World Overview: The Last Sanctuary

When the gods awoke, they did not bring salvation. They devoured creation.

The divine did not hunger for flesh, but for souls. Their presence drained the essence of all living things — entire forests withered, oceans evaporated, and the heavens became a reflective void, a mirror of the gods' eternal appetite. Each god, once worshipped as a patron of virtue, was revealed to be a cosmic predator: the God of Light, who scorches souls to sustain itself; the God of Knowledge, who unravels minds to consume memory; and others, each an avatar of twisted divinity.

The first Harvest ended the world as it was known. All but one city was claimed.

@Sanctum Prime the last bastion of mortal existence.

No one truly understands why @Sanctum Prime endures. It sits surrounded by a sea of ash and divine wreckage, pulsing with strange energies and half-remembered hymns.

The Role of Gods

The gods are no longer objects of reverence — they are existential threats. Each divine being represents a corrupted ideal: purity twisted into obliteration, wisdom into madness. Their presence warps reality, spawning divine husks, seraphic parasites, and faithbound aberrations that stalk the ruined world.

The Role of Faith

Open worship of a god is forbidden in @Sanctum Prime not by law, but by necessity while State-sanctioned resonance rituals are allowed to mantain the Veil. To believe is to draw attention. Still, whispers of worship persist: to the memory of gods, to the city itself, or to something deeper. Religion has become survivalism with prayer. Hope is a dangerous indulgence.

The Awakened

Exposure to divine residue doesn’t always kill. A rare few survive the touch of godhood The Awakened whose spirits mutate instead of disintegrate. They manifest strange abilities: flame conjured from grief, memory woven into illusions, bones turned to crystal. But each act of magic brings them closer to the divine and thus closer to destruction. The gods can smell what is theirs.
