Journey into the World

Crimisa

Crimisa is a nation balanced between beauty and ruin, where villages cling to lakes and forests even as shadows gather at their borders. From the fishing coast of Nereid to the fields of White Wood, every place hums with myths and songs and quiet grief.


Beneath its surface lies a history of rebellion and repression, of families broken and remade by fire. Its people live under watchful eyes, where loyalty is demanded, and freedom is whispered only in secret. Yet in its rivers, woods, and starlit skies, the dream of something more still lingers.

Places of Note

Chroma

North Town

North Town

The heart of Crimisa, where cobblestone streets wind toward a square alive with markets, festivals, and voices carrying the news of the day. The clocktower rises above the crowd, its shadow stretching long across the stones. Here, beneath its tolling bell, laughter and grief mingle, and the air itself remembers the scent of ashes.

North Town

North Town

North Town

Its modest square lies still beside the lake, where trails slip away, winding and wild through the forest. Beneath the canopy, shadows breathe, and the air is heavy with secrets. Tucked in the sacred grove, mysteries gather in the hush of leaves, each whisper carrying the weight of timeless lore.

White Wood

North Town

White Wood

It stretches wide beneath open skies, where shepherds guide their flocks across pale fields and farmers tend the ageless rhythm of the land. The village moves with the seasons—slow, steady—its strength found in soil, harvest, and the kinship that endures.

Nereid

The Singing Cove

White Wood

It leans into the sea, where the tide is both labor and lullaby. Fishing boats drift with the waves, and the air is rich with salt and smoke. From its sprawling shore, the horizon unspools endlessly, a restless seam of water and light.

The Singing Cove

The Singing Cove

The Singing Cove

It is a wilderness of cliff and tide, unyielding and remote. A place that tests the soul, drawing wanderers in search of solitude, healing, or truths they cannot name. In its salt winds and endless waves, its song lingers—haunting, patient, and unbroken.
