The rules are simple: we all contribute one or multiple ideas to collectively create the grimmest grimderp setting the world has ever seen. I'll start.
>The peasants are forced to work the land all day, only getting six hours of rest to eat and sleep. Those who die on the job are used as fertilizer.
>When the nobility thinks the land isn't fertile enough, they start "who can kill the most peasants" competition. Traditionally this is done from horseback with sword and lance but in recent years canons have become a popular alternative since the impact of the canonballs also tills the land.
>>46165129
The cities are all inside giant spheres rolling forever.
>>46165129
>Water is somewhat transparent black
All rain is acid rain. That ruins the water and the land. Which, in turns, make the "who can kill more peasants" tournament (fertility festival? ) more frequent.
>>46165310
I think transparent black is self-contradicting concept. Colour of a transparent object is determined by what parts of spectrum it lets through, and black means it lets through none, thus is not transparent.
>>46165129
Necromancy is the only legal form of magic, and it is only allowed to be used by bards, for sick displays of mirth by the undead.
3 and every 5 babies are born dead
>>46165396
>>46165441
Baby zombies, man. Baby zombies.
One can gain magic powers by burning virginal maidens alive, and they use this powers only to capture and burn more maidens, because shit is just so addictive.
>>46165394
How about water is just black ichor
>>46165450
many actors find themselves unemployed as the theatre circuit is dominated by dead infant actors, and so they are forced to seek work in the fields, being showered with cannonballs and run over by the rolling cities. The life of an actor is hellish and short in this realm.
Only the nobility have access to water, the rest can only drink this thick black ichor that very slowly rots the inside of the stomach.
It is common for nobles to kill their political enemies by lowering them into liquid gold and preserving their dead bodies as statues.
>The religion of the land requires you to take time from working to pray each day, failure to do so results in stonings.
>All women musy be covered when in public.
>Technological innovation is frowned upon, as the wholly book describes a way of life that all worshipers must follow, forcing stagnation in agricultural practices.
>there is splinter sect that worships the same god in the same way, but due to minute differences they will try and murder you on sight.
>>46165129
I'd change swords and lances to riding crops when riding down peasants. Also every god is essentially a minor variation on the Old Testament, fire and brimstone god.
>>46165554
Ha. Ha. Ha.

>The religion of the land requires you to take time from working to pray each day, failure to do so results in stonings.
The time required to pray is substracted from the six hours peasants get to eat and sleep.I see what you did there though
The God(s) really fucking hate nobility. So even they get the shaft in term of living conditions.
>>46165493
>>46165486
>>46165469
many desperate actors, crazed by the black ichor they are forced to consume, have taken to virgin sacrifice in an attempt to gain necromantic powers and regain their rightful place as the world's entertainers. This has led to several rebellions throughout the land... Many of which have been quelled using molten gold.
Everything bleeds and feels pain. Everything.

I spent a year in afghansitan. Shits pretty grindark.
>Informats are found strung from trees with wads of US cash atuffed in there mouths.
>Little boys get sold to older men as sex slaves.
>Little girls as young as 6 are married to 40 year old men.
>The primary crop, which sells for thousands a kilo outside of grimderpistan is sold by the farmers for dollars per kilo.
Once in a while brave knights have to fight a dragon. Too bad only tactics available is to throw brave knights at him until he runs out of breath.
The king is as kindly as they come
But he is riddled with cancer and leaves most of the ruling to his wife, who is the bitchiest bitch there is.
The nobility love her for that
>Thanks to fallout from the endless necromantic warfare between various dictators and corrupt kings, few plants and animals can survive.
>The remaining wildlife has become carnivorous and cannibalistic in order to adapt.
>The meat of these heathen beasts is tainted with poisonous black ichor.
>>46165639
There is one God who loves the nobility though, so he makes it his duty to spite peasants. Every year there is grand ritual where the land's poorest beggar is made king for the day and showered with gold and bitches. Then he is literally thrown in liquid gold and offered as a sacrifice to the golden God

To become married or to show you're romantically interested you must rape the woman you have your heart on. If you're a woman you must get the man of your dreams to rape you.

Every solar eclipse, the star of the solar system pushes the moon towards the planet. And the only way to re-correct its orbit to its proper distance is by performing a concert whose music breaks the earth and sound shatters the sky.

Everyone has dysentery.
The world is a few years away from a horrible destruction by a cosmic horror, everyone knows it and nobody can do anything.
There is a cult worshiping spiders by inserting them into various orifices of unwilling initiates in the capital.
They are oppressed by the nobles by having their heads inserted into each others' asses and cut off on a regular basis. Nobody is quite sure how they replenish their membership.
>>46166844
The bears in their despair are cruel because they want to offer mercy in comparison to what is to come. Every night they get dreams and commit acts of even greater tyranny.

I want to know more about these bears. When was their order established, and why?
I'm sick of all this "nobles this, nobles that" shit.
It's not truly grim and dark if some nobles still get the fun of taking advantage of peasantry.
So the 'nobles' should be, like, evil robot insects with acid blood incapable of feeling happiness or remorse.
The land is plagued by a horrible disease that makes everyones genitals rot. The cure for this disease is water, but since water is only available to the nobility every peasant has rotting, shriveled up genitals.
They're also expected to be pregnant by age 12 because they rarely live past the age of 25. The women are still expected to keep working throughout their pregnancy.
the only elves in this setting are drow, but they can can live on the surface due to the air pollution and smoke blocking the sunlight
Literally everyone is retarded.

