Today, I invite you into a world that chose me as its scribe: Andira.
Imagine a twin planet system nestled within a tri-star plane, bathed in the light of 12 moons. This celestial arrangement isn't just a marvel of magnetic and solar forces; it's a cradle for magic beyond our comprehension, fostered by an active divinity.
Andira is a world lush and green, bursting with life and home to diverse species. These beings have carved out their civilizations, crafting a rich tapestry of cultures. The setting is vibrant: from magic users and wizards to elves and lizards, dragons, and elementals. Nature is a constant companion, whether you're navigating the bustling cities of the racial capitals, the world capital itself, or venturing into secluded forests, deserts, ice plains, or mountain tops.
Despite its diversity, Andira has long passed the age of constant conflict. Over 3000 years have elapsed since the Shadow War—the last war that ended all wars—etched its horrors deeply into the hearts and minds of Andira's inhabitants, ushering in an era of peace.
A new chapter begins as, back on Earth, at the height of Atlantis's glory, a dark sorcerer taps into forbidden magic sourced from the lowest hells. Losing his humanity to delusions not his own but those of a dark deity, he aims to destroy Atlantis.
In his conquest, Athrius rises, the last defender of his homeland, bereaved of his family and friends. The sorcerer Fangorn, wielding powers that corrode the very essence of existence, inadvertently shatters the seals that kept the shadow realm from Andira, opening a path for demons to Earth.
Blinded by rage and a thirst for revenge, Fangorn's quest to destroy Atlantis and Athrius reveals his power and threats to be as hollow as his reasoning.
In this world, brimming with magic, untold stories, adventure, and lore, we find a playground for diverse characters with all-too-human issues, set against the backdrop of Earth's troubled realms.
Encountering Andira was an overwhelming experience that granted me access to its history and countless stories. It took years to sift through these narratives.
Now, I've outlined the story arc and journey of some of Andira's most impactful moments. This arc will span nine major books, interweaving three storylines across decades, with limitless potential for spin-offs. My longing to publish these books is boundless. As I refine my story, I hope you'll enjoy the journey alongside me, as I work to bring Andira's tales to the world.
