Salt-Gate

Portal trade hub and eastern gateway · Coastal city and salt marshes

Hook

Salt-Gate's harbor receives a ship from a shard whose crew insists Meridiana has already ended.

Seed

The World

Meridiana is a living world stitched to the ruins of its shattered twin. Hundreds of drifting shards hang beyond ordinary reach, connected by ley lines and portals that appear wherever old memories, landmarks, or disasters echo strongly enough. Salt-Gate thrives on this dangerous trade, Blitwick feeds the eastern highlands, and Ribbit pond-cities guard their marsh roads. Every new crossing brings opportunity, but also raiders, refugees, altered creatures, and disputes over who has the right to open the next door.

Form · Sphere

Meridiana is a spherical living world, while its shattered twin survives as hundreds of drifting fragments beyond the ordinary sky.

Traversal

Travel follows roads, rivers, and sea lanes on Meridiana, then uses ley-line gates, portal stones, and rare temporary crossings to reach the shards.

The Ages

  1. The Paired World

    First Age

    Meridiana and its twin shared one sky, joined by natural ley lines that carried weather, trade, and magic between them.

  2. The Breaking

    Second Age

    A failed attempt to control the ley network shattered the twin world into hundreds of drifting shards, while Meridiana survived scarred and isolated.

  3. The Open Roads

    Third Age

    Modern settlers rediscovered portals between Meridiana and the shards, creating new trade, migration, exploration, and arguments over who owns the old routes.

Plot Hooks

Crisis

Secrets

The shattered twin is being pulled toward Meridiana by the same ley network that connects them.

Discovery · Portal engineers find matching birthmarks among people born on opposite worlds.

Impact · Meridiana and its twin are not separate worlds but two halves slowly drifting back together.

The original portal network was built to reach a place outside both worlds.

Discovery · Old portal records list a third destination beneath every known crossing.

Impact · Opening the hidden route could stabilize the worlds or tear open a passage for something that survived the Breaking.

The Quiet Choir receives genuine warnings from the dead, though it misreads their demand for silence.

Discovery · Quiet Choir sermons repeat phrases found in shard wreckage and ancient Meridian graves.

Impact · The cult's leaders are guided by dead souls trapped between worlds, and they may be right that every crossing feeds the disaster.
