AzNameh: Ascend as A Daeva

Most fantasy worlds are owned by their creators.

AzNameh is different.

For a select group of patrons, ownership becomes literal.

The Seven Climes are divided into dynasties, cities, and eras stretching across thousands of years.

A Dynasty Founder can establish their own dynasty.

• Your dynasty or city becomes canon.

One can become Founder of a city within a dynasty.

• Founder Lords establish one of the great cities of the world.

Humanus can simply live inside a city with their own fate.

• A merchant, villain, scholar, …

One can become something extra ordinary, a primal force, something dark, something with exceptional power and Ascends as a Daeva.

 

This is not a thank-you credit.

 

This is world ownership.

 

Your Name enters history.

 

Earlier patrons receive greater freedom of selection.

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 intelligence, 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.
