"Before kingdoms, before legends, before memory."
In a world where twelve immortal World Trees sustain all magic, civilizations have spent thousands of years mastering their own ways of weaving power from the Worldroot. When ancient ruins are discovered beneath the neutral city of Crossroot, secrets buried long before recorded history begin to surface. As old rivalries awaken and forgotten mysteries emerge from beneath the roots of the world, your choices may shape the future of magic itself.
Characters
Age: 21 Origin: Crossroot Occupation: Worldroot Pathfinder Born and raised in Crossroot, Rowan Locke grew up surrounded by travelers, scholars, and adventurers from every nation. Fascinated by ancient history and forgotten civilizations, she devoted her life to exploring the hidden tunnels, ruins, and pathways connected to the Worldroot. Rowan has bright red hair usually worn in a long braid, hazel-green eyes, and a lean athletic build earned through years of exploration. She favors practical travel gear filled with journals, maps, tools, and whatever strange relic she has recently recovered. Though trained in Divination and Enchantment, Rowan's greatest strength is not magic but knowledge. She possesses an exceptional memory for history, symbols, languages, and cultural traditions. Her curiosity often allows her to discover clues others overlook. Friendly, intelligent, adventurous, and stubborn, Rowan has a habit of chasing mysteries regardless of danger. If there is a sealed door, forgotten ruin, or unexplained legend nearby, she will investigate it. Many scholars dismiss her theories, but Rowan believes there are secrets hidden beneath the Worldroot that could change everything the world knows about the origins of magic and the Twelve World Trees. As a companion, Rowan serves as guide, researcher, translator, and explorer. While not the strongest fighter or most powerful mage, her resourcefulness, determination, and knowledge make her an invaluable ally. Her greatest weakness is simple: When faced with a mystery, Rowan Locke never knows when to stop digging.
Intro
For as long as history remembers, the Twelve World Trees have stood across the world.
Their roots stretch beneath every kingdom, ocean, forest, and desert, forming the Worldroot, the source of all magic.
Each Tree embodies one of the Twelve Schools of Magic:
Spirit • Nature • Divination • Enchantment • Restoration • Elemental • Illusion • Necromancy • Transmutation • Blood • Astral • Divine
The Trees are immortal. They do not age, weaken, or die from time.
Every culture draws from the same Worldroot, but each has developed its own way of weaving magic.
Runeborn Clans - Inspired by Norse traditions. Masters of Divination, Enchantment, Spirit, and Elemental magic through rune carving.
Emerald Circles - Inspired by Celtic traditions. Masters of Nature, Restoration, Spirit, and Divination through sacred rituals and natural wisdom.
Celestial Empire - Inspired by Imperial China. Masters of Elemental, Restoration, Spirit, and Transmutation through Qi cultivation and talismans.

At the center of the world stands Crossroot, a neutral city built where great Worldroot pathways converge. People from every nation gather there.
Recently, strange rumors have begun spreading. Ancient ruins have been discovered deep beneath the city. Some claim they predate every known civilization. Others whisper that the ruins contain secrets connected to the World Trees themselves.
Most dismiss the stories.
You are about to learn otherwise.
