[–] No.317808[Watch Thread]
so basically im not the best at writing, but i got good ideas and i wanna open this up so others can build and expand on this lore you see, just for context in lore in 2025 rifts opened up all across the world and demons invaded the earth to colonise it, and their parts are used in barter economy often, theres multiple kingdoms and the demon parts are very useful like bones can be sharpened into very sharp spears and swords which can penetrate the thick hides because many demons have thick guides, im thinking we call this lore the rifts from hell, or hell on earth and we make it like SCP or the backrooms so anyone can add to it and also you cannot usually kill demons with conventional weapons, some like zombies sure but other entities you need like anti tank guns and such, but almost every demon is killable, not always but many of them, after this i will post the document in a seperate post copy paste

Hell On Earth Lore Guide
Demon Types
Red Devils, you know them already
Hellhounds which are lead by a pack leader hellhound with 3 heads known as a cerberus (only king James has Ever tamed an entire hellhound pack plus a cerberus)
some hellhounds can be tamed like dogs, they vary in how docile they can be but nomads and hunters often use domesticated
The lich King, commander of the undead and the forces of this other dimension
Blood Cows or Red Cows, a demonic and threatening looking red cow with orange eyes, looking threatening but harmless, they are often milked their milk is a slightly redish white shade and tastes like goats milk, this can be made into dairy products like cheese and also blood cows hides are used for leather, for building pouches, rucksacks, leather belts, slings for guns etc etc, even sword holsters for demon bone swords
Zombies, these can range from stupid and slow to fast and smart, some can even use weapons like guns
Anomolous Phenomena
certain anomolies happen, like earthquakes and tsunamis of blood at random in rare circumstances, and also lava can pour out of rifts in extremely rare cases and essentially its like a volcano erupting, they say if you step on the obsidian after everything is gone or the vermiculite of the solidifed rocks, it is incredibly bad luck, theres lots of superstitions like this in the wasteland for various things, like if a demon attacks you first before you attack it, then its bad luck and means you will most likely not win this battle alive
The Economy
in the new world economy, alcohol is a rare treat and traded often, as are things such as DVD movies, Games or Pornography (You know how people are, and porn is like 90% of the internet traffic or something crazy), due to the fact there is no internet so PSPs for example are practically worth their weight in gold, old entertainment devices and such are worth a hell of a lot of money, as are old hard drives filled with data or media, and nomads need to share data to other kingdoms with CDs, DVDs or USBs, PCs and TVs or Moniters and other such devices are rare treats for the rich, like retired hunters for example, and if you find an old store with DVDs or something in thats practically a goldmine, piracy is rampant because laws don’t exist, any media is a rare commodity traded for even books
The 4th Kingdom
this kingdom was built on the old internet archive servers, has all their old hard drives and such and trades in data in the economy as i said before, they remain neutral in the war atleast for now, and later on this is the kingdom that develops the intranet it sells data from those servers to other communities and is neutral and not at war yet, they are mainly a knowledge based community and has scientists and stuff, they also sell a lot of older pirated games and such to all kingdoms
Or scans of old books, that kind of thing
Their economy is not built on demon parts, it's built on hot commodities, hot properties in the wasteland entertainment industry, like those PSPs I mentioned before, or DVDs, TVs, that kinda thing, maybe cars too I can picture many from this community being good mechanics too
Misc
the narrator is actually a nomad or a hunter for the 4th kingdom, he lied and said he is in a bunker to protect knowledge of the 4th kingdom existing, they stayed in the dark during the war because it was too dangerous, too hot so to speak
im thinking we do 13 episodes because the number 13 is unlucky and it makes sense considering this series is about demons, its a nice touch I feel
also king james relishes in the slave trade, as he is obviously a sadist
Maybe have a depiction of a movie night in this universe with a DVD player and an old projector and they are charging for a theatre basically, it would be quite light-hearted and wholesome and make for a nice change of pace from the 4th kingdom obviously, but only after they are revealed to exist

*shrugs*
I guess I could write a short story based on the thing you made as writing practice.
I have been a bit distracted with other projects so haven't been writing as much as I typically do.

>>317814never mind.
after finally sitting down to read your "lore dump" I can tell this is a poorly thought out half assed daydream that you expect someone else to flesh out.
Also
>the narrator isNigga, you ain't wrote anything yet, what the fuck do you mean the narrator?
>im thinking we do 13 episodesI'm thinking you are delutional.
13 episodes of what?
Who is this "we" you speak of.
Rather than be totally critical I will offer some well intentioned advice at this point.
Actually try to write a full story of some sort set in the world.
One with a solid beginning, middle, and end. Be it a short story, a novella, or script. As long as it's a full story that is long enough that it forces you to mentally flesh out the world from at least one charicter's POV.
This will dramatically improve your world building and create a foundation for others build off of.
Right now you don't have lore.
You have a loose undeveloped scattering of ideas.
