Inspired by the legend of Atlantis, tales of Utopia, and various tales of exploration and discovery, this book project attempts to recreate something now lost to us – that the world has nearly always been a place unfamiliar and unknown – a source of fear, wonder and the birthplace of personal voyages of discovery.

The mapping aspect of this project is first and foremost to map all of Orphalian, a fantasy continent:



This is a rough outline. I have already mapped the province of Thallica (which I'll delve deeper into in another blog post).

This blog post is more about showcasing some of the lore and ideas behind the Voyagers and Kings project.

This massive undertaking has lingered for years on old backups, a universe that I developed for a period of ten years, before the sheer scale of this project lead me to shelve it – until a time when I could do it justice. Since then we have new possibilities that were not available when I started out. We have social media for a start, and sites like WordPress. And self-publishing too.

These weren’t around when I begun creating this vast tale of 2 worlds, each living seperate existences on one planet. Now, nearly twenty years since the day I felt compelled to create a fictive universe on the scale of our own, the time has come to do it justice. And if you thought Game of Thrones was big, Voyagers and Kings is even bigger.

To show why it is big and why I feel compelled to commit years of hard work to get it out, this site will be used to illustrate the project as work-in-progress, the best parts posted to. Read More Here!

The Universe:
For thousands of years, each civilisation has existed on opposite sides of their planet from the other, each believing their existence was the only existence. Or so everyone believed…

Coranon – the Archaions

Voyagers and Kings is a world not unlike our own comprised of two continents.

Coranon was once a socialist commonwealth populated by the people once known as the Archaions, thought the term is antiquated. Coranon passed, developing into a ruling oligarchy who renamed Coranon Orphalia, an industrial land comprised of seven industrial states run by the counsel of Caramantum who preside over a continent that possesses few natural wonders, barren, often unfertile, a vulcanic landscape in the North and a mineral-rich one in the South where cities built of iron offer the only sustenance for a population that has never known any other existence than depravity and misery. So it is dystopian. And yet, it is not like any dystopian world envisioned.



I am looking forward to posting more of these blogs. This episode was short, but some of them will become quite big I believe...
