Crossroads of the Athenaeum is a dynamic Discord roleplay server that hosts multiple immersive roleplay settings (called codices ), each with its own unique lore, characters, and rules. Below is a detailed breakdown of the server’s structure and offerings:

What is the Athenaeum?
An athenaeum traditionally refers to a hub of learning or culture. Here, it represents a shared universe where diverse stories and worlds converge. Members can explore interconnected or standalone narratives across different codices, blending creativity and collaboration.

Codex System
Each Codex acts as a self-contained roleplay setting with its own:
- Face Claim List: Real people (ages 19+) to represent characters.
- Lore & Rules : Unique supernatural or slice-of-life themes.
- Setting : Distinct locations and atmospheres.

The server currently features four main codices and three secondary codices , with future additions voted on by members.

Main Codices
Bayou Bloodlines Big City Supernatural (New Orleans, LA)
Beneath the Northern Lights Small town Supernatural (Frostfall, AK)
Deep in the Heart of Austin Big City Slice-of-life (No Supernatural Elements)
Between the Pines Small Town Slice-of-life (No Supernatural Elements)

Secondary Codices
Gilded Currents Celebrity Roleplay (Veridia Isle, CA) (No Supernatural Elements)
Stone Creek Divide Appalachia Horror (Tri-Cross Hollow TN, KY, VA)

Flexibility
- Play in one Codex or all —your choice!
- Jump between genres: supernatural drama, urban crime, or small-town charm.

Face Claim Rule
All characters must use real people aged 19+ as visual references (actors, models, etc.).

Whether you crave supernatural intrigue, city chaos, or quiet storytelling, Crossroads of the Athenaeum offers a space to craft your story!
