Lore

Roughly 100 years ago the Winged Tree moved out of the Storywarp and created a solar system

to house their former home. Their soul became a star, anchored at the center. Their spirit then

drifted out and created the rest. 

Mercury was made to match the real Mercury, with the exception of a small forest. This forest

had a clearing with a stone tower and a log cabin. Mercury, like the majority of terrestrial

bodies of this solar system, has gravity and an atmosphere to match Earth’s.

Venus was made to be tidally locked with the sun, meaning one side is always day and the other

always night. In the band of twilight going around the planet lived the elves and other creatures

in a fae forest. The sunny deserts of the day side were mostly uninhabited, while the night side

had a frozen ocean home to merfolk and other sea life. 

In place of Earth was the Storywarp itself, always flickering and changing. Trailing behind the

Storywarp was the Timeline, where stories of history are recorded. 

Mars was made to be a dusty craggy landscape with few forests. Here lived dwarves, orcs,

goblins and various other trouble makers. 

The Asteroid Belt was thickened, and Ceres was left uninhabited by sentient species, however

several biomes matching Earthen wilderness were installed. Most asteroids are like islands of

livable terrain floating in a great ring.

Jupiter and Saturn were both left unchanged but their moons were developed with biomes like

Ceres and the Asteroid Belt.

Uranus and Neptune and their moons were much more alien sci-fi. There was flora and fauna

but very little of it matched what is known on Earth.  

The Kuiper Belt was full of asteroids, not to mention more dwarf planets like Pluto, Eris,

Haumea, and Makemake. There was still life out here, but it was more rare. Things mostly

looked like normal deep space. 

Past the Kuiper Belt is the Oort Cloud Firmament, a sort of cosmic wall, and beyond that are

the Constellations.

Roughly 70 years ago some elves traveled off Venus using leaf-like solar sails. They met with

dwarves on Mars and together two small groups journeyed further to Ceres the Asteroid Belt.

They settled in and their offspring were humans. 

Roughly 12 years ago the flux of the Storywarp stuttered and split causing the whole thing to pause

in a way. Sigmund came from the Timeline, landed on Mercury, claimed the tower and flew to the

moon. Anders came from a story, traveled to more stories, noticed a pattern, and tried to travel to

the core of the Storywarp. His attempts created the Watershed Nations in the Firmament.
