A bustling seaside city rises from the cliffs, its towering walls and weathered stone buildings standing watch over a busy harbor.

A weathered harbour stretches before you as a large wooden ship creaks against the dock, its rigging shifting in the wind and gulls circling overhead. Dockworkers move between stacked crates and coils of rope as the ship is loaded and unloaded in steady, routine motion.

The forest opens into a moss-covered manor of dark stone and weathered timber. Cold mist clings to the grounds as cracked statues watch the path in silence, their faces worn smooth by time.

Hidden among towering pines, the Herbalist’s cottage sits quiet beneath a blanket of moss and creeping ivy. Bundles of drying herbs sway gently beneath the porch while the scent of pine smoke and crushed flowers lingers in the air. Travelers who find this place rarely do so by accident, and fewer still leave without hearing rumors of strange remedies and older woodland magic.

Deep beneath the earth, a mighty stone castle stands within an immense cavern, its towering walls and fortified battlements untouched by time. Pale beams of light pour through cracks in the ceiling far above, illuminating narrow bridges, torchlit gates, and the misty chasm below. The cavern echoes with the sound of rushing water, while the fortress itself looms in absolute silence, watchful and imposing against the darkness.

The cathedral, once a place of holy worship, has been overtaken by a dark cult. A few pews lie broken and scattered across the bloodstained floor, while symbols of unholy rituals are scrawled across the stone. At the altar, a twisted, gnarled tree-like statue looms, its branches reaching out like dark tendrils, and the air is thick with the lingering scent of incense and sacrifice.

Low voices murmur over the steady clink of coins and the soft rattle of dice, each table thick with tension and quiet calculation.

Warm steam drifts through the marble bathhouse, where clear, still water rests between rows of worn columns and ancient stone statues.

Choose Your Character.
She moves through the backstreets in dark, ragged layers, a blade held low and a row of vials at her belt for the jobs a knife can't finish. She has a name in certain circles and a price to match, and by the time you know she is there it is already too late.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He works amid a clutter of vials and bubbling flasks, goggles pushed up on his brow and a bandolier of half-labelled potions across his chest. Half his concoctions could cure you and the other half could kill you, and he is not always certain which is which until you drink it.

Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He works the alleys and gutters with a net in hand and traps hanging from his belt, a gaunt figure who knows every drain and crawlspace the town has forgotten. The work is grim and the pay is worse, but he knows things about what moves beneath the streets that no one else would believe.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He leans on a well-worn shovel with a ring of iron keys at his belt, the only living soul who knows every grave in the hamlet by name. He has buried more people than he can count and speaks to the dead more easily than the living.

Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
She has the look of someone who has weathered storms that would break lesser sailors. Never without her spyglass at her belt and a cutlass never far from reach. Her crew would follow her into any sea, and most of them already have.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He navigates by compass and instinct, his braided beard heavy with rings bought at ports most sailors can't find on a map. Short in stature but enormous in reputation, he has never once been lost at sea and considers that his greatest achievement.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
She travels the roads with a ledger in one hand and a quill in the other, the kind of merchant who knows the price of everything in three different cities and the name of everyone worth knowing in each one. That easy smile has closed more deals than any contract she has ever written.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He stands at his post with a spear in one hand and a shield on his arm, the kind of guard who has never once abandoned his post and expects everyone around him to match that standard. Few travelers give him trouble twice.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He wanders with a lantern in one hand and a well-worn journal in the other, the kind of old man who has mapped places most people refuse to believe exist. Every scar and wrinkle tells a story, and he is usually already telling three of them at once.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He carries more maps and scrolls than a creature his size has any right to, jangling with trinkets and tools collected from places most explorers wouldn't dare venture. Do not let the grin fool you, he has survived long enough to know exactly what he is doing.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He stands with the easy confidence of someone who has never once followed a rule he didn't make himself, half wild and half charming in equal measure. Cross him and he is just as likely to laugh as he is to make you regret it.
Purchasing this character includes:

She stands crowned in twisted antlers with eyes that burn like embers, her presence alone enough to make a room fall silent. Those who have stood in her court whisper that her beauty and her cruelty are impossible to tell apart.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
She moves through the wilderness with her longbow in hand and arrows at her back, watching you with the calm patience of someone who has tracked far more dangerous prey. Most traveller's never hear her coming, and those lucky enough to cross her path would do well to stay on her good side.
Purchasing this character includes:
Static variant
Animated variant
He travels in a sweeping cloak with a silver-tipped cane, carrying the quiet authority of a man who has never needed to raise his voice. He has outlasted kings and buried rivals, both facts he finds mildly amusing.

Animated variant
Every town has a halfling like this one, wandering in from the wilds with a pack full of roots and berries and a staff hung with things most folk wouldn't think to eat. He knows the land better than any ranger and can tell you what's safe to pick just by the smell of it. Not much use in a fight, but when rations run low, he's the most valuable member of the party.
Purchasing this character includes:

She walks the forest trails with arms full of wildflowers and herbs, filling pouches and sacks with remedies most healers wouldn't know how to make. Cross her path on the road and she'll likely offer you something for whatever ails you, though you'd be wise to listen carefully to the dosage.

The station's reactor still burns hot after decades without maintenance, its orange glow pulsing through cracked containment rings that were never meant to last this long.

This region of space is a quiet graveyard of abandoned warships, left behind from an old conflict and drifting in silence.

Broken ships lie piled and half-buried, their hulls torn open and picked clean, forming a graveyard of lost journeys and forgotten crews. From one wreck, a lone tree grows through rusted metal, roots splitting the hull as if reclaiming it.
