Open Game License

Eldriloch is copyrighted. The game rules in its spell descriptions are not: they are adapted from the System Reference Document, which Wizards of the Coast published as Open Game Content under the Open Game License, version 1.0a. The license requires that its full text be included with any work that uses that content. Here it is.

Copyright, Open Game Content and Product Identity

Copyright. The Eldriloch Player's Reference, the world of Eldriloch, and all of its names, places, peoples, history, lore, organizations, classes, races, rules and text written for it, and all of its art, maps and design, are copyright © 2026 David Cox. All rights reserved.

Open Game Content. The game rules reproduced from the System Reference Document in the spell descriptions (Flux Spells: A–C, D–H, I–P, R–Z; Aether Spells: A–C, D–F, G–L, M–P, Q–S, T–W) are Open Game Content under the Open Game License below. They are not claimed by this copyright, and you may use them under the terms of that license.

Product Identity. In accordance with Section 1(e) of the license, everything in the Eldriloch Player's Reference other than that Open Game Content is designated Product Identity and is not Open Game Content. That includes the name Eldriloch; the names, histories and descriptions of its nations, places, peoples, races, classes, organizations, characters, deities and events; terms such as aether web, flux, fibrolite, glim, currents, exspiratis, ashen, runekar, malumtene, souldriven, the Covenant and the Sunder, including where they appear inside the adapted spell descriptions; and all artwork, maps, logos and page design.
