The world
The world you know is a lie. Not a conspiracy. A spell.
There is an enchantment over everything, and it has been there long enough that nobody alive remembers it going up. It keeps the awakened and the unawakened in separate rooms of the same house. It is the reason you can walk past something with too many joints and think nothing of it.
It is also failing.
Where it thins, the Mist comes through, and what the Mist does to a city is not fog and atmosphere. It is a door held open. The things on the other side have been waiting a long time and they are not patient by nature, only by circumstance.
Seven books sit in this world. Three in the present day, in a Portland, Maine that looks exactly like the real one until it does not. Three more run backwards across four hundred years to explain how the man at the centre of it got that way. One novella stands off to the side with a war goddess in it.
Who you will meet
The Baku
Came to Portland to be nobody. Her blood eats nightmares, which is not a thing you get to opt out of. An arch demon has her name and the mark under her skin will not wash off.
The Infernal Games · Dirge of the Dead · Beyond the Mist: Dark Messiah
The Necromancer
A thousand years old and the last Knight Templar. He eats the flesh of the dead, and the souls he takes surface as faces in the living tattoos on his arms. They move.
The One Who Said Yes
Xlina’s closest friend, and the one an arch demon found easiest to reach. What she traded for, and what it cost the pair of them, is the spine of the trilogy.
You can also play in it
The Baku-verse is now a tabletop roleplaying game. Same world, same rules about what the Mist does, a character sheet instead of a protagonist.
