🌑 The World of Vareth’Lorn: The Drowned Expanse

There are lands that die quietly — fading beneath sand, swallowed by vines, forgotten in peace. But Vareth’Lorn was never meant to rest. It is a world that drowned screaming. Long ago, before the mists took the horizon, the continent was radiant and whole. The highlands blazed with sunlight, temples shone with divine gold, and the rivers sang hymns to the gods that walked among men.

🪞The Reflection Protocol – When Humanity Stares Too Long at Its Own Perfection

Elias Mercer woke up in a white room that hummed like a machine. The light was sterile—too clean, too constant. His breath fogged briefly before vanishing in the chilled air. The first thing he noticed was the suit. It clung to him like liquid glass—metallic blue, seamless, cold. It reflected the walls around him but not his face.

Cognitive integrity scan complete. Please remain calm.” Back from what? His mind was a…
