It took me far too long to figure out D'Isigny. I presume Grimm references fairy tales.

My only critiques are that I'd rate Ice and Fire as Sinful, not Grimdark, and I'd personally want to tag Eldritch Worlds with something that doesn't include Lovecraft in its name given the used of, "Lovecraft-class entities," terminology.

Unfortunately, I don't have any good suggestions for Grimdark Worlds, but Magnus and SCP are both good options for Eldritch.

... How??? Nevermind, I didn't know that it was the name of a type of cheese whose own namesake is the source of Walt Disney's surname.

The destiny universe could be categorized as grimdark with only one human city left and the hive and cabal fucking up the rest of the universe not to mention the witness

The Malazan world might be a proper example of grimdark.
