Hey hey hey! I'm Simonpet, owner of the game, and I'd like to give you a warm welcome to our litter corner of the world. If you'd like to be a bit more active in the community, we have a Discord server so just PM me and I'll send you the link. Now, there are many names and faces, so I'd like to present you a list of the more notable ones.
My first village is Black Rock Weyrhold, the only peaceful empire around here and one of the few survivors of V1. My second village is Gold and Iron, which is one of the few villages trying to live in the modern age. And by that, I mean they use guns and swords in equal amounts. Because swords are cool. Spookypuff is a fellow mod and her village, Zaffari, is a simple beanbag-and-minidragon-loving village. Hazil is another mod and her village, Mekhanikos, is composed of sad metal and rock people; they're sad because they haven't been touched in two years and totally not for any other reasons.
We can now move on to our players' villages! Arya is one of our longest players and her first village, Cyrrane, is one of the OGs and claims to be a feel-good LOTR-style village with very wholesome people. We'll see how long this lasts. Her second village, Skýja Eyjum, is much younger and more chaotic; it's a sky village where 90% of the population is female and the rest is gay. Cham is another of our oldest members, currently writing for Kanaka Helu, where she embraces her compulsion to make entire stories for every post...and then needing to make said posts in real time, and is writing for the Thestral Society, which is like Harry Potter except actually willing to explore the implications of the setting.
Our middle children from V2 are also wonderful for having stuck around despite everything. w0ah's village, Fenguard, is a loyal and protective herd of centaur-folk in the fen. Don't mess with the centaurs, peeps! Likewise, beware jazz's Carmina Abyssi, a notoriously violent group of underwater folk who hate everyone and each other.
The baby players from V3 are no less dear to us. Kaitō has two villages: Maple Cove, which lives on a cliff (not a cove) and is the world's home to Treesharking, and Black Crystal, a collection of idiots trapped in a magical underground cavern system. Lumos12 also has two villages but her pair couldn't be more different from each other: Serendipity is a 1920s supernatural town while Glenana is, and I quote, the "worldbuilding project from hell". Like many of our newer players, broken also has two villages. Her first, The Unseen (not named after the number of times I forgot to reply to her village), are the biggest human-haters you'll ever see. Anyone else is welcome, though! Her second, Rlung Temple, is a more light-hearted ATLA-inspired floating sky temple. We end the list with sharpie, one of our saner members who has only Ataraxy, composed of strange humans who live on a ringworld. (Go read Larry Niven to understand!)
I hope that this gives you a little insight into our wonderfully crazy community and that you have a fantastic time here.
