Swordbearer HUB

Mirh is on the edge of collapse
The occult influence of Dehest is growing stronger. Its legions of Gray Elves spread, invading the last free lands. Orcs are almost extinct. Humans and Elves are soon to follow the same fate. Giants haven't been seen for centuries.

Those who are not fighting on the front lines are still threatened by pirates, bandits, and cults. Tainted creatures lurk in the wildlands. Kings and Queens are hopeless, ready to be overthrown by powerful sorcerers.

Faith is dwindling. Gods remain silent. Are they watching ? Are they gone ?

The Immaterial, invisible realm source of all magical currents, is unstable. The surge of black energy weaken all its other aspects. While some use whatever strength they have left, others delve deeper into forbidden knowledge, feeding their own interests.

It is the year 920 of the 4th Era, and a few lost souls are about to get involved in the grand scheme of things.

ACT I : starting in March

What is Swordbearer ?

It started years ago as a story I was writting for my own enjoyement. It went through several reworks already. I put it aside when I started my full time art job, and created alter egos of my OCs that would fit in a new NSFW setting, better suited for all the lewd things I was/am drawing.

Recently, as I was missing my OCs really much, I decided to get back to the story. I tweaked a few things to make it more lewd. That way, I can do messy artworks of the cast, villains, secondary characters, etc... while keeping it canon !

The storyline is 100% done, leaving room for changes if needed of course, especially now I included a sex aspect to it. As of today, I have two books written... IN FRENCH (I'm a french dood). So, I'm doing my best to translate and adapt what I already have, for you to enjoy.
BOOK ONE IS NOW FULLY UPLOADED !

My goal is to finish the story, of course, and publish at least one chapter a month (ideally two). I don't want to over promise, because after I'm done with the easy part (translating what I already wrote), I will have to create the following content from scratch, which will require more time.

What's the pitch ?

This is a medieval fantasy story, a bit dark, now a bit lewd too. You follow a handful of main characters as they do their best to survive and find answers to their questions. The lewd addition turned the main cast into a harem party, with one man and his loyal women allies. Though, I'm also taking advantage of the villains and many secondary characters to explore more... exotic kinks.

Some details :

I will make in-depth posts about lore and most aspects of the world as we progress through the story, but here are a few things about the setting.

The Immaterial is a dimension where mages draw power from. It is existing on the same level as the physical world, but only reachable for those who have affinities. One can litteraly explore it in a meditative state and find insights, hear incantations, read intangible scrolls, etc... It is the source of magic.

Magic has a lot of uses and came in different currents, also called colors. Though, for some reason no one managed to find yet, one can only learn a set number of spells. After a certain amount of knowledge has been absorbed, nothing more can hold in one's mind. This led to two main schools : those becoming experts of one color, delving deeper and deeper to master more potent spells of one current. And those remaining at the surface level but learning a multitude of lesser spells. Their is a few exceptions to this rule though...

Races on Mirh are simple. Humans, Elves, Giants and Orcs.

Humans and Elves were the first ones. Both are mortal races. Humans living a hundred years give or take, and Elves roughly two hundred and fifty years, and are separated in a few species, depending on their magic affinities.

The most sensitive to magic among Humans became Giants, generation after generation. Though, centuries before the story starts, they left. No one saw them since then. Oppositely, those among the Elves without strong magic skills became the Orcs. Sadly for them, they are but a few now, wiped out by the Enemy.

Dehest is the greatest threat Mirh has ever known. It is the land's name to be precise. It is mostly occupied by the Silent Ones, but rumors speak about even darker beings. Thousands of years ago, the Silent Ones appeared out of nowhere, in the heart of the Orcs territory. They decimated them, turning most survivors into slaves. They spread and established new frontiers, forming what the Free people of Mirh call Dehest ("out-of-our-nightmares" in elvish).

Something to help you locate things :

This map shows places visited or spoke of in the introduction. It will be updated as the story progresses, with added lore, details, etc...

I would be more than happy to detail parts you have questions about, feel free to let me know anything you have in mind !

This story is my most beloved project, that's why I want to share it with as much people as possible. Thus, all chapters and artworks will be FREE.

You have to know that I rely on commissions to make a living, which requires time. So, if you feel like supporting me and this project by becoming a patron, at some point, I will be able to take less comms and spend more time on Swordbearer, refining it and adding extra artworks and sketches, lore, etc...

I truly hope you will like this adventure. I'll continue to refine it and post content about it anyway, but it would really make my day if you enjoy the story and all the characters.
