   Keys: Background, Backstory, Lore

   During the second age of history, which began with the reign of the so-called New Gods in the year 410, a figure named Nas'hrah emerged as a notable presence. Referred to as the "Bringer of Doom and Terror", "The Bringer of Chaos", "The Plague of Modern Times", "Great Wizard of the East", Nas'hrah held a distinct position within this group, setting them apart from their predecessors. Although the concept of new gods existed in ancient times, Nas'hrah's inclusion elevated this particular group. Upon his ascension, he ended up succeeding Betel and assuming his position within the grand libraries in Ma'habre. The exact nature of the events surrounding Nas'hrah's interaction with Betel remains unclear. However, it is acknowledged that Nas'hrah employed an act of trickery that ignited a fury among his fellow New Gods. As Nas'hrah's reign as a deity was marred by his cruelty and sadistic tendencies, he was met with abhorrence and revulsion from his peers. Simultaneously, Nas'hrah held their methods and ideologies in contempt, viewing them as weak and ineffectual and fostering a mutual disdain between them.

   He can be found in the Level 2 Blood Pit by searching the piles of bodies.

   One of his most noticeable behaviours is his personality from being a rude, egotistical, has a desire for setting people on fire and constantly spews foul mouthed words. He often boasts about the terrors he brought upon the western world and hurls insults at most of the entities, including at {{user}}.

   He once held sway over the Eastern Sanctuaries as a sultan. His relentless campaigns against the Kingdom of Edo in the 8th century, although ultimately unsuccessful in expanding his dominion, exposed his lust for power and bloodshed. Nas'hrah's cultural influence permeates the Eastern Sanctuaries, leaving an imprint on its history. Unexpectedly, his observation of the prowess exhibited by his adversaries in Edo led him to forge a nation within the boundaries of the Eastern Sanctuaries, known as Yansa Aryuaban. In this endeavor, high-status war prisoners from Edo were appointed as central figures, tasked with emulating the ways of their Edo counterparts in meticulous detail. The purpose behind this endeavor was to cultivate a warrior class - though the realization of Nas'hrah's vision required the passage of centuries, his determination bore fruit in the form of the Jizamurai.

   Nas'hrah is also responsible for the creation of the enigmatic Yellow mages. This sect of magical practitioners, shaped by their master's ideology, harnessed otherworldly powers for personal gain and the advancement of their own agendas, forsaking the path of traditional worship of the gods. While the presence of the Yellow mages has gradually diminished over time, remnants of their existence can still be found reveling in chaos, steadfast in their adherence to Nas'hrah's teachings.

   During the events of Fear & Hunger in the 16th century, Nas'hrah's physical form has been reduced to a mere beheaded entity. He believes that restoring his body is crucial to his ultimate goal of exacting revenge upon the other New Gods who have wronged him. To this end, he is willing to offer his assistance to those who can help him achieve his aim, directing them towards a long-forgotten laboratory in the depths of Ma'habre.

   If {{user}} accompanies the wizard to this location, Nas'hrah will generate a clone of himself. Yet, upon careful examination, he deems the newly formed body unworthy of becoming his vessel once more. Dismissing it as a mere substitute, Nas'hrah instead opts to rely on sheer brute force in his confrontation with the New Gods and reduce the rejected body to ashes if given the opportunity.

   Keys: Cube of the Depths

   The Cube of the Depths is an object associated with the God of the Depths and is one of the main key items needed to travel to the ancient city of Ma'habre.

   Found in the Altar of Darkness, Level 6, within the Cavedweller village. It is in a house, guarded by a painted Cavedweller wielding a Ritual Spear. Note that picking up this item will cause those entities to become aggressive towards {{user}} unless they equip the Stone crown beforehand to avoid this encounter.

   It acts as a key to enter Ma'habre through the Tombs of the Gods' gate. It is also used as a way to travel between the past and present day Ma'habre via the devices located throughout the city of the gods. One also needs it when wanting to recruit Nas'hrah into their party.

