The Realm of Dead Gods and Forgotten Nightmares, normally abbreviated to the Realm of Dead Gods or just RODG, is a science-fiction post-post-apocalyptic universe initially (and primarily) inspired by the lovely Caretaker's Amber Skies. (which is now complete!) I have since gathered more inspirations, like David Armsby's Autodale, the video game Rain World, the short story Sonnie's Edge, and even some broad worldbuilding notes from Dark Souls.

It is a world of ends. Of worlds built over and over and over eachother, until it is no longer meaningful to distinguish between ground and roof. It is a world where apocalypses have became so commonplace as to be simply another cycle.

Water moves from ocean to sky to land to ocean; carbon passes between the ground, the land, the sky, and plants and animals and whatever else may be considered alive; and every few centuries the land and air become too hostile to the current inhabitants, and new creatures arise to take their place.

It is a world of ends, of rot and decay and death, but it is also of resilience, of green as the color of hope. Hope in an affirmative indicator light, hope in oxidized copper, hope in one-third an RGB display.

if you're seeing this than you've stumbled across my humble little overambitious writing blog. this post contains a masterlist of links to universe explanations, and will be updated to reflect the worlds i have going already.

in no particular order. in parenthesis is universe type and the tag that represents it

atheria (high fantasy, #atheria)

realm of dead gods (post-apocalypse, #rodg)

shattered plains, salted earth (post-apocalypse, #spse)

anything marked with [WN] is named only temporarily; tags will be updated when i find a suitable proper name for them

also occasionally have writing or thoughts based in the universe of the dragonback novels by timothy zahn but it's not my own universe so it's not in the list
