Description:

The war of the ancient gods ended with the deaths of all four elemental titans, their corpses laying ruined and broken upon the ravaged earth. From their bones, an insatiable hunger creeps out, infecting all the world and creating the spaces known to humanity's remnant as the Wilds. Twisted landscapes of endless marshes, sunless forests, opaque seas, and windswept plains, the Wilds turn everything that walks into them unprotected into monsters.

All that holds the corruption back is witchcraft: the partial sacrifice of a human's soul to perform miraculous acts, rituals that are formed by the rare people that can hear the new gods speaking to them, binding their agreements and exchanges to the world. Some, however, take the corruption within themselves, using it to fuel their own wills, even as it changes their bodies and minds. They aim to tear down what little humanity has managed to reclaim from the devastation.

Within the Witchdom, those granted gifts by the gods — the ones marked by the wisps of the ancient spirits, granted powers over wind, air, earth and fire; those who hear the voice of Fate in their minds; those who made a blood covenant with the God Of Protection — defend humanity against the darkness.

Notes:

This is an original dark fantasy universe originally created for Life Is Strange, in the form of the series Book and Candle. But I haven't just abandoned it entirely after the completion of that series...
