The Last Star of the Pleroma
The Gnostic drama of fallen Wisdom, from the Fullness of light to the prison of matter, and the long road home.
Read the storyEden: The Kingdom of the Blind God
A god wakes alone in the dark, mistakes the silence for proof that he is the only one, and builds a counterfeit heaven, a mechanical cosmos and a beautiful walled prison to keep that one mistake true.
Read the storyThe Apocalypse
The end told from the Gnostic side, where the world does not burn, it is disclosed: the light counted back, the counterfeit heaven rolled up, and nothing missing from the Fullness at last.
Meet the castThe Prophets
Divided into nations and deafened by empire, the seed should have gone quiet. Instead, Wisdom learns to speak in the one voice the Archons cannot confiscate: one human being at a time.
Meet the castBabel
The water failed, so the blind god stops trying to drown the light and starts trying to divide it. Seventy tongues, and not one of them can say the word whole.
Meet the castThe Flood
The blind god sees a light in his clay that he did not put there, and reaches for the water. The Genesis story, running backward.

The Fullness before anything was missing from it: the Invisible Spirit, the first thought that looked back, and the thirty Aeons of a world with no word for lack.
Meet the castThe Adversary
The most famous villain in the world was not born a villain, and was not born once. A biography of the Devil, assembled across a thousand years from a prosecutor, a taunt, a snake, a fire-angel and a dragon.

Two spirits, one who chose truth and one who chose the Lie, and a universe built as the trap that ends the war. The root of every light-against-dark story that came after.
Read the storyThe Night Under the Tree
No flood, no fire, no army of light: one man, one night, one tree, and by morning, the claim that death itself had been seen through.

The oldest epic on earth: a king loses his friend to death, walks off the map to un-learn it, and comes home with the only immortality there is.

Gods and demons take opposite ends of the same serpent and churn the cosmic ocean for the nectar of immortality, and the first thing that surfaces is poison.

A god murdered by his brother, sealed in a chest, scattered in fourteen pieces, and reassembled by the two women who refused to stop looking.
