⚫ The Tower
Name: The Monolith of Regret
Origin: Unknown. Some say it was carved into reality's edge by forgotten gods. Others whisper it is a god—one that fed on endings.
Nature: Not built. Not discovered. It appears to those cursed by memory and chosen by fate. A trial. A tomb. A truth.
Structure:
Infinite floors, each reacting to the climber's past.
Living architecture—it breathes, weeps, remembers.
Not bound by time or space—a person can climb for days and emerge years younger… or older.

🕳️ The Trials
The Tower doesn't test strength.
It tests identity, regret, truth, fear, memory, and eventually… sanity.
> Each trial peels away who you think you are—until all that's left is who you were meant to be.

🌍 The Realms Outside the Tower
Though the Tower is the core setting, here are the fragments of reality shattered around it:
1. The Shardworlds
Broken dimensions—splinters of former realities lost in the Great Collapse.
Each one is a distorted echo of what once was.
Time loops. Gravity fails. Death often forgets to arrive.
Populated by remnants: Memory Shades, Lost Ones, and Dead Gods.
2. The Obsidian Vein
A void sea flowing beneath all worlds.
Believed to be the bloodstream of the Tower itself.
If you fall far enough… you end up here. And you never stop falling.
3. The City of Forgotten Saints
A massive ruin that once worshipped the Honoured One.
Now abandoned, cursed.
Inhabitants left behind their eyes… and built new ones.
Statues there whisper your sins as you pass.

👁️ The Main Character: "The Honoured One"
No name. Not anymore.
Once human. Maybe more.
Bound to an ancient force that once tried to overwrite reality.
His greatest sin: choosing remembrance over salvation.
People worshipped him. Then hunted him. Then forgot him.
His true name was locked away inside the Tower. Even he fears unlocking it.

🌀 The Symbols (on his arm)
Each trial leaves a mark:
Spiral: Fragment of self returned
Circle: Truth remembered
Crack Through Circle: Acceptance of flaw
(There will be seven total)
When the final one appears… something far worse than truth will awaken.
