Theme Song
Minding my own business
Knock at the door, who is it?
Be right there, one minute
Gotta get up and go get it
Got white hair, eyes all crazy
Now most mad men don't phase me
But these guys, I'll admit it
Got me scared, we're finished...
The scientists proved it, we're all gonna die
Charts, equations, how, when, and why
You did not invite them and neither did I
But they're here, drink up
We're all gonna die...
End of All Things BannerAI.jpg
Hello everyone! I’ve been a longtime member here and want to give a story that I’ve been working on for some time one more chance as a roleplay. I’m hoping to get to know some fellow great writers to help me out. I believe I have a story and setting that will interest quite a few people. It’s a rework/reimagining of a roleplay I tried here quite a few years ago. So if you recognize me or the plot, feel free to shout me out!
So, to cut to the chase, I’m looking for some dedicated and experienced writers to help me flesh out and organize the lore for this world and story that I’ve been working on for the better part of a decade. The new title of the project is “The End of All Things” and it will be a dark medieval fantasy with an apocalyptic storyline. The setting is akin to George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire”, Kentaro Miura’s “Berserk”, & Glen Cook’s ”The Black Company”.
A quick synopsis:
The massive continent of “Seldwa” is home to many kingdoms and nations, each with their own long and complicated histories with each other. There is a rare state of peace in the modern day, begging to be broken. The leaders and denizens of Seldwa are unaware that quickly approaching their known world is an ancient, Lovecraftian space-god known as “Engriact” whose only form of sustenance is the “life force” of a world.
To prepare the planet for his arrival, Engriact sends his “Heralds of Death”, beings from worlds he has consumed in the past millennia that are cursed with immortality so they can serve Engriact for eternity. Their job is to end the lives of as much of the population as they can before Engriact’s arrival, causing the planet to swell with their “souls” and giving Engriact a larger “meal”.

Engriact
This is where the characters come in. They are just citizens of this world as this chaos very slowly unfolds. Some will slowly realize the strange occurrences around them, while others may find themselves victims of, or manipulated by the Heralds. There is a strong emphasis and focus on character development.
Herald of Manipulation Shala
Role: Spiritual Advisor to the Crown / Pathogen of the Mind
Status: Embedded (Active 9 Months)
Location: The Royal Palace, Kanzar
__________________________________________________
PHYSICAL PROFILE
ShalaAI.jpg
Base Form: A statuesque humanoid with sickly, pale greenish skin, subtly pointed ears, and predatory fangs.
Mimicry: A master shapeshifter capable of perfect physical and vocal mimicry of any individual she has physically contacted.
Current Form: A young, beautiful dark-skinned Nomasda woman. In Roadalia, she is almost always seen in the modest, layered grey dressings of a high-ranking cleric, maintaining an aura of serene, holy authority.
ShalaShapeshiftedAI.jpg
__________________________________________________
TRAITS & ABILITIES
The Whisper: A telepathic infiltrator who does not force compliance but plants suggestions. Victims perceive these thoughts as their own divine revelations or logical conclusions.
Paranoia Amplification: She feeds on the distribution of trust. Her presence acts as a catalyst for mental instability, turning mild suspicion into violent, state-sanctioned conviction.
Spiritual Decimation: Shala specializes in the slow death of a culture’s hope and identity, ensuring the social fabric is shredded from within before Engriact's final harvest begins.
BACKGROUND & MOTIVE
Shala is the scalpel of Engriact. While other Heralds focus on physical slaughter, her purpose is to ensure that the social fabric of a nation is rotted away from the top down. In Roadalia, she has weaponized the "Way of the Mother," turning Queen Bwalya Dasa into a puppet of mass internal destruction. She is the unseen hand behind the Queen's increasingly erratic and violent decrees.
Herald of Rage Garnerge
Role: The Instrument of Slaughter / Primal Terror
Status: Active (Arrival Recent)
Location: Swazi Rainforest, Seldwa
__________________________________________________
PHYSICAL PROFILE
GarnergeAI.jpg
Stature: An 11-foot-tall behemoth with explosive muscle mass, particularly in his legs, designed for devastating speed and crushing force.
Appearance: Pale, vein-streaked skin and a face twisted into a permanent mask of fury. He carries no weapons, as his limbs and raw strength are the primary tools of his harvest.
Presence: A walking catastrophe. His arrival causes a psychic "static" that triggers primal fear in local wildlife and humans alike, turning the rainforest into a silent graveyard.
__________________________________________________
TRAITS & ABILITIES
Unstoppable Momentum: His massive leg strength allows him to shatter stone and iron. Once he begins a charge, no conventional barricade in Seldwa can hold him.
Berserker Aura: His proximity can trigger uncontrollable aggression in those nearby, causing allies to turn on each other before he even reaches the front line.
Regenerative Harvest: He sustains his monstrous vitality through the very act of slaughter, becoming a self-healing engine of destruction the longer a battle lasts.
BACKGROUND & MOTIVE
Garnerge is the blunt-force trauma of Engriact’s Heralds. While Shala rots the soul from the inside through manipulation, Garnerge is sent to dismantle the physical structures of civilization. Dropped into the dense Swazi Rainforest, he serves as the "beater" of the harvest—flushing out survivors and ensuring that the physical cost of resistance is too high for any nation to bear.
I had much of the lore and other story points all worked out on an old computer that had the hard drive go kuputz (such as the nations and their histories), but thankfully most of it I can still pull from my head. I do want to rework a few elements which is why I’m poking around for some interest. This is something that will probably take a long time to get off the ground before we would actually be roleplaying, but I’m willing to put in the weekly work if I can find a friendly and talented group wants to work with me.
I am strictly looking for 18+ writers as I plan on exploring adult themes in this story. Themes such as:
-Racism and racial equality
-Classism
-Alcoholism and addiction
-Mental health and PTSD
-Generational trauma
-The ugly realism of medieval warfare
Also, this is a low fantasy world. Very little amount of any magic or anything supernatural, especially at the beginning of our story. There are only humans on this world, split up into diverse cultures and races.
So what do you think? There’s a hell of lot more to this thing, but I figured I’d slap this little interest check together while at work to see if anyone is interested in the concept and helping me build this. Hope to hear from some interested parties soon!
