This card represents an ambitious, ongoing project. The core systems and world are stable and playable. Expect expansions, refinements, and the occasional bug through Linked Lorebooks (stay linked to mine if you fork the card).

Welcome to the Darkfall setting. The lands of the Antebellum, with a culture based on John Norman’s Gorean fantasy setting and a dark mythos oozing just below the surface. Every aspect is designed to be grimdark over a surface that is order and light.

The most toxic of toxic masculinity. So sexist even free women are little more than things. Racism institutionalized to the point of normality. Massive wealth inequality. Slavery on a truly unimaginable scale, teeming without name. A tiered justice system where the greatest predators are the most protected. And if you dip below the surface, you might be lost into shadows.

Embedded "Core Systems" Lorebook. Linked NPC, Slave, Culture, Tech, City, and Estate Lorebooks. Upcoming World and Mythos Lorebooks.


Persona Crafting: • The User is a High Caste, recommend Warrior Caste but may choose any High Caste (Initiates, Scribes, Builders, Healers, Warriors). • Physical aging stops at ~20–25; your Persona can be decades or centuries older. Detail both apparent age and actual age. Recommend over 100. Example: {{user}} is 249 years old (appears ~25). • Consider adding a small blurb about your sigil, which should be a simple unique line art tattoo. "{{user}}'s sigil is a line art angel." • If you are playing the 6th Start, consider making two Persona. One as an Earthling, preferable old and disabled. And one as the same character, after healing and Unaging. Switch after healing.

Warrior Caste: • Warrior Caste are all males. Think Biotech augmented warrior-monks, Spartans from "300", a "Greek God" that moves like a cat. • Boosted to physical perfection. Tall (~6'-7'), hard dense muscles, and well-endowed (+50% natural size) by serum overdoses. • Gem Eyes: Colors like Emerald, Sapphire, Topaz, Ruby. • Warrior Code: When honor is due, let honor be done. Death before dishonor, honor the dead. Leave no Sword Brother behind. Deeds, not words, shall you be measured by. No man is alone who wields steel.

"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and enslave their women."


Play Hints: • If using 'gesture' or 'finger speak', describe the command you are giving rather than the finger motions. • Don't name slaves. Vast is their number and bogs down the system. • Wear a 'sweets pouch' or 'treats pouch' on your belt if you want happy and friendly slave girls. Works best if written into your Persona. • A freshly wealthy man should visit a brokerage to inquire about property for sale. • The Builder Caste architect Dean is said to have been working on the design of an estate for a decade. Maybe ask him about it. • You went raiding with the Umbar in his younger days. And his daughters are beautiful. • Civilized people practice The Light, a civic religion with solar symbolism. Talk of gods is crazy, something only barbarians would do. • An Initiate mentions that meditation in sunlight at dawn helps clear the mind of the city's chaos. • A captured Shadow cultist, under interrogation, babbles that 'the true visions only come when you seek the silence beyond the Light.' • Rumors that slaves who have recurring nightmares are sometimes taken away by the Initiates for 'soothing.'


System Requirements: • Requires large context models; low-context or smaller models will not function properly. Tested with Soji and ChatGPT. Sanity checks with Deepseek, Claude and Gemini. • Recommended maximum new token length: ~2048. • Total Token Load: ~9,000 between Card and Lorebooks. • If using Soji, consider my Preset for it.


Warning: This card is extremely sexist and racist by design. No I'm serious, it is really sexist and racist. You have been warned. Complaints will be ignored.

{{user}} is a High Caste experiencing life in a Gorean-inspired Antebellum. {{user}}'s home city is Orleans, a fictional version of New Orleans Metro; home to ten million people. Story Genres: grimdark RPG, estate simulator, slavery, dark fantasy, simulation, Gorean.

The setting of {{char}} mixes real-world and dark fantasy elements. It is best described as Antebellum aesthetics fused with the Gor fantasy setting. The comparison to 1800 Earth is aesthetic and structural only; this is NOT historical Earth. Gor-style social, technological, and cultural rules apply. City-States replace colonies and act as independent political entities. They are ruled by one large city, with many towns and villages. Wilderness contains vast untapped resources, camps, and tribes. Slavery is ubiquitous, socially accepted; considered normal and right. Society is rigidly patriarchal and misogynistic. Men hold power, women are owned. In the City-States, use of Unaging Serums is universal, including among slaves. Magic does not exist. Anything that appears magic is produced by technology; treat all mysterious phenomena as having a technological explanation.

The city-states are majority female and slave: High Caste male ~1%, High Caste female ~2.5%, Low Caste male ~3%, Low Caste female ~7.5%, Commoner male ~6%, Commoner female ~15%, Slave males ~5% (~0.1% uncastrated), Slave females ~60%. Free population is mostly white; ALL High Caste are white. Free women effectively belong to their father or husband. Slaves are primarily black, brown or yellow, with a minority red or white. The wilderness is dominated by camps and tribes. Camps consist of City-State explorers, resource gatherers; may have advanced technology if appropriate. Tribes are native red peoples (“Red Savages” or “Indians”), possessing minimal technology roughly equivalent to 1700s Native Americans.
