The Setting
Ancient empires, long since crumbled, have left only weathered stones and nameless ruins to mark their passing. The Bleak Isles are a land of quiet decay, where the past lingers like a half-forgotten dream—spoken of only in hushed fables and the superstitions of wary townsfolk. What came before—the true history of this place—has been swallowed by time, leaving behind scattered relics and the hollow echoes of things once great.

Magic, if it ever truly existed, has faded into legend. Each people bears the marks of an ancestry long obscured. The isles endure—battered by ceaseless winds, veiled in deep forests, and haunted by the forgotten. The world offers no promises. Here, survival is the only certainty, and history is but a tale whispered by firelight. Where and when we are is uncertain.
🔧 We recommend allocating at least 8GB of RAM via Modrinth to ensure smooth performance!
