Redford

Political and commercial heartland · Temperate river valleys and old stone roads

Hook

A prosperous crossroads is being renamed by three governments, and each new sign changes who the locals remember.

Seed

The World

The Named World is a round planet where accepted names hold reality together. Towns, rivers, laws, and people remain stable because communities speak of them, print them, and mark them on maps. Magic is common, but every spell reinforces or alters a definition. Now whole regions are slipping from records, creating broken roads, disputed borders, and forgotten peoples. Adventurers travel as explorers, investigators, negotiators, and sometimes the only witnesses that a place ever existed.

Form · Sphere

A round planet of oceans and continents whose physical geography remains stable only where names, maps, and shared memory agree.

Traversal

Travel follows roads, rivers, sea lanes, and officially recorded routes, while disputed or erased names create detours, loops, and sudden crossings.

The Ages

  1. The Naming

    First Age

    The first peoples mapped the world and discovered that spoken names fixed rivers, roads, borders, and even magical laws in place.

  2. The Charter Years

    Second Age

    Merchant republics, wizard colleges, and royal courts used naming magic to build stable cities, expand trade, and claim distant lands.

  3. The Unwritten Present

    Third Age

    Names are being erased from maps and memory, causing regions to shift, overlap, or vanish while rival powers fight over the cause.

A Village on Paper

Political

The party must protect a village whose founding charter is being contested by three powers with incompatible maps.

Secrets

The first maps were weapons used to overwrite an older world.

Discovery · Ancient boundary stones bear the same scratched-out word beneath every modern language.

Impact · The world was not named into existence; it was renamed after a previous civilization was deliberately erased.

The Nameless began as descendants of erased communities, not a purely nihilistic cult.

Discovery · The Nameless recognize one another by scars shaped like punctuation marks.

Impact · Their leader is not destroying reality randomly but restoring places and people removed by the Crowned Survey.

The current unraveling has an external author.

Discovery · A lunar eclipse makes the silver roads in the sky point toward the same empty ocean.

Impact · Something outside the known world is writing new names into reality and may soon define the planet itself.
