Is your imagination the only thing keeping your world alive?
The Disputed is more than a collection of stories. It is a map back to presence.
who is Jack?
Jack is a magnetic outlaw with an uncertain past and a destiny he doesn’t yet comprehend. He is what the spirits call a Condücerē. Though he doesn’t know it yet.
The primary storyline of The Disputed follows Jack’s evolution through the 1840s, in a lawless region known as the Disputed Territory. Haunted by ghosts, tracked by officials, and tied to a gun named Dawn that only breathes in his hands. Jack is slowly learning that his greatest weapon isn’t force... it’s presence.
He’s not alone. Alongside him rides the Disputed Gang, a mismatched crew of gamblers, specialists, courtesans, and sharpshooters. Each carries their own inner demons. Each has their part to play.
what is Mortimar?
Mortimar is not man or woman. Not dead. Not alive.
Mortimar is the current, the breath between the mortal world and the spirit world. The field through which all Condücerēs and spirits move. To those who are lost, Mortimar appears as a whisper, a shape, a presence. To some, Mortimar is salvation. To others, damnation. But in truth, Mortimar is simply the mirror.
A shapeshifter, a guide, and a judge of karma, Mortimar’s role is to reflect what each soul is ready to see... and to offer a choice. Transform or be forgotten.
Mortimar’s stories unfold through a coming anthology series. Dark, mythic tales told across timelines and cultures. The first begins in 1836 New Orleans, during the yellow fever outbreak. Debt. Reflection. Vampires.
Spiritus: the Scrolls of the Distilled.
In The Disputed, every distilled spirit holds more than flavor... it holds transformation. These spirits are alive. Not in body, but in energy.
Each one (Whiskey, Rum, Gin, Tequila, Vodka, Brandy, Mead) acts as both mirror and medicine to the soul. They correspond to human vices, internal struggles, and when approached with Love, their transmutation.
These teachings are held in the Spiritus Scrolls, sacred texts of power and remembrance. They are being revealed over time, and soon they’ll form the foundation of the Disputed Deck. A storytelling and strategy game built on these spiritual suits.

Explore the Disputed Territory
In a world stitched between time, there exists a rare type of soul: Condücerēs.
Those who can step beyond the veil and breathe the language of spirit itself. They are not born powerful. They awaken over time. Through pain, memory, and the transformation of their own inner demons.
Aiding them are ancient tools. Distilled spirits, each carrying both shadow and light. And Mortimar, the shapeshifting mirror between worlds, neither male nor female, dead nor alive. Mortimar is not a character in this world... Mortimar is the energy.
From this foundation, three threads emerge: Who is Jack, What is Mortimar, and the Spiritus that connects everything supernatural.
