Origins

The setting is divided into four Origins of power:

  • Fury Origin: The oldest of the Origins, seeking singular dominance of the universe, now imprisoned.
  • Integral Origin: The second Origin, which imprisoned Fury to create order and seeks stability in the universe.
  • Strange Origin: The third Origin, born from damage to The Integrum during The Shattering.
  • Void Origin: The fourth Origin, also born from damage to The Integrum during The Shattering which seeks to end all things, destroying the universe.

Compendia

Rules

Notes

  • Health, fatigue
    • What if fatigue was split into mental fatigue and physical fatigue, and became a unified mechanic for lots of things, like encumbrance = physical fatigue
    • Relatedly, what if armor didn't have special rules about agility checks and movement, and instead was just encumbrance, and by extension physical fatigue
    • Physical fatigue would cover things like might/agility checks and defenses, physical attack rolls, movement speed, and initiative
    • Mental fatigue would cover things like wits/resolve checks and defenses, magical effect rolls, and initiative
  • Rituals of Parturition are how childbirth works
  • Size is a huge variable in combat, amplifying HP, physical damage, might, and reducing defense
  • Shattering breaks The Integrum into an arbitrary number of "timeline dimensions"
    • Connected by portals (Hidden Form)
    • Connected by Strange Sea (Strange magic)
    • Connected by Astral Sky (integral, patternsailing)
