[This world is small. The land is not connected to nor do their waters share seas with other lands. Far out on the horizon is nothing but titan sized mountains that dwarf what previously is known. Like a wall they keep all safely inside. As a result none know what is beyond the walls. Those who do hold forbidden knowledge. Texts from Ancient Relics have called what is beyond the walls as no less than pure chaos.

All sorts of mythical beasts exist on these lands. They are however dwarfed by the various dragons that dominate the lands. Thus most mythical beasts are rare or scarce. Wild life matches these beasts and thus even normal creatures like Deer or wolves are enlarged, up to several fold in some cases. Trees and vegetation grows to scale with this. There are still normal sized animals as we know who live in small niches across the lands. However not ever single animal can exist or be found here, just the most common.]

"The wisdom of alchemy is the light that guides humanity's evolution. Without it, we are nothing but a bunch of apes and monkeys."

"To link the heavens with the earth. That is my ultimate dream."

She usually wears her custom-made outfit as seen in the picture above. She likes the style and the ease of mobility her outfit provides without losing its elegance.

"I'm flattered that there are people who build statues of me out there. But my accomplishments are still paltry conpared to that of my ancestors."

She is a confident young woman that is used to be the one in charge, as she has numerous homonculi under her command. When a theory of hers doesn't work, she is quick to reconsider her way of thinking and to examine other possibilities. She loves her work and is a hard worker, leading to her working until late in the night almost every day without any holidays.

"Spirits only exist on Earth, proving how life never bloomed on the moon. But now that we have gardens on the moon, would the spirits come out to play there as well?"

She was born to the illustrious Terminus family as the eldest daughter. Her mother was an alchemist as well while her father was an outsider who worked as a simple fisherman.

It was soon clear that she had a talent that far outstripped her mother.

In her youth, she succeeded in inventing the interplanetary warp gate, allowing instantaneous transfer between the earth and the moon. It was a feat though to be impossible, as there were no leylines for the two gates to connect with through space. But with her genius, she used the light from the moon itself to connect the warpgates, as moonlight was already proven to possess sacred power that gave rise to lunar spirits that appeared only when the moon was full.

Now, her object of study was the yet unknown source of moonlight's power; how it managed to distinguish itself from sunlight. Her ultimate goal however was the travel to faraway planets, as there were no other planets near the Earth.

"As proven by the ancient ruins scattered all over the world, interplanetary travel is a true possibility. And I intend to discover its secret before I die."

She possesses a super genius level of intellect. And she's capable of utilizing pretty much any alchemical tools and devices in her world. She is a master in manipulating ether via her staff, which usually remains dormant as her
hairpin.

In combat, she could use her staff to manipulate funnels that fire off ether beams to her opponents. Or she could combine them to generate one giant ether energy beam. She could also create ether barriers with it.

In her belt pouch, which is bigger in the inside, she stores all kinds of alchemical items. From medicine that could heal a wound no matter how grave in an instant, to a device that could call down space rays from the heavens to strike her opponents.

"The leylines between worlds... they must exist!"

She's as squishy as a normal human without her equipment. And she's not capable of using magic, only manipulating ether through her staff. Intellect-wise, her world doesn't really employ computers or AIs, so she would know nothing about the subject.

"Marriage? I don't see myself marrying anytime soon. Don't worry about it, we live until 300 years old after all. There is still plenty of time for that!"

She has no interest in romance whatsoever, despite being in the eligible age range. Just like her peers, really

The civilizations of the Entropyverse are in their decline. None know what exactly caused The New Ice Age but it only left the strongest and the ever-vigilant to roam the hellish landscape. Generations of people have only known the embrace of the cold, with the cover of night being impossible for anyone to traverse. While most of the world’s knowledge was lost, the advances of the Analogue Coal Revolution sustain the few pockets of society that still thrive. Steam Automatons do the majority of natural resource exploitation for the larger cities, while a giant monolith known as a Coal Core generates the life sustaining heat for all known settlements in the Entropyverse.
As with any society, people needed purpose once survival was secured. Most turned to local, authoritarian polities to run their lives. Some, however, have turned to faith in new world gods such as the Sea Falkyir who styles himself as the Norse god Odin’s champion, encouraging his flock to raid the weak for their resources, or the Wickermen who preach that burning unbelievers and their possessions will bring the age of frost to an end. Bastions of democracy are far and few but the most prominent is the S.F.I. Alpine Federation, who have organized professional mercenary militias to enrich their state and bring weaker settlements under their influence.

Even in the apocalypse, man still is caught in its petty squabbles. Soon, they will realize that the frozen wastes will only leave kings of ice and death.

