Rigor Mortis: Death of the Southern Star

In a world where death no longer holds sway, one man wields the power to bring it back.

Rigor Mortis is a Death Knight, an anomaly in a land plagued by immortality. His black armor and monstrous axe carve through the unyielding, bringing final rest to those cursed to linger. But in a lawless frontier overrun by greed and corruption, his purpose grows murky. Is he a savior or a destroyer?

When Rigor crosses paths with Alazandrae, a woman desperate to free her enslaved mother, their uneasy alliance plunges them into the heart of chaos. Copperhead, a ruthless tyrant fueled by ambition, schemes to capture Rigor and trade him to the sinister Bone Doctor—a figure shrouded in mystery and menace who thrives on humanity's suffering.

As bullets fly and blood spills in the shadow of Giantown’s colossal effigy, Rigor must confront his place in this fractured world. Will he embrace his role as death’s harbinger, or will he find another path amid the carnage?

Part dark fantasy, part gritty western, this is a tale of vengeance, redemption, and the heavy burden of wielding power in a land where death is both feared and coveted. Inspired by works such as Berserk, Elden Ring, Conan, Slasher films, and Hunt Showdown.
