Tabletop Game / Ea

Go To

The world of Ea is a tabletop setting made primarily using the Pathfinder Tabletop Game. The setting was written and created by Jacob Wrightsman or "Jatubs".

The two main and fleshed out continents of the world on Ea are Corexus [1] and Zheng-Kitar [2].

The world of Ea is a fantasy world that was once ruled by High Humanity, a form of humanity that was highly advanced technologically that formed a galactic empire. Due to a war between High Humanity, High Lamia (A race of omni-devouring snake women that sought to eat all life in the universe), and the Gods that created the various planes of existence, the High Human Empire was wiped out on the planet of Ea.

Since the fall of High Humanity many of the various "high races" such as orcs, humans, dwarves, elves, vampires, and lamia, began to disappear for various reasons that can almost certainly always be tracked to being high humanity's fault somehow. Alongside these disappearances of more magically inclined races as well as more powerful magic there are also old ruins that show off the terrors and the marvels High Humanity had achieved from leaky nuclear power plants to Genetically modified super soldiers that have since been turned into feral monsters, also a Genocidal A.I. that lives on the moon plotting to create a pseudo-robot God that will seek to destroy all life on Ea and possibly attempt to become a god itself.

The tropes that will be posted on this page will be related primarily to articles written about the various settings on Wrightsman's World Anvil on the planet Ea and the adventures of the players who have played in Jacob's games.


The game provides examples of:

  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Incumbent Resolve was an A.I. created to defend High Humanity from an alien invasion on the Planet of Ea. Since their fall it has been working on rebuilding the old High Human infrastructure in the various flying cities across Ea in a bid to unite all of High Humanity into a single collective consciousness and destroy all of non-high humanity that refuses to fall in line, lives on a moon base with the only computer in the Solar System big enough to house his growing intelligence and file size, and also has a side project of building a Robotic God that could in theory channel divine Energy like that of an actual deity.
  • Our Orcs Are Different: The Orcs of Ea are very different than their base Pathfinder versions, the Orcs are often formed into various different clans or tribes that seem to have some level of connection to their High Orc Ancestors that often give them some kind of martial advantage in the form of stronger defenses or more powerful options for offense. Examples include the Fireaxe Tribe and thier resistance to Fire Damage and the ability to give their weapons the Flaming quality for a short period of time.
  • Standard Fantasy Races: You got Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, and humans as your most common races across the continent of Corexus, however the trope is heavily subverted as well with a number of non-standard races such as lamia, various races of giant, and magical golem cyborgs.
