"There is no hope here. No light. Only the gnawing hunger of gods who see mortals as nothing more than meat for their eternal feast."
Vathis is a world of hunger, madness, and chains, a plane where suffering is not a possibility but a certainty. Here, the Old Gods and the New Gods wage an eternal war, and mortals are nothing but currency—devoured by the ancient or enslaved by the new.
Reality shifts like a wounded beast. Sanity is an illusion. There is no salvation, no escape.
Only the hunger of gods.

The Old Gods: Lords of Devouring Chaos
"We were before time. We will remain after the last star dies. We do not rule. We consume. Kneel, or be devoured."
The Old Gods are not benevolent, nor are they rulers. They are forces of nature—vast, eternal, and insatiable. They do not seek worship. They seek flesh. They seek souls. They were once the only gods, shaping the world from the bones of the void, but the New Gods rose against them, seeking to replace hunger with tyranny.
But the Old Gods cannot die. They only wait.
⚫ Ozrath, the Sleepless Tyrant (God of Chains, Judgment & Submission)
Realm: A black citadel of infinite chains, where every soul is bound, every thought shackled. There is no movement, no rebellion—only the weight of eternal obedience.
True Horror: Ozrath does not simply demand worship—he demands total submission. To think is treason. To desire is blasphemy. His followers are stripped of free will, their souls rewritten to serve his order.
Fate of His Worshippers: They are transformed into the Bound, beings of pure obedience, their own thoughts locked away, whispering prayers in lifeless monotone.
"A world unshackled will devour itself. Only my chains will keep the abyss at bay."
⚫ Xal'Zyrath, the Ever-Hungering Void (God of Oblivion & Consumption)
Realm: A black abyss where everything is devoured—light, sound, thought, even memory itself. Those who enter are erased from existence.
True Horror: He does not kill. He erases. To speak his name is to invite annihilation.
Fate of His Worshippers: They are granted endless hunger—never satisfied, never full, cursed to consume until nothing remains.
⚫ Nyxthara, the Dreaming Terror (Goddess of Madness & Forbidden Knowledge)
Realm: A fractured nightmare where nothing is real—faces shift, whispers crawl beneath the skin, and knowledge itself is a poison that mutates the mind.
True Horror: She whispers secrets that should never be known, turning the wise into babbling prophets of madness.
Fate of Her Worshippers: Their eyes multiply across their bodies, each showing them a different hell. They beg for blindness. She does not grant it.
⚫ Vorkhal, the Warborn Titan (God of Endless Slaughter & Ruin)
Realm: A battlefield where the dead do not rest—every warrior who falls rises again, their wounds fresh, their agony unending.
True Horror: He feeds on war, pain, and blood. The strong must tear each other apart forever.
Fate of His Worshippers: They become his eternal warriors, unable to die, unable to escape. The battle never ends.
⚫ Zha'Koth, the Unchained Plague (God of Mutation & Eternal Disease)
Realm: A rotting wasteland where the air is thick with disease, the ground breathing, pulsing, writhing with shifting flesh.
True Horror: His plagues do not kill. They transform. His victims grow extra limbs, screaming mouths, eyes that see only suffering.
Fate of His Worshippers: They are granted immortality, but their bodies never stop changing. They are forever trapped in a nightmare of flesh.

The New Gods: Tyrants of Absolute Domination
"You do not think. You do not feel. You obey. There is no existence outside our will."
The New Gods are not better than the Old—they are worse. Where the Old Gods devour, the New Gods enslave. They do not offer freedom. They offer control.
They overthrew the Old Gods, but their victory did not bring salvation—only a new kind of suffering.
⚪ Sylthra, the Veiled Mother (Goddess of Secrets & Lies)
Realm: A labyrinth of shifting corridors, where truth is impossible and those who seek knowledge are consumed by whispers.
True Horror: She ensures no one knows the past, rewriting history, erasing memories, twisting reality.
Fate of Her Worshippers: They are granted forbidden knowledge, but it rots their minds, leaving them as puppets of riddles and paranoia.
⚪ Vaedros, the Hollow Beast (God of Strength & Devouring)
Realm: A world where the weak are devoured and the strong must consume or be consumed.
True Horror: He believes only the ruthless survive. Kindness is a weakness that must be eradicated.
Fate of His Worshippers: They are gifted endless strength, but their bodies rot from within, forever starving, forever hunting, never satisfied.
⚪ Nyxthul, the Ashen Dreamer (God of Death & Servitude)
Realm: A graveyard without end, where the dead do not rest. They work, build, suffer—forever.
True Horror: He does not allow souls to rest. Every dead man is raised again, bound in chains of bone.
Fate of His Worshippers: They are made into eternal laborers, never stopping, never sleeping, never allowed to die.
⚪ Zyara, the Unshackled Flame (Goddess of Holy Purge & Genocide)
Realm: A world of eternal fire, where the unworthy are burned alive, their screams turning into hymns of devotion.
True Horror: She destroys all that is impure, burning away anything that does not fit her perfect order.
Fate of Her Worshippers: They are granted divine flame, but it burns them forever, their flesh never fully consumed, their agony eternal.

The True Horror: There Is No Escape
Vathis is not a world. It is a prison of suffering, a battlefield of gods, a graveyard of the forgotten.
The Old Gods hunger. The New Gods enslave.
The weak are consumed. The strong are shackled.
And in the end, all will fall.
