The World

Ouroboros is a vast sphere of continents, inland seas, island chains, deserts, forests, tundra, and crowded riverlands, all shaped by the Roundwater, a hidden current that circles the planet and carries heat, rain, trade, and magic. Its peoples inherited names and customs from many older worlds, then made them local. Now the current is faltering, and every civilization must decide whether to repair a shared system or seize what remains for itself.

The Ages

  1. The Naming

    First Era

    Founding peoples crossed from distant worlds and settled the young continents, giving old homeland names to unfamiliar rivers, coasts, and stars.

  2. The Turning

    Second Era

    A planet-spanning ocean current became known as the Roundwater, binding climates, trade routes, migrations, and wars into a repeating global circuit.

  3. The Long Peace

    Third Era

    River kingdoms, mountain leagues, island republics, and caravan empires grew prosperous while common magic entered farming, craft, healing, and warfare.

  4. The Broken Circuit

    Fourth Era

    The Roundwater began to slow and change course, bringing failed monsoons, advancing ice, crowded borders, and a scramble to control the world's remaining warmth.
