Description
What if memory wasn't stored in your mind... but in the world itself?
Welcome to ERI: The Rootlands - an original African fantasy universe where living roots remember every choice, rivers carry forgotten memories, and the mountains echo futures that haven't happened yet.
This is the beginning of Chibugo's journey into a world where reality is slowly unraveling.
At first, everything seems ordinary...
Until the roots stop listening.
Story Arc: The Crack in the Roots
In Rootlands, every tree, river, and mountain is alive with memory.
When the ancient roots begin to fall silent, Chibugo and Nkem set out to discover why.
What starts as a simple journey quickly becomes something far greater than either of them imagined.
Some memories are forgotten.
Others are erased.
