The Thrones and the Necromancers
190 parts Ongoing MatureIf there's one thread that weaves through these chapters-through the carnage of battle, the shadowed alleys of the capital, and the quiet horror of Sandro's workshop-it's this: history is written in blood, but lived in the cracks.
From the opening scenes of the ogre's rampage, where soldiers dissolve into "pulp" and "gore" as if their lives were no more than smudges on a page, to Ethan's desperate dance between disguise and death, The Thrones and the Necromancers leans into a raw, unflinching tone. This isn't a tale of heroes in shining armor but of survivors: a fugitive soldier with a price on his head, a noble daughter caught between duty and doubt, even a corpse-tinkering hermit who guards secrets darker than his basement.
What makes this story tick, behind the scenes? It's the contrast between grand illusions and gritty reality. The capital glows with lanterns and laughter, but its streets reek of fear and rot. Duke Mrak smiles like a benevolent father, yet his hands hold on power (and a sword) with the cold precision of a executioner. Even Ethan-our reluctant "hero"-isn't chasing glory. He's just trying not to become another stain on the cobblestones.
This isn't a story about changing the world. It's about surviving it-messily, fearfully, and sometimes with a stolen cloak or a well-timed fireball. And in that survival? That's where the real history lives.
After all, kings and empires fade. But the memory of a soldier who ran, a daughter who questioned, a hermit who chose to save? That's the dust that sticks.
The Thrones and the Necromancers is less about epic battles than the echoes they leave. Stay close to the shadows. The best stories are there.
