The World

Ouroboros is a vast Earth-sized world shaped by one great fact: land, sea, trade, and magic all move in returning circuits. A nearly unbroken mountain belt divides climates and guides rivers toward immense inland basins, while the Long Current circles the oceans and carries weather, ships, and spellcraft. Civilizations thrive along this loop, but old wars, broken routes, planar crossings, and rising magical tides threaten to close the circle.

Form · Sphere

Ouroboros is a full-sized spherical planet with several enormous continents arranged around a central mountain belt, vast oceans, polar ice, inland seas, and a global ocean current that nearly circles the globe.

Traversal

Travel follows rivers, caravan roads, mountain passes, coastal shipping lanes, and the Long Current; teleportation and planar gates exist but are costly, regulated, or unreliable.

Powers of the World

The Crowned Basin

Imperial federation

Keep the ring roads and inland waterways open under a single legal code, even if that requires annexing smaller states.

The Tidecallers

Religious network

Restore sacred control over the Long Current and forbid private use of the strongest magical sites.

The Steppe Hosts

Confederation of raiders

Seize pasture, salt, and river crossings before the next cycle of drought drives their clans into settled lands.

The Ages

  1. The Ringmaking

    First Era

    The planet cooled around a near-continuous belt of mountains and deep seas, while the first peoples learned that magic traveled in returning currents beneath the ground.

  2. The River Crowns

    Second Era

    Cities rose along rivers descending from the ring, developing trade leagues, priestly schools, giant roads, and rival ideas about whether magic was a gift or a public resource.

  3. The Long War

    Third Era

    Empires fought to control the passes and ports that fed the world’s circular trade, leaving abandoned capitals, altered borders, and old grudges between neighboring peoples.

  4. The Turning Year

    Fourth Era

    The ring roads and sea routes are open again, but magical currents are strengthening, distant ruins are waking, and every major power fears the cycle may be reaching its end.

Plot Hooks

The Early Road

Exploration

A newly opened pass reveals a road that reaches its destination before anyone leaves.

Voices Below

Mystery

A coastal town hires adventurers after every newborn begins speaking in the voice of a drowned ancestor.

The Salt Truce

Warfare

The rival powers call a truce to stop raiders from occupying the exposed islands along the changing Long Current.

The Missing Quarter

Cosmic Threat

A remote observatory reports that the Pale Wheel has developed a dark notch visible from every continent.

Secrets

The ring roads form a planetary machine.

Discovery · Engineers comparing ancient road stones notice the same spiral measurement carved beneath every major bridge.

Impact · Ouroboros is not merely shaped by natural cycles; its first civilizations deliberately built the planet’s trade network to regulate the magical current.

The dead travel along a second world beneath the first.

Discovery · A soul returned from death remembers walking through a city beneath the ocean floor.

Impact · The afterlife is connected to a hidden underworld that can be reached through certain current-sites, making resurrection and planar travel politically dangerous.

Something beyond the sky is feeding on the turning.

Discovery · Astronomers find that the Pale Wheel’s dark notch moves against the stars rather than with the planet.

Impact · A vast object outside the world is consuming part of its magic, threatening every civilization and possibly drawing Ouroboros into a wider multiversal conflict.
