Lore document: a cozy fantasy farming game
Setting
Hollowmere is a valley lake that breathes. Each spring the Thaw raises the water and drowns the low fields; each autumn the Ebb pulls it back and uncovers old ruins, shells and seeds. Villagers farm on terraces and floating rafts, and the year is planned around the lake rather than the sun.
History in brief: two hundred years ago the valley was dry, ruled by the city of Merrow. The city dammed the river to grow rich, the dam cracked, and the lake swallowed Merrow in one night. Survivors built the village of Hollow on the hills above. Nobody has dived to the old city in living memory — until now.
Factions
| Faction | Wants | Fears | Player's role |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Terrace Guild | Stable harvests and keeping the old ways | Change; outsiders "stirring the lake" | Main source of farming quests and tools |
| The Raft Folk | Freedom to move with the water; trade with the city downriver | Being pushed off the good shores | Sell rare goods, unlock boat upgrades |
| The Keepers of Merrow | To raise the sunken city's relics and learn why the dam failed | That the truth will blame their own ancestors | Lead the diving storyline |
Key characters
- Ada Fenwick, Guild elder — kind but stubborn; lost her brother to a Thaw flood. Motive: protect the village at any cost.
- Juno Reed, Raft Folk trader — cheerful, always a deal ready; secretly sends money to family downriver. Motive: buy her own boat.
- Brother Cal, Keeper — quiet scholar who found a Merrow diary. Motive: prove the flood was not an accident.
Quest outline: "What the Ebb Gave Back"
- Autumn, week 1: the Ebb uncovers a stone door near your farm. Ada wants it reburied.
- Week 2: Juno offers to trade a diving bell part for 20 lake lilies.
- Week 3: Cal decodes a symbol on the door: the mark of Merrow's dam engineers.
- Choice: open the door now (Cal's way) or wait for Guild approval (Ada's way). Each path changes who helps you in winter.
- Reward: first dive unlocked; a new crop, drowned barley, that grows only underwater.
Lore rules (to keep it consistent)
- The lake never rises outside the Thaw; any "sudden flood" in a story must have a cause
- No magic spells; wonder comes from nature and old engineering
- Merrow's people are never pure villains — they built the dam to end a famine
Client: a two-person indie studio. Game: Hollowmere, a cozy farming and exploration game for PC and Switch. Their idea: "farming on a lake where the water level changes with the seasons."

About this service
Homebrew for D&D 5e is only fun if it survives the table: a subclass that outshines everyone, a spell with no clear range or a monster with the wrong challenge rating can derail a whole session. We write original classes, subclasses, spells, magic items and monsters in standard 5e format with stat blocks, keeping numbers in line with official benchmarks for their level or CR and noting design choices for the DM. Everything is written for the System Reference Document under its open licence, without protected names, monsters or settings.

Questions and answers
Can I publish it on DMs Guild?
You can use the text as your own. DMs Guild has its own content rules, so read them before publishing there; for other stores, the SRD licence applies.
Can you use monsters from official books?
Only those in the SRD. Protected creatures and setting names are not used, but we can create original ones in a similar role.
Will the balance be perfect?
We check numbers against official benchmarks, but every table plays differently. Playtest and adjust with your group.
