Unborn

The realm of shadow has many locations. It is a very large island with unique biomes in certain parts of it. The north is the Abyss, where it’s eternally dark and Hypheld’s main castle actually resides where Hypheinous resides. The south is the canopy, where this who follow madness live and where many who are shadow end up trying to find their solace. Galard’s castle is a bit north of the canopy, where you’ll eventually kill him as your first demigod, and that’s still the south of the lands. the middle is empty where many burned towns and villages were once at, and empty battlefields are in the area aswell, this is also where Morne wanders aimlessly, he is rarely ever found. The east of the lands is where Langtraph is, the large city, it’s filled with many warriors, and at the end you’ll reach Irin. At the west of the lands there is the Graveland, where graves an astral graves alike adorn the dead land, this is where the dead rise and fight, where Raecaerio resides dormant in the armor, until you grow near when he reawakens from his slumber. The lands all fight each other, as none really get well with each other. Also the factions are in their dependent locations, but some can be elsewhere, and those factions without a defined location may generally be anywhere in the lands.

There are many key factions.. “The Abyss Watchers” are people who support the world being engulfed in shadow, they also use the darkness to their advantage in battle and are the followers of Hypeinous. “Those in Frenzy” are those who went mad, they were burnt by the eternal flame and went mad, a rare side effect but still possible, they are scattered in the world and use a version of eternal flame but it always makes those who are affected too long are affected by the madness. “The Order” are those who live under the crooked king, who think they’re in good hands to the greedy demigod. “Blood Scepters” are the people who partake in blood communion, to strengthen themselves and their weapons, to make others suffer for their beliefs.

A lord, a demigod, lost to the world…He wanders aimlessly, searching for the remnants of what was his empire.. he learned to use blood of him and his enemies to his advantage, using his own blood to coat his weapons to fight.. He has one bad arm, he constantly holds it with his other arm as he trudges through the world, but only lets go to fight with his other arm..

Raecaerio, the living armor, a demigod, which holds many skeletons. He was once mortal, but his soul bounded to this oversized armor, burned by the eternal flame. He is a staggering 47 feet tall, with a sword that is 3/4 of his height..He doesn’t speak, only very subtle body movements tell what he would say. He is the lord of all the dead.. skeletons spill from him during battle, and they reanimate to fight for him as they fall, even forming beasts out of bones to fight.. He uses the eternal flame when he feels it is necessary.. his whole sword becoming a deep purple with the flame ready to kill and burn forever..

Irin, by far the strongest Demigod, is a female general, known for her ability to easily use any weapon without failure. She is respectful, knows a good battle when she sees one, and will accept defeat in good honor. She is noble, and lead her army of Langtraph to fight Galard. She easily won that part of the war, but it didn’t mean much to her since he was weak. She is 7’6 with long hair that shines the color of effect she has on, wether it be green by poison, red by bleeding, astral by night, black by darkness, white by frost, and purple by eternal flame.. She uses all effects and applies them to her combat when she needs it..

The crooked king always seeked power of his own, he is quite strong in battle, being about 7 feet tall with 3 arms, the extra being a birth defect he learned to use in combat which grows off of his back.. He is the weakest of the Demi gods, but he can still do good damage, being notable for wielding a colossal sword that eventually is coated in poison.. This king is very twisted, yet can be overpowered, and almost throws a tantrum when he’s being bested, yet he groveled in the wars when he was bested by Irin.. He always believes he is the strongest in Hypheld, not calling himself the crooked king, but rather the king of all that is divine. He is very self centered and believes he should rule all of Hypheld.

It is a knight, but no ordinary one.. It’s the very being that controls all of Hypheld. From its throne, it controlled armies, set villages to ruin. It is your target.. It will not be easy to fight. The knight speaks no language, it never has spoken, it controls with force. It is 9’8 in black armor that seems to seep with shadow, the helmet having built to look like a twisted and sharp crown at the top, no part of the armor shows a person, cause the knight is no person, only darkness incarnate.. It is very weak when you find it, a far cry from its strength long ago.. but still it shows incredible strength. When you think you’ve taken it down.. it gets back up, encroaching the whole lands in darkness, and engulfs its sword in magic from the night and the moon.. It is even capable of swinging its sword to tear ravines into the very lands itself.. Beware, it is the strongest in the lands, even if it is a percent of what it used to be..
