The Realms

Every world begins with a single idea.
Sometimes a whisper.
Sometimes a question.
Sometimes the faint sense that a story is already waiting, long before its pages are written.

These are the realms that emerged from those moments — different in shape and tone, yet connected by a thread that runs beneath them all.


Imperium

A vast Roman-in-space saga spanning thousands of star systems.
Empires rise, fall, and rise again.
Solar sails catch the winds of starlight.
Starsingers bend geometry to open the paths between suns.

And at the center of it all lies a single question:
What does it mean to build a free world?


Praevia Astra (Imperium Prequels)

Before empires, there are choices.
Before legends, there are secrets.

These stories reveal the early fractures, hidden alliances, and forgotten sparks that shaped the age to come.
The past does not sleep.
It waits.


Shadows & Dreams

A realm where Celtic myth walks beside the unseen.
Faeries, shadow-beings, dream-travelers — all moving through a landscape shaped as much by imagination as by reality.

Light has its secrets.
Shadow has its price.

The Land of Dreams is not merely entered.
It is earned.


Whiskers

On the eve of the First World War, destiny stirs.
Dragon-shifting guardians awaken.
Magic brushes the edges of a world racing toward conflict.

History bends in small places first — in a whisper, in a choice, in the flicker of wings no one is meant to see.

Some stories roar.
Others wait in quiet places until the right moment comes.


Aia the Barbarian

Steel. Ruins. Prophecy.

A world forged in myth and conflict, where gods once walked and their echoes still shape the living.
Aia moves through this landscape as both wanderer and catalyst — a reminder that change rarely arrives gently.


Fantasy Imperium

A historical-fantasy roleplaying system built from the real magic, lore, and beliefs of the medieval world.
No inventions. No shortcuts.

Only the myths people truly feared… or trusted.

A gateway into living history — and the shadows beyond its edge.


Every realm has its own voice.
Its own gravity.
Its own truths.

And each one is connected, in ways that reveal themselves only when you’re ready to see them.

Step carefully.
Wander freely.
The worlds are already awake.
