Enôr and its three moons, Nark, Nored, and Gayeh. In a nutshell, eight rocks, two balls of gas and not a single train that runs on time.(This page is a work in project. Suggestions are welcome.)A world-building project by Gilboron. Started as a Lord of the Rings fan fiction in 2003 - still evident in locations such as Nerhûn - and expanded a lot after that, to say the least.Though the world spans one entire solar system and parts of other systems, the main setting is the relatively Earth-like planet Enôr, though the two last plots (see paragraph below) almost entirely do not take place on Enôr.The world itself contains examples of:
The world is built out of nine "plots", which depending on context, could be films, books or seasons of a TV series. These plots are, in order: 1. Eryne Tîwele IEryne Tîwele is a prince of the kingdom of Foghain, in the world of Enôr. He lives a fairly careless life as second heir to the throne, until one day, during a feast in memory of the liberation of the kingdom’s capital, Avarrots, his father gets assassinated. Immediately begins a trial of Eryne’s maturity as he is asked to join the secret Order of the Fang prematurely. Fleeing from his father’s assassins, he tries to put together the missing pieces of the puzzle. Meanwhile, his older brother, Prÿs Tîwele, lays siege on Ardonjonne, a rebellious city in the north of the Kingdom. Eryne gets fed up with the amount of responsibility he receives, and runs away with the royal family’s young bard and his childhood friend, Mintheïs. Having ran away, he finally calms down and puts the situation into perspective. However, as he realises what lies for him in the future, the Gods hand him a mysterious sword: the Herald of Death. Just then, he runs into Prÿs, and reconciles with the Order. Reluctantly, he uses the Herald of Death to win the day, but as he fails to cope with having killed people, the sword loses its power. Then his brother dies, and in his anger, destroys the whole city of Ardonjonne. Realising what he just did, he jumps off the slippery slope. He decides to leave his tainted kingdom behind, leaving it to Mintheïs, and takes the remainder of the Order to find a new land to rule. Travelling through Enôr, he discovers the world, and finally, his eyes fall on the Nerhân Republic. Acting like Royal Representatives, they infiltrate Nerhûn’s inner circles, and finally, using the power of the Herald, Eryne conquers the nation.This plot contains examples of:
2. Aigânt Tîwele IIAigânt Tîwele, second heir to the Nerhân throne, is a boy of a chaotic past, of which only parts are revealed. One day, due to being fed up with the boringness of Imperial life, he decides to run away with his older brother, Crown Price Eleyôs. They travel south, to the tribal village were Aigânt was raised in exile, and then travel north to see the fabled capital of Cendôr, Losdæh, a region currently under Nerhân control. However, on their way, they find out their father didn’t take their leave lightly, and that he sent several search parties to find them. They accidentally get involved with a rebellion group, and decide to stay to stand a better chance against these search parties. However, as they fight alongside the rebels, they come to feel approving of their ideals, and began to fight with full heart for the rebels’ cause.But when the search parties find them, they make a shocking discovery: one of the rebellion’s leaders is an exiled princess of the Nerhân throne. Her secret revealed, they decide to march on the capital, assassinate the Emperor, and free Cendôr while crowning the princess, Ydian, new Empress. However, their cover is blown, and Ydian takes the role of faithful citizen to regain the trust of her father.Ydian secretly releases Eleyôs in Aigânt in trade for the assassination of her father: they agree, and Ydian is crowned Empress, while Aigânt and Eleyôs are forgiven. Eleyôs immediately becomes a loyal servant of his sister, but Aigânt questions her ruthless politics and warmongering, and is eventually banished to an island in the Grey Gulf. As he is transported, however, he murders the soldiers that are escorting him, and sails the ship to Eloria, a city soon to become victim of Ydian's politics. He warns them in time, and the Ken pre-emptively attack Eyda, the Nerhân capital. Under this stress, Ydian shows her true bloodthirst, and is arrested. Eleyôs replaces her, but suffers from indecisiveness. Aigânt convinces him to negotiate, and the war soon ends: peace, and as a barter, the capital of Eyda is handed over to the Ken. In return, the Nerhân Empire receives a southern Elorian city, Goldur, which becomes the new capital.This plot contains examples of:
3. Gîlboron Tîwele IOserple, a slave of the Aren household found in the Eadenôn desert, finds his life warped as the Nerhân Empire attacks his home and kidnaps him. He is brought before the young governor of the Morgon, Gilyôn Aleman, who tells him of his heritage, but informs him that until his crowning, all he can do is lord him. Oserple, unconvinced, refuses. Nonetheless, Gilyôn sends a messenger to Goldur, and immediately receives a return message from the Field Marshal of the Nerhân army, third heir Gîlyon Tîwele. They decide to meet in Hughêr, the second largest city of what was once Elorian territory in Nerhûn. On the meeting, Gîlyon convinces Oserple, whose real name is Gîlboron. He informs him that the second heir to the throne, Gîlsayr, is ruling in his place. However, on their way to the capital, they discover village after village being plagued by mysterious beings: rumor has it the Tlong, servants of the Chaos God Zastôhda, have returned from the God Moon Ymir. They hurry to Goldur, and after long observation, they are able to find the source of the so-called Tlong. Gîlboron prepares