Whispering Hollows is an 18+ roleplay community based in supernatural fiction and the modern times. Available is thematic writing and thought-provoking narratives, taking real-world concepts and implementing them in ways that makes our fictional-world feel immersive and more engaging, perhaps even a little ‘lived in’ already. Welcomed are any writers, whether they are preferring story with many layers of meaning or more casual.

The supernatural are something that not many people can percept, except those special few that have a connection to the spiritual realm. Your character may be one of them, likely having noticed a spirit before they received a letter. And, while in Whispering Hollows, they will study, help and/or battle spirits on assignments that have been carefully made for the characters involved, providing a unique and fun experience while the overall plot is progressed.

Slice of Life lingers between the more intense moments. Comedy, Drama, and sometimes Horror in an otherwise dark academic setting. Come join us and enjoy.

Welcome to the Lyceum of Keys—an elite, barely sanctioned postgraduate academy for magicians who are too clever, too reckless, or too powerful to be left unsupervised.

Hidden in the snowy town of Coldwater, NY, the Lyceum trains the next generation of magical thinkers, door-openers, ritual-makers, and occasional reality-breakers. But this isn’t your standard magic school. The world is coming apart. And the faculty definitely aren’t telling you everything.

A year ago, the Doors—the ancient gateways to other realms—Closed. All of them. At once. Twenty-three people vanished. Now, only three remain open.

The school says they're under control. The school is lying.

✶ What We Offer ✶
🗝️ A multiverse-meets-academia setting inspired by The Magicians, Ninth House, The Locked Tomb, Ten Thousand Doors of January, and A Darker Shade of Magic
📚 A deeply lore-rich, high-stakes world built around a custom, scholarly magic system and unraveling metaphysics
✒️ Literate-to-advanced writing expectations | Collaborative, character-driven storytelling | 21+ writers only
📂 Player-driven plots, character arcs, custom quests, and a macro-plot about unraveling realities and dead gods
🌌 Three active Doorworlds (for now) | Cosmic horror, magical disasters, dark academia drama, & eldritch secrets
💬 Out-of-character vibes: chaos in the group chat, a little feral, always supportive, chronically online

✶ At the Lyceum… ✶
Magic doesn’t sparkle. It scars.
But for those willing to brave it—
there are still doors left to open.

╰┈➤ Welcome to **Casimir’s Institute**, home of the eldest and most powerful conjurer the world has known. Ignore his absence—surely, he’s just busy. It is the late 1800s, after all.

Hidden in the lush green fields of Iceland, the Institute rests within a mountain-formed castle, centuries old. Through twisting wormholes, inexperienced mages are chosen from across the globe—each a spark meant to shield humanity from forces it was never meant to know.

But now, something is wrong.
A network of nearly fifty institutions has gone dark, now reduced to fifteen. No letters. No ravens. The **Dark Forest** effect has begun.

The curriculum tightens, fear replaces wonder—until one morning, with a blast and blinding light, Casimir and his protective seal vanish. And as the earth seems to hold its breath...
Your teacher reeks of rot.
The shadows whisper at your window.
The world wants you dead.
