The World of Hungry Dark

Hello everyone!

It's time for Spooktober again! And like last year, I'll be using the prompts to generate a short, smol little world concept. I won't be doing the prompts in order, but instead in whatever order that comes to me. I'll also do some explaining about my thought process and what kinda things this setting might be used for, as time and interest allows.

The World of Hungry Dark

Prompt 1: Darkness

Where darkness pools and gathers, where shadows grow deep and sharp, where no light touch the ground, darkness becomes something more than just absence. It is like a living thing - an sea of black, inky void, deep enough to drown the world.

The first two prompts I randomly drew when brainstorming ideas for this Spooktober was Drowning and Darkness... And what if we took that literally?
That ended up being the basic concept of the setting - a world where darkness is more than just absence of light, but a physical, living, alien thing to be feared. From there, we can come up with a lot of fun ideas - what does life look like where light is vital to life, the enemy is a omnipresent predator, always waiting and hungering.
Prompt 2: Shatter

What remains of the sun hangs in the firmament of the skies like a condemned man, drawn and quartered. Where once was a glorious blaze, there is now only a faint, flickering light, slowly dwindling. When that last ray of sun goes out forever, so do we.

Prompt 3: Vanish

When the sun died, the moon abandoned its place in the sky and fled, fearing the same fate. Ever since, it hides.

Prompt 4, 5, and 6: Howl, Whisper, and Disquiet

The scream of a god dying is lousy weather.

Prompt 7: Hunt

Kill the gods! Topple their thrones! Seize the divine with your own bloody hands

Prompt: 8: Curse

Gods do not go quietly. Death is always such a surprise to the immortal.

Prompt 9: Possess

Although each puppet dead is a clumsy, uncoordinated thing, they are dangerous when gathered into a horde, guided by the single intellect of the Hungry Dark.

Prompt 10: Abyss

A blackened, alien world, home to things that could live nowhere else or tolerate even the faintest light.

Prompt 11: Chasm

The Wound in the Sky, or the Chasm, is the hole torn in the night sky by the flight of the Moon.

Prompt 12: Drown

Bereft of light, the dark became an unstoppable force, flooding the city state and dragging its inhabitants into its depths, crawling into them and drowning them in darkness.

Prompt 13: Escape

"If there is no hope left for this world, let us seek another. Beyond the Wound In the Sky - no matter what awaits us there, it is better than staying."
