ABOUT

The Vision

Zeravos is a dark, emotionally driven comic series spanning 11 issues, blending psychological horror, mythic tragedy, and visceral action. Through Ethan, a man unfortunately chosen, manipulated, consumed and reshaped by the Lord of Chaos Arkanis, to wield the relic known as The ShadowBlade. Readers will confront themes of corruption, redemption, and the price of power.

The World of Umbra

Set in the Shadow Realm called Umbra, the story unravels the histories of the Shadow Realm and its current power struggle. Arkanis is sick of the council controlling the reins and aims to do something about it. This realm was once in balance, maintained by the Council of Umbra, until chaos disrupted the order.

Themes & Tone

Deception and Identity – The blade’s forgotten origin mirrors Ethan’s fading sense of self.
Corruption over Control – Skia is not order but a cursed will trapped in the blade, while Arkanis is the chaos that led Ethan to it.
Free Will and Manipulation – Every decision Ethan makes feels like his own, but the truth is far more disturbing.

What Lies Ahead

Zeravos is just the beginning. Through immersive lore and stunning visual storytelling, Darkroot Comics aims to create a lasting universe. You are invited not just to read, but to experience the descent, the betrayal, and the rebirth of something deeper in the shadows.
