Walking Homes

So, this all started in a D&D/Tabletop chat, when someone posted an image and I was just overcome with inspiration, and so I just... vomited out an entire backstory to an image.  After that, I would occasionally just be given cool images and I would give them a similar treatments.

This is actually among one of the first that I made that really got people wanting me to give lore to other things.




"Home is where the heart is" is a common saying among housewives and husbands at war.  Its a saying that is meant to say that their home can be anywhere.  But sometimes it can take on a more literal meaning.  Emotions and feelings are a special kind of magic that few can tap into, with love and hate being some of the strongest emotions there are.  Sometimes that magic seeps into the wood and foundation of homes, clinging to the framework.  Sometimes, it can even take on a life of its own, bred from those emotions.

And sometimes those houses feel betrayed.  When a loving family uses it for generations, and then discards it, all those emotions can brew and fester into these abominations, who seek out the ones that left them, to make them feel the pain that they were forced to endure.

These Walking Homes are to be considered in the same category as possessions and poltergeists, but with one important difference:  These are created souls, not born ones.  They can't be reasoned with the same way.  If you see one... good luck.
