Setting Index

This page is an index of the various settings that are/will be detailed on this wikia.

Fantasy

 * Delonis - When a young man is given a mission by his people's goddess, he steals his family's ancestral blade and sets out to follow the cryptic command he has been given: Put a stop to the hurting in the world. Joined by others with their own causes to champion, he finds himself coming into conflict with a shadowy conspiracy that seeks to plunge the world into darkness.
 * Vampire Knight - An obligate parasite grapples with his duties as a knight, all the while seeking to devour the monsters that ravage his beloved countryside. Rath Dalcassian isn't having a good time, let me tell ya.
 * The Crusader State - Weary knights wage endless battle against bizarre horrors under a nameless sky. This place, this crusade, it is their punishment.  A fate of their own design, accepted by each of them.  A price paid for some unholy bargain.  Now they fight to keep it.
 * Esas - The Memory of a King lurks in the ruins of an ancient kingdom. Ruinous beings wielding elemental powers stalk the land.  Mysteries lie around every corner, beneath every stone.
 * Inheritors - Mankind is long dead and buried. The remnants of their mighty civilization lie in ruins, save for the wondrous Tiered City they built in defiance of the Gods.  Now the half-breed Children of Man, Inheritor and Disenfranchised alike, compete for scraps in the ruins of heaven.
 * Lord of Corpses - The Firebird of the West, The Horned Blaze, Star-Heart, The-One-Who-Owns-Us, Lord of Corpses, Dakhmabaan. HIS mighty empire rises in the land of the setting sun, pushing ever eastward into the squabbling lands before HIM.  HE will not be stopped unless the younger nations can put aside their differences to oppose HIM.
 * Nightworld - The Sun once shone upon this world. The kingdoms of mankind once flourished in Her light.  Alas, the Veil has been cast over the sky and even the Moon and Her Stars struggle to shine upon man.  Hell has arrived, come up to meet the innocent in their beds.
 * Wheel - Behold the Wheel, and see that It is all that Is. Behold Its shape and see Its name.  The Gods built It in the time before time, and It will last until the end of time.  But the Gods have left and their palace is guarded now by human volunteers.  The rapacious opulence of the Inner City is a stark contrast to the crumbling Wall that keeps the Void at bay.
 * Three Divinities - WIP

Urban Fantasy

 * Grand Unified Urban Fantasy Setting - Essentially, the baseline reality by which my urban fantasy settings tend to operate. Will henceforth be called Modern Magic for ease of writing.
 * 5uits - A continuity within Modern Magic, in which a cadre of rum runners find themselves in possession of a dangerous set of artifacts that just so happens to put them in the path to stop the end of the world once or twice. Remember when we were rum runners, Boss?  I remember.
 * Brandt Academy - A continuity within Modern Magic, in which a mystery lying at the heart of an academy dedicated to training the soldiers who uphold the Veil is uncovered by a group of plucky young people.
 * Drakespire - A continuity within Modern Magic, in which the Veil fell long ago. Now, monsters and magic are everyday sights.  Dragons pay federal taxes.  Atlantis was annexed by the United States back in '47 and still isn't a state.  Adad Zephani goes to the premiere college for magical studies in order to find his long-lost brother and beat the shit out of him.
 * Heck City - A continuity within Modern Magic, in which the Veil fell following a failed invasion attempt by the forces of Hell. Then the United States, bless their little warmongering hearts, decided to invade right back.  Now, Hell is cut up into pieces and split between the various nations of Earth.  Heck City, formerly the domain of Asmodeus (Demon Prince of Lust, natch), is the hottest vacation spot in Hell.  Not literally, that honor would have to go to Leviathan's old digs.  But it's pretty great.  Also, this setting is extremely horny.
 * Palatinate - There exists in the world a heavenly choir, a resplendent song that is all that is. Every living thing in the world contributes to this divine harmony, but a strange dissonant sound has begun to creep in around the edges.  Certain people have begun to hear the Song's call and take up arms against the evil seeking to throw the whole world out of balance.

Sci-Fi

 * The Gaping Earth - Long ago, Earth fell into the Gap, a place between places. Long ago, humanity took to the stars in a massive diaspora.  Now, evil megacorporations, Post-Christian warrior cults, a rogue AI obsessed with safeguarding mankind, and many others vie for power in a galaxy scarred by war.
 * Disposable Assets - China in the east, the United Nations in the west. Whether private or state-owned, corporations are the ruling powers of the day.  It's bloody business controlling the world, and the term "hostile takeover" has a whole new meaning when hungry, gun-toting beggars are willing to throw their lives away for in the hopes of getting their next meal.  It's bloody business, and business is booming.
 * Mauro City - As far as anyone can tell, the whole world might or might not be virtual reality. It's definitely a machine, and you can definitely hack it.  No one knows how they got there, and for the past seven generations, no one's really thought they'd ever get any answers.  Twenty years back, a genius hacker created the first Eidolon Program.  Unknowingly, they set the wheels of fate to turning.  Now, the city is breaking down and dangerous Eidolon Users battle with Rogue Programs in the streets.  The Dead Zones are spreading, getting bigger, more and more of the city is breaking down.  Twelve thousand square kilometers filled with shining city streets, and it's the whole world.  Not a bad place to spend the rest of your life.
