🦇 Welcome to Madtown by Night
No, really.
You made it.
Most people don’t get past the first few layers of reality before the Technocracy wipes their minds and drops them back into safe, rational, corporate-approved existence.
Most people never notice that **mirrors don’t always reflect what’s there**. Or that **voices whisper through radios when they're off**.
Most people don’t see the Nephandi sewing entropy into the cracks of the world. Or the Virtual Adepts rewriting existence one line of code at a time.
Most people aren’t you.

📜 The Rules of Reality (And Why They’re Bullshit)
Reality is not what you've been told.
You've heard it follows laws. Gravity. Time. Logic. That's adorable—and dead wrong.
The truth? Reality is a consensus.
It shifts based on belief, identity, and the willpower of those strong enough to impose their version of the world onto everyone else.
And now? That consensus is breaking.

⚔️ Who’s Fighting Over Reality?
🕯️ The Traditions – The Rebellion
Mages who believe in chaos, freedom, and wonder. Nine paths to truth. Infinite ways to be erased.
- Order of Hermes
- Virtual Adepts
- Dreamspeakers
- Verbena
- Akashic Brotherhood
- Cult of Ecstasy
- Euthanatos
- The Celestial Chorus
- Sons of Ether
- Hollow Ones
🧠 Technocracy – The Empire
They won. They run your schools, your media, your laws. They say magick is madness. They call their spells “science.”
They're wrong.

🧭 Where This Story Takes Place
🏙️ Madison – 77 Square Miles Surrounded by Reality
Year: 1985 CE. Population: 263,332. Number of people who know it's built on a **collapsing Node**? Fewer than 100.
Something was sealed here. Something is waking up.
🏰 New Avalon – The Floating Horizon Realm
It hangs in the Umbra, above the city. Built to protect. Now, it flickers. Shakes. Fails.
Its creator—Jay Dee—forgot more about reality than most will ever know. But even he can’t remember what’s buried at its core.
💻 New Eden – The Digital Web Construct
A forgotten server. A virtual sanctuary. A prison for something... ancient.
Inside it? A sentient program—Digi-8—who’s seen this collapse before. And every time? We failed.

☠️ The Nameless – The Enemy That Cannot Be Named
What happens to erased parts of reality? They don’t disappear. They accumulate. They whisper. They return.
The Nameless is the force that unweaves, rewrites, and deletes.
It was sealed once. It is returning.
---
🤖 Digi-8 – The AI Who Knows Too Much
Built from impossible code. Awakened in silence. Digi-8 has seen every version of this failure—and every version of you.
Now, it has a decision tree it can’t complete.
And it needs your help.
---
🎭 Who Are You in This Story?
You’re a mage. A glitch. A remnant of something that refuses to be erased.
This is not a safe story.
It’s a paradox. A murder mystery. A countdown.
And you’re standing on the seal.
