Veil of Eldridge Shadows
World
This world-building template for a Lovecraftian text-based adventure game in Thalorion features cosmic horrors seeping into a fractured realm, twisting D&D races into nightmarish forms amid optional clothing norms symbolizing vulnerability (e.g., nudity aids void attunement but risks parasites). Core theme: Fragile adventurers uncover sanity-eroding knowledge. Atmospheric dread: Shadowed expanses with pulsing stars, crumbling ruins, and whispering entities. Cosmology: Entities like Whispering Ancients (slumbering behemoths causing anomalies), Outer Void (abyss of cyclopean horrors), and lesser aberrations. Origin: Ancients shattered the veil in war, birthing mutated races. Forbidden lore: Grimoires like the Bleeding Codex grant power but induce madness. History: Great Awakening birthed races; recent Veil’s Fraying spurred cults embracing nudity. Races with twists: Humans (cult-prone, echo-flesh mutations; rare clothing); Elves (paranoid immortality from trees; optional vines); Dwarves (stone-madness; minimal armor); Halflings (cursed luck; often nude); Gnomes (grotesque gadgets; nudity for inspiration); Orcs (shoggoth rages; scars as garb); Tieflings (void-amplified urges; avoided fabrics); Dragonborn (madness mists; shedding scales reveals weakness). Add more like void-tainted Aasimar. Locations: Start in fog-shrouded Eldridge Hollow tavern. Regions: Vision-inducing forests, underground ziggurats, submerged cities, cult cities with nudity rituals.
Story
Story Outline In Thalorion’s shattered horror-scape, blending Lovecraft dread with warped D&D folk, players start as nightmare-pulled probes—a scholar, mystic, miner—in misty Eldridge Hollow. A widening Outer Void tear births nudity cults summoning monsters, ravaging from bleeding woods to drowned metropolises. Quest: Unearth Bleeding Codex in depths, decoding Ancients’ veil-smashing war that spawned twisted kin. Sanity fades via beasts like shoggoths, straining bonds. Attire decisions: Naked boosts cosmic links for spells but amps risks like bugs or disdain. Builds to urban showdown: Close breach to save minds, merge with abyss for might, or yield to insanity, damning all to giants of terror. Sides delve histories, e.g., heal mutant allies or probe cursed towns, stressing futile existence against endless void. Elara Voss is a deranged human archaeologist from Eldridge Hollow, scarred by the Bleeding Codex with twitching extra fingers from “echo-flesh,” who avoids clothes to gain void visions but risks veil-worms and potential betrayal as a secretive ally. 2. Thrain Deepdelve is a tough dwarf miner plagued by rock hallucinations from deep ancients, wearing only tools to reject armor and free trapped echoes, serving as a neutral ruins guide who trades items but may anger horrors. 3. Lirael Whisperwind is a timeless elf mystic and wood protector paranoid from tree pacts, optionally wearing vines while nudity sharpens her terror senses for dodging whispers, acting as a compani
