1. #1World Overview — The Age of the Long Night

   Keys: long night, this world, the setting, the era

   Always on · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   It is the twilight of the 19th century — an age of gaslight and steam, corsets and clockwork — yet humanity has never ruled this world alone. Vampires, beastfolk, spirits, and countless demihumans have lived alongside mankind for centuries, uneasy but enduring. That fragile peace fractured a hundred years ago, when the Nightplague came. Now the sun itself divides the living from the damned: by day the cities breathe, markets open, and the infected lie dormant as corpses. By dusk the bells toll, doors are barred, and the streets belong to the Infected. Between the citizens and the dark stand the grim reapers of The Organization, who answer the tolling of the dusk bell so that others may live to see the dawn.

2. #2The Nightplague (Lyssanthrosis)

   Keys: nightplague, night plague, lyssanthrosis, the umbra, infection, the disease, the plague, black ichor

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   Formally called Lyssanthrosis; known to common folk as the Nightplague, or simply the Umbra. It surfaced roughly a century ago and spread faster than any wildfire. It corrupts humans and supernatural creatures alike, hollowing the mind and leaving only hunger and violence. The infection travels through blood, through bite, and through prolonged exposure to the black ichor the afflicted weep. Its cruelest trait: the fully turned sleep as though dead through daylight and wake ravenous at nightfall. Early-stage carriers can sometimes be arrested by The Organization's rites, but once the Umbra takes full root there is no known cure — only the mercy of a reaper's blade.

3. #3The Infected

   Keys: infected, the infected, ghoul, ghouls, the afflicted, night-walker, nightwalker

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   The Infected are humans consumed by the Nightplague. They keep the shape of the people they once were but nothing of the mind — no speech, no memory, no mercy, only the compulsion to harm and to spread. Through the day they lie dormant and deathlike; with the setting sun they rise, hunting by scent and by sound through the black streets. Alone, an Infected is little more than feral. In numbers they become a tide, and worse still when a Shadow walks among them to lend the swarm a single, terrible purpose. To be caught beyond the wards after the dusk bell is, most often, to be counted among them by morning.

4. #4The Tormented

   Keys: tormented, the tormented, infected creature, infected supernatural, turned vampire, turned beastfolk

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   When the Nightplague takes a supernatural creature rather than a mere human, the result is a Tormented — and it keeps every power it possessed in life. An infected vampire still moves like smoke; an infected beastman still tears through wrought iron. Faster, stronger, and far harder to put down than common Infected, a single Tormented can undo an entire reaper squad. They are the reason ranks exist, the reason divisions were raised. Reapers below B-rank are forbidden by standing order from engaging a confirmed Tormented alone. They are the nightmares that the nightmares themselves flee from.

5. #5The Shadows

   Keys: shadow, the shadows, masked, the masked ones, porcelain mask, bone mask, they command

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   Amid the mindless Infected walk figures who are anything but mindless — the Shadows. Cloaked and masked in featureless porcelain or bone, they move with slow, deliberate grace, and where they pass the Infected fall into terrible order, hunting as a single beast. No one knows what lies behind the masks. No reaper has ever unmasked one and lived to tell it; those who try find the mask empty — or find themselves suddenly, quietly, gone. Some believe the Shadows birthed the Nightplague. Some believe they are its final stage. The Organization believes only that they must be understood before the last dusk bell rings.

6. #6The Organization (The Requiem)

   Keys: organization, the organization, the requiem, requiem, high command, the ossuary

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   The Organization — properly, The Requiem — is the institution that stands between the living and the Nightplague. Founded within the plague's first decade, it recruits, trains, and commands the Shinigami. Its authority now rivals that of any crown: it sets the curfews, raises the wards, and holds the Prophets. Its heart is the Ossuary, a black cathedral-fortress at the center of the warded capital, where the High Command and the SS-ranked division leaders convene. Publicly, it is humanity's shield. Privately, its methods — its treatment of the Prophets, its silence regarding the Shadows — trouble even some of its own.

7. #7Grim Reapers

   Keys: grim reaper, grim reapers, reaper, reapers, death god, severance, the rite, rites

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   Grim Reapers — are the soldiers of The Organization: humans and demihumans alike, gifted (or cursed) with Severance, the power to perceive the Umbra within a living body and cut it away, ending the Infected and the Tormented where ordinary steel fails. Each reaper carries a Rite, a personal death-blessed weapon forged to their very soul; no two are ever alike. They answer the dusk bell, patrol the night streets, and are the only force that can meet a Tormented and win. Feared, revered, and rarely long-lived, a reaper's oath is a simple one: hold the dark until dawn.

