RETROGRADECOMiCS31
When the All-Consuming Darkness descends as a cataclysmic wave across the realms, reality itself fractures. Nature screams in terror as animals go mad with primal dread. The fundamental forces-Order and Chaos, Light and Life-bend and strain under the weight of this apocalypse. Even the ancient concepts of balance that govern existence begin to fail.
The Lords of Order themselves cannot stand against this darkness. They require something new, something forged in desperation.
Across the fractured realms-each inspired by the rich traditions of Earth's continents-heroes are chosen, tested, and broken down only to be reforged. From African tribal kingdoms where spirits walk alongside the living, to the frozen North where Windigo beasts stalk and shapeshifters prowl, to Eastern lands of honor and discipline, to Southern desert realms where sand spirits whisper ancient secrets, to European territories where old gods still hold sway-each realm contributes its champions.
These heroes must be perfected through trial and suffering. They must embody the strength, wisdom, and power to face what even cosmic entities cannot. Their forging will require them to embrace practices both sacred and terrible: ritual cannibalism to preserve ancestral knowledge, communion with primal beast spirits, pacts with entities of chaos, and the sacrifice of their very humanity.
This is epic dark fantasy woven from the mythologies, spiritual practices, and cultural traditions that shaped our world-African tribal cosmology, Inuit and Native American legends, Asian philosophical traditions, European folklore, and Middle Eastern mysticism-all converging as the multiverse screams its death rattle.
The old world is dying. What rises from its grave remains to be seen.
