Genre:
Dark fantasy with horror elements, heavily inspired by works like Berserk and Bloodborne. The narrative explores the collision of human willpower against overwhelming cosmic horror, framed in a deeply oppressive and violent world.
Setting:
The story is set in the world of Duskveil, a realm plunged into eternal eclipse after the Black Sun, an eldritch entity, consumed the sky. The land is cloaked in perpetual twilight, where shadows twist into horrors and light becomes an object of worship. Major locations include:
• The Pale Citadel: The ruined seat of a long-dead monarchy, now a battleground for desperate factions.
• The Hollow Peaks: A labyrinthine mountain range riddled with caves that lead to abyssal depths where the Black Sun's touch is strongest.
• The Maw of Sorrow: A cursed city engulfed by a massive crater, said to be where the Black Sun first descended.
• The Shadowroads: Fractured highways patrolled by marauding cults and shadow-beasts.
Themes:
• The futility of vengeance and the endless cycle of violence.
• Humanity's desire for meaning in an uncaring, malevolent universe.
• The corruption of the soul through despair, hatred, and obsession.
• The fragile balance between heroism and monstrosity.
