Explore a Sword & Sorcery-inspired TTRPG setting rooted in the myths and legends of ancient India.

*pronounced (Naag - esh - vara)

Veiled in dark, misty jungles, even the origins of this land are shrouded in mystery. According to legend, the first Serpent Lords were divine—demigods born from the dripping blood of the creator god, the great serpent Shesha.

Today, they are but mortal men, yet still noble and wise rulers. The glittering cities of Nageshvarah are the envy of the world, their gilded armies—feared for their war elephants and master archers—defending the lush river valleys and rice fields. Merchants set sail from every port, carrying spices and precious gems to distant lands.

The People of the Serpent are proud, cultured, and devout. Grand temples rise across the land, their incense drifting skyward, while scholars debate philosophy in sunlit palace courtyards.

Yet dangers lurk in the shadowed jungles and hidden valleys. Shape-shifting Rakshakah demons prey on lone travelers. Voice-stealing Crocota hyenas lure children into the depths to be devoured. And above all, the legendary Divine Beasts guard their domains, destroying any who dare threaten the natural order.

Includes detailed hex map with terrain-specific encounter tables, quest hooks, and more. All in a single double-sided page! Designed to be system agnostic.
