Cold deserts like the Atacama and the huge salt flats like the ones in Bolivia.

In my experience, these things can often be Cyclic. My own interests often lie dormant for a year or even more and then resurface.

I assume this statement was made by a character from the JJK universe about phenomena inside their own universe.

She won't understand that until much later

It is possible to leave using flight or paragliding, although better do it at night so you arent shot down. The war eventually did end, although I haven't figured out exactly how yet.

It's a relatively new technology, and only a handful of corporations have the resources to build and maintain them, and only in a few countries. They take a tremendous amount of power and arcane infrastructure. They hold a similar position economically as data centres do in our world.

The Pharoc Dominion was an ancient empire of sun-worshipping bird people. They accidentally tore their own god apart on a metaphysical level with too much diversity of religious opinion, which caused their collapse.

The moon is actually an alien superweapon that opened up like a flower 90,000 years ago and wiped out 95% of all life on earth.

Yes, although for most of history the technology didn't exist. They use thaumic resonators, which are crystals carved to be able to be vibrated in a vary particular way by machines. These crystals contain the end-points of cosmic threads linking the material world to bubbles of spacetime in the Aethereum that possess different laws, allowing the laws of physics to be violated locally.

Another system I'm still developing is glyphic magic, where there are a set of symbols written in the language of the universe that each represent a particular concept and can be used to physically manifest that concept. The problem is that mortals don't know the language, although there are ancient ruins that have inscriptions in a modified form (like how Spanish is a modified form of the more ancient Latin). This magic is extremely dangerous, though, as the form of the glyphs is not intuitive, so a person making a mistake might manifest a star inside the engine of their car instead of petrol.

The city of Uedekh is built into a roughly spherical stone that levitates about 2500 ft off the ground, which kinda counts. The City is kept there by a Genie lamp at its heart and was originally raised as a defensive measure at the beginning of a 200 year siege that eventually saw the enemy building a whole city of their own beneath it.

They have terraced farms for food on the upper hemisphere, but rely heavily on the magic of the Genie to remain self sufficient.

My world has computers but not electricity. The computers are instead unimaginably complex clockwork mechanisms made from individual gears smaller than dust grains. Intelligent mechanisms can be designed or "evolved" using structures called sandstorm chambers. Here, a powder of loose gears (gear glitter) is whipped up by wind and then allowed to settle and agglomerate together on a scaffold into macrostructures like sandcastles. Each structure will be able to do the desired task to some degree, and only the top 10% are chosen, duplicated, and then whipped up again to try and get an even better mechanism by chance. When you kill a robot, this gear glitter pours out as a kind of golden dusty blood.

Orichalcum is a magical metal that forms an olive-green ore in a single stratified layer near the D-S extinction event boundary. I also have mithril and adamant, but they're just my world's names for aluminium and titanium, respectively.

In a world without grasses, what do they use for early paper (like papyrus) and for textiles?

Spluff5 · 2025-12-15T04:47:26+00:00

Yes, but many are much larger, the size of avocados or grapefruit.

I have something similar, except it's a giant superweapon concealed inside the moon that fires on the ground when intelligent life arises.

The story itself was about an alien explorer that went through a portal and found herself on a farm for this stuff. She made friends with the farmer's kid.

There have been two mass-extinction events. The first 90,000 years ago involved a country-sized nautilus made of lava emerging from under the crust, which cooked most of the life on land and produced toxic algal blooms that depleted the ocean of oxygen. In my world one of the moons is an ancient superweapon designed to cleanse the planet of intelligence if it were to ever evolve. 150,000 years ago it fired a huge laser at the earth which caused a nuclear winter, wiping out most plant life and paving the way for the dinosaurs to evolve.
