I will be placing a period between the signs of something different and battlefield earth. it will be a good period Retro Engineering Boom aliens and the zones have gone public and the artifacts and technology found is now widely available beginning a technological boom. An age of discovery founded on the feet of retro engineering otherworldly technology. ( I will figure out the sheet on my phone or try to mess with it in the morning )

A species or reptilian crab like entities with four arms, chitinous exoskeletons, and snapping turtle like heads, they cannot speak and so communicate via sign language with outsiders while the communicate with pheromones with their own people. They have an odd and alien culture and specialize in bio engineering and symbiotes. Creating symbiotic implants and modifications and parasitic weapons. They are gentle odd giants and have a very insular and community based culture based are egg crèches

A species of people who look like anthropomorphic capybara. They have a whistling and barking language, but can speak other languages effectively. They are famous as traders and diplomats, though they have a dedicated order of those who seek relics and artifacts to empower their people. They also wield powerful and unique magics involving what appear to be force fields.

A race of tall lanky humanoids with long flowing white hair which hides their face except for their large expressive eyes and broad mouths full of chisel like teeth. They are great archers, and excel and woodcraft . Kinda like a yeti cousin it.. They are one of three heritage that do not come from the planet. They are tied to events from ages past and now have become just another heritage.

A colony of ardentfjell which is in open revolt. Its native people are matriarchal river boat people with platform villages deep in the swamps and flooded forests of the country. They have been pressed into service at the docks and foundries of Ardentfjell. Currently a zealous clan has begun to gather allies about them and have started waging a guerilla war on their colonizers.

Long ago a ship crashed to the worlds surface bringing with it peoples from far away and across the oceans of time. On an island in the southern hemisphere, there is a valley. That valley is truly a crater and overgrown and buried within it is a great ship. An arc which carried and carries mysteries and dangers beyond comprehension as well as possibly secrets tied to the origins of several peoples of the world.

Twice a year sparks and fire dance across the sky as a pattern is illuminated for the world to see. A glowing hex briefly illuminated as it is struck. There is a whole at the South Pole. Though it cannot be claimed that it is widely known. Though if you are in the far south you can see the edges as they spark and glow.

So the way I’m thinking we define themes and threats Then we discuss what’s here, make cuts or changes, and then I will add the full write ups I have as we cut things. Then we review again. ( we can work through section by section World, Bestiary, and Heritages ) I can also answer any questions, provide magic systems that each culture / heritage has etc

The truly deepest and darkest parts of earth be it the ocean or the depths of the labyrinth are home to alien beings and great power. The sea is rumored to contain gateways to a realm known as the abyss and creatures freely travel between the planes making deep ocean travel tantamount to suicide.

This is an old world that has been through the circle of ages more than anyone still living knows. With the past and mythology becoming one and the same and the truth being muddled. Once long ago the world was as a fantasy would be expected to be but the wheel of ages has turned and now only twisted memories remain. Who knows what comes with the next age and what will usher it in.

A highly detailed and intricate weird fantasy world influenced by he-man, thunder cats, every fantasy book I’ve ever read etc. I want a strong and reasonably filled out sandbox of a world that contains the most absolutely wild shit but is crafted lovingly and intelligently in a way that interconnects and makes sense and isn’t just stuff thrown at the wall. I want a weird fantasy world that gives us several different flavors and vibes of fantasy to explore. It should have an original feel that evokes nostalgia for pulp fantasy media and literature.

Beneath portions and possibly all of the world lie a network of lava tunnels, caverns, caves, and odd carved and engineered spaces. These spaces specifically exist in concentrated levels around the crescent of fire an arch of volcanoes and volcanic planes in the south eastern portion of the world. These tunnel networks extend deeper than anyone knows and it is claimed that deep enough strange alien beasts live.

The southern continents of the world are dotted with towering black obelisks made of a greasy matte stone covered in unknown script. Less common but more troubling are the ancient and massive sealed ziggurats made of the same black stone. These massive tiered structures are carved with alien beasts geometric designs and alien scripts.

A small coastal town that has held on to its freedom and might and money make right approach to business and existence in general. It is a hub of scum and villainy while also being one of the best places to gather information, goods, and services on the planet. This small coastal town has turned into a sprawling city, which has then grown into a sprawling territory encompassing several cities in the plains and desert around the city which originally started as oasis rest stops which have grown into cities of their own.

The Bastion Lands are a smattering of countries which were former Muscov territories which fought for and won their freedom during the Musocv revolution. They are a true melting pot of cultures and countries with fluid borders and identities as they war and stabilize with one another and the outside world begins to aid and influence things.
