@@abelbabel8484 What I also dislike is evil factions having absolutely no development on normal civilian life and how people actually live and procreate within this system, it’s something I’ve thought about extensively in my own setting, because even the most evil system must allow for the barest necessities like food, water, socialisation, entertainment etc. according to what precious little we know of the Heretics, we know that they sell human flesh in markets which implies at least a basic system of trade and economics. What do they eat? Where do they get the food? How do they maintain food supplies? Does property exist? Can an individual own property? Can an individual advance within this system and if they can, how? What do you get paid in? Can an individual find a person they love within this system? There *must* be some notion of reward in this system for the Heretics which is support as it’s implied that there is a deeper ideological reason to them being Heretics, rebellion against the ‘Tyrant-God’. Heresy implies individual initiative, otherwise they’d simply be uninteresting brainwashed slaves.

I'm not sure the Americas have been discovered by Europeans in this world (the lore does seem to specify a time when the heretics took Gibraltar and gained access to the Atlantic, though). There are some ideas of war and religion being intertwined that are found in more than a few New world cultures that could be very interesting here. I'm imagining the Sardaukar scene from Dune but with Jaguar warriors being annointed with Heretic blood. Apocalyptic plains Indians cults from later on in our history, such as the ghost dance, would be very interesting too. As for Asia, Mongols would be very interesting for the same reasons

TRENCH CRUSADE NEEDS BOOKS ASAP 😤

Great video!

I have just recently discovered this game/ artwork and it’s right up my alley. I’m not sure if anyone here in the comments has ever encountered it before, but Wayne Barlowe’s “Hell” artworks would go hand in hand with this. He’s a well known and respected concept artist for movies and such, having provided art for the first and second Hellboy movies (among others), and the first thing I remember seeing of his back when I was a kid in the 1980s was “Barlowe’s Guide To Extraterrestrials”, which included a lot of Lovecraft’s creations. Within the last couple of decades, he created a series of amazing paintings featuring Demons, Damned Souls, Warmachines, and Architecture/ Terrain for his vision of Hell, and wrote a companion novel about the war in Hell called “God’s Demon”. The books that contain his paintings are prohibitively expensive, and I only own a copy of the novel (which is fantastic, by the way). However, you can view his art on his website, and judge it for yourself- but I’m betting that if you like this stuff, you’ll enjoy his as well. Anyway- sorry for the long comment, but I felt really lucky in finding this world, and so wanted to pass it on and share the wealth with his artwork if anyone’s interested.
