My fanstory based on a drastically unappreciated game, "Wrath of Earth". It broke my heart to do it but it's taking everything I have just to keep "Nos Manere" going.

Stumbled across this gem at random a few months ago. Nearly killed my adoptive goatmom completely by accident and felt so horrible (once I realized what I'd almost done) I nearly quit playing on the spot. The fandom for this game is incredible, and it punishes you for being a mindless "murderho...
