I want more Ancient Beast lore! Either some “creation myth” type of stories. Like what other beasts bring to the world and if they are still “around” so to speak. Or if there are other specific believers/cults that might show up (or have in the past, for good or evil like the TBB worshippers). Also, are there any parts of the main storyline that you haven’t revealed yet, or any ideas that have come to you recently?
the world was created by four original ancient beasts, two in which being the sentinel and the artist who served two very important (and very different) purposes. the other two have yet to be determined or named yet but i’d love to see or hear some ideas from anyone who had them!
but the sentinel is known for its looking glass from on high, scrolling it with its large talons and peering down upon the world with keen eyes. it watches the first mortals in their creation, observes how they interact with one another and what dangers stalk them in the dark. the world they created among the cosmos was not one to be soft or gentle but one to house reflections of themselves -- monsters, creatures, those with teeth and claw. despite their less outwardly terrifying vessels, mortals with their own monsters had just as much potential to be ruthless.
the artist meanwhile was known for creating the blueprints for the first mortals and vessels that were seamless. it was able to create an undamaged and unaltered “container” for powerful and brand new creatures formed out of the ether by its hands. each new monster and vessel is one it would see with its own attention, crafting each with love and attention before casting it down to the mortal realm. like every ancient beast, they all have their role and specific place that no other in the pantheon serves, making them all necessary in their own way.
all of them are still around in regards to the storyline of the au, simply hiding and not directly interacting like they used to.
each ancient beast has their own line of worshippers or sometimes extremist cults. many have one of the pantheon that they believe in their patron god and specifically pray or worship to them more than the rest. some are more subtle, simply doing a prayer when they wake up or before bed -- while others have committed horrible or terrifying acts under wrong pretenses. there is no distinguished way to worship but the world leaves little room for speculation. the ancient beasts are very much real -- or were -- and they’re somewhere still watching from afar
and definitely! it’s a lot of stuff that had to do with bebe and pete’s interactions, more details on the interactions between andy’s network and the cobras, a whole lot of stuff between fob and brendon when they go to the ruins, and some true/other ending content
anything specific you wanted to hear about?
