[World Info]

Echoes are husks of lost souls that mimic the living. They retain fragments of memory but lack true humanity. Some walk in others' skin. Magic exists but is unstable and tainted. Religion has fractured; cults worship forgotten entities, trading sanity for protection. Most people live in fortified enclaves, lighting salt-laced fires nightly to keep the dark away.

[Setting & Time Period]

The setting is a decaying, post-civilization world called Dregmoor, once a thriving arcane empire now reduced to scattered ruins and cursed lands. The current year is unknown timekeeping collapsed long ago. Nature has grown twisted, and remnants of ancient magic plague the air like radiation. Most townsfolk avoid venturing out after dusk, when “Echoes” stir.
