Where the old gods went to be forgotten.

post-myth fantasy · mythic era · year 1

A world after the age of myths: the great pantheons have faded, and the surviving small gods live quietly among mortals — river spirits tending ferries, harvest gods keeping allotments, a goddess of earth and water splashing in the shallows of memory.

The story of Aftermyth

Belief is water here: gods wax and wane with remembering. Shrines are bus stops, offerings are habits. The last myths argue about whether to be remembered or to finally rest.

Places

  • Aftermyth · continent. The temperate, rolling landscape left behind after the withdrawal of the celestial tides.
  • The Winding Valleys · region. A network of lush valleys characterized by ferry crossings managed by river spirits.
  • The Golden Plains · region. Vast fields of grain where harvest gods live in small allotments and teach peasants how to sow.
