Winterland is a collaborative project. It’s open to anyone who wants to add to the world or make a bot.

This bot is being posted early so anyone who wants to take part in Winterland for the holidays has time to think about it and write. It takes me a long time to make bots.

D1ngus made an advent calendar, which could be used to make general holiday themed bots during December or bots in Winterland world.

Special thanks to D1ngusD0ngus, who already had made some NPCs, locations, races, and a lot of images in winterland. If you have any questions, he’s able to answer and help just as well as I can.

There’s also Lonk, a specially designed character who can talk about lore, answer questions, help generate winterland ideas. Here you can find more info about the December event.

Again, if you click on the lorebook attached to this bot it will take you to a public page which has a lot of world, location, and npc information. You can also check out the PDF full lore doc which has full defs and even more world info I left out of the script public page because it was already really long.

If you cannot find something you want to know about, just ask. You can talk to me in this discord.

Creator Notes

I started to make this bot months ago because I wanted to play in a happy, fun, holiday-themed world. Things have felt heavy, stressful, and complicated lately. I needed to place to escape from worry and tears. While Winterland has some dangers, the heart of it is just a whimsy Christmas-not-Christmas city full of winter elves who, for the most part, want to help you.

This is the first RPG bot I've ever made. It's posted only on Janitor and Wyvern, if you see it anywhere else it has been stolen.

If you copy the winterland lorebook keep my name attached to it as the writer (poppybell). I wrote all of this world myself, not with AI. These are my own ideas, brought forth by real time and effort.
