Having mentioned repeatedly that the stories and the like that I've done aren't the main plot, now's the time to note just what it is. I've mentioned before that the Omniverse pattern involves *everyone* being subject to this trope: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeAREStrugglingTogether. Well, this is how that works: the Tales start with the conclusion of the grinding nightmares of the Three Sieges, where the Independent Alliance, a coalition of totalitarian and sympathetic factions under the leadership of Arakzun Stazarzhin are forced to surrender, and Stazarzhin is renamed Stazarzhin, a demeaning name, being by birth an Underlan. With their defeat, he commissions as counter to the great supersoldier and incarnation of War via the Omega Program, Xaderavcal, Kesheli. But unknown to him, Shanar Hezhatin had made a deal with the monstrous creature whose Guards Army had ravaged the Throneworld in the horrific raids during the Empire's Civil War, the being Zazhalanzanai, ruler of the hellish otherworldly realm of Azarath.

With her help, Shanar Hezhatin seeks to inaugurate a new age, if he can re-assume control of Kesheli, Vizornii Hezhatin, and Xaderavcal through a new and improved clone of Xaderavcal, built from the same material as Vizornii. This Clone XV will permit him, he hopes, to tame even the violent monster Kesheli. But as he schemes, so does it become apparent to those in high places, those loyal and those seeking revolution, that the Empire is still ruled by the flawed megalomaniacal incompetent whose failings inaugurated the war. Multiple factions appear. Aside from Hezhatin's Architects of Fear, the other great unpredictable groups are the Kamishammaii, the Soldier-Fanatics of war-gods whose warlike natures are not still merely because the Throneworld bids them be.

For Diarchy, the Houses of Vintron and Chaliel are soon drawn into rival plans to depose the Underlans, the Chaliels benefiting from one of their number being Junior Diarch, the Vintrons from being Utawali and blood-kin of the ruling dynasty, war-heroes, all of them, in the terrible war just ended after its fourth decade. Also in ordinary realms scheme the discontented and brutal totalitarians, who soon realize that their would-be superweapon is now outside their control entirely.

But in higher realms, there is a greater danger than all of these: Kesheli, the new model of the Omega Program. Kesheli is unknown to them all a blend of a creature already powerful enough to ruin worlds with a type of otherworldly being only the texts closest to the nature of all reality. Not even her creators realize the extent to which the mere presence of the Red Death shall ensure that designs and schemes of mortals intertwine with them the new natures and intrigues of strange, bizarre otherworldly realities. As intrigues begin, in the hothouse post-civil war world of the Bizjarran Empire of the Underlan Dynasty, in the era of the Third Diarchy, realities begin to meld and warp by the foolishness of the few, and the schemes, always present, of nobles and kings begin to become matters of the most cosmic scale.........

So this is what I actually intend to focus my writing on. Not the war, but the messes that come after it. What about the rest of you, have any of you made progress with your own writings?

You're stretching it if you think this is a good jumping off point for a political discussion.

I tend to picture it as an endless cold and rainy Monday on Planet Lankers.

What do I think about your writings?

What about if it's not that, but... It's Jaws?

Haters gonna hate. Pay them no mind if they can't read "this is what I'm writing" and instead come away with "bleezle pop fuddly doopers -- what's your political opinion". However, since I'm still n00b around here I don't know if this is an aberrational post.

An Underlan? Praytell, is that where you get your name? :D Cool! This is really very intricate, and the names you've come up with are quite good.

I wrote a thousand words while on my forklift, one sentence at a time. But on my days off? I agreed to beta a friend's 120K tome in a fandom I don't really know because she's on deadline. So no writing for me lately. :/ But I'm close, I want to finish the sucker!

That sounds a lot like Real Life. XD

I admire people who can do world building. I prefer playing in someone else's universe (and mostly a visual media one at that). But I do OC's (Original Characters) rather well!

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
