* BlackAndGrayMorality/GrayAndGrayMorality: While WordOfGod says that the Dekn are intended to be the lesser of two evils (having worked to prevent the Arkn from enslaving humankind in the past), both sides have been known to manipulate and torment humans for their own means.

* TheSlenderManMythos: {{Deconstructed}} in ''handprints'', in which "The Slender Man" is revealed to be a human serial killer using a high-grade hallucinogen that causes people to see him as gigantic, spider-like humanoid with no facial features.

The Mayhem Canon, created by Arbiter, details events related to the spiritual aspects of the Arkn-Dekn war, a man who may or may not be at the center of things, and a mysterious person called the "Manipulator". This canon also holds connections to The Fear Mythos through it's primary work.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXv_g2tF-ZsOPBkCVd39-CQ The Mayhem Theory]]. The Primary work in this canon, The Mayhem Theory details a man caught up in the war between the Arkn and the Dekn who finds out he may be more important than originally thought, all while a man known as "The Manipulator" starts affecting his life. This work is also set in the Architect Verse of the Fear Mythos.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK_tFes7RRKjiS1QYpjHayg The Predetermined Outcome]]. This work, tying into The Mayhem Theory, has recently begun, and so not much is known about it at this time.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/GlassBeetles/featured Redlight Omega]]. This vlog details someone caught up in a timeline they don't belong in, and .reality's attempts to purge the error.

Created by DeathlyLogic, this canon details one reality that was split into multiple timelines and realities by a sentient...[[EldritchAbomination thing]] overlooking the world called .reality, that is in charge of making sure realities and timelines follow the path they're intended to, and purging errors whenever they appear.

[[http://theriddleofthetreeman.wikia.com/wiki/TheRiddleOfTheTreeman_Wiki Riddle of the Tree Man]]. This vlog/ARG takes place in the first timeline and hints at the event which caused .reality to split the timeline originally. It details a man referred to as "Hero" who has a mark on his arm; most people do not comment on it, merely falling silent when it is brought up, but his mother always said that he would understand it "When the Tree Man comes". The channel primarily documents his investigation into what this means, even as the "Tree Man" starts to have more influence over his life.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/handprintsofthedead handprints]]. handprints (note the lack of capitalization) takes place in the second timeline (the primary one most of the stories are set in). It details a police force's efforts to figure out the events behind a series of murders spanning nearly fifteen years -- even as someone known as "Hooks" starts killing off the investigators, one by one. By far the most graphic vlog in the mythos, and the only one not based around supernatural tones and themes (though it does touch on them).

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGFO4wce69cgWcpmZLos8lQ The 7venth Reality]]. This takes place in a continuity branching off of the "handprints" timeline. After a serial killer named Alexander Tamil (who is known as the "Slender Man", due to the inhuman appearance he creates by use of hallucinogenics) is shot and killed at a water plant outside the town of New Comshine, his blood mixes with the water and causes all who drink it to turn into feral, monstrous creatures. This timeline was split from the "handprints" one by .reality because the "zombie apocalypse" scenario would have interfered with the plans for the original timeline.

'''The Sirenverse'''

The Sirenverse is a canon created by Liam (no longer involved in the Mythos), creator of Tomorrow's Harvest, and is named after the Siren heard in TH.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyjX7hay2V0ZB6-JvzI2F0w Tomorrow's Harvest]]. A young man starts hearing strange sirens emanating from the woods, and soon finds himself caught up in a situation involving cultists, a tall man in the dark, and a being referred to as "The Mother". The channel changed semi-frequently, with videos titles and descriptions changing, occasionally with a video or two being removed. (This is primarily due to control of the channel changing from person to person.) Sadly, it has been cancelled.

'''The Winterverse'''

Created by Type0Negative, the Winterverse primarily details different beings and phenomena revolving around a Doctor named Ellis, and the patients of him, who seem to be rather important to the Arkn-Dekn war.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTgo6iCOuVjJP9hqPdZIRFQ A Cry From Winter]]. The primary, and first, work in this canon and the one the canon takes it's name from. This series revolves around a young man named Alex Winter who, after being put on a medication by Dr. Ellis, starts encountering strange, mind bending, phenomena that starts to control his entire world.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkne6CWbbE1WYL6lC7CVBhg Michael's Camera]]. This series details another young man on a medication from Ellis who also starts encountering odd phenomena, and soon finds himself caught up in the middle of something he never could have expected.

'''The Arknverse'''

The Arknverse is a canon created by Michael, which details (and codifies) the war between the Arkn and Dekn, and the beings involved. Unlike the other canons, creation in this one is locked to people who have spoken with the creator, as it plays a bigger part in the overall story than the others do.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: [[spoiler:BrokenReality]]

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGFO4wce69cgWcpmZLos8lQ The 7venth Reality]]. This takes place in a timeline branching off of the "handprints" timeline.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzrwOAsRgcR2EB8vF3lsaFg There Are No Lights]]- This channel, taking place in timeline 3, details a man's documentation of a mysterious entity that has been stalking him around his home.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyjX7hay2V0ZB6-JvzI2F0w Tomorrow's Harvest]]. Sadly, this series is now cancelled. It was a series detailing a young man who starts hearing strange sirens emanating from the woods, and soon finds himself caught up in a situation involving cultists, a tall man in the dark, and a being referred to as "The Mother". The channel changed semi-frequently, with videos titles and descriptions changing, occasionally with a video or two being removed. This is primarily due to control of the channel changing from person to person.

