Midnight. Grim Reapers were supposed to be asleep at this time, but there was no real rule against it. It was a... “recommendation” at best, or so they say. They’re always watching anyway... But Grelle was never one to obey rules. 

Besides, she needed answers.

She knew that Phantomhive brat was asleep by now—human children need their sleep, right?—as well as the other humans. Reapers needed sleep too, and especially Grelle as she counted this time as her beauty sleep. However, this as too important...

It damaged Grelle’s pride to seek help like this, but she saw no other option. She was beginning to not know who to trust in the Reaper World, not that she had any friends to begin with—except for Ronald. He was fun and wasn’t freaked out by her. She was just ahead of her time....

Phosphorescent eyes watched the manor before her as she sat in a nearby tree. She knew that devilish butler will come out soon enough, most likely to shoo her off. But she needed his assistance. Who else may be able to answer her question if not for a who-knows-how-old demon?

Eras

Several Eras have been determined to have happened before the fracturing. Including the Entity Era , Earth-an Era , Titanic Era , Mortal Era , and the current Fractured era.

Entity Era

The first true era of Amyriad. It is mainly defined by the arrival and raising up of Entities and the first races, those entities created. Like Humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, etc. Those entities include Gods, Primordials, And those rivaling demigods.

This era ended when Likchene rose to godhood and Lichdom and let in the Old Ones. Which transitioned Amyriad to the second or Earth-an Era.

Judge

The judge of a deity is a judge, jury, and if needed executioner of their sworn deity. Occasionally called a cleric. They can take on a variety of roles all depending on what their deity represents.

Wargs

Wargs are genetically mutated wolves, the result of grotesque experimentation by the Hertsplicers. These creatures possess the blistering speed of a diving raptor, the raw physical power of a fully grown Orcane, and the fractured, violent mind of a deranged predator. They survive not through strategy or cooperation, but through overwhelming brutality.

Their bodies are warped for combat—overdeveloped musculature, reinforced bone structures, and predatory reflexes pushed beyond natural limits. Mentally unstable and driven by constant aggression, Wargs are incapable of coexistence and respond to nearly all stimuli with violence.

Orcane will occasionally attempt to capture or tame these monsters, viewing them as potential living weapons. Such encounters almost always end in mutual slaughter, as Wargs refuse submission and fight until either they or their would-be masters are dead.

For most civilizations, Wargs represent a persistent and uncontrollable threat. They flourish in the wilds, carving out bloody territories that they defend with relentless ferocity. Any creature—humanoid or beast—that enters a Warg’s perceived domain is treated as prey or a rival, and is attacked without hesitation. Resulting in something’s death.

Squiggles

Small fluffy balls of fur with 4 legs. No ones sure what they look like cause every time they’ve been shaved their hair rapidly grows back to the original size. Plus no one seems to want to put this cute creatures under duress.

Many people have used these majestic beings as pets in the past and have noticed that while they get water from splashing around in it, not a single person has seen them eat anything.

Shade Ferries

Angels of shadows and the Shadow Queens personal Angelica. These beings watch over mortals and upon their mortals death transport them to the Umberveil to be judged by Hades.

It is said that a Shade Ferri is created upon each mortals birth, and remains with them until death as a personal angel. In some cultures when surviving an unfortunate event or narrowly missing danger, it is expected to turn to your shadow and thank it for watching over you.

Shams

Shams are among the most feared ambush predators of the Hallowdeep, and their true origin remains unknown. Scholars debate whether they are Hollowdeep natives, ancient Void-touched creatures, or the byproduct of some lost subterranean corruption. What is known is that they are patient, silent, and terrifyingly adaptive.

A Sham’s body is a mass of flexible flesh and cartilage that can reshape itself into the form of any object it has seen—stone pillars, crates, broken weapons, stalagmites, abandoned tools, even small shrines. Their camouflage is almost perfect, able to mimic texture, weight, and fine details with unnerving precision.

Shams are capable of remaining perfectly motionless for days or even weeks, waiting for prey to wander within reach. When the moment comes, they strike with astonishing speed, lashing out with one of their many hidden tentacles. Each tentacle ends in a hooked stinger capable of delivering a potent paralyzing venom. Once its victim collapses, the Sham drags the prey into its maw to feed in complete silence.

Most encountered Shams mimic objects in the 3–5 foot range, such as boulders or crates. However, explorers of the deeper levels of the Hallowdeep have reported Sham “objects” the size of Arkells—massive, building-sized beings lying in wait like dormant caverns. Such accounts imply that Shams may have no upper limit to their growth, making them one of the most unpredictable threats below Amyriad.

Where there is shadow and stillness, a Sham may already be watching.

[universe-of-amyriad]

Amyriad is the universe in which the planes, ideas, and conflicts have never been closer. Including a rich history of several differing eras and a large setting full of differing deities, monsters, city's/ towns, planes, races, and cultures.

With the center of the world being Amyriad, a ring world, the crossroads of the greater universe.
