This place was never meant to hold a single story. It was built as a crossroads where every fragment of creation could finally stand together. From the heavy songs meant to scream out my inner wounds to the chronicles of a world whispering on the brink of its end, everything will be gathered here behind the same veil.
The Vain and Hopeless archives contain nothing but expired things, and I have charged the old keepers, wardens of these realms, with a single mandate: catalogue what was made, preserve what was dreamed, and open the right door when a wanderer arrives.
Where Creation Resides
The discography of a dead band
Music by Ashes Head
What began with a heavy metal band fifteen years ago was written and recorded in solitude, becoming the melancholic and twisted spine that supports the skull. Through folk arpeggios and distorted riffs alike echo the tales of a fallen angel searching for his identity in a Manichaean world, where he encounters figures who mirror fragments of his own soul.
Beyond the veil lies another world where magic lingers in its final breath, a land of dying kingdoms and forgotten gods where the arrival of wanderers from beyond the threshold stirs ancient prophecies into motion. None of these stories were ever meant to persist, for they all attempt to alter Fate itself; and yet it appears that we have found a way to let them unfold into reality.
If you seek something tangible to carry a piece of the veil back into the world, you may visit the Cabinet of Curiosities. Each artefact these realms ever created is gathered here by the inquisitive hands of the Collector. Some of them are unique pieces, and it may take years for missing items to find their way back to the store.
