Originally written as a Nobilis 3e (transitioning to early 4e) play-by-post, the story is about an artistically focused group of Nobles who work as security for a nightclub in Miami. The story is themed around the faction of the Dark and chronicles the godly battles between the protectors of reality and the vicious excrucians who wish to destroy it. There is a blend of urban fantasy action, godly politics, awkward dark humor, and neo-noir. Some out-of-character notes from the 'game' will be included due to the nature of the roleplaying game blending with the story, so there is a small degree of game-lit involved.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 5–9 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
