Dreams and Machines: Emerta Valo Setting Guide

DREAMS & MACHINES: SETTING GUIDE - EMERTA VALO - Ruins of Paradise, The City of Sighs

Spanning nearly thirty miles, the city of Emerta dominates the Emerta-Valo region of Evera Prime. Once a technological utopia built by the ancient Everans, every aspect of the city was crafted to perfection—its pristine spaces, beautiful boulevards, towering buildings, and idyllic homes all symbolized a life of unparalleled luxury.

However, when the Builder’s War erupted, Emerta—along with many other metropolises—was transformed into a brutal battlefield. The mechs that had once supported life turned on it with ruthless efficiency, laying waste to the city. Since then, Emerta has remained abandoned—silent but filled with treasures, mysteries, and dangers waiting to be uncovered. These ancient ruins stand as a challenge to any brave enough to explore them.

The Emerta-Valo Setting Guide, the latest expansion for Dreams and Machines, immerses players and game masters into a new, thrilling part of Evera Prime. It provides game masters with all the details they need to transport players to the decaying streets of the City of Sighs and the surrounding Emerta-Valo region. The guide also includes descriptions of key locations from Regis-Kastell, such as the Deepwoods Archives, Elion Hill, and Padrol Tower, which can be used in adventures.

Players will also find new character options to keep their experience of Emerta-Valo and the Dreams and Machines universe fresh and exciting. Take on a new role as a message-carrying Courier or a Teller, a master of history and teller of mysterious tales.
