Arkn: Legacy (a.k.a. Arkn X) is the first official canon universe in The Arkn Mythos. Created by DeathlyLogic, Kekstein, Penthepoet, and Candlewalkerstudios, it launched in the spring of 2017, and functions as both a true sequel to Arkn: Unity and a stand-alone canon.
Legacy takes place in Universe X: an entirely new universe which was born out of the End Times of Universe A. It is composed of a series of independent (though loosely connected) storylines, and is a major departure, in both tone and storytelling, from its original predecessor. Whereas The Arknverse was almost entirely restricted to the urban fantasy and cyberpunk genres, Legacy allows room for virtually any genre to be explored.
Premise
In Universe X, conflict once again rages between the angelic-looking, magic-wielding Arkn and the demon-esque, psychic Dekn. Humanity (from whom the Arkn and Dekn evolved) lives in quintet of universal orbs known as "Seeds", while the Arkn and Dekn dwell in their own worlds within a separate realm, the Lathrym. However, as time marches on, the Arkn and Dekn are brought into contact with humans, forming alliances with them. Soon enough, the Arkn and Dekn (and some of their non-human neighbors from the Lathrym) begin moving amongst the Seeds in disguise — outsourcing their own versions of the Mafia and the Yakuza, operating multi-universal corporations, and (on occasion) exterminating Seeds that have outlived their apocalyptic deadlines.
Content
Much of the content in Legacy (as of now) is written, and consists of short stories and blog series. However, there are also a few vlog series and a number of audio logs.
