Take up the Shield. Know the realm. Build a character who belongs.
The Knight's Companion is the player's guide to Legends of the Ashen Shield, an Arthurian-inspired 5th Edition fantasy trilogy set in the realm of Avalouria.
Designed for use alongside the trilogy's three campaign books - The Gathering Storm, The Rise of the Black Lion, and The Lion's Shadow - this companion volume gives players everything they need to step into the world with confidence. It supports both first-level beginnings and tenth-level Book Three starts, helping players create characters rooted in Avalouria's knightly orders, ancient factions, haunted marshes, lost oaths and looming wars.
Inside you will find:
- The Realm of Avalouria
- The Call to Knighthood
- Peoples of the Realm
- Classes, Subclasses, and Heroic Paths
- Backgrounds, Oaths, and Bonds
- Factions and Allegiances
- Session Zero Guidance
- Player Characters of the Ashen Shield
- Equipment, Relics, and Knightly Rewards
- Spells and Rites
- Playing the Campaign Well
- Legacy and the Endgame
- Tables, Names, and Quick References
This is not a Dungeon Master's guide. It does not reveal the campaign's secrets, hidden motives, or final truths. It is a practical, player-facing handbook for creating characters who have something to protect, something to fear, and somewhere they came from.
The Knight's Companion is ideal for players who want:
- A clear introduction to Avalouria
- Character options shaped by Arthurian fantasy
- Guidance on knights, witches, dragons, ghosts and ancient magic
- Backgrounds and bonds that tie characters into the trilogy
- Faction knowledge safe for players to read
- Session Zero support
- Player-facing spells, relics and campaign advice
- A stronger sense of legacy before the final battle arrives
Legends of the Ashen Shield is not only about winning battles. It is about honour, cost, loyalty, sacrifice and what remains after the storm has passed.
This book helps players stand ready when the Shield is placed in their hands.
