Karix

Karix is a fictional universe created by the Swedish author and game designer Daniel Eriksson, primarily known for his work in tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). The setting blends elements of fantasy, science fiction, and horror, offering a richly detailed world with its own history, cultures, and lore. Karix is often described as a "living world" where players can explore diverse regions, from ancient ruins and sprawling cities to untamed wilderness and otherworldly realms.

The universe of Karix is structured around a series of interconnected books and supplements that expand its lore. The core narrative revolves around the concept of "the Veil," a metaphysical barrier separating the mundane world from the supernatural. This theme is explored through various factions, including the Order of the Veil, a secretive organization dedicated to maintaining balance between the realms. The setting also features mythical creatures, magical artifacts, and a pantheon of gods, each with distinct roles and influences.

Karix has gained popularity through its use in the *Karix: The Living World* role-playing game, which emphasizes player-driven storytelling and immersive world-building. The game system incorporates elements of narrative-driven play, allowing for deep character development and dynamic world interactions. The setting’s flexibility makes it appealing to both casual and experienced gamers, as it can be adapted to various genres and playstyles.

Beyond gaming, Karix has inspired other creative works, including novels, comics, and fan projects. Its intricate world-building and thematic depth have contributed to its lasting appeal among fans of speculative fiction. The universe continues to evolve through new releases and community contributions, ensuring its relevance in modern storytelling.
