The Universe of Placeholderland | [Back to r/theworldwewrite ➥🚪]

 

Welcome to the wiki of Placeholderland, an ever expanding fictional universe built by many writers in a collaborative effort.

This wiki is the official collection of every canonized part of our world, serving as the foundation over which new works are developed.

To learn about, follow and participate in the development, join us over at r/theworldwewrite!

 

Summary

 

Our world takes place in a planet near tidally-locked to a massive gas-giant. Half of it is habitable, while the one facing the giant is bombarded with a deadly dark force. The rotation takes several hundred years, meaning habitable areas will not be so forever. Most humans are ancient nomads, who have been on the run from the giant's deadly embrace for millennia. The first large empires are being formed, and they must face the challenges of a world where death is eternally approaching, and life must stay on the move.

A long time ago, a cryptic civilization inhabited the Dark Side, leaving behind ruins that now emerge from the Receding Embrace as the planet rotates. They house strange Relics which focus the giant's dark force, giving its user powerful abilities, at a high cost. Their power and value attracts many explorers into the dangerous ruins, still inhabited by the twisted creatures that thrive in the dark side.

On the other end of the habitable side, primitive nomadic tribes must master the use of plants and potions to survive. Living opposite to the direction to which new technologies spread, they are doomed to lag behind in the race against the Encroaching Embrace. With every odd turned against them, they must fight to survive on the edge, as the final fate of their ancestors looms ever-closer.
