Sins of the Father

Tell my story? Now that\'s an idea.

I am called many things: the Lord of Souls, the Shadow of Death, the Undying Dreamer...

I sired the Awakened of old. I have turned beggars into kings and kings into legends. I have argued the nature of man with the fathers of philosophy and spoken of gratitude with the first Sage. Since the dawn of my existence, I have walked the path of power with regard for little else.

During the Great Trial, humanity\'s greatest hour of need, I dragged them from the jaws of their self-inflicted ruin for the sake of my beloved. Even now, few know the truth of it all. I am not a saint or a god. I am a watcher, a judge, a tormentor, and a killer.

I am the Father.

This is a cultivation story about an inhuman entity on its journey of power and self-discovery. The Father\'s story starts in ancient history and ends in a distant future but the majority of will take place in a near-future post-apocalypse setting.

That said, the Urban Fantasy and Post-Apocalypse tags will be hinted at but won\'t come into play until Advent 3.1: The Great Dream. They\'ll come fully online at the start of the 3rd arc or 4.1 (story isn\'t there yet).
