What If Your City Turned Dark Fantasy?

Hello readers, and welcome to the next post in my ‘Dark City’ series. This week re-imagines what New York would look like in a Dark Fantasy setting.

A dark fantasy rendition of New York City. The full moon hangs behind the black clouds in a red sky. Glowing sigils adorn the buildings behind the bridge that spans the river, and foul creatures lurk on the rooftops.

Some questions for you to ponder over while you enjoy this latest rendition…

When the Fog rolls down Fifth Avenue, which towers vanish first into its hungry veil?

What whispers echo from the runes carved into the Empire State Building’s spire — are they warnings, or invitations?

Beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, what creatures barter in the dark for the souls of those who cross after midnight?

What ancient covenant binds the gargoyles of St. Patrick’s Cathedral to the city’s protection — and what happens when it’s broken?

When the moon turns green above Central Park, what spectral procession marches through the trees, unseen by mortal eyes?

If you want to find out which city will be entering the shadows next week, you know where to come.

Until then,

Happy reading!

Fantasy Weapon of the Week.

A dark fantasy style Scimitar lying on a cracked stone floor. Runes burn red along the dark metal blade, as it curves to towards its pointed tip. The guard akin to the set it hails from; a grinning skull with glowing red eyes, flanked by spikey wings. Leather-bound handle capped in a curved, metal pommel.  A caption reads 'Serpent of the night. Dancer of death. Thirsts for the soul'.

This deliciously dark scimitar is crying out for your attention. Fifth in a series of concept art images from my collection of cursed weapons forged by a dark lord. This week’s weapon; a curved sword that delights in the sorrow of the dead. A collector of souls with a thirst for blood.

What would you name this weapon?
