A species considered monstrous by some

I really liked the short poem at the start of this article, it instantly drew me in and I wanted to know more about it. I wish to populate my articles with more powerful and immersive content like this!
I also enjoyed the cultural significance of this plant, it truly feels like it exists in this world and is well known.

Space angels? Space angels.
A shorter article but it does not feel like it is missing anything. There is some really nicely woven storytelling within the descriptions of the Scourge as well as hints to future lore yet to be published. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!
An organization considered cruel or monstrous by some
Genuinely just a nice read and a well displayed article. The lore behind Tyrel Fellfang and how they interact with the other denizens of Stronghold is both interesting and clear. This article does a really good job of providing a well thought out image of the organisation to it's reader and it's characters.

World: Symbols of Power
The concept of a society being ruled by a foreign power is also quite unique and inspiring. Let alone the story around the "Father stag". Some great worldbuilding here!

What's not to love? It's like if the conspiracies around Area-51 or if the SCP Foundation was a real entity. Just generally a cool concept and something i'm interested to see more of!
Α vehicle or type of vehicle used for long journeys
I love how you can truly get a sense of how rough and ragtag this contraption is. Qurilion does a great job of storytelling in this article through how the cage and it's mechanisms are described. You'd never convince me to use such a frightening and dangerous device.
This article intrigued me as it's quite a unique way of creating a railway network within a setting. The creation fits within the setting really well due to the constraints of the region and the artwork created to go along with it truly help to drive the idea of early industry. The fact that it was made by demons and no one really seems to know how it works is even better.
Biopunk creations at their best. A gross combination of machine and (un)living creature. The use of midjourney here really propells this article to a new level with informative, creepy and visceral creations.
The technical and biological details also really help to drive this creation's story and create a clear picture in the reader's mind, even without the artwork.

What's next for VISCERIUM?
More content!
Specifically, I think the next things to come will be around a unit of super soldiers called the AESIR - You'll learn more about them and Helix Technica soon! Other than that, touching up some of my Summer Camp articles and likely small tweaks to my CSS as this is an ongoing evolution and something I like to look at every now and again.
