My settings

G'day loyal(?) readers. Now I know I can use that 's' :). I wanted to talk about my settings here. I've been working with one of my settings on this blog, and it is a fairly normal fantasy setting. Dwarves, elves, dragons, magic, knights with big swords, and all that. I also have a few other settings I'm working on.

My 'Worlds crash' setting is set in our world, only it has 'collided' with a fantasy world. Suddenly we have magic, and therefore dragons, vampires, zombies. Different places treat them differently, but friction and therefore action ensures.

My 'Spacerift' setting is based, well, in space. This is not a place you'd want to live in though, corporations have set up harsh totalitarian dictatorships, and control almost all the money there is. Most people work for the system, but a few 'Riftpirates' work against it, making a criminal living by smuggling mainly, but often worse crimes. Genetic modification has lead to different species of humans created for specific tasks. The Krox for example are large four armed monsters with heightened aggression, strength, reactions and resilience, bred to be soldiers, whereas the 'Spacers' are lithe 6 fingered pilots whose enhanced reaction speeds and delicate movements make them natural pilots, but their fragile bone system will break and shatter under normal gravity.

There are others, but my fantasy setting (aka. the 'Erondian' setting or the 'Firstworld' setting) will be the one I work with most. Unless I state otherwise, all my stories from here on in will be set in my Firstworld setting, but the others will apear from time to time. Cheers all, and thanks for reading this.
