- [AzNameh: Founder of A Dynasty](https://aznameh.com/product/aznameh-founder-of-a-dynasty/): Become a Dynasty Founder — one of only Seven, each bound to a single Clime — whose patronage does not merely raise a city or a fortress but summons an entire ruling bloodline into the canon. A House is born from your name, a hereditary force that bends centuries of narrative: future rulers, future wars, future legends, all unfolding from the foundations you alone set in motion. Included Everything from the Archive Edition, our most prestigious edition. As a dynasty founder you would choose one Humanus name who will found a dynasty, and one Dynasty name. You will have a dedicated story arc, and it depends on the author's vision how to tell your story. As long as the dynasty survives in history, your legacy survives with it. Exclusivity Limited to 7 patrons (Only 1 for each of the Seven Climes) Earlier patrons receive greater freedom of selection. First patrons choose first. A private Zoom consultation with the author. Patron Certificate. Exclusive Patron Council Access. Found a canonical ruling dynasty and let your chosen name become the First Blood — the progenitor of a lineage inscribed upon the living history of AzNameh. Founder name and its Dynasty enter AzNameh canon. Your chosen name will be listed in glossary of AzNameh, among its Humanus, not among its supporter, among AzNameh canonical characters. The founder's name and the dynasty's name follow the cultural identity of the selected Clime. Dynasty may appear in one or multiple books. Dynasty becomes part of the historical landscape of the world. Printed A3 folded Map. Craftsmanship Dynasty appears on future dynastic maps of each Clime, not the map of the seven climes. Your dynasty may: Prosper Conquer Rule Fragment Collapse Become noble Become tyrannical Like all dynasties throughout history, every dynasty eventually ends. Its fate belongs to the story. Your founder's name remains preserved forever within the archives of the world.
- [AzNameh: Humanus of The Seven Climes](https://aznameh.com/product/aznameh-humanus-of-the-seven-climes/): Your name becomes part of the permanent canon of AzNameh. The Humanus of the Seven Climes are the Unseen Multitude — those ordinary souls who drift through the vast chronicle of AzNameh like sparks cast from the great Wheel of Fate. They may surface anywhere the tale demands a mortal hand: to bear a letter across perilous frontiers, to steal a relic from a wandering hero, or to strike down another humanus in the shadowed alleys where destiny coils. Each of the Seven Climes keeps its own strain of humanus, shaped by its winds, its forces, and its forgotten lores. A humanus may be named without a saga bound to them or granted only a single line of fate — yet even such a fleeting mark becomes part of the ten‑volume epic whose span stretches across millennia. The Clime you choose, and the nature of the humanus you claim, will determine in which volumes your name is woven, and in which ages of AzNameh your shadow will fall. Included Everything from the Archive Edition, our most prestigious and limited edition. Humanus receives a canonical name but no dedicated story arc. Exclusivity Limited to 21 patrons (3 for each of the Seven Climes). • Earlier patrons receive greater freedom of selection. First patrons choose first. Patron Certificate. Exclusive Patron Council Access. Your chosen name becomes a Humanus within one of the Seven Climes. • Character follows the naming rules of the selected Clime. Printed A3 folded Map. Your chosen name becomes a canonical historical figure in the future AzNameh volume. Possible positions include: Noble Scholar Envoy Merchant Warrior Villain Villager Other historical roles
- [AzNameh: Founder of A City](https://aznameh.com/product/aznameh-founder-of-a-city/): Across the vast sweep of AzNameh, its Seven Climes unfolding through dynasties, cities, and eras that span millennia, a Founder Lord is one who summons a great city into being. Their city enters the canon; their name is carried into the chronicles; their lineage threads itself through future volumes; their realm is inscribed upon official maps; and their descendants become part of the living, ever‑unfurling chronology of the world. Included Everything from the Archive Edition, our most prestigious and limited edition. Your City receives a canonical name and includes a dedicated story arc. As city founder you won't have any story arc, and it depends on the author's vision how to bring your city to life. It is your city that has dedicated story arc. As long as the city survives in history, your legacy survives with it. Imagine you become the founder of a city like Alexandria in Egypt after your name. Exclusivity Limited to 14 patrons (2 for each of the Seven Climes). Earlier patrons receive greater freedom of selection, First patrons choose first. Patron Certificate. Exclusive Patron Council Access. Your chosen name shall give rise to a canonical city, not a humanus — an enduring locus of power and myth — in the next volume of AzNameh. The city may outlive you or die before yourself. Your chosen name becomes a city within one of the Seven Climes. City names follow the cultural identity of the selected Clime. City may appear in one or multiple books. City becomes part of the historical landscape of the world. You choose the city's name — not the name of a humanus. Printed A3 folded Map. Craftsmanship Your City appears on future dynastic maps of each clime, not the map of the seven climes. Your chosen name shall give rise to a canonical city — an enduring locus of power and myth — in the next volume of AzNameh. This endowment grants a brief yet luminous thread of fate to the Founder — but it is the city itself that draws the greater currents of attention, becoming a vessel for many tales. Across the ages, different humunus and hidden powers may rise within its walls, each adding new shadows and new legends to the realm your name has called into being. As long as the city survives in history, your legacy survives with it. Earlier patrons receive greater freedom of selection. Names must fit the cultural identity of the chosen Clime.
- [AzNameh: Ascend as A Daeva](https://aznameh.com/product/aznameh-ascend-as-a-daeva/): Daevas are primordial servants of darkness. Only one such mantle exists in all the world, for not every soul is permitted to enter the deep strata of history; a single patron becomes something older, something darker, something primordial. In the Manichaean mysteries, the Daevas are no mere villains but cosmic forces, ancient intelligences, architects of corruption, predators of memory. Unlike a cameo or a passing shade, this Daeva becomes a true mythological entity, endowed with its own lore, its own artwork, and its own enduring influence upon future volumes, woven into the canon forever. Long after this campaign ends, long after these books are printed, long after new readers step into the world, the Daeva remains. Included Everything from the Archive Edition, our most prestigious and limited edition. You will become a Daeva. You will have dedicated story arc. You work with the author to establish the conceptual nature of your Daeva. Its final form, appearance, lore and role remain entirely under the author and artist's artistic direction. Major role in one future volume, but the Daeva may appear in multiple future volumes. Exclusivity Limited to ONLY ONE patron. A private Zoom consultation with the author. Patron Certificate. Exclusive Patron Council Access. Ascend into the ranks of the Daevas. Daeva name enters AzNameh canon. Your chosen name will be listed in glossary of AzNameh, among its Daevas, not among its Humanus, but among AzNameh primordial forces. The Daeva's name must satisfy two rules: it must be pronounceable and fewer than 10 characters. Daeva may appear in one or multiple books. Although we would talk about the Daeva and its characteristics together, you will discover the finished story alongside all other readers. Printed A3 folded Map Craftsmanship A dedicated illustration created entirely under the artist's vision. No one will choose how the Daeva look except the Artist of AzNameh. The Daeva may: Die Vanish Rule Command Submit Betray ...
