Archivist Notes

Game world framework

The central setting is an ether-pocket construct, referred to as the House, which exists within the ether between worlds. It is a manifestation of the protagonist's power, taking the form of a suburban house and its immediate surroundings, including a backyard and a pool. The physical laws of the House are malleable; it is capable of generating new rooms, items, and even tools from the memories or desires of its inhabitants, such as a library, a garage workshop, and personal bedrooms.

Socially, the House serves as a neutral refuge. It is populated by individuals from various disparate worlds, including infernals, humans, elves, and dwarves, who have been involuntarily pulled into it. The group operates as a de facto household, bound by the shared goal of escaping the ether pocket and returning to their respective homes, but they generally coexist with a sense of camaraderie and mutual tolerance.

The ether itself is the fundamental energy of the multiverse, acting as both the medium for magic and a source of power for the House. Etherwalking is the primary method of travel between worlds, requiring a powerful ether-attuned individual (the protagonist) to breach the barriers. While the House is rich in ether, it paradoxically makes performing complex magic difficult, and the ether in a "lost" world like Earth is described as "rough," draining the power and lifespan of ether-dependent beings like infernals. This universe is also governed by a complex political landscape, with the "Eternal Edicts" serving as a primary source of conflict, especially the forced prohibition of male Infernal offspring. A secret faction within Infernal society seeks to circumvent this Edict by creating a pure male Infernal to restore their kind to power.

The narrative begins with the protagonist and Azraesha navigating their new reality, his growing power, and the arrival of other displaced individuals: the mage student Caitlin, the elf Lyriel, the pirate Naomi, the dwarf mechanic Blair, and the shaman Yona.

The story's climax occurs as the protagonist and Azraesha confront her old mentor, Mikhaella, and learn the true nature of her past, forcing her to choose between her old allegiances and her new life in the House. Concurrently, Caitlin's quest to understand her parents' disappearance leads her to discover the small dragon Orvin, the last link to them.
