Welcome to the second part of the Nocturne Realm trilogy

What’s in store for you? Get ready
In the second part of the trilogy – after the death of the great Khan, the world of Aerathain trembles on the brink of a great civil war. Only the bravest heroes will be able to travel to the heart of the Lammungrad Khanate – the realm of the Orcs.
A new chapter unfolds in the scorching desert, where the heroes must reach Thrak’Zul, the capital, where the two heirs, Thokmur Ironheart and Zarkhan Bloodfist, are engaged in a fierce struggle for the throne, encounter harsh and mysterious lands, deal with the intrigues of orcs, and find allies against Mentrix, a force that can tear apart the very universe!
But beware, my brave friend! This book has its own rules – it’s made for those who love freedom and are willing to fight for it, who crave atmosphere and are ready to fully immerse themselves in an adventure right at the gaming table! You will have to make a choice among tough challenges, ancient traditions and political intrigue, where honor is measured in blood! The fate of the khanate will depend only on you, be vigilant!
Oops…I forgot to introduce myself. To your attention Mr. Sereyrathana is a keen D&D player with a chronic passion for creating weird, wonderful and slightly insane worlds. I love 5E, steampunk, and anything that elicits a “WHAT was that?” from players.
Customizing worlds, making up laws, and…. and sometimes turn my sponsors into mysterious NPCs of questionable repute. All in the name of fun, of course! And I’m here to fill your life with action, adventure, and…something else dangerous!

Almost forgot to mention it… oops! But yes, it’s definitely something you want to know, right?
I’ve been a big fan of DriveThruRPG for quite some time now. It’s an amazing platform that lets both independent and established creators distribute, sell, and even print their work. To keep things simple, I’ll be using DriveThruRPG to deliver all digital content just 2 weeks after the campaign ends.
About the print editions:
Thanks to DriveThruRPG, getting your hands on a physical copy has never been easier -no hassle at all.
📦 Estimated delivery:
Since this campaign offers both digital and print versions, you’ll receive all your digital files first – no waiting around!
How Printing & Shipping works
DriveThruRPG uses a different payment system than most online stores, which might seem a bit confusing if it’s your first time using it. But don’t worry – it’s actually quite straightforward:
✅ You pay for the book’s royalties right here on Kickstarter.
✅ Once the campaign wraps up, you’ll get a link to place your print order on DriveThruRPG.
✅ At checkout on DriveThruRPG, you’ll cover:
- The printing cost for the hardcover edition (currently about €9).
- Shipping fees, which vary depending on your location and shipping choice. (If you’re ordering multiple books from different creators, you can combine them in one order on DriveThruRPG to save on shipping.)
For customers in North America, Australia, or the EU, shipping costs are very reasonable.
Why this system?
While it may feel a little different, it’s designed to make the process smooth and affordable for everyone.
🚀 Faster delivery: You enter your address directly on DriveThruRPG, reducing the chance of delivery mistakes.
💰 Fair pricing: No inflated shipping fees – you pay the actual cost based on where you are.
🌟 High quality: Receive gorgeous, full-color hardcover books (and softcover for addons) at a fraction of the usual price.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid flat-rate shipping fees and address mix-ups, you’ll handle shipping payment and enter your delivery details yourself on DriveThruRPG after the campaign ends. This way, you get the best possible price and a hassle-free delivery experience!
Why back this project?
Because you’re not just getting a book – you’re stepping into a fully fleshed-out world that grows with you.
Because this is part two of a trilogy that began with Shards of Souls – and the story only gets deeper, stranger, and more personal from here.
Because you want:
- Maps
- Lore
- Dangerous freedom
- And stories that make your players gasp at the table
Two brothers! One throne! Your move!
