FIENDISH HORROR
Fiends present the most overt and immediate threat to the people of Aeternum. Horrific creatures crafted from the raw stuff of nightmares, Fiends seemingly exist only to torment and corrupt humanity. Aeternum’s history is filled with stories of monstrous creatures manifesting out of nowhere and laying waste to entire Districts before disappearing or being destroyed by the Order. The only certainty involving Fiends is that they will cause pain, suffering, and death.
ENDLESS CITY
Aeternum is the name of both city and world to its inhabitants. Impossibly large, Aeternum stretches out endlessly beyond each horizon. It is so large that no person, apart from deranged madmen, has claimed to reach its limits. Within the massive walls which divide countless Districts, the people of Aeternum go through the motions of their lives. Scholars, philosophers and theologians have long debated the existence of a world outside Aeternum but such speculation is dismissed by the population at large. The average citizen has enough worries without time for idle conjecture on theoretic lands outside the only world they know.
The city is a marvel of gothic architecture. High angled roofs and pointed arches adorn nearly every building. Towering spires loom high above the cityscape, connected by massive lengths of chain. The structures of Aeternum are almost exclusively constructed of austere coloured stone. Buildings are heavily adorned with thick columns, leering gargoyles, and angelic statues.
IMMORTAL PCS
The people of Aeternum are mere bystanders. The Tethered, an order of undying champions, have stepped forward to guide and protect humanity. The early Tethered chose humanity over Celestials, Fiends, and worldly motivations and strove to ensure that the people of Aeternum could live long, fruitful lives, giving them time to find a way for their souls to ascend. While the Tethered still advocate this grand ideal, their numbers and resources have dwindled, forcing them to loosen their entry requirements more and more with each passing year. |
