Evermore

A world covered by a massive, core-deep city has recently been rebuilt and restored to its former glory.

Originally built by Solas and Evermore, the kingdom once spanned many worlds, and its reach was vast until a ritual performed by Rubiedo shattered it. Now that it has been rebuilt, a new ruler sits upon the throne. At the heart of this world lies the Oblivion Engine—a mysterious core generating immense amounts of oblivion for reasons unknown.

The Children of Omna made this world their home. 

Built to sustain monumental populations, the ecumenopolis could house upwards of 100 trillion beings without overcrowding; until recently, its current population stood at fewer than 100.

The city descends in layers all the way to the core, each tier functioning as a realm of its own. Powerful illusions project across each layer to evoke the sensation of open skies, though individual zones vary widely—from bright, sweeping vistas to cavernous depths. Every zone serves a deliberate purpose, designed so residents can live, work, and thrive without ever needing to leave. Zone functions range from specialized academies and heavy manufacturing to agriculture and technological innovation, while others are built to let distinct cultures live autonomously according to their own traditions.

Kasandri now occupies the throne, she sits on the throne in the palace as streams of raw energy pour into the glowing tree behind her. She is unable to leave the throne or the tree without killing all.  Few get to meet her as her protectors worry about her safety. Those that have met her speak of a redheaded child, though to look at her you feel the weight of her sacrifice, the good in her heart, and the hope she gives. She has many living plushies around her keeping her company. Others work help her run this city and ease her burden. She is the new sovereign of Evermore.

Portals have fractured open across the city, bridging pathways to distant realms and foreign cosmos. Millions of refugees and travelers arrive en masse, seeking the promise of a fresh start in a realm with limitless room to grow.

Order is maintained through direct force: the city’s ancient golems immediately strike down anyone who incites violence, a lesson newcomers learn swiftly. As the population swells, new laws and social systems struggle to take root.
