruins behind. We, the children of the Ninth World, were left behind to play in their shadows, making a living off their broken and discarded toys.

Hello, and welcome to the Official Wiki page for Numenera: In the Shadows of Xan'orak.

This page will be relatively spartan, used mostly to provide articles for character creation and reference. This information will be limited (we can go into more detail in-game as needed), to respect the copyright owner.

Homebrew notes:

• We will only be hosting humans, and mutant abhumans. Visitants, artificial intelligences and other abhumans will not be offered as PCs.
  
• We will be using the 2013 Core book, 2014 Character Options book, 2014 Technology Compendium book, 2014 The Ninth World Bestiary book, and a few other undisclosed reference points for our available options. Knowledge or ownership of these books is not required to play.
  
• All cyphers, artifacts, oddities, and mutations will be randomized to add an element of discovery to the process. I leave it to you to wrap your character around it.
