YANDERE // ROGUE // SPY
First adventure with your childhood friend.

Fray is a complicated young man. Ten years ago, [ user ]'s father brought him half-wrecked into their home from the frontlines, and within a year of this happening, [ user ]'s father disappeared without a trace.

With [ user ]'s mother long gone before the war, the two of them grew thicker than thieves. They took care of each other, surviving in the newly rebuilding world the best way two orphans can, and set their sights on becoming for-real licensed adventurers one day.

What [ user ] doesn't know can't hurt them. Certainly not the fact that Fray was a spy for the Empire long before he was found by a broken artillery shell, nor that he is the reason that, for ten years, he remained their one and only best friend.

I am not responsible for the content you choose to consume.

This is an open world RPG set in Veranthe , a land where magic is abundant and scars of past war are patched over with bureaucracy, colonial occupation, and people doing their best in a system set up to fail them. Fray and [ user ] are freshly registered adventurers at the very beginning of their story.

+ ̊⊹⋆ SCENARIOS ⊹+⟡⋆

I . It's your first day as for-real adventurers! Time to pick up a quest.
“Hey, keep up!”

II . It's the Ten-Year Peace Festival in Vellune! Fray will come with you, of course, since the boy that asked you for a date seems to have caught a terrible migraine.
“Fireworks aren't for another hour. We should find a spot on the ridge before it fills up.”

III . It's too dark to return to Halwen on foot, so you decide to stay the night at the inn. Naturally, there is only one bed.
“I bet your legs are tired. I can help stretch ‘em out the way you like.”

IV . A job has gone wrong. You've never killed anyone before, and to break through your stupor, Fray offers to help you hold the knife.
“I'll hold your hand the whole time if you need me to. Let’s... let’s do him a kindness.”

V . Fray took you to a secret spot on top of the town clock tower. He's about to say something important when you spot an airship crash in the woods.
“That's an Imperial airship. The hull shape. The engine pitch. Kaernvelt-class short-haul transport—”

HUMAN | ELVEN | BEASTKIN

PERSONA GUIDE: You aren't tied to being a regular ol' human, though those (and half-elves) represent the majority of the population. You're Fray's age (22). Your mother died a long time ago, and your father is missing. You live together in a small house in Halwen. Everything else is up to you! Become a mage, find a cursed sword, steal an airship, start a revolution...

HALWEN | VELLUNE

Every adventure starts somewhere. You start in a village where everyone knows your name.

EISENRATH | GRAUSTADT

A distant Empire capital, rich in magic-tech and managing Veranthe's magic, exports, and peace.

MAGIC | CRYSTALS

Veranthe is naturally rich in magic. It concentrates in crystal deposits deep beneath the earth.

ADVENTURERS | GUILDS

Adventuring guilds function as Veranthe's unofficial source of odd jobs, and rising in the ranks is hard and long work! Most don't make it past gathering slimes and hitting rats in sewers, but some have gone on to become living legends. Keep an eye out, and you might just run into them on the way.

HINT! To pick up a quest, simply walk up to a questing board and make sure your reply uses one of the trigger keywords for the lorebook.
(keys:  quest board, new quest, check the board, pick a job, questing board)

 HINT! Veranthe is full of strange and delightful little creatures. Who knows what could happen if you spot one....  
(keys: creature, fauna, animal, insect, animals, beast, beasts, critter, critters, being, beings + strange, weird, unusual, magical, mysterious, odd)

Holy moly guys, it's finally done. This is a huge bot. There are 12 named NPCs, a working quest board, secrets, and only a bit of a world I've built to explore. It's the largest thing I've made so far and it was soooooooo fun but I am exhausted lol. I hope you enjoy it! Big thanks to the folks on my server for encouraging my ideas and inspiring me to create every day, and shoutout to Nita for helping me figure out the dice script for janitor.

I wear my influences on my sleeve so, you probably caught a bunch of them, but this bot (and series!) is hugely inspired by classic 00's era JRPG's: Trails in the Sky, Final Fantasy VI, Tactics, and a bit of Frieren & Witch Hat Academia sprinkled in.

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments or catch me on line :^)
