dark fantasy reimagined

The Tales of The Black Mountain: Prologue — a dark fantasy story set in a cold, cursed kingdom high in the black mountains.

High in the snow-bound peaks lies a poor town ruled by a corrupt one-eyed king. When his mercenaries return empty-handed from a cursed island ruled by ancient skull-crowned god-kings — their ships destroyed by something vast and terrible in the deep — the king’s wrath falls upon their leader, Alister. This is the prologue to an epic dark fantasy saga of monsters, betrayal, and the things that watch from the dark.

Alister is back. But he is not the same anymore. He suddenly wakes in a unfamiliar room surrounded by two strangers. He does not know what happened but everything seems so odd and wrong that he still believes he is dreaming.

Step deeper into the shadow of the peaks in Tales of The Black Mountain: Episode 1, the next chapter of our original dark fantasy series on Tales Reforged. As the aftermath of the failed expedition ripples through the snow-bound kingdom, ancient forces begin to stir in the frozen depths. High above the impoverished town, the corrupt, one-eyed king known by his close allies as William struggles to maintain his grip on power while secret betrayals take root within his inner circle. Meanwhile, Alister must navigate the deadly consequences of returning empty-handed from the cursed island of the skull-crowned god-kings. “The Old Man” and “The Golden Girl” (who are they really?) ask Alister to join them on a quest to eliminate the King, but stakes are high. Packed with immersive dark fantasy lore, atmospheric storytelling, and cosmic dread, this episode expands an epic saga where love, power, and horrific monsters collide in the cold dark.
