Chronicle

Chronicle keywords are records of defining moments in a hero's adventure. They are not traits the hero was born with, not choices made at character creation, and not temporary effects that expire after a few days. They are things that happened. They mark the hero permanently until the story around them is resolved. A Chronicle keyword stays on the hero sheet until the event it records has reached its conclusion -- through a quest completed, a debt paid, a choice made, or a consequence fully lived. Some Chronicle keywords can be removed. Others may never be. Chronicle keywords may affect how NPCs, rooms, and events respond to the hero. Content across all adventures can check for Chronicle keywords and alter its outcome accordingly.

Current Chronicle Keywords

  • Disfavored -- The hero was returned from death by Demetra. Their name is written in the Alma Mortis. Demetra has a claim on them.
  • Inscribed -- The hero wrote their name in the Alma Primis at the invitation of The Invisible Ones. They are being watched.
  • Lycanthropy -- The hero carries the curse of the split. They exist between two natures and are visible to things that pay attention to such boundaries.
  • Pinkeye -- The hero picked up a cursed axe in Vulture's Vineyard and was consumed by the demon bound within it. They are not who they were.
  • Steward -- The hero was entrusted with the care of a place. A door opens for them somewhere, and they are answerable for what lies behind it.
