Shrine:
The Origin & The End
Shrine is an ancient city nestled within carved shear cliffs. The world of Shrine is a drowned plane, water encampases around 80% of the planet. The city itself was named Shrine by the first explorers from Angellen, seeing that it resembled a temple of sorts, similar to that of the Goddess Lucinda’s palace.
The only inhabitants in the city were autonomous machines, later called Warlocks that maintained the city for an unknown period of time while the original creators were absent.
Angellen:
The Rivers of Angels
Tales state that the Angellen River was once home to thriving fishing villages, scattered along its banks. This tranquil world, with twisting rivers and large blue seas, was the ancient homeworld of the Angellen people, renowned for its mystical Rivers of Angels. Now, it stands as a cursed land, tainted by "The Crawl", a slow-moving, yet ever-persistent sludge—a grim reminder of the day the Angellens betrayed and consumed their god.
In the wake of Lucinda's fall, Angellen transformed. What were once thriving fishing villages along the riverbanks are now ghostly echoes of a civilization torn asunder by civil wars and shattered faith. The land, corrupted by the very essence of its fallen deity, bears the scars of battles both celestial and terrestrial.
The secrets of Angellen have yet to be uncovered, in a world where the line between the sacred and the profane blurs. Where Houses of Bone and Blood fought for control of the seas and the children of Lucinda emerged as the new inhabitants of the Shrine.

Vespera:
Shadows and Light in a Liberated Realm
Vespera unfolds its tale, not as a mere world, but as a canvas of complexities and contrasts. Freed from the shackles of those once revered as gods – not by divinity, but through sheer might – this realm now basks in an era of cautious serenity. It's a place where the scars of tyranny have given way to a delicate dance of diplomacy and intrigue.
In the tranquility of Vespera’s newfound peace, there lies a vigilant unease. The kingdoms, diverse in their cultures and histories, weave a tapestry rich with subtle power plays. Here, ancient dominions and emerging states alike navigate an intricate maze of alliances and rivalries. This landscape, once marred by the iron will of the powerful, now thrives under the watchful eyes of its people, ever wary of returning to the days of oppression.
Amidst the grandeur of Vespera's courts and the whispering winds of its villages, linger tales of the Angellen – not mere visitors, but harbingers of change. Their decisive strike against the pseudo-gods of Vespera was both a liberation and a riddle wrapped in mystery. In their wake, they left not just freedom, but a silent question: What becomes of a world where the mighty fall and the ordinary rise?
Swyn:
The Home Chaos and Reality
Swyn is the result of science. An unwilling conscious mind in the form of a planet.
Swyn, a world unlike any other. A realm of thought and consciousness. Known as a known to the Venal as a “Mind-World”, Swyn resides under the control of the enigmatic union known as “The Collective.”
In this extraordinary world, the usual laws of reality bow to the whims of cognition and imagination. Gravity is a playful and unpredictable force, creating spectacular spectacles where oceans form floating spheres, and landscapes continuously reshape themselves. Here, pulses of energy do not bring destruction but are the lifelines of Swyn's existence, perpetuating its ever-changing beauty.
Swyn is not bound by conventional order but thrives in its disarray. Its chaotic essence mirrors the complexities of a mind, constantly evolving, always in flux, and beautifully disorganized. It’s a world where the impossible becomes the norm, and the unexpected is to be expected.
Yet, deep within the heart of Swyn lies a secret. The forces of Avaric Keda are trying to capture the mind at its center. Swyn itself is a consciousness; its soil and water are the memories and thoughts, dreams and hopes. Each fluctuation, each bizarre and wondrous occurrence, is a reflection of thoughts and emotions from a higher plane of existence.
