MERIDIAN MALICE
Bloodworth, the gleaming jewel of elven cities, stands before you on the shore of the red glowing sea.
Your opportunity or your downfall.
Who will you be in the elven city?
Subject, scoundrel, or socialite?
Will you rise to top or drown in the blood-filled streets?
The city is not to be trusted. Beyond elves, adventure, and bathhouses, there lurks sinister powers in waiting.
Beware Bloodworth.
Oh, a Human? Most Curious
Let me have a closer look at you. I see fate has brought you far from home, all the way to the Elven lands. But why? A lust for adventure? Opportunity? Desperation? You have already travel though the darkness, but don’t be fooled, you have not come to safety in Bloodworth. Don’t trust what you see.
The Elves, you ask, who are they?
Crimson, Amber, Lerna, Fiend, Nyx, Valari… They elves are many and each stranger than the last.
Halt!
Did you wash

FAQ
What is Meridian Malice?
A few years ago, I got into the worldbuilding hobby and combined a desire to improve as an illustrator, I set out to create my own fantasy world. And here we are now, with quite the collection of drawings, diagrams, and lore pages. You might have seen some of them on Reddit already?
I’m taking a kind of “found footage” approach to my worldbuilding adventure. Imagine discovering and piecing together a fantasy world through various in-world artifacts, newspapers, research notes, maps, and ancient scrolls.
What is the Crimson Seer game?
Crimson Seer is a fantasy detective computer game. Yes, a game set in the Meridian Malice world, where you investigate murder scenes frozen in time, gather clues, and deduce motive, method, and location. Use your prophetic visions to uncover sinister elven plots, ancient mysteries, and dark rituals in an underground world.
What is the world of Malice?
Malice is a completely underground world, a continent-sized cave system where the darkness is ever-present. The focus is mainly on the city of Bloodworth, an elven port on the Crimson Sea that lights up this part of the cave. But the darkness of the inland and the pirate-infestedglowing red waters are far from the only dangers. The city is not to be trusted; it lures the unexpecting with promises of riches, glory, and more…
In an elf-eat-elf world, will you be the subject, scoundrel, or socialite—will you rise to top or drown in the blood-filled streets?
Can I use this world in my own TTRPG sessions?
Absolutely! If you are a GM scouting for a fresh location for your next campaign, or perhaps you wish to integrating some of these elements into your own homebrew. By all means, go ahead! I’m all about sharing, inspiring, and igniting creativity within the TTRPG and worldbuilding community. Though make sure to join the Meridian Malice Discord and tell us about your adventures!
