The timeline

VISCERIUM is split into 4 eras, throughout each a continous timeline weaves the fates of humanity together. Every decision made, every life birthed and snuffed out impacts the world. These four eras are a peek into the world of VISCERIUM at different points in time.
Each of the above-linked eras explain their respective moments in time in more detail, providing you with more context as a reader before diving into the subsequent articles within.

The place

The majority of VISCERIUM's story takes place on Errack, a planet wrought with extremes. From luscious verdant forests to glassed deserts and the talest peaks, Errack is home to humanity and all manner of peoples vying for a chance at survival.
Errack is housed in the Degel System and is cut-off from the rest of the universe. The Degel system is rich in resources but equally rich in dangers, for whilst Errack is the dominion of the Myrkild, the void of the Degel system is the Naranor's astral domain.

The threat

Nadirs of Sin by Me (Fall)

The Seven

Behold the Nadirs of Sin, a chilling embodiment of wickedness that fractures the frail boundaries of virtue. Known as "The Seven", these dread leaders emerge from the depths of darkness, their malefic presence permeating existence. Each Nadir epitomises vice and malevolence, like serpents entwined in a dance of corruption, they wield their nefarious influence over the realms, whispering poison into the hearts of mortals and tainting the fabric of reality itself.
As icons of corruption, "The Seven Nadirs of Sin" evoke a world steeped in moral decay. They revel in chaos, orchestrating the downfall of empires with insidious glee. Their power is vast, their maleficence woven into the fabric of reality.
Beware the siren call of the Nadirs, for their whispers of temptation can shatter the resolve of the noblest souls. From the chilling embrace of Envy to the searing fires of Wrath, their insidious influence draws forth the hidden darkness that slumbers within us all. In their wake, ruins of shattered dreams and the cries of the fallen bear testament to the destructive might of these malevolent paragons.
Step cautiously, for the necrotide looms ever closer, ready to engulf all.

The Holy Septuplet

The resplendent presence of The Holy Septuplet, renowned as "The Seven Zeniths of Virtue", casts an awe-inspiring radiance. These enlightened beings, endowed with superior power, draw strength from the collective consciousness of sentient life, their very essence pulsating with the energy of enlightenment. They stand as beacons of divine purpose, their majestic splendor casting an opaque veil.
In stark contrast to the malevolent Nadirs of Sin, The Holy Septuplet embodies an innate desire to purify the impure and restore light to the realm. While each Zenith thrives on the potent emotions of living beings, their objective lies in conversion rather than destruction. Through this symbiotic process, they sustain their ethereal might, harnessing the power of countless souls to further their cause of eternal purity and righteousness.
Yet, behind the captivating facade of their resplendent radiance, secrets lie concealed, awaiting the discerning gaze that dares to see beyond the surface. In the allure of their majesty, many are blinded to the subtle undercurrents and enigmatic motives that permeate their being.
Unravel the enigma of The Seven Zeniths of Virtue, and venture forth with caution, for within their celestial embrace lies a realm both mesmerizing and disquieting, where the boundaries between enlightenment and darkness blur into an intoxicating dance of shadows and revelations.

The powers

Resonance

A cosmic power exists within VISCERIUM's universe - Resonance. This attunable force alows for the manipulation of matter in all its forms, the visible and not.
In the expanse of reality, all things resonate with a primal vibration, the heartbeat of existence, a rhythm, oscillations, amplitudes, frequency... all echoing throughout the universe. This vibration whispers of untold power, its beat not heard yet undeniably present.
Resonance blends unique martial artforms with prolific use of sound, from deep gutteral bass to screeching high-pitched worbles.
A resonant - those capable of weilding resonance, manipulate the flow of cosmic energies from The Wyrdweave into acts of unreality.



Hornd & Uyilor-bonding

Those bound to a Kildhornd or Uyilor are known as "Hornd-bound"/"Uyil-bound", some deem this a blessing, others a curse. Bonding with a Kildhornd, or Uyilor is a bargain for power at the cost of life.


Flesh crafting

This abominable art alters the human form, granting the power of transofmation to the bound. Previously only a trait that the Myrkild and Naranor were capable of, now gifted to mortals.


Burst summoning

Unleashing that which is held within, burst summoning releases the Myrkild/Naranor that is bound within the Kildhornd/Uyilor.
