01 YOUR FIRST FOOTFALL
The harbour still
holds a light.
Silverwatch Haven is rebuilding after the Black Fleet’s raid. Lanterns burn along the waterfront. And on the cliffs beyond the harbour, someone is signalling into the night.
Come ashore with a past of your own. Follow a rumour, uncover a hidden path, and decide whom to trust in a place shaped by faith, trade and old wounds.
The Drowned Veil brings character creation, investigation, companions and tactical encounters into a fantasy RPG in development.
PEOPLE MAKE A PLACE MATTER
Who will you trust
when the tide turns?
A witness has reasons to be wary.
A potential companion has a life beyond your own.
Asphodel’s developing relationship systems connect shared experiences with trust and respect.
The ambition is personal: someone to remember, something to protect, and a reason to return.

02 THE STARTING ISLES
The coast
remembers.
Welcome to Silverwatch Haven.
The Port of First Light.
Dawn climbs pale limestone terraces. Bells sound above the market. Below, ships gather along the waterfront, and the harbour chain waits for nightfall.
A city rebuilds. Behind its crowded quays and timber roofs, the first threads of your story are waiting.

The sea surrounds the Starting Isles.
Its stories reach far beyond the first port.
WHAT PART WILL YOU PLAY?
Bring a character.
Find your approach.
Choose your moment.
Read the ground before you commit. Movement, magic and retreat give a dangerous encounter more than one rhythm. A timely spell can buy space; a broken enemy may flee.
Follow the evidence.
Listen to witnesses. Pursue a rumour. Silverwatch’s opening investigation leads from conversation to the cliffs, into a hidden cave, and back with answers that raise new questions.
Gameplay systems are in development. Features and presentation may change.
03 A WORLD BEFORE THE GAME
A world years
in the making.
A new story begins at its shore.
For two and a half years, Larry Hunkin has built and tested Asphodel—from World Anvil to stories played around the tabletop.
The Drowned Veil is the next chapter: an independent fantasy RPG from Virtual Media Innovations, rooted in the people, places and stories that made the world worth returning to.
