(I literally brainstormed for minutes trying to think of a good name for a new protagonist based character, lol)
its not exactly hard to search "fantasy name generator" on google and use a generator's output for inspiration
. or just mash keys randomly, and you've still put in more effort lol.
Year 178.1
In the central square of the capital city of the Kingdom of Streamland, a half naked man covered in all manner of strange glyphs, sigils and runes is yelling and screaming with his hands raised toward the sky:
"THEY FLY SOUTH ON BLACKENED WINGS!!!" over and over again, until the city guard tried to apprehend him, at which point he cut his own throat with a dagger.
It was the third one within a month, each time with a different, seemingly ominous warning. It was dismissed by the residents as just raving lunatics.
It seems that while most cults left civilization to form covens and whatnot on the coast, it seems like Theyrn Elros' cult, the Red Hallow, never did and continued its operations in secret as it always had.
With the death of Ki, Theyrn, sly and cunning much like the Aetherials that he unknowingly imitates, seized the opportunity to increase recruitment into his cult.
As there was no more Ki, magical power was in high demand, especially among those who had lost something when the Ki was snuffed out. Those people found Theyrn.
Some of those people were inducted into the cult proper, some were fed to "Chaos" via the edge of a knife, some were fodder for their twisted experiments, and a few were sent out as preachers, like that poor fellow.
But only a few of his most loyal and trusted, would receive the "blessing" of Chaos, administered by Theyrn himself.
A little while ago the cult got their hands on a strange specimen. Apparently a fishing boat fishing off the coast of Streamland had caught a very deformed giant squid.
The cult managed to get to the thing before anyone else did. Although the cult didn't do much of interest with it, it seems that the Aetherials have been using giant squids that swim too close to their domain and get corrupted, as spies.
