Darth Wiki / The Eidolic

Go To

Haven's unpublished, largely unwritten setting. Takes place across a galaxy of shifting mists and strange metaphysics (and, well, regular physics—see the "misty space" part), where travel can be accomplished in ships but is more often than not done in dreams. The stars are alive. A demon is chained beneath a cathedral guarded by giant robots. A Chosen Many of warriors with Power Armor made of obsidian was destroyed hundreds of years ago and recently began to rebuild. An green behemoth with a ruby in its forehead presides over a jungle. There are almost no humanoids.

EIDO

  • Genius Loci (To some degree, the Eidolic itself; the "cradle angels" appear to be its immune system)
  • Magical Realism (I always tried to give the setting this feel, except, well, without the realism. But the inspiration was the same lyrical style and sense of wonder)
  • Old Shame (Now that I have listed all this, may I never speak of it again, except possibly to give it a Revival. Although almost all of it was in my head anyway, and really, that's an even worse shame.
  • Our Vampires Are Different ("sturmvams", which feed off of storms, and the M-class, which feed off emotions and are a major threat)
  • Science Fantasy (thematically fantasy, certainly nothing scientific about it, but the space travel and aliens might throw you off, even though it's not really Fantasy or SF in the traditional sense)
