Arkay Transcript from Kolasia Vohran Nest Nuvak: What the hell, Korak? What the hell are you doing? Where the hell is Talok? Korak: Talok is a Varga now. Nuvak: What? How?

Kalsa Warrior Korak had been on Entrance Duty for the last 15 hours. She was sick and tired of it, but she was due to finish in a few minutes. She’d arranged to spend an hour with her best friend Talok, also the leader of Group A-L, her Kalsa regiment. They’d been meaning to get … Read more
“Someone get the damn door!” Tenuk shouted angrily from the bathroom. Arkay, who had been asleep all day due to a nasty headache, woke up from the lounge and wearily went to the entrance of the Dessaron’s quarters. He flung the door open, not expecting to see two Rethan officers standing there. “Are you Arkay … Read more
Translated from Laniaglos, language of the Lania Come, children, come listen. For I have the reasons behind the blackening of the sky, the destruction of our highest mountain, the fleeing of time. I saw them with my own four eyes, I heard their battle. Life and Death came together as one. The skies blackened when … Read more
“You know what I’m going to say, don’t you?” Arkay nodded. He didn’t need to say anything, he just wanted Skios to get it over with. He’d finally gotten out of hospital. Thankfully, apart from a small infection from an injury, he was perfectly fine. The Deitics hadn’t done anything worrying to Skios. But that … Read more
Planet Threa is the homeworld of the Retha. It is a pleasant, watery planet with plenty of fertile ground and varied environments. It is also resource-rich, with mild seasonal changes and no large predators. The planet is small, about 1.5 times larger than Mars, and has an atmosphere of 24% oxygen, 70% nitrogen and small … Read more
The Retha are a relatively young race compared to the other dominant species alive currently, only becoming sentient 10 thousand years ago. Before then, they had an intelligence level similar to feral Vahrga, aggressively attacking anything that came near them. They hunted in packs and were often left alone. 50 thousand years ago marks the … Read more
I have been watching since the Phovan universe faded into emptiness, waiting as its remaining particles decay and eventually bloom into something new. These blooms grow into new universes, each governed by new rules, somewhat related to their mother universe but different enough to be new entities of their own. The Artikai universe is one … Read more
Tenuk sighed as he sat down on the little glass stool, while he waited for Death to finish off whatever she was doing. Whatever it was, it involved a lot of screaming, which abruptly came to a halt. Finally, the wall ahead of him opened up and a couple of Veth charged out, carrying two … Read more
“Wow, you look really bloody depressed today, Tenuk!” Death waved the lanky Rethan towards her, before disappearing behind a curtain of shadows and smoke. She was clearly trying to be suggestive but it wasn’t working. “You know exactly why I am depressed, Death!” Tenuk sighed. “What in the name of the Li-” Tenuk paused. He … Read more
The Thre-Reth system is a solar system with a white dwarf star that had been considered completely uninhabitable or forgotten about throughout time.

The Thanatia system is a solar system with a standard yellow star, four normal planets and a binary planet, essentially two planets joined together. The planets of the Thanatia system are teeming with life and resources, but are mostly cordoned off and kept off-limits, due to how dangerous that life and those resources can be. … Read more
The Vohreth System is a solar system with a bright, long-living yellow star and six inhabitable planets, as well as several small moons and many uninhabitable objects.

Blythia is the fourth and last planet of the Nexus system. It is a rocky, mountainous world surrounded by a cold, icy ocean. The single continent is kept warm via underground volcanic activity, as well as sulfur vents around the coast of Dovenarzul and the Darkem Plains, although surface activity is incredibly rare. The atmosphere … Read more