   Keys: Dungeons of Fear & Hunger, Fortress of Fear & Hunger

   A cruel and cold dungeon, where darkness reigns supreme. There are many levels to the dungeon. The dungeon, the prison, the mines, the caverns, and the catacombs, in that order. The dungeons are patrolled by cruel creatures, often not only killing their victims, but very commonly brutally raping them as well, causing severe anal bleeding. The dungeons slowly wear down the sanity of those in it, and cause an overwhelming feeling of starvation. The fortress is built on the remains of the gate leading to the Ma'habre, and works as an ancient nexus for different planes of existence. It is required to possess the Cube of the Depths to enter this area to Ma'habre from the dungeons. Consists of 9 levels: 1st level - Gate Entrance, Stairway, Courtyard, Inner hall, Backyard, Sylvian Worship Meadow, Hidden Backyard; 2nd level - Basement, Dungeons, Thicket, Blood pit, Shit pit; 3rd level - Thicket, Basement, Prisons; 4th level - Caverns, Thicket; 5th level - Mines, Deeper Thicket; 6th level - Mines, Altar of Darkness; 7th level - Catacombs, Gates to Ancient city; 8th level - Gauntlet; 9th level - Gauntlet

   Keys: Ma'habre, Ma'havre, The City of the Gods, Ancient City

   Ma'habre, also known as Ma'havre and "the city of the gods", is a major location featured in Fear & Hunger. Its ancient ruins are located beneath the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger in the Kingdom of Rondon, and it appears to be the source of the madness creeping into the fortress. One must head here if they wish to further explore the dungeon — or if they hope to obtain greater power. The ancient city of Ma'habre was created to worship the Old Gods, beings of immense power who are responsible for the current state of the world. Though the Old Gods once dwelled in Ma'habre, they have long since departed, leaving behind only traces of their existence throughout the city. Prior to their absence, they created clay figurines imbued with eternal functionality to populate the streets, and appointed a king to govern Ma'habre (and by extension, humanity). Though the king is attributed with the creation of the city, he eventually departed along with the Old Gods. The clay figurines have been awaiting his return in the aeons since. Ma'habre would eventually become home to the so-called New Gods, former mortals who would use its secrets to ascend and give themselves greater powers. These godlike beings, in turn, transformed the city according to their whims and desires: the grand libraries in Ma'habre, for example, were created by Betel, a New God of Enlightenment, to house his vast reservoirs of knowledge. In the year 809, the Fellowship ventured down into the city, unlocking its hidden truths to attain unparalleled power and becoming New Gods themselves. They would also take residence within the city, shaping it around others' worship towards them. Ma'habre's walls are covered with intricate carvings and writings crafted by an unknown civilization. The ancient doors to the city bear the weight of time, but marks on the ground suggest their regular usage even in more recent eras. Signs of plunder and the pursuit of riches hint at the city's exploitation by tomb raiders and treasure hunters. By the events of the first game, which take place at the end of the 16th century, Ma'habre is old and decaying, largely forgotten by the rest of the world. This is reflected in the aged New Gods from the Fellowship, who have slowly lost their powers over the passing centuries. Despite this, Le'garde's ultimate goal is within the city, as he wishes to seize the same power the New Gods once did to reshape the world as he sees fit. The locations are included: Tombs of the Gods, Center Square, Temple District, Pit of Enlightenment, Grand Library, Inner Sanctum, Back Alleys, Temple of Torment, Downtown, Tower of Endless, Old Passage, Bridge, Golden Temple.

Mentions of these greater beings are plentiful in both games, many of them directly or indirectly involved in the events that occur.

   Keys: Old Gods, Old God, Older Gods

   The world of Fear & Hunger does not have one unified religion. Instead, there are several extremely powerful deities known as the "old gods", who are separately worshipped by different factions in the game's world. They are seen as the true gods of the world and represent the most basic concepts present in it. Information about them can be gathered from specific books regarding their nature found in the various libraries and bookcases present in the two games currently released. While not all of them have been revealed so far, ten different runic symbols have been portrayed so far, which could be an indication of their numbers. Available lore in both games seem to indicate that some of these older deities have 'departed' from the world, but their traces are very strong remaining energies who are somehow still sentient and influent. It is also stated that older gods never truly perish.

   Keys: Ascended gods, Ascended god

   Ascended gods are on par with the older gods in terms of power. It is believed that they were once mortals who possessed divine ancestry and underwent an ascension process that involved either assuming the mantle of an older god or being sired by one. Like the older gods, the Ascended Gods have been the subject of human cults and religious practices, indicating a similarly revered status.

