Dive into the blazing heart of Ill of Men's mythos with the Colors chapters-a vivid tapestry of kingdoms forged in fire, frost, tide, and greed. Each standalone tale unveils a realm where gods roar through molten veins, starlit skies, and cursed seas, their divine wrath clashing with the Progenitor's creeping rot. From Elsinar's golden haze, where Tiss's lust hums in every coin, to Urith's ash-choked forges, where Uhrua's flames temper souls into steel, these chapters pulse with operatic prose, weaving landscapes, mythical beasts, and scarred heroes into a saga of cosmic stakes. Explore the Edar Eons' mournful majesty, the Vil-Harss cult's void-whispers, and the fractured shield of Maewa's prismatic sky. Step into a world where every dawn is a battle cry, every shadow a curse, and every legend burns eternal.

At the Fields of Fire and Blood by crisyah_
30 parts Complete Mature
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.

Izanagi begins the archive, writing in the style of a living chronicle - not detached scripture, but story-as-history. When Zeneathil is born, Izanagi eventually passes the role to him, since recording is Zeneathil's entire being. Later, when Uriel comes into being, she joins Zeneathil in maintaining and curating it. Covers the span from the Sea Without Shape through the wars of the gods, the plagues, the birth of mortals, and ends when the angels and Lucifer's core demons are born. The introduction of the angels & core demons marks a natural "closing chapter" - a transition from proto-history into the more structured age of man and faith. The gods themselves are aware the archive is being written. Sometimes what happens is told as if seen by them - other times, as if spoken for mortals who will one day read it. 📜 Trigger / Content Warnings (for IRL sharing) Violence & Death: frequent mythic violence, divine wars, plagues, and descriptions of mortality. Body Horror / Grotesque Imagery: gods and creatures with unsettling forms (secondary mouths, missing flesh, skeletal figures, plague-born beings). Religious Themes: heavy use of deity figures, pantheons, creation myths, death & afterlife imagery (may echo or invert real-world religious tones). Plague & Disease: descriptions of divine and mortal plagues, loss of life, and mass suffering. War & Catastrophe: large-scale devastation, destruction of tribes, and cosmic conflict. Child Imagery: gods born in childlike forms (e.g. Zeneathil), but not exploited; occasionally caught in divine conflicts like children in a divorce. Fire, Ash, and Darkness: symbolic destruction, hellfire imagery, abyssal sea creatures. Mythic Sexuality / Birth Themes: divine reproduction (both natural and sculpted/forged), references to mating patterns in non-human species (sirens, hominids), but not explicit. Existential Horror: themes of fate, inevitability, and being weaponized by higher powers.
The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark
1 part Complete
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.

Eros

90 parts Complete

Eros, a world forsaken by its gods, left to be governed by kings and Magi, gifted with control over various elements. *** Some say the gods are dead. That Godswar left no victor standing. That perhaps they never wore flesh at all, and old tales are mere tales. Others say they have left this land to their creations, or merely left their bodies, and are now the living spirit of their own element, gifting and empowering their chosens. There's, however, a whisper of madness, or perhaps a jest, that the gods are alive, never ceasing to weave fate to their whims. That they will be seen once again, in time to finish Godswar. Whether it is the gods' will, or not, as the ambitions of kings and outlaws tangle with ploys of betrayal, personal vendettas, fury and passion, a war is sure to come.
