Pilgrimage into the Painted Abyss
Centuries after the current era, humanity deteriorated from their subsequent flawed shortcomings. Unfortunately, mankind therefore sought self-destruction, aiming to supplant their own deities, leading the world to be administered by a superior species of their own creation. This advanced dominion, centuries later, ordained the Homo sapiens extinction event, reducing humanity to a heresy, governing the world through their own occult beliefs, treating the remaining human life as spectacles and relics of a bygone era before their deaths.
Under the rule of the distant and mysterious Queen, a great majority of the last humans are allowed permission to exist in Denmark, protected by a loose decree of her own forces: the Wovencraft regime.
Amidst the lost and isolated human survivors remains an orphaned, neurotic boy named Nidus, who, outside of this world, the gods and oracles have identified as a focal point of change in the universe. A fulcrum upon which the cosmos waits in dichotomy: a prophet of great blessing or unfathomable calamity.
A Child capable of either shattering or recreating all realms for the self-imposed righteous or the resourceful unholy.
Behind the shadows, factions and parties from both realms scheme to claim Nidus as their own to fulfill their purpose, one to save their own world while the other plots to exploit and reveal the other's true motives.
As rival heavens conspire to claim him, and while his own world tightens their grip around his own mortality, Nidus forms a sacrilegious bond with an unlikely entity-an alliance amidst the being's mission that grants him the chance to resist a regime determined to erase him and his humanity.
In a world that treats living as blasphemy and exploits innocence, Nidus must seek his own meaning in this world and carve his own path created by his own demons and lifelong trauma.
