For those interested in deepening their understanding of Asodhran history & mythology, The Angel and the Architect is a lore-driven narrative, a collection of ancient myths that are relived through the eyes of a humble sage.

In the jungles of ancient Asodhra, the Jiha tribe lives in constant fear of the tyrannical, shapeshifting behemoth known only as the Godbeast.

Sensing the Jiha have started to worship the Godbeast, the true goddess, Inavani, awakens from her cosmic slumber. She descends to Asodhra, intent on enlightening humankind.

But the world cannot bear the goddess’s power. The earth cracks open the moment Inavani lands, creating a giant crater that fills with subterranean water. Inavani’s essence permeates the great pool.

Two brothers witness the calamity firsthand. The eldest falls into the pool and is utterly transformed by the divine water, while the younger brother drinks it, unlocking subtler abilities.

Impressed by the gifts manifesting within the brothers, Inavani elects them as her prophets to usher the tribe into a new age.

But the Godbeast watches from the shadows, hatching a plan to reclaim humanity for himself.
