What Is Heroes of Tara

You step into a living myth shaped by iron, honor, and impossible promises. Inside this world you find:

Crossed swords icon

Three New Classes Born from Irish Legend

Headhunters who bind fate by trophies, Charioteers who turn war into motion, Cunning traders who thrive inside a cashless barter economy.

Crystal ball icon

Nine Subclasses

That twist these archetypes into stranger shapes, each one shaped by the land, the tribes, and the Sidhe who watch from behind the veil.

Compass icon

Eighteen New Tribes

Every one built with cultural detail, regional flavor, and mechanical depth that forces you to play like someone raised in this world.

Guarded tower icon

Four New Skills

Each tied to lived experience and historical craft, bringing authenticity to character development.

Crossed swords icon

Thirty or More New Feats

All steeped in early Irish law, warfare, hospitality, and the brutal consequences of breaking either.

Crystal ball icon

Nine Backgrounds

That feel carved from peat and story, not printed on a dry character sheet.

Compass icon

A Full Geasa System

Binding characters with magical taboos that shape destiny. No soft edges. If you break a geas, the story breaks back.

Guarded tower icon

Curses with Real Meaning

Not nuisances. These curses bleed into the narrative, shift alliances, and warp fate.
