Tomebound

A grimdark fantasy survival story. Beware the tags. Grimdark, Graphic Violence and Sensitive Content are there for a reason. The great trial draws near. Prepare yourself. The shelter of the old world will fail.The walls you inherit will not hold.The engines you trust will fall silent.The roads will break. The lights will die. The voices between distant places will be cut.What has been gathered will be scattered. What has been ruled will be hunted. When the great trial begins, mankind will not be spared because it is gentle, nor preserved because it remembers what it once built.It will endure only where it learns, where it binds itself to necessity, and where it masters the tools placed within its reach. Gather, but know the cost of gathering.Build, but know the price of being seen.Keep the fire, but know what the fire calls from the dark. If you survive, you will not survive unchanged.If mankind endures, it will endure by scar, by labor, by discipline, and by the hard wisdom bought in loss.From ruin, new foundations may yet be laid. But they will not be laid by the fearful, the idle, or the blind. Stand through the breaking. Learn through the hunger. Make through the want. Defend what can be kept.No better world will be given. If there is to be one, it must be built upon the broken carcass of the old.So go forth, mankind. Be hard. Endure. Survive. And know this: while breath remains, the way is not yet closed. -- Warning sections of the Tome
