The Story of Sanctuary || An Empires x Hermitcraft Animatic
Inspired (very vaguely) by the greek myth of the golden apple. This was a lot of fun from writing to story initially to finishing the animatic, and I hope you all enjoy!

The script, for your creative uses. You are free to use this for anything, all I ask is that I be credited and this video be linked:
Once upon a time, there was a king with wings of viridian, who raised a shining city out of the Earth itself. One by one, he drew the attention of three local gods, who he then likewise adored. But, the gods are selfish beings, and quickly grew weary of his divided devotion. So, one day, they descended down to the shining city, and asked the king where his loyalties lied, once and for all.
The first god, a towering figure with sparks jumping through his eyes, implored, “I am the most divine! My divinity comes from the sky itself, from the clouds that give the world life, from the words sung to me as tribute from devoted followers. And yet here I am asking for your devotion. I can give you a son, made in my image, as divine and perfect as I!"
The king was moved, but while in consideration, the second god, with skin that shone like gold and teeth that gleamed like silver, stepped forwards. "What good is being head of a family, when you could be the head of all there is to have? My divinity comes from the blinding warmth of noon rays, from the realm that sits behind heavy eyelids, from the authority of kings and conquerors past. Give me your loyalty, and I shall guide your hand in expanding your borders, until they span from Dawn's scarlet fingers to Dusk's blazing kingdom.
The king once again considered, and turned to the 3rd god, with petals in her hair and the sounds of war in her step. This god was a cunning god, you see, and after hearing the offers made by her two compatriots, she stepped forward.
"One of us offered you companionship, and the other offered you prestige. I bring forth something different. My divinity comes from the spilt blood from which civilizations sprout, from the bonds forged in battle between friend and foe alike, from the first saplings after a fire and the first harvest after a famine. I am far older that my compatriots, and I was human once. If you devote yourself to me, I will give you what I wished for, eons ago. Choose me, and no harm shall ever come to your home ever again. Under my protection, your kingdom will flourish, famine and conquest will be no more. In exchange, show your devotion by opening your arms and hearts. Become a sanctuary for the hungry and hunted, and be under my protection."
The viridian king, who had raised a shining city with his own bare hands, who had sought a new beginning after crawling out of charred, crumbled ruins, stepped forward and fell to one knee. "I have awoken before to crackling flames on a sanguine morning. My soul echoes of laughter and joy snatched by the edge of a blade and the fragility of mortal peace. I accept your offer, O Goddess. I will make my kingdom a respite, and its lungs shall breathe with my lungs, its heart shall beat with my heart."
And from that moment, trees stretched their roots into the deepest caverns and their branches brushed the heavens. Wheat fields glistened like bronze and sang in the breeze. The land lives on with the king, and the king lives on. The hidden sanctuary, sworn to its goddess of rebirth, endures as a respite for any traveler or vagabonds to stumble upon the shining city of the viridian king.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
Yo first reply! Hi Sausage!
Hiyaaaa Sausageeee!!! :DDDDD
Im so glad you saw this I was about to send it to you lol... From the art to the story telling it's sooo great!
Sausage you should make this ✨LORE✨
AYYYYY HI PAPA SAUSAGE!!! HOPE YOURE DOING GOOD!!! :DDD loved seeing you in the premier, your lore is amazing ❤ i’m so glad i checked you out!! one of my all time favs ❤
Joel: Okay, but do you want a kid anyway? I will give you a child for free.
god of absentee fatherhood frfr
@@VyeOh now i see where Etho got it
@@SkSkNutellaclearly, we know who Etho’s patron god is
@@tumblingartist don’t tell Bdubs
Double it and give it to the next emperor
The way you made Pearl say "and i was human once..." That gave me chills.
Afterlife smp reference
SAME
@@OC-Central I think it's actually empires smp s1. Pearl wasn't in Afterlife except as a diety and patron of Angel Sausage
After life or empires?
(I know I already commented on this but during my like I don't know what number rewatch I just realised something) Pearl watched all her friends be receinacted, imagine the pain of seeing all your old friends but never being able to tell them your shared history, and even if she could she is a god I imagine it's taboo to befriend a god for they are ment to be feared or revered not equals, ontop of that most of them are mortals so she'll have to watch them die again, yeah Pearl just officially became the saddest character in lore
THIS IS GENUINELY SO STUNNING! From the voiceover to the sound effects, and especially the art and characters! You’re a legend!
Anyone else get emotional at the ending? That was superb dialogue and storytelling.
