Tale: The Soul Rupture of Kinigi

Note: This event may or may not have happened yet. The Deitics are soulless beings. They have no soul. No morality. That’s why they cling on to us mortals, because they are jealous of us, they want to know what it feels like to be mortal and to understand life as we do. They would … Read more

Afterdeath

Note: This story is set about 100 years from present time. “Curious. Interesting perhaps.” Retvik sat up, then immediately fell back down, his body restrained by sharp, thorny bands across his arms and chest. Somevok was talking to him. The same somevok also had imprisoned the Retha. “This has not happened in a while.” Unable … Read more

Toward Kinigi

Note: This story is set about 50 years from present time. “Tenuk, we should not be doing this!” Retvik had repeated that phrase a good thirty or fourty times, and every single time, Tenuk had ignored him and steamed forward with even more determination. He was a Half-Retha on a mission and not even his … Read more

The Toahfen Battle System

Much like the Dessaron Battle System, the Toahfen Battle System exists to both satisfy crowds and help end conflict between races without real bloodshed. Unlike the Dessaron system though, the Toahfen contains one single, gigantic arena – the Iolen Arena, which utilizes altered Deitic technology to manipulate the arena’s environment. The Iolen Arena is situated … Read more

Tale: Switching Teams

The home of the Dessaron team Retha Squad One was normally full of beings on Saturday evenings, but that night, Gath was sleeping over at Retvik’s place, Vel had been invited to a party elsewhere and Kohgra was out foraging for things. Kayess-En, or Kass for short, had the whole house to himself. One could … Read more

Tale: Drunken Midnight Chat

“Vice General, you’re working very late today!” Elkay Theanon rolled his eyes. He was concentrating on what he was reading. It was a proposal from one of the lower generals to increase pay for Secondeers in the Rethan Stratos. Which seemed simple enough, but many of the less well-liked generals would often try and sneak … Read more

Tale: Parallel Conundrum

“Could that even happen?” Retvik paced up and down the room, not in his calm, controlled self, but in a much more panicked state. Behind him, three unnaturally tall and skinny Ethran-types sat on a tattered brown sofa. One of them was Tenuk, the fellow Dessaron he had worked alongside for the last nearly thirteen … Read more

Meeting at the Silvertooth Cafe

The Silvertooth cafe was rarely frequented by any beings other than Thanatians. It sat on the edge of the small town of Asimidont, nestled in the low, dusty hills of Vriskera, next to a literal waterhole. Towns in Thanatian territories were rare, but Asimidont had sprung up due to many Raptors and Kshan herding their … Read more

Early Morning Chat

The two Retha slept peacefully in bed, sharing a large, woolly blanket which draped not only across them, but across the floor as well. They slept closely, their heavily armoured bodies snuggled together, seemingly not caring for the sharper parts of their organic, naturally-growing armour plating, nor their heavy claws. The rest of the cottage, … Read more

A Strange Proposal

Baxavius Thynanium lived in a simple home on the outskirts of Iolonarium, the Cassid territories of Portalia. From his little house he could see both Port Chria and the Kilamia Mountains  over in the Rethan territories. In the distance, the sun was setting, lonely rays scattering over the jagged mountains, many of which were topped … Read more

Confrontation

Underneath the city of Thre-Etas was a huge maze of caves and tunnels. Many of these were flooded with lava, boiling water or steam and used to generate power for the city. The Trelotam Chambers though were the exception. They were cold and frigid, as billowing winds swept through them. Among the frigid cave walls, … Read more

Rethan Stripes

Fun fact. As the Retha are a heavily militarised race, it is important to know the rank of who you are speaking to. The average Retha is normally the average soldier, but all Retha spend three weeks a year doing army duty and honing their skills. Rethan soldiers on duty will have “Stripes” and “Studs” … Read more

Breathing Nitrogen

Vohra, Vreka, and Bayvak all breathe nitrogen. They evolved from bacteria that absorbed nitrogen and converted it into energy. Rather than two large lungs, they have four small lungs that work independently of one another. Due to how common nitrogen is, this has allowed them to expand and colonize many worlds normally unsuitable for other … Read more
