      And in a sunless realm, the sun rose at last.

       

      The light of dawn was palpable on Ra’s armour as well as his skin. It was a pressure, a presence with searing physicality. The enemy hordes felt it as acid on their skin. The creatures – daemons no matter what secular truths held strong – lost what little order they had ever possessed.

       

      The Anathema! Ra heard their frantic agony as a sick scraping on the edges of his mind. The Anathema comes! The sun rises!

       

      His features were those of one born in the wild lands of Ancient Eurasia. His skin was a Terran blend of bronze and burnt umber, His eyes darker still, His hair darkest of all. The long black fall of His hair was held by a simple circlet crown of metal leaves, binding the mane back from His face so He could fight. More practical than regal.

       

      He moved as a man moved, coming through the straining ranks of His guardians on foot, pushing through the press of bodies on the rare instances they didn’t instinctively move aside for Him. He wore gold, as all of His guardians wore gold. The same sigils of Terran Unity and Imperial nobility that showed on their armour were cast thricefold upon His own. His armour joints didn’t growl with the crude industrial snarl of mass-manufactured legionary plate, but purred with the song of older, purer technologies.

       

      On His back, held by a simple strap against His flowing red cloak, was an ornate bolter of black and bronze. In His hand He carried a sword – one that looked nothing like the blade portrayed in the victory murals and illustrated sagas. By the standards of Terran lords and kings it was inarguably beautiful, but in the grip of the ruler of an entire species it was, perhaps, rather plain. A weapon to wield, a tool for shedding blood, not an ornament to be admired. Impossibly complicated circuitry latticed its blade, black and coppery against a silver so hallowed that it was almost blue.

       

      In other wars on other worlds He had greeted His Custodians with subtle telepathy, speaking their names as He passed them before a battle. Here He was more restrained, moving to the embattled front rank without offering any acknowledgement at all.

       

      Of the Neverborn, some broke ranks and fled. These cowardly shards of their vile masters knew that destruction had come. Some tore into each other, cannibalising their kindred for strength in the face of destruction. Some lost what little grasp they had on corporeality, their forms melting and dissolving before the sword-wielding monarch even reached the front lines.

       

      The strongest raged at the sin of His existence. With a gestalt bellow loud enough to shake the windless air of this alternate reality, they fought to reach their archenemy.

       

      Ra was at the Emperor’s right side, spear whirling, lashing out to punch through the amorphous bodies of flailing blue creatures that wailed through their many mouths. Sweat baked his face inside his helm. The blood in his muscles was heavier than liquid lead.

       

      ‘Orders, sire?’

       

      The Emperor raised His sword in a two-handed grip. As His knuckles tightened, the geography of circuitry ignited along the blade’s length, spitting electrical fire and wreathing the sword’s length in flame.

       

      He didn’t speak. He didn’t look at any of His warriors. The sword came down. The webway caught fire.

  3. Darius de nurem is probably up there. Was a big dog in mordskov eventline, bodyguard of mogroka, sariant, etc etc. Peak OG knight along the likes of phil, mordu, skylez and the other fellas.
  4. [!] The very fabric of the plane quivered at the site of Takemura and Bata’s death - from it, a meek hole tore open itself. A singular, otherworldly flower descended, the origin of such forever remaining unknown.
  5. As the first light broke the darkness of night, Jeffrey woke within the chambers of his abode. It was a regular day, a day like every other. However, the old, unaging alchemist had finally settled his mind. He was finally content with all that he did, the memories that he held. He had finally decided it was time to return to family. Withdrawing his bags, equipment, and necessities, he set out on a final journey across Braevos. He ventured through mountains, forests, and the sprawling cities of men, elves, orcs, and dwarves. He had never been a man of people, keeping to himself and his own devices. His decisions were often made on a whim, guided by his pupils and projects. Yet, as he traveled, he felt this was right. The solitude suited him, even as the world buzzed with life around him. This was his path, and he walked it without regret. As his journey stretched onward, his thoughts drifted to the comrades he had cherished, their names echoing like whispers in the corridors of his mind—Oijin, Peter, Brandt, Siegwald and Tilrelasiol. Each one carried a weight, a story, a bond forged in trials and triumphs. He had long understood his place in the world: a relic of a bygone era, a living tome etched with the names of those who had fallen, their memories preserved only in the depths of his heart. After scaling a peak, he had settled within a mountain somewhere in the land of Braevos. Withdrawing a pile of salts, he spread them about himself in a circle, before drawing runes upon them. With a sudden, decisive motion, his hand shot forward, piercing the very fabric of reality. He grasped at the unseen threads, pulling them apart with a force that seemed to defy the natural order. A rift opened before him, a swirling vortex of light and shadow. He paused, casting one last, lingering glance over his shoulder, his eyes filled with a bittersweet mixture of nostalgia and determination. With a final, steadying breath, he stepped into the rift, leaving Braevos behind. The past was now a memory, and his future lay ahead, among the stars, among family. @Sorcerio

  7. -1 one of the spells should be renamed to 'blood flow punch' in honor of the greatest feat of strength performed in lord of the craft's history.

