The World

Turicum is a world divided by the Spine, a colossal mountain range that rose when an ancient network of magical engines broke beneath the continent. To the west lie lush forests, fertile valleys, and small settlements built around clean springs. Beyond the passes stretches the Ashland, a toxic wasteland of ruined roads, dead rivers, and desperate communities. Both halves depend on the same buried machines, and every attempt to repair them risks worsening the split.

The Ages

  1. The Green Crown

    First Age

    Turicum was a broad, fertile continent of old forests, river towns, and mountain clans who learned to draw useful heat and motion from common magic.

  2. The Breaking

    Second Age

    A chain of subterranean engines failed beneath the mountains, splitting the continent and poisoning the eastern half with ash, fumes, and alchemical runoff.

  3. The Uneasy Reach

    Third Age

    Survivors rebuilt with timber, brass, windmills, and scavenged machinery while western settlements prospered and eastern communities fought over clean water, safe roads, and buried technology.

Plot Hooks

The Spring Under Briarford

local mystery

A village pump begins drawing clean water from a sealed shaft marked with the crest of the builders who caused the Breaking.

Trade Through Greenfire

expedition

A caravan from the Ashland offers rare medicines in exchange for guides through a forest that has begun growing metallic leaves.

The Open Passes

exploration

Three mountain passes open at once, revealing roads that should have been buried for centuries and leading toward a still-running engine.

The Price of Renewal

moral choice

A dying engineer claims the wasteland can be healed, but only if the western forests surrender their oldest magical roots.

Secrets

The Breaking was caused by an intentional emergency shutdown, not an accident.

Discovery · Old maps show the mountain range as a flat valley covered in orchards.

Impact · The Spine was built rather than formed naturally, and its foundations can be dismantled.

The active engines are protecting a hidden city beneath the eastern desert.

Discovery · Certain poisoned plants grow in perfect circles around buried brass vents.

Impact · The wasteland is not spreading randomly; the engines are redirecting the poison toward selected regions.

Turicum's western prosperity rests on a slow, invisible poisoning.

Discovery · Healers find the same unfamiliar metal dust in both fresh springs and Ashland blood.

Impact · The greenlands are already being contaminated, though the change will remain hidden for years.
