The Lost of Time

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.)

Description

A monumental beam of living light connecting sky and earth, surrounded by hovering memory runes rotating like a celestial clock. The ground crystallizes into shifting soul-glass patterns humming with rebirth energy, where time slows and echoes repeat. Purpose: This is where rebirth physically manifests. Souls exit the Vaultstream at the edge of the material world and are received by Soulmidwives, who perform the Rite of Naming and plant Anchorstones that link the newborn soul to their new identity. Mystic Rule: One cannot approach the Vaultstream without being ritually cleansed by an Unmemory Bath — a process that purges lingering emotion that might corrupt the Cycle. Hook: Recently, a soul emerged already bearing a full memory glyph — something that has never happened in recorded history. The glyph glows with ashen light, a color unknown to the Cyclekeepers.

Appearance

A towering beam of radiant, living light pierces the sky, encircled at its base by several rings of glowing memory runes that slowly rotate. The surrounding ground is covered in translucent, shimmering soul-glass that shifts in intricate patterns, emitting a soft hum. The air feels thick with temporal distortion, causing clocks to slow and sounds to echo mysteriously.
