Instead of following the spontaneous chaos of nature, they are cleansed of all memories and forced to reincarnate according to the designs of an ancient entity, descendant of a forgotten people. </p> <ul> <li> <strong>Key Questions:</strong> Who were they? What caused their disappearance? Why did they manipulate the stream of souls to the point of replacing it? </li> </ul> <h2>Entities & Conflicts</h2> <div class="lore-entry"> <h3>Deus Ex (The Supreme Villain)</h3> <ul> <li> <span class="entity-name">Description:</span> The heir to the will of the ancients appears as a colossal bronze statue—a humanoid angel with two feathered right wings, a female body, and a crying face in place of the left arm. Its true essence is <strong>sealed in its head</strong>, protected by a helmet that monitors all the city’s functions. </li> <li> <span class="entity-name">Abilities/Threat:</span> It has been draining the spirits of any intruders and turning them into pale shadows. <ul> <li> It is <strong>Immune to physical damage</strong> and alternates between Vulnerability and Absorption to light and dark each round, unleashing attacks based upon the Absorbed element and inflicting random status effects. </li> <li> It controls the mechanical sentries of the entire Golden City and can spend Ultima Points to summon them. </li> </ul> </li> <li> <span class="entity-name">Narrative Hook:</span> In reality, its spirit silently mourns its millennia-old separation from the stream of souls—can the Player Characters help them reunite with it, and how? </li> </ul> </div> <div class="lore-entry" style="margin-top: 30px"> <h3>Castaways of the Sky</h3> <ul> <li> <strong>The Setup:</strong> Will and Orvy, two reckless aviators, lose control of their aerostat and crash among the ruins while escaping a deadly spirit. In helping them, the PCs become embroiled in a violent conflict. </li> <li style="margin-top: 20px"> <strong>Necroptes (The Spirit):</strong> A ravenous winged spirit that can smell death and knows no remorse. <ul> <li> <strong>Tactics:</strong> Casts fire and air spells. Although fragile, it can strike down enemies in Crisis with its terrible Death spell, which reduces victims’ Hit Points to 0 if they were a multiple of 5. </li> <li> <strong>Resistances/Weaknesses:</strong> Vulnerable to cold and light damage; Immune to earth and Absorbs dark. </li> </ul> </li> <li style="margin-top: 15px"> <strong>Conflict Resolution Points:</strong> <ul> <li> <strong>Collateral Damage:</strong> If the Necroptes isn’t defeated within 4 rounds of conflict, the aerostat becomes unusable due to collateral damage. </li> <li> <strong>Rest in Peace:</strong> After the end of the conflict, Will and Orvy explain they are fulfilling their father’s last request: scattering his ashes from the highest point in the sky. If the aerostat is still serviceable, they take off; otherwise, can the PCs figure out an alternative solution? </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <blockquote> “This is where it all began – maybe for fun, boredom or desperation.<br />The memory is lost, the truth ignored, and the answers denied.” </blockquote> <div class="metadata"></div> </div></html> |
