Calythera has been under construction for a long time, and most of it happens out of sight. This page is where it stands — what's open now, what lands next, and what's still being built.
We date the things we can keep. Everything else is in order, not on a schedule.
The world read aloud, against the sound of itself — a city, a system, the people living inside it, one episode at a time.
Episode One and all four trailers are live — listen on the podcast page.
Beyond the podcast, two more ways into the world.
Every city, district, aether vein and faction in the official record — ninety-plus entries and more each week. Start anywhere; the world rewards wandering.
Open the Wiki →Where the world gets argued about. Episode talk, lore questions, and the tabletop game taking shape in public as we build it.
Join the Discord →Calythera is built to be played as well as heard — a full setting with its own classes, races and equipment, where the gear you carry advances and degrades and has to be kept working.
Three stages, in this order. We'll put dates on them when we can keep them.
Combat, weapons and armor systems. The introductory one-shot is entering playtest at our own table.
A full player handbook — classes, races, equipment, and the rules holding them together.
Roll20 support, so tables can run Calythera online.
New episodes, one-shots, and everything else Arcane Anvil builds gets announced here first.
