About Us

The Trade Winds Merchant Consortium is the official storefront for Tales of Khassid, an original fantasy tabletop roleplaying setting created by Darnell Coates and published under the name Aelorian Press.

Khassid began with a simple idea: build a fantasy world that feels lived in.

Not just a collection of kingdoms, gods, monsters, and character options, but a place shaped by history, culture, faith, disaster, ambition, trade, weather, memory, and the people trying to rebuild after all of it.

That world has grown into sourcebooks, adventures, player options, rules systems, lore, maps, and other resources designed to give players and Game Masters more than mechanics alone. The goal is to create material that invites exploration, rewards curiosity, and gives every table room to make Khassid its own.

Aelorian Press is currently an independent publishing effort led by Darnell Coates. From worldbuilding and game design to editing, layout, storefront development, and publication, Tales of Khassid is being built deliberately and piece by piece.

Some visual artwork used throughout Tales of Khassid is created with generative artificial intelligence and may be further directed, selected, edited, composited, or refined as part of the production process. We believe in being clear about that rather than leaving customers to guess.

The Trade Winds Merchant Consortium exists to make Khassid easy to explore. Some materials are offered freely, while others expand the setting with new adventures, character options, rules, and deeper looks into the world.

Whether you are here to run a campaign, build a character, read the lore, or simply wander through a new world for a while, you are welcome.

Welcome to Khassid.
