His flesh, our sustenance. His blood, our drink. His bones, our foundation, His body, our haven.
Five hundred years ago, the Earth was dying. Water polluted, dirt infertile, forests and meadows crumbling to the wars of steel and fire. And so the Order called His Grace, the Lord of Communion, down from where he rested before and He allowed humanity to rest inside his body.
Or at least, that’s the story the Order tells.
You grew up under the masked faces of their Exalted, under the stories of Earth past. Rusted metal and cracked plastic; His bone and His flesh. Conflicting worlds, conflicting times, and soon, it might all come to a head.
Features
- Play as a recruit of the Order, an Exalted.
- Be male, female, trans, or nonbinary.
- Customize your appearance, talents, and worldview.
- Romance(or befriend, or antagonize) five separate characters.
- Shape yourself—are you pragmatic or empathetic? Do you speak out or remain silent? Do you trust the Order, and do they trust you?
- Align yourself with different factions, all pursuing different—sometimes incongruous—goals.
- Experience a world of greater things than you can imagine, but where your choices still matter.
Romance Options
Tallis/Talyn/Talia | The Dissident
Gender selectable. Green eyes and long, auburn hair, charismatic and cunning all at once, able to switch façades on a dime. Your childhood friend—Or, at least, companion. They aren’t the biggest fan of the Order. Perhaps that will have greater implications than simple complaints as the situation grows more dire.
August | The Exalt
Blonde, sharp, and severe, he’s the one who brought you into the fold. As close to a mentor, a lifeline, as you have in the tall spires of the Order. Dedicated to His Grace—a zealot, some might call him. The Order doesn’t name His Grace as a God, but August certainly seems to think that He is.
El | The Mechanic
Long, thick black hair, skin tanned and freckled. She’s a mechanic of the Order, though you might not know that on first glance. Talented, there’s no doubt about it, despite her occasional airheadedness. Sometimes, you can’t help but feel that she’s hiding something.
Jasper | The Outlander
Gender selectable. Muscled either way, with dark skin and deep brown eyes. Loud and arrogant—and they have what it takes to back that personality up. As the first new arrival to the Commune in… all of history, you have to wonder if they’re an omen or a savior. Either way, they’ll shatter everything that you thought you knew.
Icarus | The Overseer
The Head of the Order. Everything else about them is shrouded in mystery.
Content Warnings
- Copious mentions of blood/flesh(Nonhuman, not caused by violence.)
