Creeping Time

Edits & Such Will Occur After Summer Camp Ceremony On August 26th

Philosophers question the meaning of the universe. Why are we here?
Beyond "why are we here?" - "how are we here?" is a question left behind. Do we simply live and die? Is there a before? Is there an after? Does life continue?
On the planet, seeing life as it exists, Time pays no mind to the youth. For they, too, will be lost to this life.
How much meaning can a name hold for Time? For a handful of centuries, a town flourishes as the Worldgate, the town of natural and created portals. In time, it becomes Grimgate, a town of rubble, disarray, and chaos. When does it fall to rubble or grow anew? Only Time and their chosen know.
This cycle of life and death, and its healing forces of regrowth and reanimation bring peace to some and terror to others. Where is the line between the ordained and the profane? Where does the natural end and unnatural begin? Who can claim to know the difference?

Defining Truths

In the current age of Tarantellia, there are several camps defining these "truths."

Malmi's Followers

The most prolific - and certainly the loudest - movement are the followers of Malmi, the Spider Goddess. To them, the universe is a fated weaving. Life is brief, beautiful, and sacred. You live to complete the weaving. You die because it is time.
If you must, heal yourself to complete the tasks you are call to complete. But, to live beyond your time sets fire to the tapestry of life.

Basi's Followers

To the followers of Basi - the Necromantic Deity of the Lost, Bound, and Forgotten - all healing magicks are holy and just. The rites of healing and reanimation are tethered to one another. A soul will break this bond when their will claims it is time.
In this tie between resuscitation and reanimation, Undead are blessed with healing capabilities. Further proof of their bond with Basi.
