Dragon milking is a dangerous and demanding procedure that should only be done by dragon handlers with extensive experience, as they are not traditionally kept creatures.
The first step is to slowly approach the dragon and ensure that it is calm and at ease. Once the dragon has been subdued, the milker must grasp its horns with care and place a sufficiently large pail beneath its chin.
To stimulate milk production,... 2022-12-13 19:23:44 +0000 UTC View Post
Vampiris Sanguis
The tales of vampires as creatures that lurk in the darkness of nightfall are as old as we can trace back all of our forefather’s written records of the world. Vampires are undead monstrosities that sustain themselves from the blood of the living. Vampires, as vulgar animals, are not picky about the source of the blood that they desire.
A person is turned into a vampire if they are cut, bitten, o... 2022-12-09 20:06:48 +0000 UTC View Post

The nature of souls is a cyclical one.
People die and are reborn over and over in what we can only assume is an eternal process of gestation, the perpetual development of the living core towards a state of what we can only assume is perfection — divinity.
While this is beautiful in a way, there is also a great sadness to it. Yes, we might climb towards the highest summit of self-actualization; however, think of a... 2022-11-30 18:52:31 +0000 UTC View Post
I hate heroes.
I know that historically, it’s not a popular opinion, but I just can’t stand them, Guy. Pompous assholes. You know what the problem with heroes is?
They’re always too late.
Someone can only be a hero if there’s an act of heroism involved, that’s sort of the whole title, you know? That means a problem, a disaster, has to already be in play and perhaps even ha... 2022-11-27 21:01:21 +0000 UTC View Post
Not every one-hundred year crisis involves a Demon-King.
Each of them is unique in its own way. Even the several Demon-Kings who have been present in our world were vastly different from one another, and as such, so too were the consequences of their risings. Great wars and revolutions have been labeled crises by the global system that governs our world, as have the births of more benign dark forces and terrible illnesses that plagued the landscap... 2022-11-27 15:12:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Natural ambient magics are present all around us at any time of our lives, whether at home or in the deepest dungeons of the world.

The fate of heroes is a topic that is often not discussed in the grand stories that we tell of them. Roughly a third of all recorded crises have resulted in the need for a true hero to be summoned from another world, or for one to ascend from within our own, in order to provide direct intervention and to save us from the darkness of calamity.
However, once the crisis has been destroyed and these heroes have se... 2022-11-11 20:40:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Clockwork is the term we use to describe delicate machinery, the likes of which is only found in the western city, atop the mountain. This is because the creations there are powered by crystals harvested from the mountain that are able to be used as fuel sources for these devices. However, these crystals only act as energetic resonators while on the mountain. Outside of it, they lose their power, and so all of the machinery becomes entirely nonfunctional.
What could a world without gods even look like?
Just in plain theory, of course.
Without grand temples to the specter of death, without the guiding force of Avarice influencing the free-market and its doings, without the gods of the lakes and rivers and the waters of ponds, whose names can hardly begin to relevant, all influencing the flow of such things, without all of these things and so many, many more factors, what could the world ever hope to be?

We are heading into an arc of supreme violence soon as we move into the latter segments of the story.
Should Isaiah continue its protective redeemer archetype, continuing to spread the faith and its message? Or should incoming threats, human threats, such as the zealous crusaders be fought off with fatal force? =x
Essentially, I am asking you how high the violence-slider in this story should go for the finale build-up.
