THE WORLD / IN DEVELOPMENT
Across kingdoms, forests, and ancient coastlines, a shadow spreads from the sea.
Armies stand against creatures that should not exist. Forgotten beliefs stir. And in places where the wind falls silent and the waters cease to move, an unsettling calm announces that something ancient has returned.
Yet this is a world of life, wonder, and hope. Its people have homes to defend, traditions to preserve, and futures worth fighting for.
DISCOVER THE WORLDAN OMEN FROM THE DEEP
The winds die.
The animals fall silent.
Waves settle into an unnatural stillness.
Even magic may begin to behave strangely.
Sailors have whispered of such moments for generations, dismissing them as superstition. But as the darkness spreads, the phenomenon known as Dark Serenity becomes impossible to ignore.
It is a peace that should not exist. And it seldom arrives alone.
THE FOUR REGIONS / PLANNED SETTING
Each region faces the growing invasion in its own way. Discover the cultures, traditions, and places that make this world worth protecting.
Where the sea brings prosperity and peril.
A prosperous seafaring kingdom built upon fishing, trade, and hard-earned resilience. Its people value contribution over inherited privilege, and renowned ship captains earn a standing comparable to nobility.
Ruled by a King or Queen, the kingdom now faces the horrors emerging from the ocean directly.
Many tribes. One confederation.
Beyond the vulnerable coast lies a confederation of tribes, each retaining its own identity while recognizing a shared leader known as the High Chief.
Distance offers some protection from the sea, but the growing threat reaches far beyond the shoreline.
A kingdom without a permanent capital.
Deep within the forests lives a people whose civilization moves with them rather than remaining bound to a single city.
Closely connected to the natural world and led by a Khan, they confront a threat that spreads beyond the sea and into the living land itself.
The fallen Jewel of the West.
Once a flourishing center of trade, education, and divine authority, the Jewel of the West now stands in ruins.
Its destruction scattered survivors among the surrounding city-states. What remains is a haunting reminder of what the invasion can take from the world.
THE FORCES THAT SHAPE THE WORLD
Magic is woven into the world's traditions, but not all power comes from the same source.
Drawn from a profound connection to the natural world, Nature magic commands the forces of flora, fauna, and the elements.
Mastered through intense study, Arcane magic shapes raw magical energy into force, illumination, and effects that strengthen allies or weaken enemies.
Channeled through a deep connection to a deity or spirit, Faith magic can heal, protect, cure afflictions, and call the downed back from the brink.
FAITH AND THE DIVINE
Across the kingdoms, three creator deities are recognized. Each has distinct domains, symbols, and traditions.
God of Solar
Associated with honor, war, nobility, truth, fire, and fortune.
Sacred symbol: A phoenix carrying a sword in its talons.
Goddess of Twilight
Associated with love, neutrality, fertility, many faces, and elusive appearances.
Sacred symbol: A sleek black feline carrying a lotus in its teeth.
God of Lunar
Associated with intellect, shadows, night, deceit, lies, magic, the unseen, and souls.
Sacred symbol: An owl perched upon his Book of Shadows.
BEYOND THE DARKNESS
Beyond the battles and ancient horrors, life continues.
Taverns offer warmth to weary travelers. Communities hold fast to their traditions. Friendships form in unlikely places, and moments of wonder survive even as the world grows stranger.
Darkness is not the only thing waiting to be discovered.
There is still a world worth saving.
THE JOURNEY AWAITS
The sea is changing. The kingdoms are fighting. And the oldest stories may hold warnings that should never have been forgotten.
Discover the world. Gather your party. Face what lies beneath.
