Welcome to Patriam

A world where fate is real, death is permanent, and the rules are as unyielding as steel. There are no difficulty settings, no hand-holding, and no second chances.

Every choice carves your fate, every action reshapes the world, and even the strongest can fall to a single mistake.

This is not a game where you are the chosen hero. You are just another soul in a vast, brutal world, struggling to carve out your place before time and fate consume you. The question isn’t if you will die—it’s how you will be remembered.

THE CORE EXPERIENCE

💀 A Ruthless Rogue RPG – No save-scumming, no easy way out. Every death is final. Every decision matters.

⚔️ Triumph & Botch System – A lowly peasant can kill a legendary knight with a well-placed strike, and even the most powerful warrior can be undone by a single mistake. Every roll carries the weight of fate itself.

🧠 The Lucidity Mechanic – Your mind is just as fragile as your body. The more you push the limits of power—whether through magic, violence, or sheer will—the closer you slip toward insanity.

🗺️ A Living, Indifferent World – The world doesn’t wait for you. It moves on with or without your input. You will not change the fate of nations, but your actions will shape the lives of those around you—for better or worse.

⚔️ Brutally Realistic Combat – No health bars soaking up damage. Every wound is lethal, every fight can be your last. Fatigue, encumbrance, injuries, and tactics all matter.

🎭 A Game of Fate, Politics, and Deception – Whether you rise through combat, diplomacy, or manipulation, your success is never guaranteed. Faction politics, power struggles, and hidden agendas shape the world around you.

🛠️ Deep Character Creation – Shape your legacy from the very beginning with a multi-layered system of races, heritages, background, prominence, prosperity, karma, vice, virtue, class progression, skills, professions, and fabrication. Every choice matters.

📖 A Deeply Interwoven Lore & Cosmic Order – Patriam isn’t just a setting—it’s a world built on immutable laws. Magic, history, power structures, and even the economy follow strict principles. The unseen Equilibrium does not judge—it simply corrects.

💰 A Complex Item, Economy & Trading System – Every item has weight, durability, and value. Trade is dynamic, currency fluctuates, and your wealth determines how society treats you.

🗣️ Language Barriers & Miscommunication – If you don’t speak the local tongue, you won’t understand NPCs—and even if you do, misunderstandings can happen.

⚖️ Balance & Consequences – If you tilt the scales too much—if you defy the natural order too far—the world will push back. Something will rise to meet you.

WHO IS THIS GAME FOR?

🔥 For those who crave challenge. If you want a game that pushes back, that demands your best, that doesn’t hold your hand—this is for you.

🧠 For tactical minds. Every fight, every social encounter, every movement must be planned and calculated—because Patriam will punish mistakes.

📜 For lovers of deep lore and intricate worldbuilding. Everything in Patriam is crafted with purpose. Every faction, every conflict, every hidden truth serves a greater design.

🔮 For those who enjoy moral ambiguity. There are no clear-cut good or evil paths—only power, survival, and the stories you leave behind.

🎭 For those who believe character choices should matter—not just in combat, but in every aspect of the world.
