I’ve said this before but I think all sci-fi and fantasy adventure needs a little bit of horror as seasoning. It doesn’t need to be full sci-fi horror or fantasy horror but a little bit of scary adds flavor. Build a world and then explore the fucked up implications of that world a little bit
Miquella the kind spoke of the beginning.
The seduction and the betrayal.
An affair from which Gold arose
And so too was Shadow born.
What followed was a war unseen
One that could never be put to song
A purge without Grace or honour
The tyranny of Messmer's flame
And so Kindly Miquella would abandon everything.
His golden flesh, his blinding strength. Even his fate.
But we are not deterred. We choose to follow. Will you walk with us?
