Sihtria

Sihtria is a fictional universe created by the Swedish author and game designer Johan Andersson, primarily known for his work in tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). The setting is a richly detailed, high-fantasy world that blends medieval-inspired cultures, deep lore, and intricate political systems. Introduced in Andersson’s 2015 game *Sihtria: The Game*, the universe has since expanded through supplementary materials, including rulebooks, sourcebooks, and novels.

The world of Sihtria is divided into several major regions, each with distinct climates, histories, and societies. Central to the setting is the continent of **Eldros**, home to diverse civilizations such as the noble **Vaelith**, the mystical **Dwarves**, and the nomadic **Wildborn**. The continent is also marked by ancient ruins, forgotten gods, and lingering magical energies, reflecting its long and tumultuous past. Political power is often contested among kingdoms, guilds, and secretive orders, with themes of legacy, betrayal, and survival shaping its narrative.

Sihtria’s lore is deeply rooted in its mythos, featuring deities, legendary heroes, and prophecies that influence its inhabitants. The setting emphasizes player-driven storytelling, encouraging characters to shape their own destinies within a world where magic, technology, and tradition coexist. The game’s mechanics are designed to facilitate immersive role-playing, with a focus on character depth and world interaction.

Beyond the core game, Sihtria has been explored through novels, such as *The Blood of Eldros* and *The Last King*, which expand on its history and major conflicts. These works delve into the struggles of its people, from wars between nations to personal quests for power and redemption. The universe’s appeal lies in its blend of grandeur and complexity, offering players and readers a vast, living world to explore.

Sihtria remains a notable example of modern TTRPG world-building, praised for its attention to detail and its ability to inspire creative storytelling. Its influence extends beyond tabletop games, attracting interest from fans of fantasy literature and media.
