The Library of Dreamth, 1820

Victorian cosmic rot, Maddening survival

The world has been subsumed by the Libido, a realm of recycled nightmares and literary echoes inspired by Alice in Wonderland and Lovecraftian dread. In the rotting urban sprawl of London's dream-reflection, the sane struggle to maintain their humanity while Alice's influence and the Great Ones warp the very fabric of existence. Survival is not just physical; it is a battle against the inevitable descent into 'Madness' or 'Hollow' status.

World premise

A playable world seed with consequences.

The London of Dreams is a choked, gaslit necropolis where the soot is made of cremated memories and the Thames flows with ink. In the waning days of November 1820, the boundaries between the waking world and the Libido have dissolved entirely, leaving survivors trapped within the shifting geometry of the Library. You find yourself in a dense urban quarter where the air tastes of copper and old paper, survival dictated by your ability to hoard Souls and avoid the gaze of the Red Queen's Cheshire-grinned lackeys. Here, the immediate social pressure is not just for bread, but for the very essence of your identity before the 'Hollow' rot claims what is left of your mind.

The fog in the London of Dreams is thickening, turning everyday navigation into a lethal gamble with one's sanity.

Local gangs of Hollowed are gathering near the Tethered Docks, waiting for a shipment that isn't supposed to exist.

The Knights of the Round are conducting a census of the 'Unfilled,' looking for specific souls to burn in the Great Library's furnaces.

You have five souls left in your pocket; enough for a warm meal and a locked door, or a single rusted weapon to find more.

1775 The Serf's Burden, 1775

The year is 1775. Deep within the Russian Empire lies a quiet farming village where life has changed little for generations. As a serf, your fate is tied to the land and to the noble who owns it. Every sunrise begins with hard labor in the fields, every harvest determines whether your family survives the winter, and every order from the estate must be obeyed without question. Far away, the Enlightenment transforms Europe. Philosophers speak of liberty, reason, and the rights of man, while Empress Catherine II introduces reforms that rarely reach the countryside. In the village, rumors travel with merchants, priests, and wandering soldiers, but hunger, taxes, and obligation remain stronger than distant ideals. This is a world of ordinary people. Build friendships with neighbors, earn the trust of the village elder, navigate the demands of the landlord, and decide whether to accept the life you were born into—or quietly dream of something more.
