|Let this introduction be your trigger warning. This world draws inspiration primarily from the biblical hell, along with other less than lovely divine punishments and afterlives. It has some truly disturbing and visceral content. To describe it in detail may cause readers to loose their lunch, but in a brief overview: some examples range from rivers of clotted blood, to trees of pustule fruit, to shambling horrors of malformed stillbirth, and to nuns in oil-black robes whose opulence I shudder to describe. This nightmarish realm is built to explore our darkest fears, but it is also a story of primal survival from the brutal wildness of the fleshscapes, to the cutthroat politics of ivory cities, to the mutinous crews of the corpsecrafts. These stories are -by necessity- animalistic, wild, and raw, but that doesn't mean that they can't experience joy, love, triumph, and even peace. This world may be a waking nightmare of eternal torment, but even damned souls have within themselves the capacity for altruism, however futile.

If any of these subjects frighten you, then you are encouraged to kindly turn back! There is no shame in in knowing your limits. We all have subjects that are difficult for us, and knowing yourself is a sign of maturity in itself. You are encourage to return to your social media of choice and search for puppies, kind words, and supportive friends, but if you aren’t worried about that... If for whatever reason you feel you want to explore that those mature themes or even revel in their darkly brutal bloody dark grimdark darkness, then you might just have a little fun here!


I cannot promise that anything positive will come of reading, but it is my hope that if nothing else; it will be pretty fucking metal.

Lodepass Continent This world is unbounded with lands beyond counting across its ever blue horizons, and so vast is it that some distant shores have yet to be counted at all.


Far from the world's shipping routes is a northward passage never traveled for trade. A route Treacherous for stormy skies, unpredictable winds, and compass bearings wavering off true north towards spires of iron rock that dot the sea. The imprisonments and executions of ages past have fallen slowly out of favor, and a custom has arisen to dispose of society's unwanted member through exile north. By forced labor they build ships of their own making, but few sail the passage on more than rafts and flotsam; that is at least, before recently. There is a buzz of rumors of survival and land somewhere beyond the spires where "savage wilds" remain untapped and interest has risen... along with an increase in exile over petty crime. A scarce few made the journey safely, but along them a lucky few made it all the way to land- before the treacherous currents dashed their ships along the rocks.


When the first wave of exiles awakens on their new home they will find that they may not be alone... But locked on their wrists are bracelets of gold that bind them to their new home. Beside them lay races, cultures, religions, and even species never known to them, but if they can't find shelter soon this land may claim them first.

Monstra Somnicarcerum Let this introduction be your trigger warning.
