To put it simply: The purpose of this project is to explore the question of what happens with a fantasy world that doesn't get stuck in the middle ages. The way I'm trying to do this is by creating the world as a setting for pen and paper role-playing games. I'm writing and posting articles about different aspects of the world; its inhabitants and culture, its magic and its monsters. The setting is not created for any specific set of rules but there will be tests of it using the Strands of Fate system. Where to start? -> HERE!The entire project is very much a work in progress. To get a quick introduction to some of the basic concepts, please have a look at the introduction page. The project was originally started as a blog but has since moved over to this wiki. If you're interested you can find the entire blog here. I've copied the posts from the blog over to their own pages but they lost a lot of the formatting. The blog posts are slowly being rewritten but new ideas keep getting in the way needing to be added. You're likely to find blog posts here and there, feel free to read them, but keep in mind they may not always reflect the current state of the project. The WorldThis is where the setting is described in more detail. New articles should be added regularly. Not daily but usually there's at least one per week, often more.
Fiction set in the Odd LandsEarly on in the project a request was made for some piece of fiction that would help the reader get a feel for the world.
