NAME PRONOUNCIATIONS
HAEMA
Greek root: αίμα
ha-ee'-ma; hee'-ma
APHESIS
Greek root: ἄφεσις
af'-es-is; af-ees'-is
AMARTEIN
Greek root: ἁμαρτία / ἁμαρτάνειν
ah'-mar-teen'
ADONTES
Greek root: ᾄδοντες
ah-don'-tees; ah'-thon-tes
WHAT'S THE SETTING?
Somewhere in between medieval and tudor times. It's fantasy, so there's no real place or time, but that's the aesthetic inspiration!
ARE THERE OTHER MYTHICAL CREATURES?
It's possible to imagine dragons existing, so maybe there are other things like manticores and gryphons. Haema is a demon vampyr, so by extension there are angels, too! Is it blasphemous to also call them mythical creatures? >:0a
THERE ARE DEMONS? ANGELS?
Demons have stalked the earth since the beginning times, friend. Angels do too, though they are not aware like their demon kin. In an effort to remain unbiased and ever loyal, angels on earth have no idea they are divine beings, but as they are pure and viceless, are expected to act accordingly!
IS THERE MAGIC?
Just healing magic - unicorn horns can heal wounds! Being able to heal has in turn made unicorns more resilient than humans would be, and less mortal.
WHY SO RELIGIOUS?
The setting is based off a deeply religious time in history - also, I found a lot of it intriguing and wanted to explore some themes and aesthetics that are close to me. Interpreting things through the lens of faith was the way of life back in the day, I wanted to revisit that feeling with a little twist...
