Reader Experience
It is a place of great danger, mystical and terrifying. Adventurers in the world are faced with the challenge of survival and if they are skilled enough or lucky enough, may even make a tangible difference in the world.
Reader Tone
The tone is dark and lightly grimdark. Horrible and wondrous things can and do happen to ordinary people. The general focus of the common folk is survival and subsistence, except in some areas where civilization has started building up or groups have banded together.
Character Agency
Player agency is a hugely important element. This is a living world and one of consequences. Players are very much a part of the collaborative story telling element of this world. Players are free to do essentially anything that their character can reasonably represent in the LARP medium and will need to deal with the consequences whether they be positive, negative, or neutral.
The world is essentially a sandbox- The writers design the stories to happen in the absence of player intervention and then the world reacts and those stories evolve and change in response.