Fucking cracker-ass bears, always gotta keep a brotha down.
It is possible for a peasent to become a noble but only after sacrificing everyone you love and hold dear to the gold god and if you survive 5 rounds in the bear sentry training pit against 3 fully armed bears without a weapon.
But most nobles aren't Humans anymore they are either man sized mosquitos who use the city as their feeding ground and they kill as many of the freshly made nobles as they can by leading them into a dark corner of the royal palace and then do they use the the stinger on their head to suck the victim dry from all the meat, organs and bones until only the skin is left which they use to disguise them selfs and the other mosquito men as humans.
On the other side are the ones who are possesd by demons and who love to devour peasent souls and are the reason why everything is so bad for the peasents because those guys want to drive them to a fast death to get some tasty souls.
Of course do both sides know of each other and try to snatch away as many peasent nobles as they can to bolster up the numbers of members they have to finally takeover the city.

the peasant are born with cancerous tumors. they supplement their diet when the harvest fails by hacking off the visible tumors and eating them. since supplies are generally low the peasants must often eat their tumors raw.
the expected lifespan is at most 36 though rumors of a woman that has lived to her 40s can be heard at the local tavern.

In order to stop the plants from screaming and the animals from being poison, you have to burn them. The black ichor in everything burns slowly, produces next to no heat, and produces a shitload of smoke.

Nobility and other social ranks are literally tied to your genes, there is no way to become noble, or rise in social ranks at all.
You are what you are born as. Gods prevent change.
But thanks to dick gods, you want to be in other social rank. Doesn't matter if you are a noble, peasant, or a scholar.
You want, NEED, to be in other group.

A revolution usurped the previous tyrant king about 70 years ago. The leader of the revolution, made king by insistence of his followers, was a just man. For a time. Decades later he's just as bad, if not worse than the man he took up arms again, and his once righteous lieutenants are the same sycophants as the previous noble class.
This has happened over a dozen times in recorded history.

Now it's just general assholishness.
Skinwalkers live in the woods near by the cannonball farms. They are never seen in full light by the peasants. They come at night and rape the cattle to death they hoot and holler hellish noises as they do so. The peasants can't do anything to stop it. If they so much as witness the events, they are 'taken' and 'replaced'.
To cope with this, peasants leave out a sufficient amount of cattle for the skinwalkers. If there isn't enough, hell breaks loose on the families of farmers that have not left cattle. Cattle they want to save is kept away in the stables, guarded by decorations made from hair, full fingernails, and teeth. These seem to keep the skinwalkers at bay. Although they do nothing against the skinwalkers when a peasant pisses them off.This is because the skinwalkers are really just the nobles using necromancy and shit to disguise themselves with peasant corpses and fuck the cattle for fun. The hair/nail/tooth decorations do absolutely nothing. It's all literally just nobles fucking with the peasants for laughs
One of the few gods in this setting exists only to give the peasants hellish nightmares in their few hours of sleep. Although, due to the nature of their lives, the peasantry's idea of a hellish nightmare is seemingly mundane and a bit strange.
>>46180095
Spidergirls exist, are mostly humanoid in appearance, there are no men of their species, they're sexually compatible with humans and they are almost exclusively attracted to peasant men whose suffering they want to alleviate. They're also incredibly sexual beings.
The downside? During sex they bite the skulls of the men they procreate with, slowly but surely dissolving their brains. The men remain concious for at least hours, with some unlucky ones remaining concious for days, after which their corpses are used as a recepticle for the spidergirl's eggs.
They also have the proportional strength of a spider (square cube law be damned) as well as the proportional speed of a spider so there's no escaping.

Two things there.
1. The First Crusade was declared in Clermont. Not in Rome. You know why? Because the anti-Papal "Holy" "Roman" "Emperor" controlled Rome and didn't allow the pope to return. Does that sound like the kind of thing that happens to someone who is "above kings for thousands of years"? Oh, and let's not forget that in that same period, he had excommunicated Charles the Amorous of France for being an adultering fuck. Charles then proceeded to... not give a fuck. Or give lots of fucks actually, but none to the pope.
2. If Christianity was subverted to be a warlike religion of anti-Islamism, why did it take until 1095 for the first Crusade to happen? Three factors:
>The explicit cry for help of the Roman Empire (you know, the one you said collapsed? It didn't... entirely) to the Latin world
>Reports of atrocities comitted against the Armenians and other Christians after Seljuks took over rule in the region from the Saracens
And here's the kicker
>Until the 1060s Christendom was constantly on the defense
In 1095 the Muslims had been driven from Sicily within living memory. Within living memory the Muslims had gotten close enough to Rome to sack and desecrate some of its churches.
I want culturally relativist historical revisionists to leave. You want something grimderp? Here's something grimderp.

Everyone considered smart by the rules of the country must be killed, this because smart people arent considered hard working and try to trickle people into doing wront stuff. People considered smart are ones that:
1-Use glasses
2-Know how to speak more than one language
3-Spent more than 10 years on 'school'
4-Musicians
People must work on farms
They are separated according to age and sex, so families will probably not stay together.
If you don't work hard enough you will be killed.

You mean below 5000? Over a period of 300 years? In newly reconquered territory? With viable suspicion of collaboration of the enemy?
>Burnings just for accusations of witchcraft
Literally illegal and, ironically, something that could get you burned to death.
