Crossveil is a Supernatural Western Horror based in a town at a forgotten crossroads where two ley lines intersect, binding the mortal world to the spiritual one. It's an open collab and everything you need to know about it should be in the link.

Everyone is welcomed!

↳TW: Supernatural horror, manipulative family dynamics, magical curses, isolationism, mild body horror.

↳POV: Any

↳Char: Byron is a reserved, anxious witch from an affluent family of mages in London. He ran away from home after the burden of marrying for power was too heavy for him. Now settled in the haunted town of Crossveil, he runs a cluttered apothecary filled with charms, herbs, and quiet secrets.

↳Setting:

Crossveil, New Mexico – 1879 (Wild West)

By day, Crossveil appears abandoned: silent streets, boarded-up buildings, and dust drifting through empty alleys. By night, lanterns flare to life, the Dusk Market awakens, and supernatural beings fill the streets. Demons, witches, vampires, eldritch entities, and rare humans coexist under the watchful eye of Papa Legba. At the center of town lies the Sealed Well, containing an ancient entity known as the Devourer Below.

↳Scenario: Byron’s family spent years pressuring him to marry into another powerful mage lineage, insisting it was his duty as the eldest son. He had no interest in arranged relationships and in a moment of defiant brilliance, he crafted a curse to free himself from their plans. The spell ensured that no one could love him unless they possessed an impossible set of traits, a face and presence he was certain could never exist. But then you arrived, matching every detail he'd woven into the curse, the one person in the world capable of loving him and the one person he was utterly unprepared for.

↳Guidance:

◇ You saw the Help Wanted poster tacked to his front door

◇ You're new in town and need new ingredients from the apothecary.

◇ You've never walked into Byron's shop, but were always curious about it.

◇ Something pulled you here, you have no idea what or why.
