* NumberedHomeworld: justified in-story: the three planets were only recently discovered by Earth, and so until the UN assigns an official name, each world is known by a number designating the star system and the planet's position within it. For example, Westeros is located on "Planet EE-L4" (Epsilon Eridani, L4 Lagrangian Point), while WarhammerFantasy seems to be set on "Planet EE-L0" (Epsilon Eridani, Lagrangian "Zero Point").

''Event Horizon: Storm Of Magic'' is an ongoing science fiction/fantasy/parody/CrossOver series by django with a seemingly simple basic premise: what if the fantasy worlds of [[LordOfTheRings Middle Earth]], ASongOfIceAndFire, and WarhammerFantasy all took place on three separate planets in the same star system? Sounds simple enough ... until things are shaken up by the arrival of visitors from Planet Earth. And not just any visitors, but an [[CyberPunk ultra-advanced and power-hungry]] MegaCorp from an [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture dystopian 22nd century Earth]]. The end result is a story that blends some of our favorite MedievalFantasy settings with a straight up SpaceOpera complete with spaceships, robots, and lasers ... as well as the writer's own injection of humor and great heaping helpings of sarcasm and [[ShoutOut pop culture references]].

!!Provides Examples Of:
* CrossOver: between ASongOfIceAndFire, LordOfTheRings, and WarhammerFantasy, and an original sci-fi SpaceOpera setting created by the writer.
** A fourth planet in the system will feature yet another fantasy world, but, as yet, it's identity remains unknown...
* Deconstruction: WordOfGod is that the story was actually meant to be a deconstruction of James Cameron's ''Avatar''.
* MegaCorp: The Company. ''Dear God'', The Company.
