The World of Thoss

The World of Thoss


    Thoss is a Planet located in a group of stars usually designated M79, and is very far from Earth.  No one ever set out to go there, since it doesn't fit the long range description of an M class prefered planet.  It's hollow and large, having about .89 gravity.  It has two moons which cause a variation in the length of its year; of about two days.  It exists in a part of its galaxy which defies explanation, since a power source must exist for the odd spacetime effects, but it can't be located.  The world itself seems to have an atmosphere, and it even appears to be Oxygen/Nitrogen, but it also has some indications of 'other things'.  It's official designation is 'Anomaly' and it would be avoided even if anyone ever went that far from earth.
   In the not too distant future, when the problems with Warp Drive and LENR  have been resolved, and there's a method of cleaning and recycling almost everything needed for life, not to mention processes that allow the creation of synthetic protein and Carbohydrates, it became too artificial for some of the folks on Earth.   The decided to go out and find a planet where they could live more in Harmony with nature, and they each had mythical ideas.  They were the lovers of Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, and the Small folk who lived in tunnels, or holes.  They yearned for a magical existence, and wanted to build something they could use to make life more of a fantasy.  Since that was silly and impossible, no one paid much attention to their journey.  That's why it was over a century before anyone discovered the stable wormhole that they had stumbled through.  They had a rough time after they left the Wormhole, but we'll talk more about them later.

For now, it's enough to know that they went back in time a few thousand years when they passed through the wormhole, and eventually ended up on Thoss.

Now on to the story, it will unfold eventually, I promise.

 The stories of Samovar A pet for a Prince.   There have been inquiries concerning the animals which inhabit Castle Samovar.  These would include the Zoological Gardens, the domestic animals kept by the Shopkeepers, creatures which frequent the apartments of Strider, and to a lesser extent, Maude, and, of course, the cats.   They say a Picture is worth a thousand words, and Goliath does love to be made into an image, just because he has, perhaps, a bit of admiration for his own appearance.  And so, without further ado:  Personally I always feel more “secure” when the cats are about.  I suppose I should enumerate them, and note their names, but they’re somewhat shy, and tend to be secretive.  It’s enough that you know Goliath, without meeting Samson, Atalanta, or any others.   Growing up in the Dark     The sun rose, not that anyone knew of it, in the realm of the 'Dark Elves'.  Day and night were simply conventions there, far below the surface of Newhome, where lived those who

The realistic adventure

This is a story about how adventurers would probably conduct their lives, in a real Fantasy World.  The group is more than familiar with the traditional 'run in, kill the monsters, and flee with the treasure' pattern, but one of them goes to war and learns better. Another Day, Another Artifact     "Excitement, they said!" Tole grumbled, "Adventure, they said!"     With every word he either jammed the spade into the dirt, or threw dirt out of the ever-expanding hole in the dry ground.  The sun was merciless, the insects thirsty, and the heat oppressive.  There was no breeze and he was about ready to throw the shovel at that cool, competent, aggravating green female, whatever the hell she was.  Five days out, across land that gave a new definition to barren, and now he's digging a hole where there's not a sign of anything, not a tree, not a boulder, not even a dip or rise in the land. The Green woman just turned to the Elf and they decided th

A Travelogue of Thoss.

The World of Thoss If you want to lose yourself, in a world of magic, Dragons, and fantastic creatures, then Thoss is the Place to visit.  From the ancient ruins of the Great Library, on the Western Coast of ‘Oldhome’, to the Great Mountains, which encircle the planet, and on to Newhome, where the entire civilization is like a giant Renaissance faire,  There is much to be seen. To the far South of Oldhome, are the ‘Lands of the Khan’, which are unlike any place you have seen, or read about. There you will find culture that slightly mirrors the historical Orient, but not really.  There is magic there, but not the overt use which is seen in Newhome. The people in the lands of the Khan try to live much as did their ancestors on Earth.   Yes, the population of Thoss is from Earth.  The tale is odd, but easily explained. There was a wormhole, into which, in the near future, a shipload of colonists journeyed.  They were seeking a place to live out their fantasies, as medieval pla