an army to attack the source - located in the Neêm marshes - but when he attempts to attack, he discovers the Tlong are real, and is quickly mastered and knocked subconscious. When he awakes, he finds himself in a strange, futuristic environment: the source of the Tlong. The Gods turn out to be aliens from a second planet in Enôr's solar system, and the Tlong are merely cyborgs. Gîlboron, piece by piece, learns of Ymir's history, and discovers the Ymirian Zastôhda to be leading a rebellion against a corporation that wants to halt the "out-of-hand Enôn genetic experiment". He says that they are struggling, and that it would be a major help if Gîlboron were to scavenge the Herald of Death together. The blade is easy to find, pieces being kept by each province's capital city, but the core, enabling its powers, is located in Gîlgon, capital of Morgon. Gîlboron informs Aleman, the governor, but Aleman, underestimating the danger, tries to use the core's power himself. Gîlboron has to go and save him, and in doing so, retrieves the core, enabling the rebellion the make a large step towards victory. Gîlboron follows Zastôhda to Ymir, and with the Herald helps to win the battle and save Enôr.This plot contains examples of:
4. The Balance of FateThe Tîwele dynasty has long since ended, and a second Imperial dynasty, the Denaigi dynasty, is currently holding the throne. It rules well, though somewhat controlling, but nevertheless more and more republican rebels are sprouting up. A descendant of the old Imperial family, Dron Tîwele, is not part of this rebellion, but one day receives a letter that leads to the masked and fabric-covered leader of the rebellion, who only names himself with the Nerhân letter Th. This plot is a work in project, but eventually the rebellion forms a small separate nation with Eyda as a capital.This plot contains examples of:
5. The Great WarThis plot starts at the end of the eponymous Second Great War, as a five-member strike team is sent to infiltrate the Eydan capital, as the rebellious nation is attempting to conquer the whole of Nerhûn, with the help of the Urtemian Empire. The team consists of Rune Tîwele, Knight of the Fang, Eadrei Thalo, engineer, Torsa Gastarruh, Kalur and expert sniper, Eloto Shtalichi, Ken'y scout, and Derfon Edmuhnenâlc, big guy. However, Torsa turns out to be a spy, and the infiltration turns out wrong, and eventually the Nerhân army decides there is only one thing left to do: an all-out attack on Eyda.

7. DiscoveriesThe story starts with 29 year old Manii student Guidas Tîwele, who, while going on a trip with his two friends, Shælyn Gorona and Asliral Zoyar, accidentally befriends the Ken’y Gerco Valcon, a member of the Enôrian Alliance Taskforce (a rebellious organization, legendary for being the only ones to offer any resistance during the war 22 years ago, when Urtemuin conquered most of Enôr using Ymirian technology). When the EAT attacks the building a few minutes later, the three are, against their will, dragged into the rebellion. The group just stole some Ymirian military robots from the Urtemuin Army, and are hoping to finally take a stand. However, Guidas' pure incompetence nearly ruins the whole mission, until his stumbling helps the EAT to gain a vital secret of Urtemuin: they were, like the Ymirians did before, experimenting with genetics, and tried to create an artificial supersoldier. However, these prototypes escaped, and the Urtemian military is desperately trying to win them back. However, if the EAT manages to win them first, the balance would tip to their side. And if there's one thing Guidas is not incompetent at, it's charisma.A lot of things happen - then, Guidas walks over to the Urtemian Army and the shit really hits the fan.This plot contains examples of:
8. Shining StarCorporate trillionaire Yonathan Christo organizes an interstellar cruise, the Shining Star. However, already from takeoff, strange things happen: an Ymirian is found aboard a shuttlecraft, even though they were believed to have died out, and an assassination attempt on the Urtemian Empress takes place. However, the shit really hits the metaphorical fan when they are attacked by an unknown enemy ship. All passengers - except those willing to volunteer - are evacuated, but the crew itself is intrigued: this could be possibly be the first, though aggressive, intelligent civilization found since Enôrians left Enôr. However, after the Ymirian communicates with the ship, the ship leaves. The Ymirian urges them to commence a chase, and as they do so, they discover a stunning amount of intelligent civilisations, some alien, some familiar, and a stunning discovery is made about that last group: not only are they genetically compatible, they were also created by the Ymirians. The ship they were chasing turns out to be an Ymirian dreadnought, assigned to terminate all artificial lifeforms. However, the crew, logically not pleased with this, allies all the civilisations they've come across against the dreadnought, and eventually wins. They trace back to the home system of the Ymirians, and form a treaty.This plot contains examples of:
9. The Last SecretBillions of years has passed, and the Ænôrian galaxy is one of the oldest "dead" galaxies: galaxies full of brown dwarves and red, dying stars. On a routine joywarp, a sports craft drifts off its course, and finds itself drifting in this dead galaxy. Soon, they find themselves in orbit around a dry, rocky planet, and after landing on it, it turns out to be the legendary ancestral planet Enôr. The four crew members of the vessel find an old database, and take in the knowledge. This plot could be considered as sort of a "recap plot", though many pieces of Enôn history not appearing in previous plots is also discussed.This plot contains examples of: )
