Anogwin is a realm incomparable to any other. Here, The Sophic Species, Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Dracose, and many other sapient species have pressed innovation to the furthest limits. Magic is now far more than a mysterious force held by a talented few. Circuit boards of quartz, silver, gold, and Mythril are found in millions of different forms of technology. The raw elemental component of magic, Myst, is used to power everything from day-to-day appliances to vehicles, weapons, War Machines, and so much more. Yet in a world of advanced cybernetics, Zero-G cars, and wonders beyond imagining, there is still strife. Racism remains strong, gangs run whole districts of hive cities, monsters roam the wilds, barbarian tribes raid small towns, drug addiction runs rampant through the weak-minded, mega-corporations tread over the impoverished just as the puppet governments, and there is more than one organization operating from the shadows. Tensions are tight between nations across the globe, and the threat of war looms over the horizon. Do you have the strength and wit to thrive in this world?
Author's Note
At the start of each chapter will be a little snippet of world lore that I will try to keep pertinent to the chapter it is attached to. But there will be a couple of chapters where there is no relevant lore that I can provide that has anything to do with the chapter. These chapters will simply be tagged with some random snippet of lore from the world, so don't get confused if the pattern doesn't remain the same throughout the entire book.
Critical Note!!
This world is rather expansive, with a lot of intricacies, details, and moving parts. To help readers out, I've made an encyclopedia website at the following link. https://www.worldanvil.com/w/anogwin-valraven-dreadwood
This site covers everything. From the magic system to the technology. From nations to natural regions. From profiles of Gods, Titans, Eternals, and Immortals to profiles of characters you'll encounter in my work. From Sophic Species and monsters to common slang used in various nations, examples of monetary currency, and notes on the adventuring field. I try to update the site regularly, but it can be a challenge to juggle it and the books and life, so please be patient.
Currently, if you want a guide to the slang, go to the site, under Maps & Nations, go to Ventic, scroll to the bottom, and click on the link Ventic Common Slang.
