Imaria: Beyond the Veil is now fully funded, and we want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has already stepped into the world beyond the Veil with us.
Three New Classes in Imaria Imaria also introduces three new classes to expand the possibilities at your table:
The Weavebreaker - charge into battle, wielding the awe-striking power of aioessence
The Aeonsage - transform yourself and bend time in subtle but profound ways to protect the Veil from nightmare incursions.
The Psionicist - project your thoughts across reality and manifest standing amalgamations to fight for you.
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
Your original rewards are unchanged and will still be fulfilled along with rewards from this campaign
This BackerKit campaign gives people who missed the original Kickstarter a final opportunity to access the world of Imaria before the books go to print, while also offering a few additional and optional add-ons for anyone who wants them.

Imaria: Beyond the Veil launches tomorrow at 10 AM EST on BackerKit, and we wanted to highlight one of the early campaign incentives available to backers.
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.
With the launch of Imaria: Beyond the Veil getting closer, we wanted to share something with everyone following the project.
If you follow the campaign on BackerKit, you’ll receive the Imaria World Primer - a free preview that offers a glimpse into the setting before the campaign launches.
This primer introduces some of the core ideas behind the world of Imaria, including the forces that shape it and the kinds of stories you can tell within it.
Inside the primer, you’ll get an early look at:
The world of Imaria, a realm shaped by powerful magical forces and ancient history
The Veil, a mysterious temporal barrier that isolates the world from extraplanar influence
The Four Pillars of Power that define magic and conflict in the setting:
Mana Weaving
Anti-Magic
Psionics
Ethereal Chronomancy
The tone and themes of the setting, where power carries consequences and civilizations rise and fall around it
Imaria is a setting built for long-form play, combining deep lore with new character options, new powers, and adventures that span levels 1-16.
The primer is a great way to start exploring the world before launch.
Ed Greenwood on the World of Imaria Ed had the chance to adventure in the setting and even contribute to its lore. After exploring the world beyond the Veil, he shared a few thoughts about what makes the setting stand out.
Follow the project on BackerKit, and the Imaria World Primer will be delivered directly to you.
We're less than two weeks from launch - Let's talk Incentives first!
Follower Pin If you follow the project before launch, you’ll receive this Antimagic Pin free with your pledge when the campaign goes live.
Returning Backer Pin Backers who supported the original Imaria campaign will receive an Ethereal Chronomancy Pin as a thank-you for helping bring the world of Imaria to life.
First Hour Backer Pin Back the campaign within the first hour of launch to unlock this special Mana Weaving Pin.
First 48 Hour Backer Pin Backers who join the campaign within the first 48 hours will receive this Psionic Influence Pin.
We also wanted to show off the Metal Dragon Scale Dice Collection.
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. Most faded into legend, their names whispered only in forgotten tongues.
These dice sets draw inspiration from those ancient beings.
With the Metal Dragon Scale Collection: From the Tomes of the Elder Dragon, will you:
Channel the wisdom of Amber
Manipulate time with Sapphire
Commune with souls using Amethyst
Control the elements with Diamond
Embrace the dark power of Jet
Nurture life with Emerald
Harness mana with Ruby
Unlock the secrets with Opal
We’ll be sharing more details about the campaign soon! In the meantime, make sure you’re following the project so you’ll be notified the moment the campaign launches.
