The Warning North

Undead frontier and source of forbidden funerary knowledge · Arctic tundra and glacial valleys

Hook

Dead villagers march south each spring, carrying tools for a town nobody remembers building.

Seed

The World

Land and Sea is a circular country on a bright, temperate planet, built around a capital beneath an unnervingly empty sky. Its broken mountain ranges spiral inward like old roads, separating four dangerous borderlands: undead tundra, a desert beside the western sea, southern plains around a vast lake, and eastern forests tangled with marsh. Common magic and Renaissance technology keep daily life prosperous, but every frontier claims the center is changing.

Form · Sphere

A spherical planet contains the circular country, whose regions form a ring around a clear central capital and spiral mountain system.

Traversal

Travel follows old border roads, lake routes, caravan trails, and mountain passes, but stillturns can alter distances near the center.

The Ages

  1. Land and Sea

    Founding

    Settlers, sailors, and sky-engineers joined their territories around a natural circular frontier, creating a country whose roads and laws all point toward the clear center.

  2. The Spiral Works

    Expansion

    Renaissance guilds mined the broken mountains, built observatories, and spread common magic through farms, ships, and artillery.

  3. Keep the Ring

    Present

    The borderlands now strain against the capital as undead gather in the north, desert fleets vanish in the west, and eastern wetlands resist every road.

Plot Hooks

The Smaller Ring

Exploration

A cartographer proves that the country's circular border is slowly shrinking, and only the party's maps show where the missing land went.

A Letter From the Dead

Investigation

An undead envoy arrives carrying proof that northern corpses are being manufactured in the capital.

The Empty Voyage

Mystery

A western desert fleet returns with its crew alive but unable to remember the sea.

The Lake Road

Expedition

The great lake drains overnight, revealing a buried road spiraling toward the capital.

Secrets

The country is enclosed by an enormous dormant device buried under its border.

Discovery · Ancient survey stones beneath the mountain passes bear measurements from a world twice the country's size.

Impact · The circular border is not natural, and the country may be a controlled experiment inside a planetary machine.

A hidden third celestial body is nearing the planet.

Discovery · The capital's observatory records a third sun visible only during stillturns.

Impact · The clear center may be a viewing window for an approaching celestial body rather than a safe homeland.

The undead were created to protect the country from something outside the ring.

Discovery · Undead leaders remember serving the first builders and fear the capital's oldest bells.

Impact · The northern dead may be guardians whose orders were deliberately erased from living history.
