Hello. C J here. Welcome all to this year’s project. Welcome to Story Year Carthia – Five of the Heavens. For the next six months I’m going to detail every part and character in the Astral setting’s landmass known as Carthia – Five of the Heavens. Join me as I recreate traditional mainland Asian cultures through story and art. I mean China but also the Huns, Tibetans and the ancient nations that predate modern Thailand and Vietnam. I’m going to do my best to represent these nations and their complex histories and philosophies in story.
Welcome to the first Story Year. By six months from now I hope to have a full set of Regency Lore Cards, Regency Region Cards, line art style backgrounds, landscapes and characters done for the setting region. I also want a novel and a new cookbook. The novel is the first in my new ongoing series Infinity Saga. Infinity Saga are the stories of the many nations of the Astral setting as seen through Travellers who visit them and meet the people there. Travellers need food, so I’m working on the first instalment of Food of the World. Infinity Saga – Carthia and Food of the World – Carthia round out this season’s new ideas. More soon.

So no, a traveller in Haven or in the River Lands is unlikely to meet a bandit or other criminal sort. But then there’s the walking dead to consider. Many of the basements, catacombs and landmarks of Haven have old foundations from before the city had its current name. In ages long past it was one of two competing capitols for the Desert Empire, both of which unified under the first Sand King of the Gold Dynasty, the God-Lion. It was never his place of residence and both the other capitol and the rest of the Desert Empire are long since buried under the dunes. Well, people like to assume they’re buried. People wo...
