The Shaman
First Post
What you're describing is, right now, in this world, science fiction - it may not be strictly supernatural, but it is, at best, tenuously natural. Weird science which may or may not be possible in fifty or a hundred or ten thousand years don't really match up with the sort of mundane, plausible horrors one might find in a world more like our own than not.*snip*
The encounter I referred to earlier, the one that gives me the willies thinking about it? It's a group of mercenaries returning from the Thirty Years War.War.
I distilled the horrors of the war into these men, made them physical embodiments of the depravity.
They call themselves The Dead (Les Morts).
I was inspired by the lyric, "No-one move a muscle as the dead come home," from Shriekback's "Nemesis."
