1. Portrait

Hector the Cursed
Character | Jan 26, 2023

A Black Emperor who would betray his people by becoming a Vampire and trying to create a dark realm of his own design.

The story of one of the most infamous emperors and the portrait that reminds all of that truth. No one should forget the horrors they bring into the world so that such evil may never return.

2. Vanish

Fading
Condition | Nov 18, 2023

A condition that causes a person to slowly disappear entirely should they believe that they do not exist at all.

A terrible way to disappear if one gives up on existing in the first place. That is a person's power if they do not believe they deserve to exist.

3. Abandoned

He knew no one was coming to help him when he needed them the most and that his comrades had all but abandoned him and was left for dead. But he would ensure that he would survive to see his vengeance delivered tenfold on all who had wronged him this day, even to his last. All he had to do now was make it out alive so he could see it come to fruition and not be a corpse left to rot in this god-forsaken place.

4. Enchant

by MidJourney
The Desthas is a dagger wand famous for being enchanted by the great Enchanter, Ruben Yurts, and is considered one of the most powerful creations. Due to this, the wand had several owners at the time of its existence, often with the current owner murdering the previous owner to gain possession. Eventually, the wand is lost after its last owner, Ignacious the Mad, goes on a rampage with it and destroyed everything that crossed his path, believing they are out to get and take his wand from him. Only for him to trip over a rock and break his neck with the wand falling into a ravine and never found again.

5. Misfortune

For most of her life, she only knew the misfortune of receiving the short end of the stick on just about everything, no family, no home, only a life on the streets with only doing what needed to be done to survive. It wasn't the best life, but it was all she had, and she doubted she would find a way to change it. All she could do was deal with what life threw at her and hoped she could make her luck to ensure she could get her next meal.

6. Chasm

by MidJourney
With the deepest reaches of The Spine lies a chasm that leads to the east, but this place plays tricks on you the farther one goes, and mirages tend to show up that may lead you to your doom. This place has since been called the Chasm of illusion for those who have witnessed it firsthand. Only desperate or foolish people go through such a place as it allows them to cross The Spine much faster.

7. Thorn

by MidJourney
The Needle Bush is infamous for the thorns that are so sharp that they can be used on arrows to pierce the flesh easily.

No one ever suspects the cripple to be behind all their trouble, and he wanted to keep it that way.

11. Escape

He knew he had to escape from this place and the people that made him into a weapon. Everything he thought he knew was a lie told by others to justify their actions.

Even to see the very sight of them will cause immense fear, for eyes cannot unsee them once they gaze upon their horrific forms that their minds do not wish to comprehend.

16. Whisper

There were always whispers in the dark if one knew where to look for them properly. Most of them were nothing of interest, just gossip and rumors that tend to pop up here and there. But once in a while, a whisper can be helpful if we're in the proper hands. Anyone would pay handsomely for such a valued piece of information.
