HOME OF FOG & RAIN
A little familiar.
A little unexplained.
01 / THE ATMOSPHERE
A town first.
Mysteries all around it.
Oulbury is a present-day coastal island between Canada and the British Isles, with a history reaching back to 1405. Old streets, warm gathering places and a sense of isolation give ordinary days their own character.
There is room for friendship, work, romance, celebrations and quiet afternoons. The mystery is there when you want to explore it. Community life is a reason to be here all on its own.
The Longest Night
An island tradition shaped by an annual stretch of darkness. Follow its stories if they interest you, or let it remain a distant local legend.
02 / OPTIONAL FREEFORM ROLEPLAY
Bring your imagination.
Leave room for theirs.
Create the character and stories you want to write. No character application or lore exam is required. Humans, established Oulbury lineages, original supernatural concepts and anthropomorphic shapeshifters are welcome.
The lore is a creative reference. You do not need to adopt every detail or take part in official plots. Agree with your writing partners on the tone, abilities, connections and limits that make your shared scene work.
A starting point, not a required character sheet.
Existing lineages can inspire a character, but they are not a closed list. Original shapeshifters and the established Shattered lineage remain distinct concepts.
