The Heathen Scrolls
What is The Heathen Scrolls?
The Heathen Scrolls is my personal blog and website where I host articles, blog posts, food recipes, services and information I would like to share with the world. It is my little corner of the internet.
Why The Heathen Scrolls?
You may recall my website once went by the name of Dunkelheit, which the German word for darkness. I found this title appropriate as the concept of a digital dark age is something that I believe we are now living in. This is also why I use the .xyz TLD as I find the “end of the internet” culture associated with this TLD to be appropriate.
This new name The Heathen Scrolls is fun play on words, it is clearly a reference to The Elder Scrolls, a video game franchise I enjoy very much as well as incorporating a reference to a recurring theme in the way I express myself.
I really liked the old internet and it’s aesthetic, a time when everything was very personal and experimental and people could express themselves in any which way they desired even if it looked a bit silly or was overloaded with .gifs and webpins. Which I find to be a desireable aesthetic to return. The internet used to be fun and practical and now it is getting smaller every day.
Which is why I changed the design of the website to look like a scroll! As a call back to the original RuneScape and TES:IV Oblivion websites that had thematic designs that were iconic for the time. Except I have chosen a minimal approach to this using CSS and HTML only.