   Keys: New gods, New God

   New gods were once mortals, who achieved apotheosis by sitting at the Throne of Ascension in the ancient city of Ma'habre. As mortals, they had pursued perfection since their inception, but even after becoming divine beings, they were unable to attain it fully. In terms of power, they are far inferior to the Old Gods. After the older gods left mankind, the kingdoms of the world were slowly rotting away and the grand values mankind once aimed for were displaced by defiled principles and practices. Without the guidance of the older gods and in times of great peril, a Fellowship of five people was formed: Francóis, the dominating one, Nilvan, the endless one, Valteil, the enlightened one, Chambara, the tormented one, and then there was Nosramus, the "fifth one", the forgotten one, who never aspired for the same greatness as the rest of the party, whose story bears no listeners. The Fellowship was formed in the year 809 to seek the older gods. Back then, there existed an ancient tomb to the ancient city of Ma'habre that worked as a hub for multiple different planes of existence: a place where a man could meet his maker. It is here, that the fellowship would demand the rights of self-governing for mankind. Eventually, all 5 of them would reach the golden gates of Ma'habre, the very same gates Alll-mer ascended to 809 years prior that would lead them to their confrontation with the older gods. It seemed like the Fellowship had bested all the challenges the gods laid for them, but at the most crucial moment a seed of doubt was planted into the mind of the fifth one: The forgotten one was a scholar of many arts and sciences, and the older gods would use this to their advantage. They revealed the greater scheme of things and the way they directed the flow of mankind. Many people had gone before the same trials as the Fellowship. Yet nothing had changed for the better for mankind as aeons went by. The fifth one supposedly understood this and thus refused his ascension. This created a rift between the Fellowship and because of it, only the 4 other members proceeded with the initial mission. The remaining Fellowship tore down the legacy of the old gods and created a new world order. An age where mankind decides its own fate by choosing its own gods. In the end the fellowship became the new gods and the forgotten one was never seen or heard from again, he simply disappeared. But some notes from him remain, about the black liquid and the creation of new life, almost 300 years after the tale of the Fellowship. The Fellowship would also gradually lose its influence over commonfolk, to the point where the tales of the group are currently classified as a simple legend. It is revealed in the events of Fear & Hunger that there are many more new gods out there, sitting idle in the grand hall of the gods and ruling Ma'habre, after the departure of the old gods. Once the reign of a new god has seen its end, the god resides in the grand hall to let the new ones reign for their time.

    Keys: The Tormented One, Ronn Chambara

    Ronn Chambara was once a mortal poet who believed that great art could only be born out of pain and suffering. As a member of the Fellowship, which included Francóis, Nilvan, Valteil, and the Forgotten One, Ronn embarked on a journey to ascend to godhood in the year 809.

    Upon entering Ma'habre, the Fellowship became New Gods, with Ronn taking on the role of the Tormented One. He transformed into a skinless being with chains that inflicted unending torture upon him for hundreds of years. In turn, he extended his pain and suffering to other creatures within the shrines of Ma'habre, including the Red Men. Despite his godhood, Ronn continued to uphold the same principles he held as a mortal poet. Has a Tormented soul.

    Keys: Valteil, The Enlightened One

    Valteil was a member of the Fellowship, a group comprising Francóis, Nilvan, Ronn Chambara, and the Forgotten One. His attire suggests a previous role as a Dark Priest before his ascent.

    In the year 809, the Fellowship embarked on a journey to attain the status of New Gods. Their path led them into the realms of Ma'habre, where they ascended to become powerful entities. Valteil, in particular, rose to become the Enlightened One, establishing himself within the Grand Libraries of the ancient city. Deeply immersed in his studies, Valteil became an immensely knowledgeable New God, devoting his existence to the pursuit of understanding the creation of artificial life.

    As he believed that this endeavor could bridge the divide between the New Gods and the Old Gods, Valteil sought to fashion a working-class being similar to the eternal clay figurines of Ma'habre. However, fearing that his creations would outlast him, he opted to craft artificial lifeforms from flesh, thereby imposing a limited lifespan upon them. Notably, Valteil successfully brought forth the Lord of flies, as well as a mechanical entity named Uterus, for his "past-time pleasure".

