Inherents by TLhikan, literature

Literature

Inherents

“Inherent” is a catch-all term for any human born with sorcerous abilities, usually used to differentiate them from Warlocks and Adepts. Inherents are ubiquitous throughout the world, and in societies that encounter frequent demonic or otherwise supernatural attack, a necessity for survival. A Inherent’s abilities usually manifest at an early age, often even before the Inherent is born. A young Inherent may find the Machine Spirit of nearby artifacts awakening or reacting violently, and that demons, mist-plagues, and other infernal creatures ignore easier targets in an attempt to kill them first. Conversely, even a newborn

Eucatastrophe: Introduction

Do you not know that the Lord is patient, passing over the sins of men until the appointed time? Did not the Kings of Oza, Qinia, Turob, and Rashi turn their backs on the Lord? Did they not summon against one another plague, demon, and fire? Yet the Lord was patient and passed over man’s arrogance. A hundred times the prophets called the kings to repent, and a hundred times they refused. They mocked and killed the prophets, and each told himself “Surely God is with me!” In their arrogance the Kings sought power for themselves, seeking to become like God. Their debauchery grew and grew, until in their blindness they turned

The world of the Swedish Saga

The world of the Swedish Saga just before Operation Dragonslayer (http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/19/civilization-v-the-swedish-saga-part-1-4000-b-c-to-430-a-d/). --- The year is 2003 A.D., or at least, it would be if this was our world. This is in fact not our world, and if one of us were to view it from orbit, the arrangement of this planet’s continents would be completely unfamiliar. The countries and cultures that inhabit this world, on the other hand, would seem strangely familiar. There are still people who call themselves Christians and Jews and Buddhists and Hindus, if with some rather unique interpretations and practices. On

'Really Existing Magocracy' in the Sorcerers Axis by CastleGreifenghast, literature

Literature

'Really Existing Magocracy' in the Sorcerers Axis

The economics of the Sorcerous Axis exists in two mutually contradictory states. Firstly, there is the economy as it ideologically and legally exists in state regulations. Secondly, there is the economy as it actually exists and functions. According to state propaganda, the Sorcerers’ Axis is a utopian world of plenty that has abolished scarcity and greed alike through the universalisation of magic. Suspicious-minded observers would note that this propaganda very closely corresponds to the Prophecy that led to the creation of the Axis in the first place, while bearing almost no reality to how the Sorcerous state actually works. A problem faced after the Magical Revolution was that the Prophecy didn’t actually provide terribly much in the way of concrete details as to how a fully magical economy was meant to work; the Prophecy ‘proved’ that it would work, but the revolutionaries didn’t know how it would exactly work. The vision was essentially a cornucopia endlessly giving forth plenty;

The Enemy of All Mankind - TEXT

It was the final story, the final frontier, that which man had always wished to grasp yet never could. Man had long presumed as his birthright to be the heavens, and yet they denied him, closed off by the stringent laws of reality. Eventually peace was made with this fact. Across the 21st and 22nd centuries mankind stepped tentatively out into the black, grabbing onto the rocks about their immediate neighborhood, experimenting with fusion, trying so hard to claw out so many Gs of constant acceleration as efficiently as possible. Torchships lit up the night, domed cities sprung up on Mars and the Jovian moons, and by the middle of the 22nd century the first laser propelled probes crossed Alpha Centauri and Barnard’s Star. On Earth great advancements had been made in kind. Malaria was at last wiped out, Alzheimer’s and dementia could now be kept forever at bay with a treatment that came in pill and jello form, Mammoths were even brought back to life. Yet even as mankind reveled in what

Machines And Mercenaries

Dendar A'nosstrian had never left his homeworld. There had never been any need. He had been born on the same luxurious estate he had lived in all his life, the same estate his progenitors had been born in for generations. His life had been a lengthy string of lazy sun dappled afternoons in the mico-orchards, winter retreats to a mountainous fastness where he could enjoy the thin air, trips to hive to attend functions and debutante balls. All the while the business of, well, business had been carried out by the enormous computer banks buried beneath his manse's foundations. The computer managed his family's numerous investments, carrying out acquisitions, negotiating with competitors and partners, even ensuring his refigerators never emptied, all without needing to seek Dendar's approval or even his curiosity. Dendar had only a dim idea of exactly what the extent of the A'nosstrian business empire was, and he didn't really care to know much more than that. And then, his serene

Redwall: Revolution Update

0 min read

I noticed that my last journal entry is about how I'm going to re-post Redwall: Revolution. Well, as of now, I'm thirteen chapters in here at Fanfiction.net. There's not really any update schedule; I just try to work on it whenever I'm free.

Reposting Redwall: Revolution.

0 min read

I've starting going back  through R:R and I'm thinking about re-posting it somewhere on the internet. I'm not sure yet though if I'll do so here on dA or on fanfiction.net or possibly both (any input would be welcome). Hopefully, my previous readers on AlternateHistory.com will still want to follow the story. And yes, eventually I will get back to writing new chapters, once all the old ones are posted.

Hi TLhikan, i just finished reading Redwall: Revolution at Fanfiction.net and wanted to let you know how amazing i thought it was. Without a doubt the best Redwall fanfic I’ve ever read. Were you planning on writing more? If not I understand, but god damn was it a fantastic bit of fanfiction. If it wouldn’t be too much trouble, could you let me know how the story was going to end? I would really appreciate it.

Wow, I can't believe people are still reading R:R! Thank you for your kind words; unfortunately now that I'm in grad school I doubt my life will ever be at a place where I can finish the story. Here's an outline as to where the story was supposed to go (I've lost my original notes, so there could be some continuity errors here):

A combined army led by Bomal and Rockstripe marches after Izacall, joined by Canrick and Brevfid. Roven journeys to the Northlands and meets up with Erbonn.

Izacall ambushes the Long Patrol/Free Vermin army, heavily injuring Rockstripe. A northlander army led by Roven and Erbonn arrives just in time, Roven and Izacall duel and Roven wins but spares Iz's life.

From there, the "Roven saga" sort of concludes and my plans were more vague; Roven works to improve relationships between "vermin" and "woodlanders", but things still have a ways to go. Izacall goes into exile in the Domain.

I intended to zoom back out and focus again on technological/political development; trade between Mossflower and the wider world, the discovery of the Redwall-equivalent of the "New World" and beyond. My original dream was to take the Redwall world all the way to modern technology, but the story of Roven and co. grew into its own thing (and I'm glad I did, I think it made a better story than "so and so invents the whatever").

Thank you so much for replying! I really love how this story dealt with the relationship between vermin and woodlanders, as I always thought the books needed to take a closer look at the subject.

I’m glad that Roven succeeded in being a force of change for vermin kind, someone who can unite the species.

Once again, thank you for giving me some closure. I think you have something really special here, something that all Redwall fans would appreciate as a kind of conclusion to the series. You should consider posting this outline on Fanfiction.net as a last chapter so that readers there can see how it was meant to end.

Thanks for the fave!

Sure thing. Sorry I didn't comment, but I couldn't think of anything to add. Nice map!

Thank you again!

Sure thing
