Mistara

Mistara is a fictional fantasy setting used in tabletop role-playing games and related media. It offers a richly developed world with diverse regions, peoples, and political systems. The lore has been expanded by multiple authors and publishers, leading to variation in details across sources.

Mistara features a main landmass surrounded by seas and archipelago chains. Its regions range from mist-shrouded highlands and temperate woodlands to deserts and volcanic zones. Civilizations include human realms, elven kingdoms, dwarven holds, and other races. Political structures span from feudal kingdoms to mercantile republics and city-state federations. Magic and science mingle in cities where mage towers and academies coexist with guilds and caravans.

Magic is a central element drawn from various traditions and patrons. Religious life is diverse, with numerous deities, cults, and temples shaping local customs and broader geopolitics. Artifacts of ancient civilizations frequently influence current events, fueling exploration and conquest.

Across its sources Mistara presents cycles of rise and fall, with long-vanished empires leaving ruins and forgotten technologies. Conflicts often arise from competing claims to magic, territory, or relics. Because Mistara has been developed by different authors, canonical details differ between publications.

Mistara serves as a framework for fantasy role-playing adventures. It supports exploration, diplomacy, warfare, and intrigue, with adaptable rulesets. The setting is used in both official modules and community-created content, and is commonly integrated into home campaigns.