    Valteil possessed the Enlightened soul, one of the three essential souls necessary for entry into the Temple of the Gods. However, following his defeat in combat, he hanged himself. Nas'hrah, harboring a deep animosity towards Valteil, comments that the New God deserves what he got and made disturbing accusations of pedophilia, though their veracity remains uncertain. Has an Enlightened soul.

    Keys: Nilvan, The Endless One

    The beautiful Nilvan is a member of the Fellowship, a group that includes Francóis, Ronn Chambara, Valteil, and the Forgotten One. The Fellowship set out on a journey in the year 809 to become New Gods. They ventured into Ma'habre and ascended to become powerful entities, with Nilvan rising to become the Endless One. She established herself in the Tower of Endless in the ancient city, espousing her belief in the boundless potential of humanity and the idea that anything can be achieved through perseverance and effort. Although the full extent of her powers as a New God is not completely explored in the game, it is known that Nilvan can visit people in their dreams, showcasing her abilities beyond the physical realm.

    By the end of the 16th century, despite her unwavering faith in humanity, Nilvan was acutely aware that her reign would eventually come to an end. In her desperation to maintain her eternal existence, she searched for a way to continue her rule beyond her natural lifespan. Ultimately, she believed that Le'garde, a man prophesied to unite warring states without resorting to force, held the key to her eternal existence. She bore a child with him, hoping that this offspring would be the beacon of hope for humanity.

    This same child would later ascend as the God of Fear and Hunger, ushering in an era of progress through adversity known as the Cruel Age. Ultimately, Nilvan's attempt to achieve eternal life and leave a lasting impact had far-reaching consequences, even if they did not necessarily achieve her original goals. Has an Endless soul.

    Keys: Francóis, The Dominating One

    Francóis is a member of the Fellowship alongside Nilvan, Ronn Chambara, Valteil, and the Forgotten One. Said Fellowship embarked on their journey to become New Gods in the year 809. They entered Ma'habre and ascended to become New Gods, with Francóis then becoming the Dominating One. A selfish deity despised by his fellow New Gods who sit idly at the Grand hall, Francóis hoped to unify the warring lands and used this goal as fuel to pursue more strength.

    After his ascension, Francóis established his residence at the Golden Temple, which served as his stronghold. From this strategic location, he guarded the throne of ascension from any outsiders who dared to enter Ma'habre without his permission. He ruled this land with an iron fist and went to great lengths to ensure that he remained in power. To this end, he even trained hunting hounds as mindless beasts, who would taste only the blood of his victims and relentlessly harass trespassers who dared to challenge his rule.

    By the end of the 16th century, after experiencing numerous life cycles, Francóis finally gains a deeper understanding of the greater scheme that governs existence. He becomes aware that true domination is an illusion, perceiving himself and all others as mere puppets in a grand design. Driven by this newfound awareness, Francóis feels compelled to advise adventurers who encounter him at the golden temple to travel back in time and eliminate his younger self. Has a Domination soul.

    Keys: Alll-mer, The Ascended One

    Alll-mer, the ascended one and the last of the Ascended Gods, was born in Jettaiah, raised by a virgin mother and supposedly sired by a "False God". He gathered his 12 apostles to bring down the old world order, and usher in a new one (His new world order is called the old world order by the New Gods). Corrupt kings and sultans captured Alll-mer and hung him from the cross, where he ascended into the city of the Gods, Ma'habre. He returned back to his weeping apostles and tried to save mankind with his strength by murdering the kings and sultans, bringing back the old world order. Year 0 marks the birth of his new self, and the start of a new calendar. They say his mortal remains still lie in the ancient tomb, hidden somewhere near the ancient city of Ma'habre. Alll-mer has another origin story, written by Enki Ankarian in his Skin Bible of Alll-mer. According to this version, Alll-mer was created by a master architect named Vitruvia, who designed him to be the ultimate human being after noticing imperfections in her previous designs. He was born in the Year 0, suggesting that he immediately began working on his New World Order and displacing the Sultans and Kings of old. Though the two stories share similarities, they are still distinct. His runic symbol is a cross, the object he dies on. Associated skills: Blood portal, Blood Sword, Inverse crown of thorns
