Heeeyyyooo! I've been really itching to make this video, as I mentioned the Knöx Sanguis have been with me for a while now. However, it has really only been in the past year or so that I have begun fully fleshing out their backstory and their role within the world. Let me know if this new format was enjoyable for you or if you'd prefer me to go back to the old system/ or alternatively, if you like this format but would like an additional video deep diving into their specifics - I am soooo down to keep talking about this lot. They really are one of my favourite creations. Apologies for some of the audio issues/ broken parlance, I was so excited about this video that I stayed up late to get it finished. Also I feel like I am finally getting the hang of Clip Studio Paint, and my drawing skills have gotten a lot better.
As always, all of the music in this video was created by me - Marcel Foster
I have been working on several themes for the Knöx Sanguis but none of them have fully captured exactly what I want to express. Once I have one finished I will upload it.

I never thought the trend of redesigning fantasy elements will become so popular but I'm really glad it has been a lot more refreshing and interesting than just the boring generic stuff you see in the mainstream.

Thanks homie! Yeah me too! There’s been a lot of world builders surfacing recently. It’s nice to see so many of them break away from the Tolkien/ Warcraft-esque style that we’ve seen so many times over. I’ve always been a bit baffled that more people haven’t tried to push fantasy to its extremes.

Writing notes whilst riding the bus is the most natural way to start, I think - especially if you have to commute often to go pretty much anywhere😁 Also, it's always in those "relaxed" moments like when you're about to fall asleep that the best ideas seem to come to mind. Your overturning of the usual vampire tropes is really interesting! It does seem that movies and TV shows have moved on from the vampire trend, but I still can't help but be intrigued whenever a series I'm reading/watching suddenly dips their toes in vampire lore. I would be interested to hear how the rest of the world regard the Blood Breathers - worldbuilding reaches a whole new level of three-dimensionality when different characters or societies interact with one another, after all!

Thank you very much for your insightful comment, I really appreciate it! I completely agree! I have a few more races and things to establish before I then go into more of the narrative and interpersonal/ cross cultural relationships. But I completely get what you mean, and I hope you stick around to see how it progresses. I’m eternally thankful that you found it interesting enough to leave a comment 🤟

i LOVE world and lorebuilding with a burning passion and i am very very happy to have discovered your channel. i love seeing other people craft their own worlds, explore their themes, references and criative ideas! i am building my own world myself and it's a work in progress but i do play some ttrpg with friends on that setting haha anyways, idk if you'd be interested in that at all, but i thought that these guys being underground is a huge catalyst for a bunch of other things! maybe they could expand their underground society and become a threath to multiple places or maybe they're discovered by someone (which can lead to either someone wanting to understand and explore hemomancy or a horrifying one way ticket to hell lol).

@@TheSongOfO sure, i'd love to connect! it's always good to actually have someone that enjoys worldbuilding to talk to for a change lol the world i'm working on was birthed out of a silly worldbuilding game i did with a friend. i revisited it recently and it went from silly game to suplementary dnd 5e setting and now it's moving on to be its own thing. it's called Thyria and it's a post-apocalyptical dark fantasy world under the influence of a mysterious dark star and the demise of their previous "gods" :3

You've said that they get oxygen from blood, did you mean from their own blood or from other people or animals?
@TheSongOfO
@TheSongOfO 4 месяца назад
Great question, I think initially they found they could use insidium to enhance their own oxygen content in their blood. But as they go on and become more twisted and warped they discover they can use the blood of others to increase their abilities and save their own blood. Does that make sense? What do you think?
@Simon-et4hu
@Simon-et4hu 3 месяца назад
​@@TheSongOfO I think if they need the oxygen they have to get it from others. But they could have used insidium to modify their own blood in many ways. Or be able to use other gases in their blood? I think breathing blood is pretty badass :D the concept is cool as hell!
@PinkBroBlueRope
@PinkBroBlueRope 23 дня назад
Wait, they filter the oxygen out of their own blood to breathe? This is just holding your breath with extra steps since no extra oxygen is getting in and no waste gas is going out. Where do they get their constant supply of fresh, oxygenated blood? My bad if I missed something but I can't see how this makes sense
@TheSongOfO
@TheSongOfO 23 дня назад
Originally they used insidium to supplement the amount of oxygen that their blood carried meaning they could go for longer spans of time without “needing to breathe” in the traditional sense, (which in a subterranean cavern is a massively useful skill) then after they discovered that harvested oxygen from other life forms could provide other additional benefits such as artificially extending their lives and supplementing their strength etc etc they began hunting for it from other settlements, and now possess cavernous blood farms where they cultivate life forms in suspended animation allowing the “cattle” to regenerate enough to create new haemoglobin before performing more transfusions to survive. Overtime their physiology has become more bio mechanical and grotesque as a result of continuing to push the limits of what they can endure. I can definitely understand the confusion but at the end of the day, this was a brief video providing a relatively short overview about a complicated, lore-rich fictitious and magical race of vampire-like creatures. I’m definitely not pretending like it should make complete sense, but at the same time I’m not sure how traditional vampires sucking blood can make them shapeshift into bats etc. I am thankful for your insight and hope this had clarified any lingering issues. If not I can assure you I will be continuing to develop these guys in future videos.

