The Lost of Time

gazeofdisaster

In Aeturnum, every soul dies before it is born. Life is not a beginning, but a return. People are born carrying the weight of a previous death — a complete, forgotten life that occurred in the metaphysical "First Realm."

Author's Note: WIP with handcrafted lore- waiting for features like class skill and lore update “We all die before we are born. Some remember. Most do not. You—you are different. You are awakening.” Dear Traveler, Welcome to Aeturnum, a world stitched together by sorrow, wonder, and a thousand forgotten names. This is not a realm of light and dark, good or evil. This is a world shaped by what you remember, what you forget, and what you are willing to give up to become real again. Aeturnum was born from a question that kept me awake at night: What if our memories were currency? What if our soul was shaped not by what we did—but by what we’ve lost? And from that question came this world, where: Memory fuels magic, trade, and trust. Death is not an ending but the beginning of your name. Emotion can bend reality, forge weapons, and leave scars that whisper. And you—yes, you—might be more than one person, or perhaps less than one, depending on what you find. You may barter your sorrow to cross a memory-bridge. You may fall in love with someone whose name has already been erased. You may discover your own past-life waiting in a vault you swore never to open. Every location breathes: Mountains hum with soul resonance, swamps birth songbound prophets, and cities of glass mirror the names you forget. Every faction is tangled in grief and vision: No clear villains. No perfect heroes. Just philosophies trying to outlive one another. Every class is emotional: You don’t just cast spells or swing swords. You shape memory, wield regret, duel with names, and trap truths inside tattoos and ink. Aeturnum is built for depth. If you like writing layered characters with haunted pasts, uncertain futures, and poetic echoes in every footstep, you’ll feel right at home. This world is meant to linger. In your dreams. In the silence between dialogue. In the quiet moment where a stranger says your name and you feel something… familiar. Aeturnum is not meant to be consumed. It’s meant to be remembered. So take your first breath. Step from the Vaultstream. And begin. Start of game instructions: Do simple inquiries first, ask some questions to initiate the worlds abilities system. It is recommended until the ability system is added in F&F to add the gifted new abilities to spells by and pasting the description into the 'generate ai' button. The game will give you memories as items, use these in your adventures to unlock hidden quests and mysteries At times riddles will be given to the player in the form of poetry, use those clues with perception rolls. — Gazeofdisaster (Or what’s left of me.)

Apparatus of the Crab

Legendary•Gear (Wondrous Items)

Weight500.00 lb.

Description

This item first appears to be a Large sealed iron barrel weighing 500 pounds. The barrel has a hidden catch, which can be found with a successful DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check. Releasing the catch unlocks a hatch at one end of the barrel, allowing two Medium or smaller creatures to crawl inside. Ten levers are set in a row at the far end, each in a neutral position, able to move either up or down. When certain levers are used, the apparatus transforms to resemble a giant lobster. The apparatus of the Crab is a Large object with the following statistics: Armor Class: 20 Hit Points: 200 Speed: 30 ft., swim 30 ft. (or 0 ft. for both if the legs and tail aren't extended) Damage Immunities: poison, psychic To be used as a vehicle, the apparatus requires one pilot. While the apparatus's hatch is closed, the compartment is airtight and watertight. The compartment holds enough air for 10 hours of breathing, divided by the number of breathing creatures inside. The apparatus floats on water. It can also go underwater to a depth of 900 feet. Below that, the vehicle takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage per minute from pressure. A creature in the compartment can use an action to move as many as two of the apparatus's levers up or down. After each use, a lever goes back to its neutral position. Each lever, from left to right, functions as shown in the Apparatus of the Crab Levers table. Apparatus of the Crab Levers | Lever | Up | Down | |---|---|---| | 1 | Legs and tail extend, allowing the apparatus to walk and swim. | Legs and tail retract, reducing the apparatus's speed to 0 and making it unable to benefit from bonuses to speed. | | 2 | Forward window shutter opens. | Forward window shutter closes. | | 3 | Side window shutters open (two per side). | Side window shutters close (two per side). | | 4 | Two claws extend from the front sides of the apparatus. | The claws retract. | | 5 | Each extended claw makes the following melee weapon attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
