Terms of Service
Welcome to Ancestral Spire, a worldbuilding site for the dark fantasy setting of Therasya. By accessing or using this site, you agree to the following terms.
Use of the Site
Ancestral Spire is provided for personal, non-commercial enjoyment — reading lore, exploring the Atlas, and using the setting as inspiration for your own tabletop games. You may not scrape, republish, or redistribute site content in bulk without permission.
Age Requirement
Ancestral Spire is intended for readers aged 16 and older. The setting contains fantasy violence, horror themes, disturbing creatures, and descriptions of war and death that may not be suitable for younger audiences. Younger audiences must request parental approval and control.
By using this website, you confirm that you are at least 16 years old or are accessing the site with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
Original Content & Intellectual Property
Therasya, its characters, realms, cosmology, artwork, and all associated names and lore are original creative works of Ancestral Spire and its creators. All rights are reserved unless otherwise stated. “Ancestral Spire” and “Therasya” may not be used commercially without written permission.
Third-Party Names & Trademarks
Names of other authors, games, and settings appear on this site solely to acknowledge the works that inspired it. No ownership of, or association with, those properties is claimed or implied, and all remain the property of their respective holders. The full statement accompanies the list itself, on our Acknowledgements page.
Fan Content
We welcome fans running games, writing homebrew, or creating non-commercial fan art set in Therasya. You’re free to do so for personal use and to share with your own gaming groups or communities, provided you credit Ancestral Spire as the source setting and do not sell or commercially license derivative works without our permission.
AI-Assisted Artwork
Some visual and audio assets on this site were created with the assistance of AI generation tools, then curated, edited, and composited by our creative team. See our Credits page for details.
No Warranty
This site is provided “as is.” We make no guarantees regarding uninterrupted availability, accuracy of lore consistency across pages during active development, or fitness for any particular purpose.
Limitation of Liability
Ancestral Spire and its creators are not liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this site, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
External Links
This site may link to external platforms (social media and similar). We are not responsible for the content or practices of third-party sites.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms as the site develops. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Privacy Policy
Ancestral Spire (“we,” “us,” “the site”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit ancestralspire.com, why we collect it, and how it’s handled.
Data Controller
You can communicate with our data controller at info@ancestralspire.com.
What We Collect
We use standard analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed, how long people stay, and general location and device information. This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible; we do not collect names, addresses, or payment information through normal browsing.
If you submit our contact form, we collect the information you provide directly (such as an email address) solely to respond to you.
Data Retention
Analytics data is retained according to the settings configured within Google Analytics. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and no more than 3 years unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Cookies
We use cookies for essential site functionality and, where consented to, for analytics purposes. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. See our cookie banner for more detail on managing your preferences.
Third-Party Services
Ancestral Spire may embed or link to third-party services (analytics providers, hosting infrastructure, social platforms). These services have their own privacy policies governing any data they collect independently of us.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share data with third parties except as necessary to operate the site (e.g., hosting providers) or as required by law.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we process.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, or to opt out of analytics tracking. To exercise these rights, contact our data controller at info@ancestralspire.com.
Children’s Privacy
Ancestral Spire is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
