  • False Hope’s finest creation was not one of flesh. Rather, this strange amalgam of torture, surgery, clockwork and blood magic is its laboratory of choice and it is perhaps the foulest place in all creation. Inside, the creature-machine that is False Hope goes about its horrid work and contemplates the state of the world its twisted mind envisions. All its collected knowledge and a good portion of its power lies in this place, but there is no one and nothing else that could ever hope to defile or distort the pocket dimension False Hope calls Future’s Form.

  • The metal soldier charged towards the fat dwarf, an action that forced the flanking dwarves hands and pulled them towards him with the hopes of collapsing his flank. Seeing their thick hammers rising for a synchronized strike, Sentinel Five swept his sword-arm low and horizontally across his path. The sword swipe was so sudden, yet so strong and fluid, the dwarven warriors immediately dropped the heads of their hammers to block the vicious cut. The moment the dwarf to Sentinel's left lowered his hammer, the steel soldier raised his free hand level with his foe's face. A spring-loaded dagger jumped from his wrist and sank into the dwarf's skull.

  • Deep within the mountains and ice of Nyraeve, an ancient and malevolent intelligence has lain in torpor for centuries. Only its crystalline “tendrils”, small semi-intelligent parts of itself, may venture out into the light. The stirrings and warmth of the humans that began their exploration of its prison have awakened the creature.

  • The planet Nyraeve is a frigid ball of ice and rock located in the far reaches of known space. Though its equatorial band is Earth-like enough to sustain life, its harsh conditions and distance from the core planets make it of little interest to serve as a colony. A small team of scientists were sent to catalogue Nyraeve's flora and fauna, nobody expected that anything more would develop on the backwater world.

Two of these plants, the mehen berries and hearthfruit, are associated with a rare parasite known as the hungerworm.

  • Few survived the onslaught of Neriave’s vengeance upon the hunting village of Rekoh. Tales of the Black Night are terse, the descriptions heavy with terror and loss. Some fled the forest and settled in Kepet. These survivors watched with growing dread as the Sleepless Drift made its way across Cogelos.

  • Once a thriving countryside, where wheat stalks made golden curtains across the land broken only by the rising and falling hill forest, Cogelos and its villages now face a grave threat to their continued survival. Cogelos is an old and simple region where the land and personal strength are what is held most important. What people remain are the outlying farmers struggling to grow crops in the dying earth and the hunters fighting a war against their old forest home.

  • The Sleepless Drift, Neirave is an odd-looking woman, with a sterile beauty that seems mournfully frozen in time, wearing a long robe covered with crystals and flecks of ice. Those who enter her domain greatly fear discovering her or the creatures she commands, as no heart seems warm or pure enough for her to spare the wrath of her wintry domain.

  • The city state of Corwyn lies in one of the farther reaches of the more civilized territories on a high plain, neatly bordered by forests and mountains to the South and East and by a modest river to the West. Falling outside of the region's major trade routes, inter-city trade and communication between Corwyn and the larger surrounding cities has dwindled - though the quiet, peaceful region remains on good terms with each of its neighbors. Nearly a decade ago, a mysterious blight swept through the high plains, all but destroying the harvest of the local farmers on which the area so heavily relied for its food supply.

  • Magical relics have long been key in the pursuit of, or defense against, undeath. From simple holy symbols fortified with divine blessings to cowls that allow the undead to walk amongst the living, a great number of magic items deal exclusively with those horrid beings that refuse to go gently into the ever-after. Below are a few such items inspired by the Red Monks of Von Brandt.

  • (Part 2) In his single-minded quest to cheat death and live forever, the man formerly known as Gerhardt von Brandt conducted a ritual upon himself that sealed his spirit inside his body. While the ritual did indeed stop him from aging and kept him from dying, it did nothing to prevent his body from expiring and decaying once it was fatally wounded.  As his body deteriorated, so did his grasp on sanity.

  • The Alae Di Noctis began as an unassuming parish in the hill country. The high priest of Alae Di Noctis was a man named Tolus, who had studied scripture since he was an orphan boy, and now devoted himself to prayer and service to his community. He was known as a man who traveled the region, taking care of lost souls, healing the sick, and performing the occasional casting out of demons. For a time, Tolus considered himself unmatched in his abilities since he had yet to come upon a demon that he could not match. This all changed, however, when Tolus stumbled into an exorcism that was beyond his ability to control or banish.

  • The elven settlement of Lithos has always valued peace and solitude, but few can stem time's flow. Led by House Lithos, the settlement has engaged actively with neighbors while attempting to maintain elven traditions. Successes in trade, cooperative ventures and mutual defence actions have built the trust of the populace in House Lithos, so few objected to the plan for all residents to submit to a shared dreaming state known as Reverie.

  • Geuseppe Fosteur is a prospering spice merchant who amassed a sizable fortune and a small fleet by running exceptionally rare and sought after spices from the southern islands to more temperate climes. His company, The South Ocean Endeavor Shipping and Transport Company, is known throughout the high seas. For a time, Geuseppe's fortune was not just in business, for he also enjoyed for a time a rich personal life with a devoted wife and five loyal children who he adored above none other.

His fortunes of the heart and of the purse did not, however, last forever.
