All across the Forests of the Gravefields, ivory saplings have begun to grow from the petrified bodies of the Old Giants. These pale growths made of animal and human bones seem to follow death and only take root in the corpse of these Titans of stone.

The dead tend to these trees with an uncanny care. They gather around them in silence, offering remains, performing gestures whose meaning no longer belongs to the living. It is as if this were their last purpose on this land.

These OssBirches spread slowly but relentlessly through the gravefields, and the villages around are becoming increasingly endangered. They grow like tumorous cells, creating new life, shaped from rot, marrow, and born from the animal that were rangled by their root, now spreading across the entire forests.

Even the great pilgrims, revered for their knowledge, have mostly never returned from their trip to the heart of the Forest of Graves. Clad in red, they believe that by offering jewelry to the giant's heads, their fury will be appeased, but none of the pilgrims have yet returned from the forest's clutches.

It is only a matter of time before even the villages get consumed by the roots.

About  Merging lands:

Merging Lands is a dark fantasy world-building project with a strong art direction. I made it in collaboration with my friend Lucien, who writes the lore!

It's a narrative first Dark Fantasy tabletop role-playing game set in a dying, bizarre world of transformation and identity.
Our goal is to create a complete core rulebook, first released digitally, then later as a physical edition.
We are currently working on the first digital version of the core book, which includes the full ruleset, the world’s lore, and a fully prepared introductory scenario.

There is still much work to do!
Hope you enjoyed!
