Zodiac Mountain

Long ago, the twelve astrological guardians, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces, all guarded a mountain. These guardians selected a small town near the mountain to protect. The people showed their gratitude by giving offerings and taking pilgrimages to the mountain, and the guardians protected the people without fail for a long, long time.

One day, the mountain began to show signs of decay. A blinding, powerful light could be seen from its cracks, and the people of the town wondered what could be happening. They had no idea that the mountain was becoming slowly corrupted by a shining parasite.

The guardians began acting strange. No answer to the people’s prayers, and no traveler coming back from going to the mountain. Soon, a golden and ominous thing had destroyed the top of the mountain, and was eating its way through the rest.

Nova, a traveling swordswoman from a distant land, comes to the mountain wanting a blessing from the guardians, but finds the town almost abandoned, and the mountain threatening to corrupt the earth.

See through her eyes and watch her explore and do battle with the once pure and well-meaning guardians.

Zodiac Mountain is an ongoing passion project started in 2021, which includes concept art, environmental/character design, and posters.
