You don’t notice the breaking while it happens. You just wake up one day, and the world is no longer there..
The Age of Ash and Blood has reshaped the world into a nightmarish shadow. The world is bleeding, and the hunt for salvation has only just begun.
One sip from Lethe’s waters, and the world forgets you, but what does it mean to be truly forgotten?
A soul is never more fragile than on the day it entered the world, and so survivors light the fire, speak the name, and hold the line against the dark.
There was a time when hope kept people alive. Now, it slowly unravels them.
An ancient record of the world’s most fundamental truths. A myth claimed by all and a key to the impossible.
In the fractured world, a strange manifesto appears, calling for unity, sacrifice, and the mending of reality.
In the final war, reality fractured, hope became a blade, and a broken world was born from ashes and shadows.
They offer everything and take only what you are ready to lose.
There are moments when the world splits with a whisper of power breaking a final oath. The Salem Ritual was that whisper turned scream, a spell meant to end an ancient evi. Instead, it ended the world.
The Zenith Star - a rare celestial flame that feels almost sentient - ignites the sky every seven years, offering a fleeting moment of clarity in a world drowning in chaos.
A condition born of hunger, magic, and the lies of abundance.
