We’re officially one week into the campaign, and we want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has backed Imaria: Beyond the Veil so far!
New Adventure in This Campaign: From the Tomes of the Elder Dragon
One of the biggest additions in this campaign is the new adventures that expand the world of Imaria beyond the original release.
At the dawn of Imaria's creation, the Elder Dragons guided young civilizations, their immense power tempered by a devotion to nurture rather than rule. For an age, they watched over mortals, their wisdom as vast as the skies they soared.
But when an otherworldly war threatened to consume reality itself, the Elder Dragons gave everything to protect it. Their clash against the invaders shattered the heavens, and though they prevailed, their kind was nearly lost to time. Most faded into legend, their names whispered only in forgotten tongues.
While most have faded into legend, their great sacrifices still ripple across time itself. Many are now deceased, but a scant few live on in the in the Elder Blades—fang-forged artifacts infused with their undying spirit, waiting to be claimed by those worthy of their power. Those that did survive still slumber in the hidden corners of the world, their dreams shaping the fate of those who dare to wander too close.
Now, the power of these ancient guardians stirs once more. Their essence has been captured in dragon scale dice, each set forged from fragments of an Elder Dragon’s soul. Will you be the one to awaken their might?
From the Tomes of the Elder Dragon is a gripping adventure shaped by the echoes of Elder Dragons. Penned by a collection of skilled guest writers, every story promises a fresh, exhilarating journey filled with secrets, peril, and the untold magic.

A Quick Clarification for Original Kickstarter Backers
We’ve seen a few questions from people who supported the original Imaria Kickstarter, so we want to quickly reiterate:
This is not a relaunch of the original Kickstarter
Original backers do not need to pledge again

Anyone who pledges within the first hour of the campaign will have the Mana Weaving Pin added to their pledge for free! The Power of Mana in Imaria
The Mana Weaving Pin represents one of the fundamental forces that shapes the world of Imaria.
Magic has played a central role in shaping Imaria. It has influenced not only the course of history and the geographical landscape, but also the very essence of its peoples, like the zayan-kuu, who wield strange powers and hold secrets hidden in the depths of their lineage.
The skytouched are arcane incarnate, born directly of magic. Born from mystical mana, the anthropomorphic niimals are a blend of humanoid and beast, ranging from the tiny leporine to the towering ursine.
The Veil opens tomorrow!
Be ready at 10 AM EST if you want the Mana Weaving Pin added to your pledge.
