Rijkhoff & Eternity - a Bloodpunk Novel

Rijkhoff & Eternity – A Bloodpunk Novel is the first full-length prose fiction set in the blood-fueled, gothic-punk world of Tolia, created by Dream Realm Storytellers as part of the Bloodpunk setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5E. This novel expands the lore of Bloodpunk by offering a character-driven, narrative exploration of its core themes: power, corruption, rebellion, and the price of blood.

The story follows Rijkhoff, a grizzled former investigator turned reluctant revolutionary, as he is drawn back into the political and arcane shadows of Kanrath, a city ruled by vampires and fueled by blood-powered technology. When whispers of an entity known only as “Eternity” begin circulating through back alleys and aristocratic courts alike, Rijkhoff is forced to confront his past and uncover a plot that threatens to rewrite the nature of power in Tolia.

As the mystery unfolds, the novel dives deep into the moral complexity of the Bloodpunk world. Technology powered by harvested blood, societal hierarchies enforced through arcane control, and resistance movements clinging to hope make for a dark yet poignant setting. Readers experience familiar elements from the RPG setting—blood circuits, crimson-tinted skyways, corrupted magic, and ideological warfare—but through the lens of a noir-style thriller.

Rijkhoff & Eternity offers fans of Bloodpunk a new way to explore the setting’s lore, while also standing on its own as a compelling story of redemption, loss, and revolution in a world where blood is more than life—it’s power.
