HAG launches Watch site & continued cleanup

Aug. 4, 2026

Recordings will move to watch.hiraeth.wiki as spells, subclasses and other resources receive setting-focused updates.

The Hiraeth Adventuring Guild is moving its video and audio recordings from a third-party hosting service to its own PeerTube instance at watch.hiraeth.wiki.

PeerTube is an open-source video platform. Operating our own instance gives HAG greater control over how campaign recordings are organized, presented and preserved.

The main Rebels of Eschatia recording archive is now available on the new instance. A small number of remaining recording fragments will be recovered and added as they become available. New campaign recordings will be added to PeerTube moving forward.

The previous host will remain available, but new recordings will not be stored there long term.

Recording access and privacy

Recordings are available only to people with accounts on the HAG PeerTube instance. The instance is not federated, meaning its recordings are not shared with or distributed through other PeerTube servers.

Players can request an account through their private One-on-One Discord channel.

The PeerTube player provides an audio-only playback option for listeners who do not need video. Captions and chapter markers will be added as our recording and publication process develops.

Bringing spell lore home to Hiraeth

We are also preparing a naming and flavor-text review of the Athenaeum Aetherius: Compendium of Arcane Grimoires.

The review identified 93 entries containing names or descriptions inherited from settings outside Hiraeth, more might be out there. These include character names associated with Greyhawk and the Forgotten Realms, places from Eberron, references to other D&D worlds and creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos.

The proposed changes would give those spells descriptive or Hiraeth-specific identities. The full proposal appears below.

These changes are not final. The proposed spell names are being shared for player review and have not yet been published. This is a lore and presentation project; spell mechanics are not expected to change.

Proposed flavor-text revisions

The following spells would retain their current titles, but references to outside settings in their descriptions would be replaced:

• Blade of Disaster: Remove its reference to Faerûn.
• Dream of the Blue Veil: Replace Oerth, Toril, Krynn and Eberron with “another mortal world known to the caster.”
• Plane Shift: Replace the City of Brass and Dispater with Hiraeth-compatible planar examples.
• Semblance of Dread: Replace Nyarlathotep with imagery associated with Waymaker or Narfars.
• Summon Avatar: Replace its four Cthulhu Mythos avatars with the proposed Hiraeth versions.
• Wish: Replace Sigil and the Lady of Pain with a limit grounded in Hiraeth’s cosmology.

Names such as Hecate, Nyx, Morana, Bethtox, Guin, Hypatia, Winrich and Gaer are not included in this cleanup because they already have established places in Hiraeth’s lore.

Spell levels, casting times, ranges, damage, saving throws and other mechanics are not expected to change as part of this pass.

The proposed names remain under review. Players will have an opportunity to share their thoughts before any changes are published.

Subclass titles updated

Several subclass titles have already been revised to remove setting-specific terminology or distinguish options that previously shared a title.

Previous title	Current title
Purple Dragon Knight	Banneret
Watcher on the Wall	Frontier Watcher
Way of the Cobalt Soul	Way of the Inquiring Hand
Smuggler — vehicle-focused subclass	Arcane Smuggler
Oath of the Magistrati	Oath of the Sacred Ars

The separate, non-vehicle Smuggler subclass retains the title Smuggler.

These are catalog and lore changes. The subclasses’ game mechanics remain unchanged.

The Banneret page also received new Hiraeth-focused lore. “Banneret” is a catalog term rather than a universal title within the setting. Depending on their culture and position, someone filling that role might instead be called a knight-captain, standard-bearer, marshal, proxy, envoy or another appropriate title.

Other recent updates

The past two months have also brought several additions to HAG’s player resources:

• The spell library now provides searchable access to 1,842 spells through the Spell Search page. The library also received improved tags and a completed first-pass cantrip review.
• Two creature-reference appendices now provide 115 familiar and summoned-creature stat blocks. Links have been added to 55 spells that use those creatures.
• The HAG Ancestry System v4 is available for playtesting, with expanded ancestry, lineage and regional heritage options. It is not complete, and we are looking for feedback on its overall shape and approach.
• The Rebels of Eschatia archive now includes sessions through Session 19, “Silver in the Drain.”
• The interactive Hiraeth map received additional artwork and location updates, including refreshed artwork for Astrousia.

These projects share a common goal: making HAG’s resources easier to find, easier to understand and more firmly grounded in Hiraeth.

Share your thoughts

Players are invited to review the proposed spell names and tell us:

• Which replacements feel right?
• Which names need more work?
• Which spells would benefit from descriptive titles instead of connections to Hiraeth figures?
• Are any familiar names worth retaining as table shorthand?

General feedback can be replied to in the comments of this post. Players may also share feedback privately through their One-on-One Discord channel.

PeerTube account requests should be made through your One-on-One channel.
