This is what I get for sticking with Eldpoint. Thanks Mapboy. You got us killed in the HallowWorld AU.
Anytime, glad to be of service.

P.S. your wolf statue would probably still be sticking out in dilapidated form since it's on a mountain

Still working on this in my free time =)

I have updated the second post with the fates (and new names) of the Flooded Land locations, such as Storm's Landing (Skraag's Landing now), Nid Arach (Calamity Fortress) and Mockingbay (Marsh).


Edit: I also had to replace the paragrapth dividers, since the Dark Souls one decided to break for no reason.

Embarrassingly, I believed that the Eastern Continent was actually WEST of the Northern Kingdoms when I started this. Thankfully, the truth just gave me an opportunity to make this AU far more dark, as I now added that the Great Flood of Undeath invaded both coastlines-- both west and east. Now the Eeerie is covered in undead too~!

Also, added four new locations in the Hellscape!

Tylla and her kin probably would fare well, being fairly competent nomads. Theo and whatever is left of the Asrakosians are probably stuck in the Sanctuary sticking to their traditions as best as possible. I'll write something up maybe.

Added nine more locations =)
The Theatre and Blightlands locations completed.

Renamed "Deadlands" to "Blightlands," due to people changing what the locale was called IC. I prefer Blightlands, personally.

GrimdarkCymic.png

The undead that roam were no unfamiliar sight. The first few years would be taken fighting the undead from the walls of Halbed. Laughter, drinks, and merriment as each wave of Undead were scattered across the snowy outskirts of the great walls. The people of Halbed celebrated every night, the strung lanterns lit until dawn. This, tied with the increasing cold simply drained the city of it's little resources until there was not a crumb nor a drop left. The Sangrian fleet drifted from the walls and found themselves lingering just east from Linlea's coast, to Ashna's dismay, Cymic liked to think. But there was no Linlea. Ruins and a broken Kingdom much like Halbed. He sets the spyglass down and ponders that if the exalt of the grey lass could not steer away the undead that they were truly fucked. They drifted the seas with their excess supply of dry meats and old booze until there were nothing left. Ships drifted from his fleet to mesh with the Armada and the rest followed Cymic into a life of pirating and plundering ships of bone and wood for materials, souls, food and water.

Unanswered prayers brought laughter from the captain's quarters. Ships departing brought laughter. Thoughts of his friends brought laughter. Conspiracies and attempts to usurp him from the helm brought violent laughter. Hanged men from the lookout tower brought envy, maybe. With Jax forsaking the man, he carved his ink out and let it scab and scar.

The last time anyone ever saw him was the raid of Astrakahn. The last time anyone heard from the man was in story or tale. Cymic sailed into the coast and led an army inland toward the gates of Bol'tn'thar and never made it. Cymic drifted off to the east and starved with his raiders. Cymic laughed himself to death and his voice still rings out to those he loves. Cymic stumbled from the bow of his ship in a drunken fit and the water turned red where he fell. Or maybe Kethron turned him into a gem. All would be true ends to the men and women of Sangria, though which group Cymic had joined is anyone's guess. What is concrete is that the Armada has spotted a ship that still sails with the symbolics of the fallen kingdom, those aboard decorating the ship like they would a Sangrian home. It glows off the coast, laughter and the clink of drinks ringing from it. A slice of heaven away from hell.

Sorry Niarn - I turned your Ravenport into El Dorado.

Not at all. To be honest: because there is only a build thread about Ravenport and no actual lore I could reference, I just had to create something entirely different. Unreachable location = legend!

Updated the thread quite a little. Nothing was added: instead, words were changed around to put more emphasis on the Realm ending in 'The End' rather than any particular reasoning for 'The End' taking place. 'Causes' of events were removed to add flair and mystery to why the Realm ended. Will add more things later, such as the sky having no stars and the remaining events. Nouns were also updated with the Eastern Continent being the Eastern Kingdoms as well as every coastline being flooded.

Life is brutual in this Hallowworld concept.
Not many people are alive. There are no major groups that reach thousands. That would take away from the point of this fan-fiction being the absolute 'end times' where everything is dying aside from monsters who, even after dying, simply become another form of monster for the living to contend with-- as nothing can truly die. Sorry Blorbis83 c: No legion of a thousand Astrokosians. The only groups that may have over a thousand members belonging to a singular culture are the Deep Dwarves, Soolerans and the Bwabo.

I am writing this as if these are major locations for a game, concepts of a lore in a world where people must compete to survive against impossible odds. It helps writing this way, as a based lore can help with writing further stories. As such... here is a singular tale now, a journal written by an unnamed, unaffiliated Remnant attempting to survive.

Found ink. Taght two read by seafairer. Sharpend wyvern feathr. Thoughts for another. Movin north-west. No food. Feet soaked. Elmentl moved hill paff

Watched Shenpai on Youtube play Dark Souls 3 and it inspired me to come back to this! I will certainly be adding more soon, I hope. For now:

I added Candlewood, Stirling Reserve and Amalfia to the locations list, if you can find them with their new names.
I am afraid I do not yet know enough about Drakenport to add it- I want to get it right. Sorry Retro :(

Once the locations are done, I focus more on the factions c:

Luna - The Forgotten
A child waits in the ruins of the Pass’s mineshafts, hidden away from the roaming beasts by a network of narrow passageways she herself can barely fit through. She’s forgotten her family, her origins, everything but her name and a flickering hope that someone might just come back for her. Her only company subsists of a malnourished Skoll, One, whom she tries her very best to feed with the meager berry-bushes she’s managed to coax into living for a few days. The Outside is a foreign, terrifying place for her, one which she’s vowed never to venture to unless absolutely necessary. Etched into the walls of her home are thousands of markings, each one for another day survived. Reading a tattered, waterlogged storybook until she can recite the words by heart is her only comfort in this horrific world she was born into.

Maple - The Red Fury
A ruthless Mage who seems to delight in chaos and conflagration, defending her turf in Riverside with a passion not unlike the fires she starts with abandon. She has only one desire to use her newfound power for, however - protecting the little bubble she’s created for her lover and herself, their refuge from the outside world.

let’s be real, fi is too nice to survive five minutes in this au.

Nobody enters the castle-- it is still filled with pre-apocalypse treasures, armour and luxury. Even the Mages of Harlow, however, leave the quiet castle be… for within, it is legend that the last Hawklight King still sits upon the throne, silent and waiting.
Lmao, sounds about right :D

Tol'lek - The Prophesier
This old moor mad mage claims to have predicted and lead the end, and he sees the world now as returned to what it is supposed to be, the natural state of order and balance to the world achieved. His end was met apon trying to burn down Skraag's landing only to be consumed by the Hoard, going out in style one could say.
Hellmann - The Lonely Lich
She often dwells near the calamity fortress, moving from body to body every couple years, comfortable around the undead, remembering all of the old world, wondering if she could have stopped him, immortal as she could be, the woman would find herself never satisfied, she misses what once was, her line, her family, and above all, 'her goddess'. She tells travellers of the old world, tales of yor and lore, guiding the innocent and weak through the fortress safely.
