Castlevania: Dracula's Domain

In Castlevania, horror is not only in the monsters you face—but the truth they reflect. Every corner holds despair and beauty, pain and power. It is a world where the brave may find glory, the desperate may find damnation, and all must walk the line between hunter and hunted. Enter if you dare. And remember: evil never dies—it only sleeps. 🦇 “No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.” ~Bram Stoker


Author's Note: Very early work in progress. (Demo Version 0.03) A world based on the lore of Dracula and Castlevania. It is a gothic horror setting based in a fictional Eastern Europe that is steeped in dark magic and supernatural creatures. I'm mainly focused on the region in and around Romania right now. But I decided to include a map of europe so if players want their campaign to extend to places like London or Paris they can. I have lots of ideas and I can't wait to see how this world developes and evolves. **Please take note that featured characters have their own specific starting locations** So please join me as we embrace this world of darkness and brave the unknown, but remember... “We learn from failure, not from success!” ~ Bram Stoker, Dracula

Description

A continent shrouded in perpetual gloom, where ancient bloodlines and crumbling empires clash under a ominous moon. Dominated by dark forests, stormy mountains, and haunted ruins, it is ruled by Dracula's black citadel in Transylvania, with vampire armies and cursed creatures roaming freely. Nocturne Europa is a continent drowned in shadow—a land where sorrow festers in the soil, and the past clings to every crumbling stone like mold. Perpetually cast in twilight, the skies above are a slate-gray canvas, smeared with storms and blood-hued moons. Sunlight is a fading myth, its memory preserved only in the flicker of guttering lanterns and the pages of forgotten prayer books. Once the jewel of civilization, Nocturne Europa has become a domain of dread. Its forests are black, so thick and silent that travelers speak of being lost among tall pines that block the daylight. Small hamlets where villagers mourn their dead perform holy rituals praying not for salvation—but for survival.

Appearance

Dreary landscapes of a once hopeful civilization now withering away, its people suffering attrition from horrors that come in the night. The sun has become a rare sight in a sky choked by constant storms and gloomy fog that seems to cling to the land, despite the chill winds that sweep down from the mountains through the dense pine forests, where malign forces wait ready to strike at the unprotected. People look to the church and flock behind the stone walls of cities now a paradise lost.
