Seed

The World

Meridian is a living world built on the remains of its own legends. Ancient heroes, monsters, and miracles became the foundations of roads, engines, cities, and law, but the stories are now waking again. Nations argue over which memories deserve power, while forgotten deeds return in unexpected forms. Adventurers travel between practical magitech settlements and myth-haunted wilds, deciding whether the past should be restored, edited, or finally allowed to die.

Form · Sphere

Meridian is a nearly Earth-sized sphere with broad oceans, continental belts, and a network of glowing meridian roads that circle the planet beneath land and sea.

Traversal

Travel uses ordinary roads, ships, airships, and magitech rail, while awakened meridian gates offer dangerous shortcuts between distant regions.

    A war over the oldest legends shattered the world’s shared history, leaving rival nations with incompatible truths and dangerous half-awakened myths.

A Story for War

heist

The Crowned Archive hires the party to retrieve a stolen childhood story before an enemy turns it into a battlefield weapon.

Thirteen Nights

disaster

A Storytide is approaching, and every settlement on the party’s route is preparing to reenact a different version of the same ancient disaster.

Secrets

The world’s shared history is a magical construction, not a record of what truly happened.

Discovery · The oldest roads react violently when scholars compare incompatible histories near them.

Impact · Meridian was not built on legends; legends were edited into the world by an ancient civilization that is still alive beneath the surface.

The Red Moon is not a natural satellite but a sealed myth trying to become a person.

Discovery · Memory-shadows of unrelated dead people repeat the same warning about the Red Moon.

Impact · Every Storytide strengthens one hidden being, and the next cycle may give it enough reality to replace the current laws of magic.

Many legendary bloodlines are manufactured identities maintained by ancient magitech.

Discovery · A discarded relic activates when placed beside a newborn child with no recorded name.

Impact · The first builders designed legends to select future rulers, but the selection process can be broken by destroying the naming archives.
