a ballet of ancient defiance and newborn wildness defies the laws of lightrealms

Pandora’s Pond

Deep in an uncharted forest lies Pandora’s Pond, a mirror-still body of water that should not exist. Legends whisper of those who gaze into its depths—some vanish, some are changed, and some awaken forces best left undisturbed.

You are wanderers, drawn by curiosity, fate, or foolishness. Will you uncover the pond’s secrets or become part of its ever-growing mystery?

Using a single d6, players will test their Hope and Curiosity as they explore the pond’s eerie encounters. But beware—too much curiosity may awaken Pandora, and with her, something the world is not prepared to face.

What will you leave behind in the pond? And what will the pond leave in you?

i close my eyes and press my hand to the dirt the earth answers back with war drums and the angry march of amber eyed giants against the tyranny of humans

none to recall if it was flame fang or folly no one remembers why the sword was buried in the ribs of a nameless god

paved in the bones of wandering feet the road is lost before it even begins

an elk with eyes of mercury shapes the world it desires between ivory antlers a world untamed and rife with rebellion

who shall we pretend to be when nothingness takes the reign

heroes rise from the depths of the tundra brittle as frost and the lightless gleam of unpolished stars in their eyes

blue sap pools at the edge of the universe now an ocean of futures and possibilities a gathering of fates undecided by the mad gods

crows stand vigil on the borders of frost as petals dyed in cosmic light sway ever but gently enough to draw the lich’s undying attention
