World premise

A playable world seed with consequences.

Wanshi Village lies under the shadow of the Lotus Guild, a lawful faction that promises protection in exchange for grain, labor, and silence. The year is 312, and the spring thaw has come late, leaving the fields thin and the storehouses low. The Guild's local agent, a man named Chen, has already announced the harvest quota will be met—no exceptions. The village council, led by the elder Mei, walks a careful line between appeasing the Guild and keeping the village from starving. Every household feels the squeeze: debts are called in, favors are traded, and the black market offers a dangerous breath of relief. You are part of this village, bound by its customs and its debts, and the coming weeks will test how far you can bend before you break.

Rising hardship is tightening daily margins across Lotus Guild Territories within the Lawful Faction's purview, uncontested, safe..

Local exploration pressures are reshaping who can take risks and who cannot.

Authority, rumor, and household expectation are all moving faster than comfort allows.

Movement offers opportunity, but every outward step carries visible risk.

Village Square

The packed-earth heart of Wanshi, where labor assignments are called out, debts are publicly tallied, and the Guild's shadow falls over every conversation.

Guild Depot

A stout timber warehouse where the harvest is weighed, taxed, and recorded. The depot is the economic pulse of the village, but every bushel that enters the Guild's ledger is a bushel that cannot feed a family.

East Lane

A cramped lane of wattle-and-daub homes, where households double up, debts are whispered over cooking fires, and the weight of the coming quota presses on every roof.

A single-story building of dark brick, the office of the Guild's local agent. It houses the scrolls of law, the tax rolls, and the enforcers who make a quiet threat out of a polite question.

Common House

A low timber hall where the village council meets, festivals are held, and disputes are settled — always under the watchful ear of those who report to the Guild.

North Road

A rutted track winding north through terraced fields toward other villages — and, further on, the Guild's regional seat. It is a road of possibility, danger, and the unknown.

A magical alternate Earth, 1337

In a 1337 where humanity is but one of many sapient lineages—alongside the matriarchal Elephant-kin, the seafaring Dolphin-tribes, and the nomadic Corvid-clans—the world is defined by high-medieval survival. Lethal Aether-storms sweep the Ravaged Frontier, birthing warped monsters and shifting the landscape. Magic is rare and dangerous, seen as a burden of the 'Touch-gifted' who must guide their kin through a wilderness that is as sentient as it is hostile.

The Waking City, 2026

Modern New York is a city where magic is real, rare, difficult, valuable, and quietly integrated into society. Magic has no single universal system. It responds to disciplined ways of interpreting reality: ritual, science, law, art, faith, technology, crime, or business. As the city reaches critical symbolic density, the line between a legal contract and a binding ritual has dissolved, and the pressure of eight million competing ambitions is causing the mundane world to buckle.

The Bulwark of Oakhaven, 1242

In a medieval world where magic flows like unseen currents beneath the earth, and where ancient beings still whisper in forgotten tongues, the frontier town of Oakhaven stands as the kingdom’s first—and often only—line of defense. Perched along the rugged borderlands known as the Iron Marches, Oakhaven lies directly in the path of recurring incursions of demonic beasts from the Ashen Veil. Now, the threat has evolved: the mindless hordess have become observant, probing defenses with a chilling, newfound intelligence.
