In the depths of the Somnolent Quarter, a disillusioned Dreamsmith named Arlen grapples with the haunting echoes of memories he failed to extract.

Fractured mirror reflecting infinite possibilities.A light that flickers, growing fainter as it burns.A map with missing sections, the edges curling and aged.Whispers bearing tales of legacy unfulfilled.Hands stained black with the ink of rewritten memories.

Lore notes

The Mnemonic Expanse is a sprawling metropolis where memories take physical form and compete for real estate, creating a landscape as unstable as the human mind. Established after a mysterious surge in psychic phenomena, the city houses Dreamsmiths who capture and collect memories to keep the urban chaos at bay. A strange field envelops the area, warping perception and twisting time, making it especially difficult for those without deep experience to navigate. Memory theft is the most heinous crime here, punished by exile. Each district pulsates with fragmented recollections, constantly rearranging, presenting a living puzzle that challenges its inhabitants daily.
