Vitri Novis

- World Lore -

The world runs on standard fantasy logic, with some additions from me. Most notably a whole group of godborn people who create a cursed state that lingered on for a long time before mostly dying out.

Ichor Mimics

Ichor Mimics were created a long time in the past by a dark god (later named Icirhuis by these Mimics). These mimics were meant to be apex predators using the sounds of other animals to lure things to them to kill and eat. They eventually evolved alongside other humanoids to have their own societies. However, conflicts began to rise when minor mimics began to be created, mimics who aren't godborn but cursed by a major mimic. This eventually caused Icirhuis' counterpart, Miraclux to gather its followers and wage a hunt for every mimic to be killed. Thus lowering their numbers and killing most major and minor mimics. Though they may be all but gone some things from this era still linger. Ichor Mimic blood is poisonous to all but other mimics even with the smallest drop of it, and it is frequently sold on black markets for assassinations. Some clever sellers figure out how to create more of it without a living mimic, and even cleverer the scientists that get their hands on even just a drop.

Stories

The world has 5 major stories within it

Maldwyn & the Merry Men

The technically not progressing but not done adventures of Maldwyn Icecrow my DnD Character and their conflicts with the other members of the Merry Men. A crime dynasty gets overthrown thrusting one, Maldwyn Icecrow into a world that is infinitely strange to interact with. Still believing they should still be just as cut throat and evil, they cause conflict with the newest group they've joined up with by refusing to change their ways even around their supposed "friends" created a rift between the two. Will they ever learn to let their guard down and improve themself or spiral back into the worst person possible once again?

Empty Town

Making the child you trained up to kill from when you adopted them immortal too early surely cannot have serious consequences. Maldwyn (Monsterwyn) wakes up after an accident that should have killed them, in the wake of something terrible happening to the town they live in. Finding themself now immortal they embrace brutality even more thanks to their dad. Stealing riches, killing people, taking over towns and castles for fun. Eventually though, something goes wrong when Maldwyn wants to impress their dad and it turns how they feel about immortality on its head forever. Going on hijinx to being agonized about what they'd done and have been doing, it can be a bit of a rollercoaster.

Wyrmsun

A mini event that occurs during Empty Town, a scientist from Wyrmsun gets a much better catch than she was expecting when catching the long-lived wyrms and lizards from a nearby cove to study. Now, having caught a immortal being she's been given all the free reign she's dreamed of in the labs. Preforming experiments that she couldn't before to further progress science, but failing to account for what would happen if the immortal escaped after all that torture.

The Blizzard and the Heatwave

An ice themed magic user named Thorn Icecrow, and a fire themed magic user only known as The Heatwave get tangled in superhero vs supervillian type conflicts with each other after having a few fights against on another. Thorn sees this as a way to "put on a show" for the townsfolk, while Heatwave has been taking it 100% seriously this entire time.

The Hero with Mercury in His Lungs

A young elf boy named Glynnxiros (Glynn for short) gets sent on a chosen one quest to slay the monster that has just ravaged his town by a entity he meets in a dream. It introduces itself as Mercury and appeals to every one of his childish desires to be a hero, claiming to be from a lost civilization and bestowing upon him a magic spell he can use to "defeat" this monster. It's suspiciously just after this happens but he's too blinded by his desire for revenge to think about it. Mercury seems to be not telling Glynn something but he doesn't end up noticing until its way too late what it really wanted
