What This Project Is
Ashes of the Dead is the continuation of the Crimson Dawn saga — a long-form narrated horror series that blends dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic themes, and psychological horror.
This project commissions Season 6 of Crimson Dawn, a new chapter consisting of 6 to 10 episodes, depending on how the story naturally unfolds.
The story has not yet been written.
It will only be created if this campaign is successfully funded.
Where the Story Left Off
At the end of Season 5: Ashes of Reality, the world appeared to heal.
Reality reset.
The curse lifted.
Humanity returned.
But in the final moments, something was wrong.
A figure stood in the ruins.
And the dead began to rise.
That unanswered moment — teased as Ashes of the Dead — is where this season begins.
What Ashes of the Dead Explores
This season is not about spectacle.
It’s about consequences.
What survives when reality is rewritten?
What refuses to stay buried?
And what happens when the dead are no longer content to remain silent?
Familiar characters return — including Eldridge, Silithra, Mira, and the Alpha of Mira — but the world they re-enter is no longer the one they left.
This chapter is darker, slower, and more psychological than previous seasons.
How the Story Will Be Delivered
Ashes of the Dead – Crimson Dawn Season 6 is being created as a living project.
When you become a patron, you’re not waiting for a finished product — you’re helping bring it into existence.
Here’s how it works:
-
You join as a Founding Patron while the story is being created.
-
You’ll see the live production progress bar, showing exactly where the project is at (writing, narration, completion).
-
As each episode is finished, it will be released on a private access page created specifically for patrons.
-
You’ll receive access as the story unfolds, not all at once at the end.
-
Once the season is complete, you’ll have permanent access to the full story in one place.
Founding Patrons will also have their names included in the end credits as part of the creation of Ashes of the Dead.
This is not a pre-order.
It’s a commission — and you’re part of the reason the story exists.
