Blue King
Far back in the Neverwhen, before time can be remembered, you were King. The only King. The very energies of Creation coursed through your veins. Alas, time wounds all heals. Slowly, you ground to a halt, sinking into the earth.
Dead. Slumbering.
And yet, you carry on. Creation leeches from your bones into the world. As you decay and slip into nothingness, you form the basis of all existence in this world.
And so, you sleep and slip away, remembering.
Guardians
The King is guarded by the Blugard, ancient guardians tasked with defending the body that brings life to the world. It is known that the fate of all living beings is tied to the fate of one powerful corpse. Chosen for the loyalty and sense of duty, the guardians are sustained by faith and their proximity to the King’s eternal energies. The guardians never leave the presence of the King. If their faith wavers, they are replaced by creatures more suited to the task.
Time & Rest
The King is in perpetual service. Entropy stops for no one. And yet, there will be downtime. Across the ages, not every moment is worth remembering. This is the Rest. During Rest, you will select how long the King is at Rest and wait the appropriate amount of time. This may be seconds or several minutes, representing the passage of time before a new Guardian is selected.
Blugard is a solo journaling roleplaying game based on the Lost & Found SRD. In it, you play a dead King, dreaming and giving life to the world through the ages. It was made for a “picture and a thousand words jam” on the Alone Together discord server.
