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

This rod has a flanged head, and it functions as a magic mace that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. The rod has properties associated with six different buttons that are set in a row along the haft. It has three other properties as well, detailed below. ***Six Buttons.*** You can press one of the rod's six buttons as a bonus action. A button's effect lasts until you push a different button or until you push the same button again, which causes the rod to revert to its normal form. If you press **button 1**, the rod becomes a flame tongue, as a fiery blade sprouts from the end opposite the rod's flanged head. If you press **button 2**, the rod's flanged head folds down and two crescent-shaped blades spring out, transforming the rod into a magic battleaxe that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. If you press **button 3**, the rod's flanged head folds down, a spear point springs from the rod's tip, and the rod's handle lengthens into a 6-foot haft, transforming the rod into a magic spear that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. If you press **button 4**, the rod transforms into a climbing pole up to 50 feet long, as you specify. In surfaces as hard as granite, a spike at the bottom and three hooks at the top anchor the pole. Horizontal bars 3 inches long fold out from the sides, 1 foot apart, forming a ladder. The pole can bear up to 4,000 pounds. More weight or lack of solid anchoring causes the rod to revert to its normal form. If you press **button 5**, the rod transforms into a handheld battering ram and grants its user a +10 bonus to Strength checks made to break through doors, barricades, and other barriers. If you press **button 6**, the rod assumes or remains in its normal form and indicates magnetic north. (Nothing happens if this function of the rod is used in a location that has no magnetic north.) The rod also gives you knowledge of your approximate depth beneath the ground or your height above it. ***Drain Life.*** When you hit a creature with a melee attack using the rod, you can force the target to make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target takes an extra 4d6 necrotic damage, and you regain a number of hit points equal to half that necrotic damage. This property can't be used again until the next dawn. ***Paralyze.*** When you hit a creature with a melee attack using the rod, you can force the target to make a DC 17 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. This property can't be used again until the next dawn. ***Terrify.*** While holding the rod, you can use an action to force each creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a target is frightened of you for 1 minute. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. This property can't be used again until the next dawn.
