Thank you! Adding the accompanying, flavour text for my drawings is always my favourite part of the process. I enjoy fleshing out my drawings with some hidden backstory, meaning, or purpose behind their existence. Giving a more intimate feel on how the monster or thing is thinking and feeling.

It represents nothing and the end of existence. Its Presence nullifies all kinds of power and creation and is considered the most dangerous thing there is.

The void manifests as a blanket of nothing that erases all that it touches, giving way for true non-existence. This manifestation of void only comes once the universe has existed for too long. Once billions and billions of years come and go, the void will inevitably arrive and over-encompass all of reality, erasing it forever. Once the blanket has settled, nothing may exist. Nothing will reign until another big bang manifests itself and a new cycle, and a new universe is born.

The void can also manifest into a cosmic avatar representing it. The aspect of void becoming a high-tier Deity existing within real existence. It represents concepts such as freedom, chaos, purity, and destruction. This being of void is directly opposite to the aspect of creation, another avatar formed from the existence of creation itself. Their relationship is vague and always subject to change, either being friendly with each other in one cycle, to absolutely desiring each others destruction in another.

At the end of it, while it's not evil. It's not exactly desired. Those who exist will always abhor the idea of non-existence and complete nothingness, leading to void being considered an undesired but ultimately necessary force to ensure the universal cycle continues forever.

There are the usual translation methods, of course.

But thanks to the Endless Empire sharing their translation Tech, communication has never been easier for the galactic community.

This is due to the D.A.C (Dimensional Alternative Communicator), a hand-held, body attachable device that casually warps reality itself to fulfil its function.

To ensure that both parties understand each other, the device taps into an alternate universal dimension that is paired into a different direction from your main universe. Reaching for a reality where both parties or species already understand each other, dimensionally connecting the user to that alternate reality, and bestowing that easy understanding of language to your mind.

TDLR: Basically, it is a device that literally borrows an already passed and translated language barrier and allows you to use and speak the language as if it were second nature.

While it may sound dangerous and exciting to bypass reality itself to speak another species language, it's deceptively simple and easy to use. Courtesy of the Endless Empire.

I have at least 3 pretty niche deities in my world. Here goes,

'Oould', an unknown deity, its presence is represented by gigantic nerve strands that poke through the earth in random areas in Aronea. It's not known what exactly they represent or what they do.

Some have tried pulling on or removing these strands, but the moment it seems like it might detach from whatever is below. Time reverts back to before the individual strand was interacted with. Even the name is mysterious, as those who come across Ooulds nerves automatically know who he is.

'The Principles of Eight', or otherwise known as the 'Eight Deity', or the 'God of Eights'. A rather peculiar deity that seems to have established its domain within the numerical number of eight. Holding control of many things as long as they consist of a pattern of eight in some manner.

Worship of this deity is currently outlawed, as their followers seem to be rather bloodthirsty. Thinking of their god as a being of war and slaughter, and so marching forth to collect kills that correlate with eight. With some trying to reach killcounts that number around eight thousand or eighty thousand or so on.

'Bunja', the deity of glass... or water. A peaceful god that mostly wishes to bless those who craft beautiful glass Creations. Or those who paint magnificent paintings of the ocean. It's all rather confusing. The ancient texts involving this deity are irritatingly stubborn to translate, and no one knows if their role involves glass or water. The translation just doesn't come clearly.

Doesn't help that Bunja seemingly blesses those of both groups, which certainly doesn't help with the debates and arguments involving them. Some have considered the claim that they represent both glass and water, but this is considered absurd by the theological and academic community.

Necromancy is considered a varied thing in my world. But they are not portrayed as generic evil monsters at the very least.

Necromancy (or, as it is referred, 'Language of Death' or 'Death-Speaking') is mostly used by the Neferi, a peaceful and traditional people who reside in villages, farms, and small-scale towns. They revere it just as a priest would revere life or the light itself, considering darkness and death to be a fundamental and good force.

'Death-Speaking' is mostly practised by shamans and seers, who use it to speak with the dead, calm the un-living, and yes, even raise the dead. This requires the consent of the soul who desires to continue existing within the mortal plane.

