Fáilte! Welcome to Palannia, a place of wonder, intrigue, and adventure!

Long ago, the wise King Breannas led his people across the Milky Way to the shores of Tír na nÓg. Here, time and terrain are like shifting sands. Many is the foolish adventurer who has stumbled upon the fóidín mearaí and wandered for years in delirium. What’s in store for you? From the delights of Gleann Gáireach to the dark groves of Coill na gCailleach, treasures, trials, and tribulation await!

Fantasy roleplaying inspired by Gaelic culture…

gaelQuest is a family of related fantasy games in development and designed to foster language learning. As you explore the realms of Palannia and play the part of an adventurer (or the Seanchaí), the typical steps of playing a tabletop RPG or card game — learning the rules, creating a character, and joining quests with other players — are complimented and enriched by the introduction of Irish words and phrases.

Fame and fortune await!

Cad is ainm duit? Who are you and where do you come from? The realms of Palannia are filled with saints and scholars, fianna, filí, and fathaigh, not to mention the occasional bean sí, fear dearg, or leipreachán. There’s no telling who you’ll meet or what dangers you’ll face along the way!
