It’s anything but a safe place, but unlikely help can be found there, if one knows where to look. It’s run by a nasty “Fourman” known as the Highroller who seems to have an in with the crown, meaning the law looks the other way when he wheels and deals however he pleases, including illegally. Unfortunately, it was destroyed, and, upon the bones and ruins of Four-Town, Fourburg was built for a new era of decadence.įourburg is a realm of lawlessness where gambling is the only way to get what you want and few play fairly. Long ago during the No Dice War, the fourth realm was known as Four-Town and was a much different place-a place of nobility and heroism. FourburgĪre you looking for somewhere posh to live? Somewhere you can thrive on honest living and hard work, where the people are happy and their days are bright? Her royal grace approved of the civil war as a way to resolve the matter, going so far as to provide each of the three siblings with giant colossi-machines of war to help them fight each other! But there are other dangers lurking in the shadows of Threedom…so do be careful. The three children, who otherwise live lives of luxury, wage war against each other, all with the blessing of the Queen. The King’s triplets each blamed the others for the fatal act, resulting in a devastating three-way civil war that goes on to this day. Many years ago, the King of Threedom was murdered and the region has been in disarray since. Threedom is a mess for entirely different reasons than Onecroft. Or rather, the Mayors, as his dormant personality has manifested almost entirely into a person of its own that grows out of his tophat, ruling upside-down in his own twisted mirror-flipped version of Two-Town! Threedom Depending on the roll of her dice, the residents will change drastically their personalities will shift and they may act altogether differently. It is a town of dualities and split-personalities.Įach day the Queen, in all her glory, rolls her magical dice to decide how Two-Town will change. Two-Town is a magical place, but one that’s equally twisted. This is where things begin to get a bit stranger. After all, it’s better to be together in Onecroft than separated across the realms. ![]() Many of those who live in Onecroft have come to accept it for what it is. Home is still home, and for Even and Odd, Onecroft is just that. What the junk is used for, however, is quite unknown to them. The Oners mostly make their living hauling junk onto freighters so that anything of value can be used by the Queen. The junk of the other five realms is discarded into Onecroft, leaving the Oners (as they’re known) with far more trash than treasure. Onecroft is the most decrepit of the six realms. Our story, though, begins with two sisters, Even and Odd, who’ve grown up in the lowliest of the six realms. Each of its six sides corresponds to one of the realms, and upon rolling it, the child’s future is decided and they are sent to their new home.Įach realm is grander than the last, or at least was once upon a time, with the Queen’s realm being the greatest of them all. Under the sovereign rule of the Queen, six realms, each unlike the last, are where the people of Random live their lives, but there’s a catch! When a child turns the age of twelve, the Queen visits them and lets them roll her mythical black dice, determining their fate. ![]() And to further prepare you, developer Zoink Games has provided a preview of “The Six Realms of Random” that players will explore.