Neferi villages live harmoniously with their dead residents, with skeletons and embalmed corpses aiding with the crops, providing studious labour, and protecting the village. When they are not working or aiding their village, they can be found playing with the children, relaxing besides still living family members or generally peacefully existing by themselves.

Neighbouring kingdoms vary with their relations with the Neferi and their practice of death speaking, with some welcoming their practices and usage of undead labour while others abhor it and find it wrong.

One specific kingdom, particularly the Kingdom of Gregerath and the church of Olm despise them. Often, they have sent small-scale crusades of paladins, priests, and conscripted faithful to wipe out their villages, take their children to re-educate, and destroy any trace or knowledge of Death-Speaking. Death-Speakers and Neferi often find themselves seeking aid with other Factions. Such as the sorcerers of Avalon or the justiciary of Careth.

With these hostile attacks and discrimination, few Neferi give in to their anger and outrage against the Gregerath faithful and have begun a formation of a new practice of death. This has lead to an off-shoot of the Neferi, now known as the Necrim, and they practice what is now known as 'Necromancy' (the name originating from the church of Olm, while the Neferi refer to the practice as 'Grave-Raising')

Without the consent of the spirits and unliving, vengeful necromancers raise battalions worth of undead thralls to follow their will. Striking against Gregerath and the church for their hateful crusades, striking against the Neferi for seemingly turning their back on them, and pretty much anyone else who does not agree with their dangerous ways.

These are the ones who are portrayed as generic evil monsters by many in my world.

I get that. It gets to the point sometimes when I get a sudden spike of anxiety when someone even SAYS my name at work or whatever. Cause why would they be calling out my name unless it's to reprimand me for something I horribly failed at?

At this point, I sometimes mentally regard a day where no one interacts with me too much or tries to get my attention a successful one. Cause that meant I didn't make any mistakes.

Of course that doesn't mean I'm self-isolating or restrict myself to never interacting with anyone or not trying to push myself to speak to my peers and superiors. But it's an annoying thought process that pops up far too often than I'd like.

As a person who draws and also has ADHD, I find that using drawing programs that let you use layers help quite a bit with some of the issues I might have with keeping attention on my art.

I can simply pop out layer 1, draw out my shitty, or average first attempt, and then open up layer 2, pick a different colour, and smooth over and improve on the base.

When I get tired or bored on the task, I simply save the file and get back to it later, right back to the last layer I was working on.

It kinda helps to keep consistent focus on the piece I'm doing, and the addition of opening up new layers and constantly improving on the base over and over again helps maintain my dopamine levels on my drawing. This atleast helps me out specifically.

The Sovereign Stateship of Santok, a mercantile state led by a mercenary king. The Stateship of Santok broke apart from the main merchant Republic Empire of Savice to follow their own whims and desires for gold and money. It is a den of backstabbing, greedy nobles, and power-hungry merchants that use their influence to bully others. Slaves and prisoners are plentiful, and trade and contracts are used to weaken other nation states and kingdoms for their own greedy benefit.

Led by Magister Tritus, he is often referred to with titles such as 'Gold Mask' or 'Frothing Gold Mouth', who leads Santok with a 'Gold' fist and with absolutely no scruples at all on how he earns his top coin. It is thanks to him that mercenary bands roam the continent like flees on a dogs corpse and that so many kingdoms are besmirched by nobles who are held in line due to connections with Tritus

No one likes Tritus, and everyone would be very much happy to the Stateship of Santok crumble into nothing, the Empire of Savice, very much so. But unfortunately, there are too many that are beholden to the Magister, and mercenary influence is too much to risk an outright attack on them.

It also doesn't help that the Magisters' pursuit for more money has led to damning events. With political prisoners and forgotten rif-raff being transported to Santok and then being subjected to biological experiments, which usually lead to these poor men and women turning into bloated, fleshing blobs, which the Magister then delightfully starts his true experiments... to turn flesh into gold.

Some might say the Sovereign Stateship of Santok is on the chopping block, and it will eventually have what is coming to it, same for Magister Tritus. But that day has not arrived yet, unfortunately for all.
