The year is 397 BE—Before the End. And in the wide and colorful abyss known as the Dragon Path, fate spins two disparate threads together… This week on Perpetua: Castle Eschatonica 01 IRC Log started Dec 21 20:37 Channel: #perpetuaSpoilers 20:37 <Zelgadysk>: It’s not a big deal Nei, just wish I had thought to message you about it on the forums! 20:37 <FriendXofXNei>: It IS a big deal. I feel like I really F***d everything up with everyone relying on me and the faq. Plus, the same thing happened to me when I tried to do the Imago walkthrough at launch without knowing...

Fundraising for Immigrant Justice
Friends at the Table
On Sunday 15th and Monday 16th of February 2026, we’re going to be hosting ICEBREAKER, a two day fundraising marathon on to raise money for the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! As Minnesota faces the brunt of a violent anti-immigrant crackdown, and ICE’s cruelty continues to spread nationwide, we are inspired by the solidarity, community, and mutual aid demonstrated by those on the front lines of immigration justice. The WFM’s Immigrant Rapid Response Fund distributes funding to organizations working to provide food, housing, rent relief,...

Friends at the Table
Above Spillaway Peaks, the crew of the Little Snail has found signs of a horrible corruption, tainting not only the town’s oxen and their food, but perhaps of something even more fundamental. With only one clue to go one—the presumed whereabouts of a mysterious food seller—they travel further up the mountains in search of answers. What they find will draw them deeper into adventure than they ever could’ve imagined.

This episode includes discussion of animal injury and illness, including descriptions of wounds and death. A mystery (and the need for a little spending money) has sent the crew of the Little Snail up into the hills of Spillaway Peaks. In between attending to their escortee, the locally famous photographer Waylon, Veile, Nicky, Jonathan, and Elena encounter the edges of a strange curse. What has happened to the Oxen of the Peaks?

Though the office of the Shining Star stands on the second of Spillaway Peaks’ three tiers, on a clear night, its rooftop beacon can be seen from miles away. This, Thelonious, the newspaper’s editor-in-chief says, is a recruitment strategy. Those who see the light and travel through the wilderness towards it tend to be inquisitive and adventurous enough to make good freelance reporters. And though they followed the Shining Star’s reputation before its shining light, couldn’t the same be said of the crew of the Little Snail?

The crew of the Little Snail has come to Spillaway Peaks in search of an ally: Thelonious, the editor-in-chief of the Shining Star newspaper and a member of the mysterious group called the Luminaries. But before they can go, meet Theo, and earn his trust, they first have to do a little shopping… This week on Perpetua: A Picture of the HIlls 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.058] Town Maps [TNMP] Spillaway Peaks [SPMP] The Shell Barrow You know that big dome you can see at Spillaway Peaks from the world map?

On the western continent of Perpetua, four fated adventurers set out on a prophesied journey. While to the east, in the Elevana League, a trio of travelers began to investigate a metaphysical sickness. What, if anything, connected these two groups? Who was powerful enough, invested enough, to watch each from above or below—besides you and I? Perhaps, if not for the impending stress of a familial reunion and the ever present struggle between one’s responsibilities to their culture and to themselves, the brilliant, Terrapine inventor Jonathan would find the perspective necessary not...

A sudden confrontation! Having ‘sniffed out’ a lead, Antistrophe, Brontë, and Caoimhe have dug their way towards the truth. That truth rests in the underground archive of the Hexcloaks’ regional headquarters in Cenn, City of Iron Chains. But such a basement does not go unguarded. To arms, Team ABC!

Castine, Living Metal, has retreated to his chambers to channel his power. An ancient dragon continues to slam at the city’s protective dome. Kley Kaina has been dragged away by Commander Thereus Aegir. Something suspicious lurks inside the Hexcloak Headquarters of Cenn, City of Iron Chains. And Antistrophe Landrace, Brontë Adelvys and Caoimhe Wake have pledged to get to the bottom of it… literally.

Perpetua 25: In Too Deep 01
Friends at the Table
A confrontation with the Hexcloak Commander, whose ominous air suggests dire motives. A conversation with the living god of metal, whose curious mind pries into their own. A conflict with an ancient draconic mole, whose thunderous anger threatens the city of chains. Antistrophe Landrace, Bronte Adelvys, and Caoimhe Wake have faced all of this and more during their stay in Cenn. And yet, for now, they’ve remained to help the city—now blocked off from the rest of the world by a massive sphere of pure iron—as it rebuilds from the dragon’s earth-shaking attack. A city as great as...
info_outlineBefore he departed from Calstega Bay, the man named Onyx, Commodore of the Valte Empire and member of the mysterious group known as the Luminaries, gave the crew of the Little Snail some words of advice: Take a boat east, to Spillaway Peaks, and find an ally there under the Shining Star. Thus do Veile, Elena, Nicky, and Jonathan head towards the shoreline, towards new adventures—and for one of them, old haunts.
You may not know Spillaway Peaks. Indeed, places like that are too easily overlooked. Many would tell you a history of Tidaline, Perpetua’s Western Continent, focused only on its greatest kingdom, its most powerful church, and the invading armada that scourges its shores. And while Grand Sonnerie, the Holy Protectorate, and the Valte Empire have tried as hard as they can to control the chronicling of time, take it from this old historian: The smallest gust can usher in a hurricane. So learn these names:
Belowave. Geseis. Nezt. Invernal. Salann. Burgton. Stitchscore. Spillaway Peaks.
Cities hidden under the waves or behind the hills. Places which turned away warships with simple ribbons, or confounded pillagers with puzzles. One village of games, one village of spies, one village where soldiers refused to be soldiers anymore.
Call them parochial or call them provincial if you must, but understand this. Perpetua is not the territory of territory alone. It is not a battlefield made by battalions. It is a world where heroes move history, and where heroes have homes. Some such heroes, if they are lucky, may even get to return to them one day.

Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05]
NPCs & Monsters [PNMS]
Hydrazoa [NMHDZ]
Typical Traits: floating, glowing, silent, transparent
Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6
Attacks: Acid Touch, Stinging Tentacles
Special Abilities: Flying
In-Game Description: Every slithering tentacle of these bizarre, floating jellyfish monsters is filled with a powerful neurotoxin.
As far as I can tell, the only way to encounter these guys is by generating an ambush on the shoreline or in the sea. And something is really FISHY about these jellyfish, too. They have original art, but it’s almost like they’re ripped directly from a different game in terms of their moves and stats and even their description! Maybe they’re a holdover from the original Fabula Ultima game engine?
Starter Tip: Even though they do bolt damage with those tentacles, they’re also weak to bolt! They might sting you, but sting ‘em right back.
Living Seaweed [NMLSW]
Typical Traits: aggressive, cursed, quick, tangly
Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 6
Attacks: Corrupting Grasp, Dark Sting
Special Abilities: Plant
In-Game Description: A tangle of ravenous kelp.
I don’t really get this thing. It’s like some seaweed that wants to choke you? Why. It doesn’t have teeth. It doesn’t have a mouth. It doesn’t have a stomach. Seaweeds don’t need to kill to survive. So why is this one trying to munch on the party!Starter Tip: Don’t even bother to give them dazed, enraged, or shaken. They’re immune!
