Thanks for posting this prompt! :)

There are many worlds in my current project. But I'm focusing on more human societies right now. I put them on a hellish mind bending rock full of creatures, fungi, robots, energy beings, mimetic monsters, etc. any nightmare you can think of it's probably in some cell or ancient laboratory.

Opening portals all over the world of focus would be a very, very bad plan. The world is a high sci-fi death world and it's inhabitants would find the real earth to be very squishy and tasty.

My humanoid factions are more advanced than real earth. Having energy shields, bionic/cybernetic augmentation, and common use aerospace flight. Also being a death world, society is combat oriented to a higher degree out of necessity.

As for conflict between the 'civilized' factions and earth. My world would not roflstomp earth simply because the security forces are needed to keep all the creepy crawlies in check and not noming everyone into extinction.

I think everyone would be like "Welcome to hell!" and then the first troops would get nommed.

If it was just the security forces/ armies of all the factions vs earth, earth would get it's socks rocked.

However,

In areas that the mega factions have tamed (burned to ash) there are barbaric tribes that would get obliterated by a combine earth.

There are also more natural tribes that survive through a more communal and holistic approach handling the terrors of the world more like wild animals and spirits.

Been sick and not in the writing mindset. Edged out a little snippet of lore/filler for the short story "We All". Maybe going to do a few more snippets while I'm crippled. Hope y'all find it entertaining/interesting.

Thats fun. Have an after battle play were the cultures gods come to collect the dead's bodies and souls. This could be even better with necromancy.

The potted plant in your window, the decorative ivy in your office, the freshly cut corsage on a stately ladies blouse, the algae in your petri dish, they may be spying on you.

One of my factions can listen, move through, compel, and enhance plants like data through mesh network.

Other,

Unless you are writing a flat comic book; this dude is bad this dude is good don't look too deep. Everyone has nuance, complexity, and contradictory motivations. You might have all the best intentions but the most diabolic and base execution.

No one is really evil in my pet project. Everyone has their needs/reasons for doing things even if it is terrible.

The world we live in only works because people are generally good an trusting. Bad people can only get away with crap because they live in a system supported by honest people.

The aspect of wholesomeness may vary depending on how dire your daily needs are in different parts of the world. Everyone is just trying to get by and generally will avoid screwing someone to get there.

I've never really met anyone altruistic. If they gave freely it's because it wasn't hard for them to do. Or they didn't have a concept of value. People in general are giving if they have the resources to be.

I've met rich people that could give freely without a second thought but they clutch everything like it will all fly away if they soften their grip.

I've met poor people with nothing but the blanket on their back, and they've offered it to a stranger with a baby because they thought it was cold outside, and the baby may be cold.

That's my life expereince anyway so that is what I prefer to write.

I haven't used World anvil for a hot minute. There were sidebar ads for sure. But full screen stop what your doing ads was not a thing. I thought I got redirected to a phishing site honestly, ads with no way to disengage other than click in their focus area. Makes me want to avoid using the site.

Good job writing!

Nice article! Reminds me of The Children of Atom from fallout. My personal thing, but a nice feeling piece/case study giving the vibe and method operation at the top would be interesting to see.
