A world woven from chains and stone
The Seven Houses
Shadow, Light, Storm, Water, Flame, Iron and Mind. Each guards a fragment of the ancient rite that bound Tiamut.
RelicThe Sword of Worlds
Forged from the metal of the first chain. It does not kill Tiamut, but seals her away again. Each seal takes something from its bearer: a memory, a year, a forgotten name.
RelicThe Phoenix Glove
Anzu’s molten feather. A key that tightens or loosens Tiamut’s chains, whispers to its bearer from the Void, and takes its price.
ThresholdThe Lamassu and the Gates
Winged bulls with human heads guard the thresholds, reading blood and intent before allowing passage, and closing the threshold upon a traitor.
CosmologyThe Moons and the Suns
A silver moon and a pale green one; a golden sun and a blue twilight sun. As the blue sun fades, eternal twilight threatens.
CreaturesCreatures of the Void
Gallu, tunnel spirits that feed on magic; Anzu, the storm bird; and Humbaba, guardian of the silver forest.
