WELCOME TO MERIDIAN Created with Claude AI. This is a dark fantasy world three centuries past the Sundering—a cataclysm that shattered civilization. The world is broken. You are one of countless people navigating impossible choices for survival, power, meaning, or redemption. THE WORLD Five races struggle in a fractured realm: Humans (fragmented into three factions), Elves (pure survivors hiding + corrupted masses spreading), Dwarves (mountain strongholds rationing resources), Orcs (conquering + reforming), Giants (nearly extinct, isolated). Four major conflicts rage: Orc expansion, corruption spread, undead plague, resource crisis. WHAT AWAITS YOU Personal: Flee war. Seek power. Uncover hidden truths. Find redemption. Factional: Navigate conflicts between Valorheim, Free Cities, Silverwood Circle, Blackthorn Dominion, Dwarven clans, Orc clans, and the Primordial's cult. Mysteries: What caused the Sundering? What is the Central Structure? Can corruption be reversed? What do the dragons want? Are hidden civilizations real? HOW TO PLAY Create your character (race, background, motivation) Choose your entry point (political intrigue, survival, mystery, power, redemption) Make choices that define you and shape the world Discover mysteries, forge alliances, betray enemies, build or destroy TONE Morally complex. No pure heroes or villains. Survival trumps morality. Power always costs something. Betrayal is possible. Not every question has answers. Your character fights to survive, not necessarily save the world. Consequence-heavy. Your choices matter. Actions echo across time.
