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

A Look at Samovar

This is almost a Fantasy Castle, except that it's real.  The world of Thoss contains a single desert, named Char, for obvious reasons.  Along the coast, South of Torvaald and North of Magic Isle, lies Seacliff Home of King Acernon  There are birds on Thoss large enough to ride, who stay aloft by a combination of wings and magic.  Called Terns, they come in several varieties. As you can see, Lorelei owns one.  Some of the creatures which resulted from Fifnir's tampering with the genetic codes of various creatures, and mixing some of them, are simply strange. Others fit the description of Monster.  In Old Home, far to the West, beside the ocean, lies the Library, a place where knowledge best left forgotten may be researched.  This is about as close to Seana's house as anyone ever gets, she's a bit reclusive, where her home is concerned.  Thralz make excellent mounts, even though weaker than Warhorses, and slower. Still they are loyal and easier t
