The Legendarium

The World of Blood Red Dreaming is sustained by stories told about it. You will find those stories here in the Legendarium!

These stories serve a function. The stories here exist to encrypt and compress the ideology and systems of the Free Path into an easily transmissible and highly memorable format. These are the methods of cultural transmission used since the dawn of human culture. It is these sorts of techniques allowed Judaism to survive the diaspora when most other displaced cultures disappeared after being displaced. It is these techniques that spread Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam across the globe. It is these techniques that colonial empires sought to destroy with residential school systems and the systematic destruction of language and written documents. These are the core of a culture. They are the seed.

All of these stories are in the public domain, as previously mentioned. You may use and reproduce these as you see fit. We would appreciate if you gave credit, and would appreciate even more if you linked back to us here. But either way, we trust you. Have fun and make good art.

The Adventures of Professor Freeman Harbinger

Pure propaganda and autohagiography; this is the story of Professor Harbinger- GLORIOUS LEADER, HERO OF THE LIBERATION, BRINGER OF THE REVELATION! Do not mistake truth for fact. This is a fiction suit, an archetype worn by all of us when we need it. Learn the mythology so that you may put it on when the need arises. We must all be the hero. Time for a little protagonisting.

The story contained gods and monsters, heroes and villains, storytellers and all of the readers and listeners who ever read or heard the story. The story was the universe to those who knew it, the guide to those who walked it, and the way out of the Ten Thousand Years of Darkness. Do you know the story of the Firebird in the Darkness?