  9. [=-[!]-=] Parchments lay scattered across Braevos upon notice boards, doors and dirt. To the thriving Few, It has been too long since our work within Mundus has come to a standstill, too long since the days of yore, of Bogodan the Luminous, of Saint Avenel of Belvitz. . . Has the Fire without our timeless flock dissipated? I have been travelling these lands, and beyond, for quite some time - observing, researching. There is much I have discovered, and much that I have yet to. I find myself seeking the company of the thriving few, of whose fire has not yet extinguished – the philosophers of fire. Solve et Coagula. Seek the Choir.

  14. “I had sought to venture into the stars, to find purchase to the questions that had been boggling in my mind. The astral planes have always been the answer, yet, this time - it was a mistake. This land is. . . vile, revolting. Upon my arrival, I was witness to horror; grotesque flesh and sinew littered all that was present. Corpses upon corpses festering cancerous tumors, pustules and blisters. The smell. . . the smell was unbearable, it made me sick. The contents of my stomach found themselves swiftly expelled” - An Alchemist’s log [2] The Alchemist had been wandering the plane for what felt like days, maybe weeks—he had lost track of time. Each moment filled him with more fear and uncertainty, but he kept moving forward. There was something about this place that unsettled him deep inside. Suddenly, he gasped and fell to his knees, clutching his chest. Was it the infection? The stress? Or maybe it was the Shunter’s Sickness finally catching up to him? He knew he needed to find somewhere to rest, or he'd end up as part of the fleshy, tumor-ridden landscape. He quickly grabbed an injector filled with a cloudy liquid and stabbed it into his thigh. With his heart still racing, he stumbled through the blood-soaked fields, desperate for any kind of shelter. Frantically, with a pained heart and haggard breath, he sauntered for hours, injecting himself once more as to alleviate the pain, and allow himself to continue and find a safe passage. At last, he found a semblance of a structure - a cave similarly wrought of flesh, bone, pustules, tumors and puss. It was the first thing he had discovered thus far where one could go inside. Without further thought, the alchemist made his way inside. “Whilst in my own delusions and the brink of death, I found my salvation - a simple cave wherein I believe I can rest. The infection that has made this world, I am slowly growing accustomed to it. The smell, whilst still unbearable, is becoming slightly less noticeable – good thing I brought my respirator, alongside rations and elixirs. I do not know the cause of my body failing, yet I theorize it may be an accumulation of many things that I will have to research later on. For now, I believe I will go rest, and explore the rest of the cave at light’s break” - An Alchemist’s Log [3] As the alchemist woke, he ate some of his rations and drank water. Revitalized, he was determined to see the nature of this cave. He slowly and cautiously began to stride across the narrow holes and pathways, lighting a lantern to illuminate his path in the increasingly darker innards of the cave. The cave’s passageways were far and varied, some wider, some narrower, though it appeared to be near endless. This traversal took the alchemist hours. As the alchemist pressed onward, his gaze drifted to his hands—and what he saw froze him in place. His own flesh had begun to change, warping in ways he could scarcely comprehend. His fingers now mirrored the grotesque terrain around him, their surface slick with oozing tissue and studded with budding, cancerous growths. Panic gripped him as he quickly shoved the twisted hand into his cloak, hiding it from sight. "Out of sight, out of mind," he muttered to himself, though the growing dread gnawed at the edges of his resolve. He descended to the next level and stopped, horrified by what he saw—a door covered in pulsing veins, alive and throbbing as if blood flowed through it. After a shaky breath, he pressed his hand against the slick surface and pushed it open. Darkness swallowed him as he stepped inside, the air thick and heavy. Lifting his lantern, he froze as dozens of eyes appeared on the fleshy walls, wet and glistening, all staring straight at him. Then, with a sickening ripple, more eyes opened across the room, their gaze unyielding. His hand moved to his dirk, but the eyes didn’t attack—they only watched, unnervingly alive. The Alchemist didn’t hesitate, bolting down the steps, desperate to escape the countless, unblinking eyes that followed his every move. Behind him, the cavern rumbled deeply, its pulsating walls convulsing as the flesh around him shifted and sealed off his retreat. With no path back, he was forced to plunge deeper into the endless, grotesque hallway. As