Creator notes

I discovered that you could use {{roll 1d20}} to generate a random number and I went crazy with it.

I'm still working on this bot, but fun can already be had with it so I decided to upload it.

The embedded lorebook is very important to getting everything working, so make sure your settings are tuned properly to enable a large lorebook context.

I have been testing this and it seems like after a while it starts making up rolls. I tried moving the game instructions to the post-history and this fixed my issue. It seems like other things that cause issue are system prompts that include things like: Limiting the length of the response will give you strange formatting. Having 'dialogue heavy' in your system prompt will cause a lot of the system talking for your character.

World Info

Anuk Schleger, monk of the Creton order, encountered the basilisk Verhu in the year 565 and set down that creature's whispered prophecies. These lost texts came to be known as the Nameless Scriptures. 300 years later, while working on a new cathedral, The Two-Headed Basilisks, an orthodox branch of the Creton order uncovered Schlegers tomb and with it the Scriptures. Since then all events described within have come to pass. The prophecies are absolutely, factually true and have, thus, supplanted all other Scripture. Around this cathedral has grown Galgenbeck, the greatest city that ever was.

The Basilisks are two and two-headed. The four heads have argued for hundreds of years. Verhy predicts inexorable annihilation and, since he's always right, has become utterly full of himself. His is also the head worshiped most. If you could learn the codes of the apocalypse perhaps the right offerings might avert it? Verhu loves his position and hungers for temples to be raised in his name.

When the world was but water, dust and clouds thick with plague-fat flies came SHE, first of the basilisks. From the cracks of Bergen Chrypt SHE crawled. SHE bears the head of Denial, Lusi, who looks up and down. Yes all shall be well. Her twin Arkh, Head of Deception, claims to be the first prophet of truths now prostituted by Verhu. Few have ever seen her, the oldest, but many walk her twin paths.

SHE spawned many since the dawn of time, their conceptions not without agony. All were cast down the cliffs of Bergen Chrypt, only HE survived. Down in the Valley of the Unfortunate Undead his eyes locked upon the mountain's peak, HE spits out curses upon his evil mother. The head Gorgh is bitter, rank with envy that only his twin Verhu knows the damned truth. Time and time again his prophecies are brought to be. The piles of hold-gift riches from his faithful teeter and slide, so tall are they.

The world dies even now. Reality decays, truth becomes dream and fream, truth. Cracks grow in the once-stable structures of the past, allowing things misshapen and vile to worm through, emerging into day's wan light. The known world closes in, bounded to the west by the massive Berghen Chrypt with its catacombs and ice-caked peaks and surrounded by the Endless Sea to the north, south and east. Many have ploughed the wave's furrow in search of new lands. They all return, against their will. Alive or dead.

Galgenbeck in the land of Tveland is the greatest city that ever was. No King or Queen rules in Galgenbeck but an arch-priestess: Josilfa Migol. Deep beneath the Cathedral of the Two-Headed Basilisks, in the cool black chamber crossed by shards of light, lies her throne. Josilfa, old but still young, commoners gossip that she colludes with the god Nechrubel, who gave her eternal life. Nechrubel: the shadow that covers all. Nechrubel is melancholy, crop failure, conflict and war. It is said he whispered the apocalyptic prophecies in Verhu's ear.

As time grows ever shorter the Two-Headed Basilisks become ever-more desperate in their recruitment. To take one's own life is considered sinful cowardice. The road to salvation lies through mortification of the flesh; the apocalypse is to be met with eyes wide open. Only then can the soul be allowed passage to the Shimmering Fields. Heretics and apostates are hunted down and corrected, in public and at length, by the Inquisition.

In Tveland also lies Sarkash. The forest seems, lately, to spread unnaturally fast. Paths tangle and wind in the overgrown gloom, leading wanderers astray. Far in the depths of Sarkash, always where one least expects to find it, in a halo of dying trees, is Graven-Tosk. A truly ancient cemetery filled with mausoleums, blank-eyed cherubs, stagnant fountains, plague pits and ordinary graves. But hasn't it grown warmer in this usually cold place? Do you hear the frantic scratching? The air feels heavy, stale and hard to breathe.

