About Our Brilliant Ruin

The Ruin befouls everything in its path, ravaging culture and geography alike, and leaving its living victims contorted into horrific creatures. In its wake, Dramark society moves toward an irreversible demise, buoyed on a tide of excess and intrigue.Our Brilliant Ruin is the first story-world developed by Studio Hermitage. Created for multiple formats, Our Brilliant Ruin features the Dramark, an elitist society unraveling against the backdrop of a preternatural catastrophe called the Ruin. People of the Dramark fall within three broad factions: a self-serving aristocracy, the competent truefolk, and the self-reliant unbonded, each with different societal relationships. Within each of these diverse social factions also exist families, guilds, and individuals that cooperate and conflict with one another. From the wealthy Galdeparks and industrious Daras to the academics of Crown Hall College and hospitality experts in the League of Glove and Key, each group offers numerous opportunities for rivalry, alliances, and romance.From the outset, Studio Hermitage designed Our Brilliant Ruin as a transmedia IP. Already a successfully crowdfunded tabletop RPG, Studio Hermitage will bring the world of the Dramark to other formats, such as graphic novels and video games, in the future.To stay up to date with Our Brilliant Ruin, follow the project on X (Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram, or sign up for the newsletter at www.ourbrilliantruin.com.
