The world I have created for my
writing is a vast and mysterious place. Either that, or an incredibly
small and mysterious place. Feel free to pick one as you read on.
Imagine a grand archipelago, resting
upon a bed of merciless ocean, filled with strange creatures and
swelling tempests. Lurid jungles permeate the islands, all of them
teeming with life and swarming with death. Great volcanoes spew
superheated magma across the face of the keys, leaving scars of ash
and dust in their wake. Even stranger still, are the great machines
and structures that dot the landscape. This is a land of mystery,
where death is quick to silence you, and life is quick to remind you
that your turn is almost done.
Deep underground, seven thousand
people awake, and find themselves with no memory of their past. They
have are their names, a common language, and unique skills and
talents. To survive in this harsh archipelago, these people band
together, and form a civilization that would endure the savage forces
pitted against them for the centuries to come.
The key to their survival lay in the
machines they would come to discover. These machines gave them quick
access to technologies that would otherwise be beyond them. Water
purifiers, anti-gravitational field emitters, and other such marvels
quickly propelled this people into a society that hybridizes medieval
and modern cultures. Taking heed of the word written on many of these
great machines, this people came to call themselves, the Septem.
This
is merely a small taste of the world I have created, one written to
help familiarize all of you with the setting that will drive my
upcoming submissions. I will attempt to submit more detailed
explanations of my world and its history to this blog, in the hopes
that it will increase your interest and understand in and of my
works.
