from "Project: Black Plague (3)"

yes, this is in some ways a portent of things soon to come to this 'sphere

The original story derived from the novel "ivanhoe", but i push the time to 16 century europe with black plague. This project contains 7 pieces, will update regularly. The overall tone of this project is dark realistic fantasy, so you won't see something over the top. Nevertheless, using 7 pieces to show an ip and world setting is very challenging, so i will focus on the specific events and story telling during that special period. Since population reduce drastically, the church no longer has enough space to bury the dead, they start using the human skeleton as part of the church decoration, can refer to the Sedlec Ossuary bone church.