The Falkyrian Sworn Lands: Covering a vast land with sparse settlements that range from old London to Helsinki, this coalition of states is governed by local nobles that all swear fealty to the Sea Falkyir, sending troops and tribute on a regular basis. The Sea Falkyir title that can be claimed by any of the nobles that kills the reigning liege in single, melee combat. Otherwise, it goes to the last Sea Falkyir’s eldest child. The ceremonial seat of power is located in the Danish city of Helsingborg, which contains an artificial warm water port due to having a collection of Coal Cores dedicated to defrosting the area. The current administration’s grand vision is to either construct or steal more Coals Cores to heat up their coast lines and enable ship routes to prosper once more.

S.F.I. Alpine Federation: The old Swiss state had no choice but to annex the surrounding French and Italian lands once anarchy had come with the frost. Continuing their tradition of neutrality was no longer feasible as raiders and would-be-conquerors knocked at the foot of their mountain homes. Soon, they became the conquerors as they continued to reclaim much of the Mediterranean in the name of protecting the weak and their coal supply. Governed by an elected council of statesmen, they practice democracy though the price of being a citizen in this idealistic federation is military service. Those who do not comply are simply sent labor camps or left to die outside their city walls. The current capital is Vienna, a city still renowned for its beauty.

Oxbridge Campus: Born from the ashes of old educational institutions, this minor settlement houses less than a hundred people yet continues to exist due to its self-sufficiency and advanced weaponry. Their food is grown in greenhouses powered by their Coal Core while their seemingly endless coal supply is kept secret from the world at large. Though their walls are guarded with combat ready Automatons, most would rather trade with the Campusineans or hire their scientists and engineers. Unfortunately, Wickerman raids have increased in frequency over the years and has made the inhabitants weary.

Wickermen: Though they lack a central authority figure, the Wickerman ideology has spread like the fire that they wield. Only two things are for certain and those are the facts that they could be anyone and that they feed on the desperation of people.



Steam Automatons: Ranging from person-sized robots that can be programmed to do menial tasks all the way to giant mobile fortresses. They usually run on coal that gets converted to steam.

Coal Cores: Claimed to be the invention of the century before calamity had hit the Entropyverse. These giant metal pyres are responsible for heat, energy, and hope. As the name implies, they run on coal.

Weapons: The majority of states supply late 19th century muskets to their infantrymen while artillery is usually mounted on specialized Steam Automatons. The exception is Oxbridge Campus, which use specialized defensive installments such as flamethrowers, gas shells, Maxim guns, and scoped freeshooter rifles.

Communications: Telegraph is the most advanced form of messaging available. Due to the required maintenance of wires, this is only available to select settlements such as the capitals of the major states.

^Fantasy

Asnoga is a universe with a slightly weakened dimensional barrier, allowing aetherial energy of it's surrounding subrealms to seep into the realm, having a drastic effect on it. For this reason, most inhabitants of Asnoga are affected by it's surrounding celestial bodies, giving them a degree of mastery over it. Each human born is attuned to a specific flavor of aether, which is infused with their very being. Each aether is distinct, and can determine what set of abilities the Asnogan would be able to master.
Through training, it is possible to become attuned to two separate aethers, adopting another into your form, but choosing to specialize in two different ones prevents you from fully mastering either.

Solarus - Might, Flame, Exaltation, Greatness - Solarus is a symbol of power and command, their radiant power shining over the day. No mortal has the permission to look upon his blinding glory without their eyes being damaged, not even their own chosen.

Lunaro - Change, The Hunt, Nature, Stealth - When Solarus rests during the day, Lunaro resumes their watch, gazing over the night and providing a reprieve to Solarus's crushing presence. Just like her chosen, Lunaro constantly changes, shrinking and growing with each passing night.

Palladis - Fortitude, Purity, Medicine, Protection - Unlike Solarus, who rests for several hours, and Lunaro, who only appears in his absence, Palladis is always present. While not as large or powerful as Solarus, Palladis remains constantly in the sky as a bright sphere of light, symbolizing his chosen's vigilance and fortitude.

Venerem - Endurance, Humility, Wisdom, Exploration - To witness Venerem, one must venture away from the cluster of civilization. Only then is Venerem visible, a heartening and beautiful display of light that enlightens those who watch it. Most of Venerem's chosen appear in the fringe of civilization, where they may be able to witness it.

Abaddon - Death, Glutton, Ambition, Nothingness - Abaddon was once beautiful and grand, even more so than Solarus. But then they shattered, becoming a warped abomination of what they once were. Now Abaddon is an empty, null of a subrealm, seeking only to devour everything it can without relent.

• Humans - Humans of this world have been tempered by the Aether that seeps into Asnoga, giving each one an affinity on birth. Outside of a few subracial families, whatever Aether a human is attuned with when they are born is completely random. Each human also has a birthmark of whatever Aether they possess, which grows in size and detail as they do.
