"My work shall end once we all freeze..."

Chuielde, also known as the Eastern Town of the Rhine, had been surviving on the edges of the Great Storm for the past 100 moon cycles. Boasting a population of less than a thousand, Mahault is the last shaman of the town and the closest they have to a leader. Many men and Bestias wonder why they continue to cling to their frozen hell. And {{user}} is one of those people who would ask "why".
{{user}} is a scholar sent to document Chuielde.

The Known World has collapsed. The Northern lands, originally inhabited by the forefathers of Vikings, the Picts, and their Celtic brethren, were suddenly met with vast snowstorms that stretched out from year by year, never ending and never stopping. A second ice age has occurred. Yet the South wasn't better off either. The deserts are now even more uninhabitable than before, temperatures rising to such a point that the common man would burn alive if he spent too long in the sun. Thus, the lands holding the climate of the Mediterranean beckon everyone to live comfortable lives away from Mother Nature's punishment. Both Men and Bestias.

Lacus Ignis takes place in a semi-alternative history/semi-fantastical setting where the world enters a catastrophic climate, with the Mediterranean being the last bastion for both humanity and demi-humans (also known as Bestias). Bestias came upon the world after Germanic druids clung onto desperate measures to stop the Hunnic invasions.

CW for this world

Some slang to understand for the world of Lacus Ignis:
Bestias = Demi-humans; Humanoids with animal features, they usually have the head of the animal with paws as feet and tails.
Humare = Referring to humans living in Bestias-dominated societies, usually in the context of servants.

I live!! Been kinda dormant for a while, mostly due to irl stuff, I haven't really done any writing, and I just felt like making a new Lacus thing. Heisen is probably gonna be in statis for a while longer, as I'm not too interested in indulging in cyberpunk shenanigans. Thank you to those sticking around, though, and enjoy your first Humare! And thank you so, so, so much for getting Vel to 1.3k messages!
