Seed

The World

Tarhe is a globe of old roads, failing beacons, and weather that no longer trusts the calendar. Its people still live by caravan, river, and oath, but every trade route depends on ancient lights that can calm storms, guide armies, and mark safe harvests. Adventurers are hired to escort, repair, steal, or defend those lights while rival powers argue over who should rule the land they keep alive.

roadside intrigue

Form · Sphere

A single habitable sphere with clear poles, broad trade belts, and old beacon routes that circle the globe like scars of light.

Traversal

Travel follows roads, rivers, coasts, and caravan routes across the surface, with sea lanes and passes making some regions far faster to reach than others.

The Ages

  1. The First Hearths

    Ancient

    Cities grew around old beacon-stones that steadied weather, crops, and travel, and the early clans learned to bargain over light instead of land.

  2. The Road Kings

    Classical

    Caravan lords and river princes linked the beacons into a common order, and Tarhe became rich on tolls, maps, and careful peace.

  3. The Fractured Years

    Recent

    The beacon network weakened, seasons drifted, and local powers armed themselves while arguing over who should mend the old system.

The Tower Claim

Political Intrigue

Secrets

Tarhe's beacon network was never meant to guide roads alone; it was also a lock on something buried beneath the world.

Discovery · Old beacon maps show a missing link between three regions that no one officially names.

Impact · The lost link could restore stable seasons or give one faction a monopoly on travel.

The gray plague is tied to a buried oath that the Ashen Chapel is quietly trying to break.

Discovery · Plague victims sometimes dream of a road under the sea and wake speaking in the same unknown place-name.

Impact · The sickness may be a call from an ancient power, not a natural disease.

The first beacon builders did not found the ruling houses, they replaced them.

Discovery · A few very old tombstones bear the same merchant seal as the Beacon Houses.

Impact · The great houses may have inherited their authority by hiding a much older crime.
