A gateway to the City of Gold

The Nexus Keys

The Nexus Keys are purpose, vision and possibility.

All great Legends require a catalyst. The final change that alters the very fabric of a hero’s—or villain’s—story. The Nexus Keys create and crave possibility. Vessels of limitless power, the Keys open doors and harness raw potential from Relics and other sources of magic to create something new for the wielder. They are the first step, the most vital, in creating that catalyst. Hold them close, Legends. We are only beginning to understand their full power.

All great Legends begin with a key,
for better or for worse…

Artifacts of the Curator

The Keys

Four forces, shaped into four keys. Each carries its own temperament; all of them open a path toward the Nexus.

The Elemental Keys

The blue crystal Nexus Key of Ice suspended inside a stone alcove — **Nexus Key of Ice** Clarity held at the edge of stillness.

The glowing orange Nexus Key of Flame in the Curator's chamber — **Nexus Key of Flame** Ambition given heat, light, and form.

The luminous green Nexus Key of Nature in the Curator's chamber — **Nexus Key of Nature** Wild power, alive and always changing.

Aether

The Legendary Key

Chaos, bound by the will of the Curator using material and forces from universes not fully known. Forged for those few Legends who seek to become Mythic.

Visions from beyond the gate

Nexus Chronicles

Five glimpses into the wider world, interpreted by artists who gave the Nexus its many faces.

The Artifact, a glowing blue magical form suspended above flame — **The Artifact** Terry Vanatta
Raw arcane potential made manifest in a beautiful, chaotic form.

The Titan, an ancient armored figure rendered as a golden Chronicle — **The Titan** Terry Vanatta
An ancient enemy awakened with a single, terrible purpose: to consume.

Death, a skeletal figure surrounded by companions in a golden Chronicle — **Death** JeyRam
Death comes for all. Sometimes… Death brings friends.

Justice holding scales and a sword in a golden Chronicle — **Justice** Imaginary Sina
The truth, enforced with insight, karma, and an unyielding sword.

The Magician, a brightly colored cursed girl shedding magical tears — **The Magician** GxngYxng
A girl cursed by a witch; in sorrow, she cries tears full of magic.

Three different kinds of nerd

The Team

Art, sound, and development. Our love for fantasy worlds, RPGs, art, and technology brought us here, with a dream to build a world we would love to explore ourselves.

Bird

Web developer and film-industry sound designer and editor. He’s got technical chops, and helps rein in Rammy’s shenanigans.

Rammy

Super nerd, professional web developer, and guy who likes vests. His friends call him Rammy, the players at his table call him Thediem, and he is without mercy.

III

Terry

Professional concept artist, key-art designer, dungeon master, CoD rager, and destroyer of scrubs. Also incredibly handsome.

Beyond the gateway

The Journey

Every adventure begins with a key. Beyond it wait scrolls, relics, familiars, and the Legends who carry them.

01 Keys
Catalysts that open the way and bind raw elemental power.
02 Scrolls
Schools of magic, recorded so their knowledge can cross worlds.
03 Relics
Ancient objects whose histories matter as much as their power.
04 Familiars
Strange companions born in the halls of the Dreamer.
05 Legends
Heroes and villains shaped by every choice that came before.

World lore

Aeturn, City of Gold

The heart of the Dreamer. A city inhabited by millions, explored by thousands, and uplifted by a rare few. Aeturn sprawls for miles within the calcified heart of a dead god, built around the artifact that connects this silent universe to the infinite worlds beyond it: the Nexus.
