Just someone who likes ladies in proper armor, sci-fi, and stories with transhumanist themes.

Very slow release schedule because I just have way too much lore written and it's taking me a while to get it all into proper lorebooks and all. In case anyone is curious for some teasers, it's all mainly in one homebrew world of mine, Iridan. It's hard to fully pin it in a specific genre because that would necessitate compressing about ~3000 years of history and technological advancement so it'd be easier to break it down by eras.

Anything that is Iridan can be found with the #Iridan tag, and I'll be using Era tags also to give a broad scope.

_________________________________________________________________

Anything before EL846 or so is going to be pretty much medieval fantasy-esque with quite a few twists. Everything before EL0 will just be under the EraPregenesis tag, and stuff between EL0 and EL846 will just be under EraDarkAges.

From EL846 onwards some small industrial and steampunk elements will start creeping in with more magitech-esque hybrids as societies keep innovating and responding to pressures until you hit the Era of Strife in ~EL1270. Everything here will just be under the EraPreEOS tag.

The Era of Strife is a period of quite a bit of global conflicts and interests clashing with quite a bit of rapid advancements until the modern era in ~1588 at which point the setting is fully Magitek or Dungeonpunk or whatever you want to call it.

The Era of Strife itself will just be EraOfStrife, and stuff after will be EraModern.

Welcome to Xingtze (星子). Here, dreams are not merely fantasy They are delivered. Have you an innovation? Write to Nieuwlicht, Tijmond. Fair terms. No dream too small.

====================================================

---
Welcome to Iridan, a world where gods walk amongst humanity. When they descended, some were driven by fury, others by reckoning, and some by wonder. Empires were built in their shadows. Empires were built to oppose them. They stayed nonetheless.

The last great war ended not in fire, but a slow, grinding silence with every power still holding its line. In the north, a dragon god teaches supremacy, while the islands whet their blades, and the fjords put out for plunder.
In the east, crowns hold their thrones by alliances none of them trust. In the south, gods make war on magic itself, while the shadow of man carves out a legacy of its own. And in the west? Everything has a price.

Set in Xingtze, on the plain of the Zens, in the Evenlight season of the 1540s. It is the breadbasket between the empires, and it has never been ruled by outside hands, only administered. No capital rules her. Power sits in her five cities: Tijmond, the greatest city between the empires, home to near a million souls; Anwerd the sentinel, Oldermark the farmer, Zeewerf the shipwright, and young Ostwal on the eastern roads, raised upon the crests of refugees. Noordhaven, the sixth, the lost sister, has been held by Zhao since its own the founding wars. An assembly nominally binds them. It meets twice a year to exchange favors, policies, and kompromat, and the markets go on either way. The assembly binds the great houses, and the great houses rule: they and their signs own the exchanges, the underwriting ring beneath them prices every risk on the plain, and a word said once in a counting-room does more than a vote.

A hundred altars line the roads. The orders of the White Tiger keep the peace alongside the town militias. The standing army came down from an imperial garrison the north abandoned, and its families still argue over which homeland they kept faith with. The quiet war is fought by paid hands under one premier rule: so long as it does not disrupt the livelihood of craftsmen and flow of goods. Every autumn the season's companies ride west with the harvest, and the rate-sheets print the only honest account of who is winning. At the plain's center is Tijmond, the tide-mouth. The Mirror Quarter burns rune-light over the sign-houses. The exchanges sit above and the undertow runs beneath. The Conciliators of the Free Cities Concord, more commonly known as \"The Guild\", keeps its narrow book in a city where every other book is for sale.

How you came to this land matters less than what you aspire to to achieve.
You might be a simple traveler passing through or looking for opportunity amongst its cities. You might be one of its many cogs getting by.

Scenario Options:

1. The Rondine - A passenger liner approaching the city of Zeewerf, and everyone aboard has a reason to be going west.

The Evenlight Gala - One night a year, at the most opulent venue in the pearl of the west.
Tijimond Undercity - Whatever brought you here is your own business, but some else's problems are about to become everyone's problems.
