The Codex

The player's guide to Dead Gods Rising: The Descent. Mechanics are documented fully here — the systems you're meant to master. World secrets, hidden ways, and the things in the thin places are not: those you find by playing.

Start here

The World & the First City

The Convergence, quantum bleeds, the node-net, and the four ways to make your way.

The Ten Classes

Every class — lore, role, strengths, weaknesses, and signature abilities.

How It Works

Flat HP and protection, the mitigation stack, weather, light, atmosphere, and the node-net's price.

More to come

The codex grows alongside the game. Planned sections: races & characterizations, magic and prayer, the economy and the key markets, factions and law, and a getting-started guide for your first hours in the city.

A note on secrecy. This world runs on discovery. We document what a player is meant to know and deliberately leave the rest unwritten — the hidden exits, the patterns, the voices in the bleed. If you want those, you'll have to go down and find them.
