Mhin Title: Lost Expeditions In a bygone era, before Eridia became the last beacon of humanity, there was Lovent. Yet where a bustling metropolis once stood, there is now only a blasted crater and empty ruins, blanketed by fog. The inhabitants, and large chunks of the city, had vanished into thin air. Over the following years, scholars flocked to the ruins in search of answers. Like the Loventians, they disappeared without a trace, and none ever returned.

Vere Character Lore: Bloodstained Snow The Senobium's archives hold countless records of stories that defy belief. One ancient report recounts the haunting of a remote village by what is described at first as a god, and then as a demon. Heavily redacted, the papers depict a team of researchers hunted by a self-proclaimed deity that transforms into a malignant entity. After the beast succumbs to freezing conditions, its ultimate fate is unknown-doubtlessly lost with the pages removed from the report.

✨ TOUCHSTARVED LORE: Vere Edition! ✨

I’d kill to read that Senobium report 👀

Oh… 😳💦 haha here’s my jugular Vere

Ais Title: Death Knell Whispers echo about a fearsome Monster within the Shroud, their overwhelming power and authority stretching across the realm’s underworld. Few have seen the face of this infamous ruler. As Monsters continued to abandon the Shroud to seek thrills in the human realm, the being stayed behind, devouring forsaken domains and Monsters alike until no challenges were left. Now, as the being seeks conquest elsewhere, Monsters stir in anticipation of impending carnage.

✨ TOUCHSTARVED LORE: Ais Edition! ✨

If he’s searching for conquest, I’m sure he can find it in MC’s room 😈

Leander Title: Man of the Hour Visitors drawn to Eridia are often surprised by the Senobium's apathy towards the surrounding city. Lacking the Senobium's protection, Lowtown has been divided into territories belonging to several gangs. While a significant portion is watched over by Leander, he refuses to stoop to bribes or senseless violence to maintain his power. Locals speak praise for the charming leader whose seemingly benign reign extends even below the city streets into the shadowed depths of the Silent Crypts.

✨ TOUCHSTARVED LORE: Leander Edition! ✨

I can see why the Adderstone adore him so much 🥹

Guys its true.... look what happened to Kuras 😭

working on some very important updates 🫡

Kuras Title: Divine Teacher The Senobium's folklorists note a curious pattern in humanity's oldest tales. Though the details vary, these stories share a common theme: an otherworldly teacher, bringing the divine gift of knowledge. Alchemy and literacy, art and war...supposedly this being shared all that they knew with the earliest civilizations. In some tales, the otherworldly teacher is a loving, benevolent figure. In others, they are a harbinger of chaos and ruin.

✨ TOUCHSTARVED LORE: Kuras Edition! ✨

Raise your hand if you’d love to learn a thing or two from Kuras 🙋

PLS LOL, i bet he likes wearing taller shoes too to make the gap bigger 🤣

YEA I’D LOVE TO CLIMB THAT TREE 🫣

In Eridia, lovers often exchange talismans etched with protective sigils to repel Fogfall and Soulless. Though their efficacy is dubious, enthusiasts claim that the charms only work when they are gifted, as proof that someone else wishes to protect your life.

LMAO he’ll make the most out of those wastelands 😭

HMMM sounds like there might have been foul play from Ais?? 👀

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! ❤️
