Start with this walk through
There are over 200 articles, 300 images, 200,000 words and 9 maps in this Raios website. So far. That volume of content is why this walkthrough is important - and helpful! Each link will open in a new tab, to keep your place here for the next. Following it in order will introduce you to the World of Raios, to the range and organization of content here, and to the essential website features for interacting with that content, either as a player or as a GM.
- Skim down the category page of playable Cultures in Raios. There are 22 at initial release, with more coming as we build out more Raios content. Note you can mouse over the culture name links above each image for a detailed pop-up. So far we have character creation rules of player characters for each culture for D&D, Shadowdark, Pathfinder 1E and Pathfinder 2E as well as game-agnostic rules.
- Skim down the summary page of the Nations of Raios, where all those cultures come from. There are 31 at initial release. Note you can mouse over the nation name links above each image for a detailed pop-up.
- See the big picture in the map of the continents of Raios, with map pins you can click on for info. You can zoom the map with mouse or controls in upper left. You can click and drag to move the map around.
- Zoom into the map for Aorlan, our recommended starting location, and use the map filters (in the upper right) to explore Aorlan's dozens of atlas entries. Note you can click on any pin on the map to see a details pane left of the map.
- Try out the search box in the upper right of all pages. Try Dwarf then Orc then Forest then C-5 (a map grid cell). To search for a grid cell, you DO have to include the dash. A popup offers matches from the search box, but there is SOOOO MUCH content here that your best search results will be seen if you hit the ESCAPE key to make the popup go away, and then hit the ENTER key. This will navigate you to a full search results page.
