Myria world of Aura and Magic

Welcome to Myria a world where aura and magic clashes. It is a world full of monsters, masters and hidden plots. Of course most people are simple: Farmers or Guards, people with no higher hopes than make a good living for themselves and their offspring.
This is a deeply divided world, races distrust and go to war, humans are seen with the same scorn that they let other races feel. Nobles stand above commoners to play with their lives while they themselves do their utmost to survive the hidden threats that their rank brings.
Magic and Aura are the mainstays of power, Mages advance through 9 circles and Aura users through 9 gates to become living legends or beings close to gods, but of course this is not for everyone. Commoners are often shunned from practicing those abilities no matter their talent.

Can you make a difference in this world? Or will you just survive the hidden tides that threaten all that is?

This is made with my Aura and Magic mods, if you like to add them to your world too.
I am still building this up, so if you want me to add things, just tell me in the comments or in the discord.

The Final Architecture by Adrian Tchaikovsky 5/5

So I wanted to recommend a book series I recently finished: The Final Architecture.

Or: How to write a 40k story so that Mass effect fans would enjoy it.

It is a space opera series of three books playing in a universe with aliens, ftl travel and space monsters.

Worldbuilding:(5/5)
The worldbuilding is one of the strong points. We have alien aliens, interesting worlds, a sensible build of human civilization and diaspora after earth destruction, an interesting method of ftl, etc. For 40k fans, many things will seem like easter eggs: The sister of battle faction, the Tau faction, unspace as warp but only with one demon. Still it is toned way down in most aspects, so if you dont like the over the top approach of 40k it still is for you.

Story:(4/5)
The story is interesting and solid. No absolute suprising plot twists, but its also not totally predictable. Despite the multiple view points its easy to follow the red line through. Also some genuine suprises are hidden and the scenes with action are written quite well.

Cast:(4/5)
So while the book has multiple view points 90% are the crew of the main ship, which somewhat limits the view we have. Only in the last book the author uses more viewpoints too. Still the cast behaves reasonable besides idris (who in fairness is mentally unstable, never sleeps, is old af and is the survivor of a mind breaking operation, so that checks out.) To be fair there have been many points while reading, where i wanted to scream at idris to get his shit together, but i think that is what the author intended

Scifi/Fantasy scale: So on the balance of scifi to fantasy, this one clearly sits on the scifi side with 90/10 at least. Some stuff about unspace and Intermediaries goes into the psychic fantasy range but on general in contrast to 40k this stays clear of any magic shenaningans. Technically the Tothiat also go into fantasy, but thats a minor thingy.

Politics: Many politics but no judgment. I think the most political message you could read out is: "Feudal lords are bad" which seems pretty tame. Beyond that multiple different political systems are introduced with pros and cons, so if you like an unpolitical book with politicians another point here.

Stakes:(5/5)
The stakes are clear through the whole series. The architects are a world destroying threat that constantly haunts every action, while the crew and people have real things happening to them, people get hurt and die, but not all the time. So you fear for characters but also dont get the feeling that everyone is going to die

All in all i would totally recommend this if you are into big space opera

Broken Skies and Bleeding Sands

[Horror,Western,Lovecraftian,Survival,Action]
The war ended when the sky broke: Just as the north and the south were battling it out, something returned, something old and evil that cared little for the puny wars of humans.

Now a decade later the war is forgotten, though conflict is still lingering. But in the new wild west, humans are cooperating out of necessity. Each shadow might birth a new horror and too many settlements have vanished, swallowed by the sands.

The Wildest West

A Scenario about the wild west if all the tropes get turned up to 11.

You have come to the Wild west fair near Austin in Texas. You see people screaming Yeehaw and Cowboys decked out with enough colts to arm a small army. It is fun in the silly way of people celebrating something they love but did not experience.

But as you enter the Saloon suddenly everything shifts, the costumes stay the same but somehow the people seem more ... serious about them. Also you feel suddenly a hot wind breathing down your neck instead of some cooled air.

Is this still the fair?

Thanks to Leah for Inner Self and Autocards.

Exalted

https://alpha.voyage.io/world/26zABihyFP59/exalted?share=true&published=true

This is the world of creation. Once formed by the Primordials in the endless chaos. The gods, children of the Primordials created the exalted, mortal heroes imbued with the power of gods to fight the Creators of the world. The exalted one and under the leadership of the solar exalted a golden age was ushered in.

You are one of those exalted. But creation has changed. The solar exalted, the strongest of the exalted were overthrown by the Dragon Blood exalted and the Sidereal exalted after their power drove them to madness, they run the show now. The dragon blooded as the obvious leaders and the sidereals hidden behind the workings of fate. The Lunar exalted the former partners of the solar return to challenge the Empire of the Dragonblooded and the Abyssal - solar exalted twisted by the imprisoned primordials - try to undo creation. Burn your path in glory through this world.

Possible Exalted:
Solar exalted: The absolute best at what they do. Strong, tough, charismatic a flaming banner of heroism, sadly now hunted by the world.
Lunar exalted: The former partners of the Solars. Shapechanging wild bunch that hates what happened to creation and more or less directly try to challenge the status quo.
Dragon Blood exalted: The current masters of creation. The weakest exalted but also the most numerous, with elemental powers and a whole empire behind them.
Sidereal Exalted: Chosen by fate, these exalted try to keep creation running and their powers are less direct but no less effective than others.
Abyssal Exalted: People who died and got offered a second chance with a twisted solar essence shard. Now their one job is to undo creation, but the primordials dont care much where they start with the undoing.

