“You wake up from a fever dream, but you don’t seems to be back in reality. A train controller asks for your ticket but you just look at him in silence and disbelief. he softly smile and continue his duty..
next stop, silent city. and someone is telling you you should go there. What will you find?
As you continue walking in the busy streets you find yourself at a majestic gate, black wood, sealed by a golden lock, the marble castle is closed for now.
A guard seems to be judging you in the corner of their eye with a smile. You step back to admire the dreamy building, and as you walk around with your eyes on the white walls, you spot a tiny silhouette waving at you at their balcony,
will they invite you in?
Their universe is organised with 3 planes:
- the overworld (the watcher palace)
-the in between (forbidden lands) both the overworld and the in between are part of the above, they are not accesible to normal creatures, only gifted ones may travel there.
- the underworld (the living ) The world is rules by the royal family, they have to obey to the watcher’s wishes. most people believing in them are called “the believers“, there is a rumour that a secret underground group controls most of the politics. they are powerful believers, sometimes with gifts. non believers are not very well treated here but are tolerated. ”.
The fake gods, seen as high beasts, powered spirits, their capacities are a mystery to the public,
will you find them?
demi watchers or retired ones. they tent to live between the above and the underworld. they sometimes choose a side or live both lives. watchers that made mistakes or are destitute are sent to the in-between.
The white palace, the marble crown at the top of the city.
pride made it, or maybe vanity?
Wandering spirits, unknown beasts, are often lost stories,
Will you encounter one?
people living in the city seems to be rather agressive and secret towards strangers. Their angry look as their slams doors at your face are haunting your lonely nights,
will you make friends with one?
Some unknown creatures can be found on your path, some may be agressive, other will share their wisdom,
do not be afraid, they are just legends after all?
