"There is a place where gods lie buried beneath silent stone,
where ruined spires pierce a blood-red sky,
and cursed warriors wander forgotten roads,
singing their sorrows into the endless dark."
Welcome to Maiden Elegies
Maiden Elegies is a gothic fantasy forged in sorrow, eldritch horror, and the decaying beauty of medieval myth. It is a realm where despair clings to crumbling cathedral walls, where every whisper carries the echo of an ancient grief.
I’m Farah, the creator of Maiden Elegies an artist, writer, and worldbuilder, and a proud voice within the JinkoWorld Collective. For years, I’ve been weaving the threads of this universe, drawing inspiration from Bloodborne, Lovecraft’s cosmic dread, and the quiet tragedies buried in medieval chronicles. But above all, Maiden Elegies is an elegy—a lament for what was lost, what was taken, and what still dreams beneath the stone.
This is a place where the powerful remain unchallenged, and hope flickers like a candle in a cavernous ruin. Where bloodlines twist with secrets, and the gods who once ruled are long thought dead, though their curses still bind the living.
Here, you will discover:
The Blood Queen - ruler of Sablemere, who forged her reign from betrayal and grief after her father’s death in the War of Blooded Crowns. Her power is absolute, her cruelty unending. Within her iron citadel, she weaves spells that gnaw at the will of her subjects, sustaining her dominion through centuries of silent terror.
The Widowed Covenant - a cult born from sorrow, formed by women who lost husbands to war, plague, or betrayal. They turned to witchcraft to seek vengeance on a world that discarded them. Their rituals are dark and sacred, their sisterhood bound by grief and sharpened into rage. From their ranks rose the Widow, a Maiden reborn through ritual, her life devoted to vengeance against a poisoned world.
The Dreamscribes - secret agents of nightmare under the Blood Queen’s dominion. They twist the dreams of Sablemere’s citizens into nightmares of guilt, loss, and terror, keeping the city docile and broken.
The Dragon Knights - warriors who kneel to gods long extinct. They revere the dragons as sacred beings who embodied freedom and truth, shaping their order into a religion of steel and fire. Now they wander a world without gods, clutching to fragments of myth, their order crumbling under the weight of its own faith.
The Maidens - cursed warriors chosen by something unimaginably ancient. Their gifts come at a terrible cost, weaving their fates into sorrow, sacrifice, and silent despair. Arasithe walks among them, gathering Maidens to her cause, seeking to break the Blood Queen’s rule. She carries secrets older than any empire, secrets that may consume her before her mission is complete.
Maiden Elegies is more than a single story. It is a tapestry of tragedy and defiance, stitched together by grief and dreamt into being through art, words, and shadowed fragments.
As the world builds you will find:
Lore Fragments revealing the myths, forgotten rites, cults, and creatures that haunt this world
Short Stories exploring the sorrowful paths of cursed warriors, secret orders, and fading gods
Mainline Stories following the journeys of the Maidens and those bound to their fate
High-resolution artwork capturing these moments in cinematic, gothic detail
Behind-the-scenes posts, videos, and process breakdowns for those curious about how this world is shaped
Secret content for those who walk deeper into the Veil, discovering truths not meant for mortal minds
This is only the beginning.
You will see the first fragments of this world take form, stories of betrayal and sacrifice, art capturing the sorrow of the Maidens, and lore unveiling the hidden workings of cults, covenants, and kingdoms.
