Let Me Introduce You To The Guild
From the moment I could walk I fell in love with stories. They've been my constant companions, my teachers, and my greatest source of wonder. Now, after years of crafting tales, I can honestly say that "Small Gods" is the most ambitious, the most intricate, and the most deeply resonant story I have ever had the privilege to tell.
This isn't just a project; it's a world that has taken root in my soul, filled with characters who feel as real to me as the people I know. And now, I want to invite you to become a part of it. To step into the shadows of Night-Wing, to walk through the Guild Halls, and to witness the courage of those who dare to fight for a better future.

Small Gods: Behind The Veil
"Small Gods" plunges into the heart of Night-Wing, a post-apocalyptic metropolis ruled by a pantheon of gem-infused gods. These deities, wielding immense power derived from mystical gems, exert an iron grip on the populace; although not all the citizens know that. Their authority is woven into the very fabric of society through the pervasive worship of Rhytmos, the god of music. Each musical genre dictates a different denomination, a symphony of control orchestrated from on high.
But beneath this seemingly divine order lies a simmering rebellion. The Small Gods, a clandestine guild of assassins, operates in the shadows, daring to defy these seemingly untouchable beings. Their fight for freedom is fraught with moral complexities as they navigate their own code while attempting to dismantle the gods' oppressive regime and expose the truth behind the harmonist agenda. The story explores themes of faith, power, morality, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.
Imagine a world that stirs the same sense of wonder and immersion as Skyrim, the thrilling suspense of Alien, the intricate political landscape of Game of Thrones, and the resilient human spirit of The Hunger Games – all woven into a completely original narrative with characters you'll love, despise, and ultimately be unable to forget.
Our Vision: A World Waiting to Be Seen (and Heard)
My vision for "Small Gods" extends beyond the written page. While the novels will offer a deep dive into this intricate world, the television series aims to bring Night-Wing and its inhabitants to life with stunning visual fidelity and a captivating soundtrack that embodies the very essence of Harmonism. We believe "Small Gods" has the potential to become the next epic series that audiences crave – a story that entertains, provokes thought, and leaves a lasting impact.
