Given the vast amount of material in The Arkn Mythos, it's hardly surprising that a number of ideas, concepts and characters ended up on the cutting room floor.
The Arkn Mythos (General)
- Originally, the Mythos was conceived as a Spin-Off of The Fear Mythos. DeathlyLogic and Type0Negative premiered some of the key concepts (including .Reality, the Arkn and Dekn, and The Carver) on the forums of the Fear Mythos wiki, and some of the earliest Arknverse content was actually created to fit within Fear Mythos canon (particularly the first season
of The Mayhem Theory, which was set within the Architectverse). This proved to be, in the words of DeathlyLogic, "a terrible idea", as the community immediately began trying to alter their concepts (among other things, they turned .Reality into a Slender Man knockoff made of code, made the Arkn and Dekn into human cults, and greatly reduced The Carver's powers). After a great deal of conflict with the wiki's Admins, DL and T0N split from the community and created the Arkn Mythos as a stand-alone franchise. - Arkn Echo: Endtimes was the planned fourth area of creativity for rhe Mythos. A prequel to The Arknverse, it would have explored the universe before Arknverse A, including the origins of the Hethe pantheon (and their more more powerful, more evil predecessors). The spin off was announced in early 2018, and five installments were written before production stalled; when no further content had surfaced after a year, interest in it petered out, and Echo was officially cancelled.
