GODS OF ANIHLIUM
The world of Segris is ruinous and savage, with poisoned waters and terrible creatures lurking around every corner. However, amidst the cacophony of destruction and danger, life has found a way to continue under the brilliant churning auroras overhead. Small pockets of civilization exist in near isolation, fighting against the planet itself for limited resources and attempting to survive; others finding joy in mayhem and anarchy, spreading ruin wherever they turn.
In navigating the ceaseless gamble of life and death, Towa and his tattered pack of scholars, merchants, and bandits, explore the remains of massive cities, harsh and unforgiving deserts, and the shadowing swamps of Segris. The more they follow their own pursuits, the more they find themselves being thrust into the mystery of Towa’s past – known only to him by an unusual amulet. But as cruel and consuming winds blaze from the North, what would happen if you learned that pursuing the past just might send you on a collision course with the fate of the world?
As the questions stack up unanswered, Towa and his friends will have to turn to the lost history of Segris and the enigmatic stars to find what they have been searching for, all in the shadows of the ever-present moon, aNihlium.
Zero Overtone
Zero Overtone is a dyslexic alchemist of sound and dream, a stimulant for binary digits who revels in trees and textures; drawn to the future and the past as a singularity, searching for the foundations of humanity and what lies beyond.
In physical form, Zero finds joy in hiking, local breweries, live music, company and solitude, and holds a deep passion for both structure and improvisation. Overtone, however, is like an altered state scattered between dimensions. It dismantles visions, shatters spectrums, and fractures words – they all crash to a puddle of rainbow over dark slate eternity. A radiant seed falls, the pool ripples, and incongruent substance is drawn together like lights in a collapsing universe. Roots grow to the sky and the void becomes vivid.
With a preoccupation to understand the thread that resonates through all things, Zero Overtone strives to distill chaos into a fundamental tone. He invites us to reach into a profound existence that often endures in obscurity behind the collected grit of the machine; feel cascading revelations, see unique beauty within and around, and find that we’re all from the same star.
