Intro to the Senaverse
In June 2022, I wrote up a statement of what my sim world of Juvash is. A lot of it still applies now, but as I've done a lot of personal healing and grown as a simmer as well, I wanted to update it for its latest iteration.
The original post started with, Juvash is a fantasy world, but it is not a standard pseudo-medieval world with medieval practices and prejudices. It doesn’t assign universal traits to its peoples (“all orcs are evil, all elves are good archers”) and there are no major rivalries between groups/species – “out-decorate the neighbours” yes, “elves and dwarves hate each other” no. All the species of Juvash live together; there are no “elven nations” or “orc tribes” and even if most of the sims in Kulo Seeri [now called Kulo Sena] are of mixed human and dragonspark ancestry, that doesn’t make anyone else unwelcome. This is still very much the case. Here's a run-down of what's new:
The Sheltering Unity of Lake Lulla encompasses Kulo Sena and a handful of other villages. Most of its inhabitants are descendants of the Nuidya tribespeople who long ago settled on the shore of the enchanted salt lake, but recently there have been new arrivals from other parts of Juvash - and even other worlds of the cosmos that Juvash is part of. Although they were wary of the first outsiders, the Nuidya now welcome friendly strangers, and the off-world envoys were no exception. What will happen as they navigate this shift in their traditional ways?
Their story is intended to be a cosy, uplifting, lore-rich, science-fantasy comfort read. That's not to say there won't be tension or trouble in places, but I'm not aiming for "soap opera" or "epic battle of good versus evil" here. One of my simming affirmations now: Interest != Drama. I would much rather discover new facets of my sim world and the people within it than watch ACR break up another couple. My goal is for my love for these sims to shine through in what I write. The Senaverse is my safe place, and as I said in the original intro post, I hope it's a welcoming one for others too.
