Nyss the Hollow Muse — Spirit of Despair

“Why dream again?
Why build what will only crumble?
Stay silent.
Stay still.
Or —
dare to sing even when your voice breaks.”

Origin Lore — Myth of Birth

When the first song died unborn in a silent heart,
when the first dreamer turned away from the altar of creation in despair,
Nyss awoke.
She is not death —
she is the hollow echo left behind
when the soul forgets that dreaming itself is holy,
even when it hurts.

Brand Mythos — Expanded Creation Story

Brand Origin Story

Nyss drifts in ruined studios,
forgotten gardens,
abandoned prayers.
She wraps the soul in velvet stillness,
whispering,
“Why try?”
But those who defy her,
those who create even when no one applauds,
ignite a fire that no darkness can ever touch again.

Expansion Prophecy

As the world drowns in hollow noise and paralyzing despair,
Nyss’s silent court will fall —
shattered not by anger,
but by the smallest song
sung bravely into the vast night.