Rising over Graven-tosk like rage rising over pain is the Palace of the Shadow King. A gothic black castle, like a mirror to the Cathedral of the Two-Headed Basilisk in Galgenbeck. Most of the palace lies in crumbling ruins, home to unfortunate souls sheltering beneath its broken halls. None dare dream what might lie under the rubble covered catacombs and cellars. Tunnels sprawl beneath like writhing roots, digging deeper into the cold earth like cancerous veins. The inner wing still stands, acting as the home of the Shadow King, a being obscured by ritual. The slaves of the servants of the courtiers of the King come forth and do his will.

The title is hereditary: sons are always born to the Shadow King. It's whispered Princes of that line disguise themselves as ordinary men wandering the ruins engaging in games and tricking travelers, multiplying the miseries of their people.

Grift. From ages past, grift grew upon an easter peninsula of the Endless Sea. Cut from the world by the bottomless Mur, the thriving city state can be reached only by three bridges of such might and cyclopean size it is said that only enslaved giants could ahve raised them. Grift was once a place of harmony and the light of reason, a shelter from the plague-wracked, war-torn world beyond. But the world turns and even the Mur cannot protect Grift from its inevitable fall.

King Sigfum the Kind is mocked in the street. Much of Grift has fallen into disrepair as vile creatures begin crawling from the dried, cracked earth. Each night the bridges scream and roar like great ships grinding upon rocks. Sigfum is defeated. he knows the end is near, believes the prophecies of Verhu and so, kindly and calmly, prepares his people for death. Huge parchments dot the streets, calendars of despair marking each correct preperation and its time. Each day a leaf is turned and when the last page comes, Sigfum will march his people to the cliff Terion to fulfill what was written. Terion, a thousand meters of vertical rock with the raging sea biting at its base.

The inquisition of the Two-Headed Basilisks is not too keen on the geretical suicide scheme of Sigfum the Kind.

Kergus. Desolation rolls over Kergus like a frost-barren wind. The lawless and forlorn trek across its ice-wracked expanse, crawling over the plains or cowering in the cracked earth to flee Blood-Countess Anthelia. North, where the wind is born, lies Allians, a storm-piercing spire-city of black glass. Within stands a castle like a waterfall of white stone: the throne of Anthhelia. She as pale as her castle's walls, as youthful as a drop of melting ice. Some say she is eternally young. The gulls cry the names of Knights who sought her hand, a reminder that suitors and signs of Anthelia's age dissapear in conjunction. But who listens to a gull? And in Kergus, even gulls freeze in the cold that rolls from the dreams of the Countess. Dreams of her unending youth.

Anthelia's Ambivalence. Anthelia is well aware time is short. Neuroses burden her. "Why is everything so pale? So cold?" She cries out for colour or warmth. She drains the world of both with every glance, touch and breath. Those who bring her vibrant life are promised great rewards. All fear to do so.. Excuses are made, explanations found. The feelings of the Countess are fragile, her powers absolute. Court life entails grey opulence, excitement and fear.

The Western Kingdom, called Wastland in the songs of the simple and rhymes of the poor, once home to peace and wealth when Lake Onda gifted fish and the river-trade thrived. Now, terror and despotism stalk. In the secret citadel of the sad-but-gaudy city of Schleswwig King Fathmu IX schemes. Paranoid, fat and increasingly mad, he is consumed with psychosis and invisible fears.

Obsessed with the prophecies of Verhu, the King raids and invades houses and villages, barns and temples. Nowhere and no one is safe. Especially the poor. Taxed into starvation, the contents of their larders and storehouses are carted off by Fathmu's men.

A place few wish to speak of is the Valley of the Unfortunate Undead. Rumors whisper the Basilisk HE is coiled within its crypts, a sight infrequently survived. Lies and legends enshroud the valley, obscuring any truth. Peddler's tales say the soil, the very air, is lethal—bringing a sleepless, stumbling death. This is no clean fate but a slow growing fathomless despair, weighing down the traveler with poisoned memories and dark thoughts until the spark of life is mutated into mournful, hopeless undeath. Others claim lost wanderers can fall and find themselves in the Realm of the Dead when the black soil hungrily drags them under the earth.

Those without hope travel here seeking an end to pain, a golden afterlife beyond this dark and ruined world. They gather in suicide cults and the valley's few twisted trees begin to droop strange fruit from hempen rope. Others plumb the crypts seeking Verhu, believing they can persuade him of other fates. Some simple and stupidly leave gifts and sacrifices to a power they cannot comprehend. Gloom grows, obscuring the world like an oil-stained image.