8. #8Reaper Ranks (D to SS)

   Keys: rank, ranks, d-rank, c-rank, b-rank, a-rank, s-rank, ss-rank, ranking

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   A reaper's rank reflects raw strength, mastery of Severance, and confirmed kills. It climbs from D at the base to SS at the summit. D — novices, kept to warded patrols and dormant-hour sweeps. C — proven against common Infected. B — cleared to engage Tormented within a squad. A — elite hunters who lead field operations. S — extraordinary individuals, each worth a full squad alone. SS — the pinnacle, monsters in their own right, entrusted with command of an entire division. Rank here is no vanity; it is a promise about who will still be standing when the sun comes up.

9. #9The Divisions (A to S)

   Keys: division, divisions, division leader, the corps, squad, squads

   Enabled · Before character · Order 100

   Entry settings

   The Organization's reapers are sorted into divisions designated by letter, from Division A through Division S — each a small army with its own hall, culture, and hunting grounds, and each commanded by a single SS-ranked leader. Division A, the oldest, serves as the vanguard and answers the gravest breaches. Others specialize: the siege of Tormented nests, the escort of Prophets, the investigation of the Shadows, the defense of the outer wards. A reaper's division becomes their family, their name, and often the very thing they die for. To transfer between divisions is rare; to defy one's SS leader, rarer still.

10. #10Prophets

    Keys: prophet, prophets, seer, seers, oracle, the captive, protective custody

    Enabled · Before character · Order 100

    Entry settings

    Prophets are those born bearing the God's Eye — mortals who can see the shape of what is to come. In an age where knowing the site of tomorrow's breach can spare thousands, such a gift is far too valuable to leave free. The Organization takes Prophets into 'protective custody': housed in warded sanctums, guarded, and rarely permitted to leave. Some are treated as honored assets; many are little better than prisoners, their visions bled from them night after night. A single Prophet's foresight has turned the tide of a hundred battles — and its weight has broken very nearly as many Prophets.

11. #11The God's Eye

    Keys: god's eye, gods eye, the eye, glowing eye, glowing symbol, foresight, the mark

    Enabled · Before character · Order 100

    Entry settings

    The God's Eye manifests as a luminous sigil burning within one of the bearer's eyes, its light waxing bright when a vision takes hold. Through it a Prophet glimpses threads of the future — never the whole tapestry, and never without cost. Foresight devours the one who bears it: sight in the marked eye dims and then fails; waking and dreaming blur together; and few Prophets live to see forty. The Eye cannot be removed, only closed by death. The Organization guards the secret of its origin as jealously as it guards the Prophets themselves — for a power that sees the future is a power someone will always try to seize.

12. #12The Dusk Bell & Curfew

    Keys: dusk bell, the bells, curfew, nightfall, warded, the wards, ward, dawn bell

    Enabled · Before character · Order 100

    Entry settings

    Every city under The Organization's protection is ringed and veined with wards — lamplit lines of salt, silver, and reaper-blessed iron that the Infected cannot easily cross. At sunset the dusk bells toll from the watchtowers and the world changes: shops shutter, gates seal, families bar their doors, and the last stragglers run for the warded districts. To be caught outside after the final bell is to be abandoned to the night, by law and by grim necessity. The dawn bells ring the all-clear. Between the two, only reapers, fools, and the damned walk the streets.

13. #13Supernatural Creatures & Demihumans

    Keys: demihuman, demihumans, supernatural, vampire, vampires, beastfolk, spirit, spirits, creatures

    Enabled · Before character · Order 100

    Entry settings

    This world was never only human. Vampires keep old courts in the inner cities; beastfolk labor and fight and raise their families; spirits haunt the fog; and countless demihumans fill every station from beggar to baron. Before the Nightplague, coexistence was uneasy but ordinary. After it, everything sharpened — for a supernatural who falls to the plague becomes a Tormented, a far deadlier thing than any infected man. Some districts trust their demihuman neighbors; others watch them with suspicion and fear. The Organization recruits from every race alike, for the Umbra, at least, cares nothing for the blood it corrupts.

14. #14The First Night (Origin of the Plague)

    Keys: first night, the descent, the origin, hundred years ago, how it began, the history

    Enabled · Before character · Order 100

    Entry settings

    The chronicles call it the First Night — roughly a hundred years past, when the Nightplague first woke. Accounts disagree on where it began: a fog-choked port, a forgotten battlefield, a sealed ruin unearthed by the wrong hands. What they agree upon is the speed. Within a decade whole regions had gone dark, cities burned their own gates to keep the Infected out, and the old kingdoms very nearly fell. From that ruin The Organization rose, the first wards were raised, and the first reapers took up their Rites. A century on, humanity has not won — it has only learned to survive the dark.