Or as someone else put it so much better:

Exalted is a game where one of your main antagonists is Death, Creator of the Underworld. Except there's actually several of them, probably six or seven. Oh, and they’ve got 13 dread henchmen doing all the heavy lifting for them , one of whom was probably the other half of your soul in a past life (literally, not as in soulmate).
Also, Hell as both a faction and a living landscape has a personal grudge against you for mutilating them into insane demons.

Magical Rome/Persia/China regularly trains and sends ninja-monks out for you personally. Ninjas specially trained in coordinated Elementalism and sundry other forms of magic asskicking. And if that doesn't work, they keep giant color-coded gundams and suits of power armor as backups.

The Jedi Council has corrupted Heaven and usurped your rightful place as the Masters of Everything - but nobody can remember them. The only reason they haven't hunted you down is that they're too busy trying to keep reality from imploding.

Your ex-wife dropped by; she's a two thousand year old shapechanging man-eating monster, interested in maybe going on a date next Thursday for dinner, followed by breeding a new race capable of rewriting the biosphere.

Your best friend from growing up -and your last life- now seeks to cover all the lands of Middle Earth in darkness, if he can just find this damn ring.

Your god has the world's biggest drug habit, and needs some serious rehab.

You may bump into some fairies, but instead of granting wishes, they eat people's souls.

And yet, in theory, you think you can fix everything!
Welcome to Creation, kid!
Hope you've got enough Essence!
Have Fun.

You

Steamcroft

The world of Steanor runs on steam and faith. On the continent of Meonar, industrial kingdoms wage cold wars through machines, assassins, and trade — Eurella with its steampuppets and arc weapons, Pomner with its sun god and burning conviction, Theraria with its fading glory and hidden knives. Above them all, the Berillan Air Tribes drift in airship flotillas, a people without a homeland selling their skill to the kingdom that destroyed it. Now the kingdoms reach across the Ocean of Mist — weeks of fog, monsters, and madness — to Debalia, the new world. A continent of jungle, swamp, and mountains where colonial settlements cling to the coast and the Remni tribes fight to keep what has always been theirs. Lightning silver lies in the mountains. Fortunes lie in the soil. Death lies in everything else. But beneath the industry and the ambition, the old gods stir. Cthulhu dreams beneath the ocean. Yogg Shagoth offers knowledge that blinds. Nyarlathotep displaces the unwary. Their influence bleeds through wherever the barrier between worlds thins, corrupting flesh and breaking minds. The only reliable defense is faith in a sun god who may not exist — but whose Hymn pushes back the dark regardless. Steam or sorcery. Faith or madness. The fog is rising.

The Meridian Cluster

The year is approximately 2500. Humanity has spread across the Milky Way, built hyperlane networks between the stars, and split into three factions that cannot agree on what civilization should look like.
The Solar Alliance is the largest — over a hundred worlds governed by a democratic council that answers, in practice, to six dynastic families who control the infrastructure everything runs on. The Commune of Free Systems broke away a century ago to build something based on cooperative economics and direct democracy, and has been fighting a low-intensity war with the Alliance ever since. The Valor Empire was founded by an explorer who discovered a Precursor starship of extraordinary power and used it to carve out a feudal kingdom where technology flows from the throne. Three alien species share this space.
The Orions are small, four-armed, and integrated into human society in technical roles — legally equal citizens whose experience of that equality varies. The Spareen are genetically self-modifying aliens carrying inherited knowledge from an intergalactic origin they cannot fully remember. The Thrisk are enormous, communal, and fundamentally incomprehensible — they do not recognize borders, do not honor treaties, and do not regard humanity as peers. Two rare resources fuel everything: Grunstein for faster-than-light travel, Chengtou for advanced technology. Rejuvenation treatments let the wealthy live indefinitely. The Precursors who built the technology that shapes the Cluster vanished millions of years ago. Earth was evacuated three centuries back and its survivors were left behind.

You can be anyone — a station mechanic, a frontier captain, a corporate heir, a Commune soldier, an Empire commoner, a Spareen wanderer, or an Orion engineer. The Cluster is vast enough for any story you want to tell.

Essentially a joke scenario on the lost&found theme. Enjoy the original (or so i have been told) ai dungeon experience from way back.

This time without inner self and autocards as it would actively harm the intention. Instead it works with a script that will change the genre each X actions.

Are you annoyed by bad politics in good books?

Hello,

so a genuine question: You read a book about space travel, exploding robots and border beyond time and space, but always throught the pages you glimpse at the authors political believes and they just ... dont square with yours at all. Would you still read the book or would you put it away?

I recently finished Pandoras Star and Judas Unchained and both are terrific books. Especially the changing viewpoints are made excellent and the world building is solid.

But its pretty clear that the author is a raging Neoconservative and fan of Plutocracy. And i dont mean his characters but the author himself writes as if such a thing is inevitable and right and rich people should have all the power. Which is not what i believe in.

I recently asked a question here about it because of that and Im glad i finished the books. But it annoyed me quite a bit. After all I also read the Posleen War saga and the author there has even worse views, though he keeps it luckily way shorter.

So my question: Is that a thing for you? Do you get annoyed when authors glorify something you find appaling or do you stop reading? Perhaps its just a me thing