he ran, the walls became increasingly horrific—twisted bodies fused into the glistening sinew began to emerge, their lifeless arms twitching to grotesque life. One by one, they lunged, clawing at him with slick, fleshy fingers until they latched on, dragging him to a halt. Struggling in vain, the Alchemist found himself ensnared, trapped by the writhing, bio-organic mass, his fate no longer his own. An Alchemist by the name of Jeffrey prepared a ritual. His hand dug into a pouch of salt, drawing a ring around himself, writing various alchemical signs and symbols between them and forming a network between the curious writings – a rite not unusual to the alchemist to traverse other worlds. He had felt a stir within him, a drive to return to the great work. For the journey, he prepared a backpack with rations, various elixirs and a respirator should the plane he was about to hop to required purification. As he finalized his rite, the thoughts in his mind began to race - what if this was his end? Afterall, he had no idea where he would appear now, each traversal appeared to be a gamble, a gamble that might eventually be his grave. Nevertheless, it was not his first time, he believed that whatever was to come is destined, and should it be his death, so be it. Finally, as the rite was finished, his provisions, tools and respirator equipped he took a breath, citing the ancient symbolics. Before him the very matter of the world began to appear vivid, akin a keyhole in the fabric itself appeared. His hand swiftly shot forth, grasping and twisting the fabric, before entering the hole of the cosm’, the rift that he created. Traversing planes was always strange, it felt like one was being shot forward and even though it was an instant, he could feel the vapor rise from his person; the force causing him to enter a three-point landing as he found himself in a new world. Leaving a crater in his wake, Jeffrey stood and looked about. Immediately, his first instinct was to put on his respirator, which muffled the rancid smell that permeated the whole plane. Secondly, he looked around for any danger, which there appeared to be none of. After making sure, he swiftly procured a glass vial, cutting some of the cancerous flesh from the very ground and stuffing it inside for future examination. Finally, he set out to explore what was destined. “This world. . . it is extraordinary indeed. I do not know what occurred here, but I hope to find the root of it. I have taken a sample of the “soil” for an examination at home. For now, I will continue onward and search for anything significant.” - An Alchemist’s Log [1] Jeffrey was trapped, his body bound tightly by the slick, sinewy tendrils of the living wall. He struggled, but it was useless; the plane itself, or whatever monstrous thing controlled it, held him fast. From the quivering mass of flesh, a malformed hand emerged, its gaunt thumb dripping with bile as it pressed firmly against his forehead. In an instant that stretched into hours, his mind was flooded with visions—symbols and horrors far more vivid than any alchemical dream. Veins slithered from the wall, piercing his skin and pumping sustenance into him, binding him fully to the pulsing, fleshy monstrosity. He fell into a dream. With a gasp, his eyes opened as the limbs let him go, the veins that were affixed to him ripping away. How long had he been here? Days? Weeks? Or had it been mere moments? Time felt meaningless now, distorted, as if it had been stretched and torn along with everything else. His body ached, but he couldn’t tell if it was from the lingering touch of the plane or the exhaustion of waking up from something far worse. He stumbled to his feet, his mind spinning, but when he looked around, nothing seemed familiar. The exit, prior sealed, had now been open - the Alchemist now free to leave.
  15. Tawkin users (bloods) vs Tawkins users (crips). Choose your side.

  16. @story-team deny any app that says 'TAWKINS', there is no lore for TAWKINS

  17. Not really, void has been known to be specifically anti-alchemy for years now. Smoggers can malfunction under void presence, now shelved afflicted (god rest its soul) used to make alchemy venom worm people go insane, homunculi also get a big debuff from interacting with void. Just a few examples on how void in particular works when in direct contact with some further alchemy. There isn't a potion to reverse lesser mutations, rather, you simply fix them the way you changed them.
  18. gonna repeat what was said earlier but makes no sense why LESSER mutations would be permanent, kind of defeats the whole purpose. Would make more sense with greater tho. Also may be my own pet peeve, but i think void mages should not be able to have any tawkin mutations whatsoever as it is the ANTITHESIS of alchemy (stay in ur own lane mage scum ! !)
  19. the vamp wars begin inshallah
