Etheos Masterpost
(trying out this as a better way to catalogue lore and things for those not wrapped up in my google docs hellscape)
"The Server of Etheos is a world of its own, a world of hidden magics, hybrids, monsters, dimensions, and kingdoms. Surrounded by great seas, filled with lush jungles, thick forests, wide plains, towering mountains, and stifling deserts… For centuries, it has existed as such. People claimed the lands, waged wars, took lives, and toppled empires. Inversely, people settled, fell in love, gave life, and led the people of the lands. Etheos is rich in history, told through many stories and confined to legends or lost to time altogether.
To you, worlds can be created with the tap of a finger, the whim of a creative mind. To you, they are pixels on a screen, moving lights creating a picture of a world at your mercy.
To them, it is real.
To them, this is their world, this is their home, and they know nothing more.
They are the players.
This is the game.
Thus begins a new story, a tale untold, of travels and wars, of secrets and brotherhood, of quests to alter the very course of the universe.
May the adventure begin."
Etheos is an incredibly developed fantasy world built on the foundations of Minecraft mechanics, creatures, and lore created by myself and @howcow47. I (Vaughn) am the main writer and artist of the series, with HowCow being my beta reader and fellow story architect.
And no, I have poured too much time and creativity into this story to even THINK about abandoning it (approx. 23 google docs + 3 spreadsheets + so much more). Updates might be slow, however.
