The legacy of a mortal who became a god
Maldethgon sought the deepest secret of magic: creation itself. His experiments left behind new peoples, strange inheritances, and knowledge that outlived his mortal form. This first volume gathers part of that legacy, giving players new character options and Dungeon Masters new origins, cultures, and discoveries to weave into their worlds.
Your world. Your choices.
Introduce a single lineage, a new subclass, or the wider legacy of Maldethgon. Use the material in an existing setting or make it part of your own world.
