Heroes of Zoontalis is an anthropomorphic 5th Edition role-playing game set in the vibrant, mythic world of Zoontalis — a realm shaped by ancient gods, fractured magic, and the awakening of animal folk who now fight to protect their lands from the lingering shadow of the Dark One. Adventures unfold across lush meadows, vast kingdoms, shifting cave-cities, and the corrupted edges of the Dark Kingdom, where danger and legend walk side by side.
Available through a monthly subscription on MyMiniFactory Tribes, as well as through Kickstarter and this website.
From its earliest days, Zoontalis was a paradise shaped by Florauna, the All-Mother, who filled the world with harmony, life, and natural splendour. That peace shattered with the arrival of Malefornum, the Dark One, whose corrupting presence twisted beasts and blighted the land. To save her creation, Florauna made the ultimate sacrifice: she fractured her divine essence, creating the benevolent Guardians and releasing powerful magic that awakened the animals to sentience, courage, and destiny. Malefornum fractured in turn, birthing the malevolent Harbingers, and together these new gods reshaped the world—light radiating from the Holy Gate of the North, darkness coalescing into the sinister Dark Kingdom.
Now, in the present Time of Heroism, Zoontalis stands at a crossroads: guilds clash and unite in equal measure, corruption stirs once more, and new champions rise to defend their world. Whether these heroes usher in lasting unity or an age of renewed destruction remains the great unanswered question of this age.
