Display a printable version Vorare Archives 2006 - Revelations Malesuada fames. -- Virgil, the Aeniad. Vorare is a world of horrific appetites, not far removed from our own modern day. Men and women go about their days only half-aware of an empty dissatisfaction with their lives and their world, a gnawing sense that there must be more - a void which empty consumption merely quiets, never truly satisfying that nameless need which soils at the base of their souls. Yet some few are aware. They have stepped beyond the pale to see the truth of both their hunger and its inevitable fulfillment: Power. Satiety. Completion. Godhead. These are the gentleman ghouls of Vorare, the feeders upon flesh. Our stories follow one man and his lineage into the path of utter damnation and horrible redemption - the quest to destroy the gentleman ghouls. His life will change, and his sacrifice will change Vorare ... the world beneath our own. Hunger is wider than the world and more powerful than heaven. What would man not do in service to its terrifying glory? 01 - Holy Night
Hunger is the prayer wheel on which the world turns, a drone which has echoed through all living things since the very birth of time. Hunger has driven tribes and destroyed civilizations. Every desire, every wish, every drive of man is inspired and informed by the wildfire force which grows in heat even as it should be sated, burning through that which feeds it and lifting the soul from dark ashes to blazing inspiration. Hunger is time and motion, inspiration and entropy. Hunger lies forever gnawing at the very roots of the world. Gordon Velander has parted the veil that lies beneath the flesh, has torn the curtain with tooth and blade and danced beyond the pale. Against his will he ate the fruits of knowledge, by his own hand he took up the bones which reveal the secrets of the universe. He has returned to the world as wind-walker and wound-speaker, a sacrifical ram unmoved by mortal hunger. Vorare drives him to acts unspeakable and sublime in its service, a service he has only just begun to understand ... Year One of Vorare followed Gordon's initiation and self-destruction. Year Two explores his rebirth and reintegration into a world turned alien as he attempts to set to rights the cycle which brought him such horror and suffering - dealing with the world-turning consequences of his earlier actions and with those who forced said actions upon him. 13 - Catching the Sunglight 2008 - Retributions 25 - Missives Photo by Ivan Ewert, copyright 2006 |
