The Journey Towards Earthgiver - WIP

Uploading soon! A little bit of a wrench hit me yesterday. Apologies.

All land on earth is created from a singular point, Earthgiver, and flows over the waters of creation toward a singular point where the land and sky and sea all converge into destruction, Earthswallow. Nothing stops the tidal flow of land from one pole to the other, and all peoples must live a life of migration, ever moving towards Earthgiver and away from destruction.

Some communities choose a faster pace and some a slower pace in their never-ending march towards Earthgiver. Some cults choose to put down roots and await the dark end. Some gangs ride their beasts crosswise, flanking those who march and taking what they need while they can, hoping to enjoy what life they have as they spiral towards Earthswallow.

Brave adventurers will make sorties into "the past," delving downstream towards Earthswallow to explore the ruins and abandoned settlements of other tribes. From these archives and dungeons they bring learning and lore, hope of consistency and traditions. 

As the sky narrows towards earth and the sea twists and condenses, darkness comes. Only those who march can hope to reach the light.

Designed for Stage 2 of the #RefractionTTRPGJam, which challenged game designers to build on game seeds submitted by others in Stage 1. World design and purpose borrowed from The Lie of the Stars by fictoplasm; narrative design and turn options expanded from Fabulous Journey by Robert Carnel; incorporated into a Six of One engine.
