Tidefall Lore
The EPIC NEW FANTASY WORLD of Tidefall
You wash ashore on a storm battered beach, with only the faint outline of a distant town ahead. This is Tidefall, a land of warring kings, lurking monsters, and long-lost secrets.
Across the island, rulers fight for power while a self appointed Goblin King plots to awaken an ancient technology he hopes will grant him total control. As chaos spreads and dark forces stir, every choice you make could tip the balance.
Your story in Tidefall starts here. Survive the storm, discover the mysteries of the island, and shape the fate of this fragile realm.

The Storm
The colossal arcane storm that has sealed Tidefall from the outside world for fifty years, is a swirling wall of dark clouds, unrelenting winds, and crushing waves. Ships that dare its waters vanish, and those who brave the storm from land risk madness, while beasts emerging from its boundary mutate into twisted reflections of the Storm’s fury.
The thunder’s roar and the wind’s screaming merge together, and at times sound eerily like many anguished voices from the heavens. Crystals charged by the storm occasionally wash ashore or form in underground caverns, pulsing with volatile energy coveted by mages and warriors alike.
The storm’s influence extends beyond just its destructive power, cults dedicated to the maelstrom have sprung up all over the island and even those further inland have started to go storm-mad.
Madness and The call of the storm
Clad in tattered dark blue robes, the Storm’s worshippers roam the coastline, declaring the storm a deity named Kiamat, a living force that heralds the end of times. For these fanatics, every clap of thunder is a promise of the world’s final reckoning.
Chanting prayers to appease Kiamat, the Storm’s Worshippers live in scattered groups. Outcasts by choice or necessity, they often reside in squalid camps or wander as beggars, viewed with a mix of fear and pity by the rest of Tidefall.
Zealous cults have formed across Tidefall, each sect following its own path. Some hold solemn rituals, some might take perilous pilgrimages to Stormpoint, hoping to hear Kiamat’s voice in the howling wind, whilst a more militant few are focused on bringing about a new world order.

The Storm Cults are scattered groups who worship Kiamat as a living force announcing the end of all things. Each sect follows its own path, some hold solemn rituals, some might take perilous pilgrimages to Stormpoint, whilst a more militant few attempt to bring about a new world order.
Many forsake worldly possessions, wearing tattered dark blue robes and chanting prayers to appease the storm. The most devout believe that venturing into Kiamat’s boundary can grant them divine truth or salvation.

THE People of tidefall
Tidefall is a living, breathing world of politics, conflict and conspiracy
Tidefall is an island wrapped in storms, but its greatest dangers often come from within. The Quince Brothers, each controlling vast territories, wage a quiet war of influence, testing the limits of their uneasy truce. A young king struggles to command respect, leaving a power vacuum that ambitious nobles and shadowy factions rush to fill.
As plots tighten around the throne, the Goblin Horde grows bolder in the wilds, threatening the fragile peace that holds civilised lands together.
In this realm, every choice matters. A whispered rumour can topple alliances, and a single favour might set off a chain of events that leads to rebellion or ruin. Whether you seek to restore order, exploit chaos, or simply survive, the people of Tidefall watch and remember.
Meet Darion Quince
Darion is the ruler of Sarnath, bastion of the South. A fortress city built from rare dark stone and sits strategically on the great river Sarn. At the centre of the city, the impenetrable Black Keep rises, set against a backdrop of mountain peaks and dominating the landscape.
Famous for being an impressive tactician, progressive builder and advocate for rapid development. Darion is also an unforgiving authoritarian. Blunt, efficient and a forthright politician who rules Sarnath with an iron fist.
On the surface it appears that the southern and northern regions of Tidefall are in a state of peace, however propaganda from Darion’s brother Eramos, the equally ambitious and infinitely more charismatic merchant governor of Veloria, has added a bitter tension to any trade or cooperation between the largest two city states on the island.

“My brother should not be dismissed lightly, for all his pomp and bluster, his schemes threaten the whole of the island.”

THE landmarks of tidefall
A World Within the Maelstrom
King Aleron II’s rule may span from the slums of Veloria’s bustling port to the bleak stone of Sarnath’s Black ramparts, but no throne can tame the wild heart of this land.
No corner of Tidefall is truly safe or fully understood. Beneath moss-covered ruins and sprawling wastelands, lost machines sleep in the darkness, powered by ancient and arcane technologies.
Whether you seek fame or survival, step lightly. Tidefall does not suffer the careless, and its secrets were never meant for the weak.