''Alterverse'''

* AllInTheEyes: [[spoiler: When Knight first gets possessed in The Knight Shift, his eyes turns a very unnatural shade of blue.]] The same happens to Michael when he becomes

* BlackAndGrayMorality/GrayAndGrayMorality: While WordOfGod says that the Dekn are intended to be the lesser of two evils (having worked to prevent the Arkn from enslaving humankind in the past), both sides have been shown manipulating and tormenting humans for their own means.
* HauntedHouse: The house in The Knight Shift ''seems'' to be this [[spoiler:at first]].
* IcyBlueEyes: Knight/possessed Michael. See AllInTheEyes.

* CosmicHorrorStory: While it's not the main focus of the mythos, the overarching plot (and many of the individual ones) contain elements of this. The individual plots tend to involve people getting caught up in things they can't understand, and the overall plot is also outside of man's comprehension.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/handprintsofthedead handprints]]. handprints (note the lack of capitalization) takes place in the second timeline (the primary one most of the stories are set in). It details a police forces effort to figure out the events behind a series of killings, even as someone known only as "Hooks" starts killing them off, one by one.

This timeline was split from the "handprints" one by .reality because the "zombie apocalypse" scenario would have interfered with the plans for the original timeline.

'''''The Arkn Mythos''''' is a series of stories in different canons, primarily on the internet, detailing a cast of angel-like beings known as "Arkn" protecting humanity from monsters (namely demonic creatures known as "Dekn") from a place known only as "The Beyond". However, the individual stories within the mythos tend to have their own unique plots with the plot named above being an overarching plot across each work.

The Arkn Mythos has its own wiki [[http://thearknmythos.wikia.com/wiki/The_Arkn_Mythos_Wiki here]].

* [[DontGoIntoTheWoods Don't Go Into The Woods]]: It seems like this might be becoming a plot point in both A Cry For Winter and in There Are No Lights, what with the former having [[spoiler: Alex possessed in the woods]] and the latter having the stalker seeming to show up in the woods.

* IcyBlueEyes: Possessed Knight. See AllInTheEyes.

* MalevolentMaskedMen: The Hooks Killer. So ''very'' much.
* MindScrew: Liquid Bones. No More Truths somewhat qualifies as well, given the overall lack of context for the entries.

The Winterverse-

The Winterverse

The Arkn Mythos is a series of stories, primarily on the internet, detailing a cast of angel-like beings known as "Arkn" protecting humanity from monsters from a place known only as "The Beyond". However, the individual stories within the mythos tend to have their own unique plots with the plot named above being an overarching plot across each work.

This mythos holds many connections to [[TheFearMythos The Fear Mythos]]- the two share many themes, motifs, and plot connections. The Arkn Mythos is classified as a separate mythos primarily because it contains more than one canon.

You can read the Fear Mythos Wiki page for the Arkn Mythos [[http://thefearmythos.wikia.com/wiki/The_Arkn_Mythos here]].

Stories in the Arkn Mythos include-

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6BRdtN_DisjtGMZBd9XLuQ The Knight Shift]]- A group of friends go into a house on the roadside after a car crash, looking for a phone to call for help. They find something else, instead.

[[http://nomoretruths.tumblr.com/ No More Truths]]- This is the primary series codifier for the Arkn Mythos, explaining and revealing many concepts of the overall story that appear in many of the individual works. This details the life of a man (or is he?) who has repeated encounters with different things from the mythos.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/handprintsofthedead handprints]]- A police force investigate footage found at the scene of a mysterious and unsolved crime and try to track down the serial killer dubbed "Hooks".

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/theycomefromthesky Liquid Bones]]- A YouTube channel for an entity known as ".reality" to communicate with the world. This is also the YouTube channel for an ARG of the same name.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGFO4wce69cgWcpmZLos8lQ The 7venth Reality]]- After a shootout at a local water processing plant, a small town is quarantined with several dangerous and brutal things that used to be human. This takes place in a world that used to be the same one as handprints, but was seperated into a different world for unknown reasons by unknown forces.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzrwOAsRgcR2EB8vF3lsaFg There Are No Lights]]- A young man documents his encounters with a strange person stalking him. This channel is a little bit less organized than the others, so it can be harder to keep up with and understand entirely, but it's still worth watching all the same!

* [[DontGoIntoTheWoods Don't Go Into The Woods]]: It seems like this might be becoming a plot point in both A Cry For Winter and in There Are No Lights.