Sick man, a bit more outlandish than I was expecting but I love it. Seeing as their city is sunken do they rise out of the ocean when they want to attack other settlements or is there still remnants of the city above ground?
@TheSongOfO
@TheSongOfO 3 месяца назад
So the city is subterranean not subaqueous, it’s basically in an enormous underground cavern. That they have heavily fortified with spikes and impaled corpses etc. I guess the crater/ chasm is visible from the surface but I just picture more of an enormous dark tear in the ground with very faint lights emitting

This design is absolutely FABULOUS!!!! 😻🤩🥹 I’ll even be using this as reference for my own speculative evolution project! 🔥✍️ I’m currently working on a race of sapient/sentient Bacteria, Mordeus Occulivos. They’ll live among humans w/o detection, later becoming a zombie infection. A war between the bacteria will break out over the ethics of the infection. Similar to the Anti-War/Hippy era. I’m doing my own redesign of zombies. Since the Mordeus utilize genetic modification, they can change the body plan of a zombie as they see fit. (Including adding DNA from other animals & organisms) I’m going more for an Ethereal, Robotic, Bio Mechanical look. Stif & Upright, Calculating & Efficient. The polar opposite of the conventional zombie, essentially. 🤣 Referencing the Androids in Aliens. I’m even experimenting w/ “Walking Cities.” Where bacteria take a zombie & turn it into their city/base of operations. They can even pilot the infected person. Essentially puppeteering thm. You can find floating buildings around & an Aurora Borealis atop the zombies’ heads. Due to the intense magnetic field the bacteria rely on to communicate. They use a sorta “Bio WIFI” to speak. (Imagine finding a zombie w/ an Aurora on its head!! 🫣🙀) I have a “Macho” bacteria character in mind who will lead the infection. Cruor reminded me of him a lot. Specifically, his essence I’m tryna nail down. I don’t want his *entire* personality to be bloodlust. I’m playing w/ the idea of a vengeful yet compassionate personality. I want to create cognitive dissonance in those who see him. 😹 He’ll be piloting a “Walking City” in zombie form too. Symbolizing his care, empathy, & compassion for those he’s protect & “raising.” I LOVE body horror & will be adding lots as well! 🤭 I appreciate you adding adding some mechanical elements to your design. Ex: The blood breathing tubes. Even the Knox Sanguis experimenting on ppl & making a whole new species is AWESOME!! Lots of great material I’m taking notes on. 🔥✍️ Reminds me of my own bacteria design as well! 🤣 They genetically modified other organisms w/ hair appendages as their form of early tools. Similar to Humanity’s Stone Age. So modifying themselves & other organisms is their livelihoods. 🤣 They even use modified viruses as their writing system. 😲 I’m gonna stop here cuz this is getting far too long! 😹 If you’re curious or have any questions, lmk. I don’t have Discord or other socials. So the comment section will have to suffice. 😸 This concept is absolutely fantastic! You’re giving me lots of Inspo for my own redesigned zombies & Mordeus bacteria. I’ll be happily binging your entire catalog of vids. 😹 Btw I’d love to see a vid diving into the specifics of their magic, lore, & biology most importantly! 🤩 I was inspired by Cree8ball’s channel to do this speculative evolution. His vid on the Aije, Gas Giant squids, is an amazing watch if you’re curious! 😺😽👌 Hope you enjoyed my best seller novel here, & Tysm again! I’m excited to see more from this race~
