Worlds
Living spaces. Memory alters the map.
Veormark
"Where every flame remembers who fed it, and the stones still whisper the names of the buried."
Veormark was not founded but discovered — five wandering clans each found a standing stone at the edges of a great wood, and when they touched them, the stones sang in harmony, weaving the scattered peoples into one. The land itself is said to be the body of an ancient being who bargained their flesh for peace, leaving only bones and breath behind.
Chalk & Copper
"Wonder lived in reach, and it always cost."
You crossed after taking a substance that shouldn't have done anything but calm your nerves. On the other side — called Across by the few who know it exists — the world was built like an argument over water and light: steel piers and rope bridges, gas lamps and hand-cranked lifts, swords worn like tools, pistols with honest kick, and artifacts that worked if you paid their price.
