About
The AUAK Chronicals (purposefully spelled that way), is a set of stories and table top role playing game set the custom world called 'Avel`Uun~Auriese~Kæa', created by Dan Williams. This Wiki represents a portion of all that I have created and organized for this world. And it is always a work in progress; it is a huge undertaking to create an entire world, especially a world with eleven layers (from the black hole to the center of the world....*spoilers*).
It began in 2005, and has changed dramatically over the years. I've spent most of my time on working on the maps, recreating over and over and over and over. So, though many of my maps are still blank, when you're trying to create 273 maps, it takes a while. Well, actually, I'm doing 16384 maps......and each of those maps with two to four layers of civilizations. The maps are in four resolutions, starting with A000000, with the B level containing 16 maps (4x4), and each of those divided into 16 (4x4) for C level. Then I have rendered a D level which divides C into 64 maps (8x8). And still, these D level maps are too large to show city streets, or terrain details; plus the program can't generate high enough detail, best editing resolution I can get is 1px≈4² miles. Eventually, if this expands towards publication, I'll hire a bunch of people to detail the maps fully. Or I'll just figure out how to make a 3D world and turn this into a video game....
Just outside of the Milky Way Galaxy is a small black hole, it is called Illek. On the edge of the excretion disk (Illek's Meal), are two stars (the Roia, called Merroi and Verroi). An astronomically close distance inside the orbit of the Roia lies a world with four moons. The moons, called the Alru, are named Onalru, Pualru, Vialru, and Kaalru. The world is called AUAK. The Avel is the surface of all lands. The Avel is joined with the Uun, all that which is underground. The Auriese is all large bodies of water, the water's surface and it's depths. The Kæa is the sky, all that is above the world's surface, above the land and sea; there are islands floating in the sky called Kæav, some of which are hundreds of miles across.
There are many races which inhabit the various parts of the world. These include Humons, Valswyn, Hhorq, Selans, Chayas, Hobb, Gar, Ndourin, [[Kaarln], Dempu, and Undead. These are each divided into several subraces, and even those are divided further. And of course thousands of different types of plants, animals, and other beasts.
Magic is prevalent around the world, many of the cities are constructed using magical means of shaping wood, and stone.
Technology is also growing in the world. Airships fly between the Kæav and the Avel. Some cities are built out of giant gears which provide energy to every building in intricate clockwork systems. Variable Rate Repulsion Rotary Magnetic Motor propel the ships (air and sea) and horseless carriages around the world. Though there are still many places in the world with considerably less technology and societal structure: there are many Wildlings.
