When Morgan was a boy, he jumped the walls of Basedt and fled into the hellish wastes of the ash tundra. He would become the only man to escape an unceasing storm that has isolated the city from the rest of the world for over a hundred years.

Content warnings

Basedt represents a tonal low for Moribund. It deals with death, famine, hunger, war, violence, suicide ideation, death cults, apocalypse scenarios, familial abuse, generational trauma, broken relationships, and mental illness, among other things.

These are blanket warnings for major themes in Basedt. Particularly graphic or heavy pages may have more specific content warnings attached.

Accessibility

This site is keyboard navigable and should be decently screenreader-friendly (I test with NVDA.) I write image captions in the form of long descriptions (longdescs), which are displayed below each page.

I have done my best to make this site responsive and mobile-friendly, though it’s a little clunky.

Updates

Currently updating every Saturday, until my buffer catches up with me or I accrue enough buffer to update more often. Sometimes pages “secretly” go up before I say they do. This is a living document! Things wiggle around.
