(This was written before the previous post guys <3) I FINALLY FINALLY NAMED THAT HORROR MYSTERY DETECTIVE STORY IDEA I BRIEFLY MENTIONED
ITS CALLED VAEH’S DETECTIVE
and to explain WHAT that first word means,,
i have to explain the lore :)
so lets do this in a timeline format, HHEHEHEHEHE pkay but first, little note:
VAEH’S DETECTIVE is a horror/mystery story-world that explores darker themes than what I usually work with (Obssession, Cults, the Mentality behind Murder). It is mostly experimental and NONE of the characters are meant to be good people, they are not meant to be examples of good people, and their actions probably shouldn’t be treated as such. (This is a world where the idea of “good” has corroded)
Initially tending just to be a slasher, it has grown into much more.
OKAY
also my timeline skills suck. and this is not accurate to the real world.

—————————————————
Cough okay anyways so, everything you just read is from the POV of the people.
What actually happened?:
The Volcano (Vaeh’or) erupted, its vibrations causing crystals found inside the nearby mine to shatter and break. These crystals of which were hollow and actually carrying an ancient symbiotic disease of sorts. One that alters the hosts body to prevent it from injury/keep it alive.
The symbiotic disease thing whatever it may be alters the body of animals and humans based off instinct, however due to humans’ needs and wants being hard to differentiate its grown confused.
People(criminals) have found that they can essentially condition their minds to form different mutations on injury.
The symbiote has caused major changes in many species of animals, significantly Elk.
Words here??
Vaeh’or - The volcano
Vaeh’orjvus - The god assosciated (their image has changed drastically as they’re assumed to be the cause of the mutations.)
Vaeh’s Affect - The altercations caused by the symbiotic species
Vaehian - The religion of the volcano god (Vaeh’orjvus)
Haxsane (Test) - The test to determine mental state and vulnerability to Vaeh’s affect.
Haxsane Number - Your rating on the test, this will identify you and follow for the rest of your life.
