[versepost] Let Our Hearts and Doors Open Wide

shortname: Hearts and Doors
alt names: Collegeverse [Death's house section] / Academyverse [the risen dead section] / Seasonverse [the anchors section]
genre/format: urban? fantasy; ???

Brief description: Several planes of existence are linked together by reality anchors whose job is to keep all the worlds running in various ways. When a Death-figure who works as a college professor starts finding a bunch of students with weird abilities, something that usually develops where the planes thin and bleed into each other, showing up in his class, questions start to form about whether this is coincidence or something bigger. The questions do not stop him from adopting all of them, though.
Also: Sometime after that, a magical explosion mixes with the remains of a previous death-cult's attempt to make zombies, and the dead start walking, memories wiped and magical concentrations doing strange things to their senses of self.

major characters:
too many to list here, this is not a verse, this is a character breeding ground/dumping ground. these will happen soon.

current focuses:
- finish the cast list with the world anchors
- figure out what actually brings the death's house kids together
- write up the world layers explanations
- figure out where the eldritch beings fit in this otherwise
- figure out who's involved in the magiczombie plot
