THE COLLECTED HISTORIES
Night
C.L.
Chronicler of the Sunken Epoch.
Unearthed mythologies and forbidden accounts from a world before the drowning.
PRIMARY ARTIFACT
Tome I
THE FIRST AGE
The Obsidian
Crown
Forged in the heart of the dormant caldera, the Crown was never meant for a mortal brow. This account, translated from the scattered fragments of the High Priestess’s journals, details the inevitable descent into madness that followed its ascension.
It is a record of ambition, ash, and the long shadows cast by gods who abandoned their creations to the deep.

THE WORLD
Before the sea rose,
there were nine kingdoms.
The Sunken Epoch is a setting of crumbling oaths and slow-rotting empires — a continent half-remembered, where the gods kept their bargains in blood and the rivers ran with the names of the forgotten.
