A High Fantasy Original RPG
3/3/3 — LGBTQIA+ Friendly

In Pulantri, the gods are real and active in the lives of the people–whether by small actions such as the gift of magic to their worshippers, or perhaps the larger acts of natural disasters, blessings, and the choosing of champions. In such a world where the constant reminder that you are not the most powerful creature on these lands, one might think that ambition would give way to beneficence. But just as the gods are fickle, so too are people; with wants and desires that can never be satisfied.

There are many options to explore on Ere the Sun Rises–be it politics for good or ill, vying for favor from the gods, or perhaps the hunting and conquest of magnificent monsters. There is opportunity for almost every play-style: slice of life, or grand adventure.
