World & Skills Summary (For Reference)
The World: Echoes of the Ninth Soul
· Nine respawns per person. Die = burn one anchor, respawn at bound location. Lose all nine = permanent death (soul dissolves).
· Respawn sickness (24 hours of weakness) - normal for everyone except Sato (his is milder, then gone after 6th death).
· The Deathless War ended 80 years ago. Current era is fragile peace. That's why Kaden (7 lives left) and Asher (8 lives left) still have many respawns.
· Ancestral abilities - each bloodline has a unique, often weak ability. Kaden & Asher's family (Felheim) can turn into average cats (black and white). Others have things like "Heat Haze" (blur), "Whisperwind" (far hearing), etc.
· Adventurer's Guild - ranks Copper to Orichalcum. Quests, rewards, toll-free travel. Our trio joined as solo adventurers (Copper rank) but work together informally.