In retrospect of the finale this is perfect. And yet Sausage makes peace with all three gods in his own way. Santa Pearl still the one true god. :D
You're so talented I don't even know what to say! The fact that you did the voice acting by yourself as well is incredible!! Absolute legend
Thank you! Also, I did not do the voice acting (I absolutely cannot voiceact), that honor goes to my friend Zhimi! www.youtube.com/@Zhimi_
@@VyeOh Oh I see!
@@VyeOh They did an amazing job at it!
I love the storytelling and art portrayed. The Homeric writing style and all of the gods’ epithets were so so cool! 👍 Bdubs was portrayed kind of like Apollo, Joel was like Zeus, and Pearl was a bit like Athena. Well done!
1:30 I only just noticed the Watcher Eyes. Nice touch. I remember seeing a theory on the Empires sub about the Gods being the watchers. And the Eye of Stratos being what they watch through. And perhaps that after Evo, Pearl became a watcher too. There were some holes in the theory but I like the concept.
This is astonishing! The music and each god’s proposal for sausage. I absolutely love it.
YOOOO THE WRITING IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! THE WAY EACH GOD"S OFFER IS DESCRIBED IN THESE PERFECTLY ABSTRACT WAYS IS BEAUTIFUL! THE ART PAIRS IT SO WELL AND THE VOICE ACTING IS DELIVERED PERFECTLY!!
The suspense is going to kill me !!! 😂😊
This gave me chills! THis is so beautiful. The way Pearl said, "and i was human once..." brings back so many empires memories. Well done!
Vio I'm one day later but let me tell how incredible you are OMG! every animatic you make amaze me, this is stunning!!
This is so good! I love the writing and art and narration so much! It feels like a cute bedtime story :D
Mission success!!! I wanted it to have the vibe of a story that would be passed down like a ballard or campfire story
@@VyeOh Please do more of these! These are amazing!
This is absolutely stunning. I am in awe and in love with every single part of it. I got goosebumps during Santa Pearla's speech, absolutely incredible work! ❤
Not what I expected when clicking, but I was pleasently suprised and smiling through the whole thing.
SIT DOWN KIDS ITS STORY TIME - once upon a time there was an ABSOLOUTLY INCREDIBLE ANIMATIC LIKE HOW TO PEOPLE DO THIS?!?!
This is amazing. It reads like the kind of tale a storyteller would tell, maybe a bard singing a ballad to a lively tavern, or an elder, maybe even the viridian king himself, recounting a tale to a crowd of small children. This is an amazing concept, and the animation to come with it is fantastic.
dude i got chills when pearl started walking up
It echoed the story of Athens founding, and the characters and stories of empires and hermitcraft and the life series, but was beautifully unique. Bravo
This story soothes me in a way I can't explain. I can imagine it being told in song by a campfire or in the gentle tones of a mother in front of a hearth.
Wow. More words might come later
This is beautiful! The character art and way the scenes were put together, the storyline and slight twist on Sausage's lore, amazing!
This is amazing.
this was perfect!!! you worked this into such a wonderful little story i adore it ;w;
This is incredible!! The attention to detail, the cinematic atmosphere, the style, the designs, and the story are all so beautiful! It felt like I was watching a short film!
Joel: I’m teh most DEvInE. Got me rolling lol
This is amazing… from the storyline, to the art, this is the one of the best animatics there is, I’m sure of it. This is beautiful.
WHY IS THIS STORY PERFECT THOUGH???
oh my god, this is gorgeous. i literally took a break from what i was doing to act along, this is incredible. i was genuinely sitting there mouthing the words as they come and making hand gestures and stuff, kneeling like i was bowing even tho it a little bit hurts my knees
Man, sanctuary has good writers!! New trade resource unlocked!
Your animatics are always so full and detailed and this is no exception! the art, the script, the reading, the music, the SOUND EFFECTS. i actually jumped out of my seat a little at 1:51. I love this so much.
This sounds like a bedtime story! I love this 💜💜💜
I have watched this video so many times its honestly an artistic masterpiece!😍 I love the images and the incredible details and lore, and the voice over is amazing as well. It all comes together so beautifully!
Oh, the thumbnail is so pretty! Can't wait to watch it!
This is all about a man who willingly calls himself sausage
WE NEED MORE OF THIS, cause the lore for empires is too long and complex, i cant keep track of it anymore
this was fabulous!! the concept, the artwork, Zhimi’s narration, all of it was so cool :DD
Santa perla?!
Absolutely breathtaking. The writing, voiceover, art, all of this is such perfection.
This simply amazing. There is nothing more to say about it. From the style of animation to the slight emotion in your voice that gives way to the characters to the way it so perfectly fits into the lore of his videos- **mwah** Words cannot describe how beautiful and awesome this video is.
GENUINE CHILLS MAN!! this is gorgeous, from the voicing to the art to the sound effects! its all so!
