Indratera Wiki

<mainpage-leftcolumn-start />Welcome to the Wild World of Indratera!
Howdy. I'm Rosa, and Indratera is my fantasy world. I've been writing stories, inventing lore, making maps, creating languages, and running TTRPGs in it for over a decade. It's my passion project, but much of the lore is also shaped by my friends and their ideas, characters, etc. It's got a really layered and vivid history. Every inch of the world has been visited by different groups of friends or different stories. Whilst it's quite nuanced to sum up, the main themes of the setting are grey morality, urban industrial corruption versus isolated rural simplicity versus dangerous wilderness. Similar to the central themes of the Wild West. Oh, and there's an ice age rolling in. 
=== Indratera in a Nutshell? ===
If I had to sum up the world, I'd say as follows. Indratera is meant to be a grounded and believable fantasy world, with a keen focus on the languages spoken, the ecology of the world, its storied history, and its well-developed unique cultures. Also, magic is incredibly rare in Indratera. The vast majority of people don't know much about magic, and they are either amazed or abhorred by it. Technology is the backbone of some societies, although a lot of technology was lost during the Collapse - before it, we had steam trains, electric lights, telegraphs, guns, and radios - and after it, we still have those, but much less widespread. Generally, the world is full of untamed wilderness, with clustered towns scattered great distances apart across great swathes of wild land, with blurry country/regional borders. In cities, there is safety, technology, but also complacency, decadence, capitalism, and greed. In towns, there is comfort, calm, honesty, humility, and hospitality, but also isolation and some risk. In the wild, there is freedom, beauty, lawlessness, but also peril and danger. This axis provides the main conflict for the setting - industrial hedonism & political corruption vs isolated rural simplicity vs the dangeorus wilderness. Indratera is deep in its next ice age, and the world is cooling, sometimes erratically and without warning. Finally, humanoids all evolved from common ancestors, but evolution in Indratera happens faster and more crazily, so people form different species, animals become monsters, languages become different, etc, after only a few thousand years. Therefore, there's scientific explanations for what in D&D terms you might call 'elves' or 'dwarves' etc.
=== Where to Start Reading? ===
The Euluska culture and language is my main one. They spread across much of the world and their language is my main conlang. The Good Articles category should give you a nice list of great pages (because a lot of stuff around the wiki is outdated and constantly being updated!). Plus, the Lore Articles should give you a focus on more 'world lore' type stuff. 
=== Key Areas ===
Most adentures tend to touch on several key areas: Halcyon, the industrialised beating heart and capital of the world; the Danderillon, a temperate gothic wilderness of plains, moors and forests, pockmarked with great cities; Rakkimar, a boreal land of untamed coasts and snowy wild islands, with small cosy towns within; Lakay,a gorgeous tropical continent of settlers, gunslingers, and pirates; The Mantle, the beautifully vivid underground; and the Fallo, a warm coast of old castles, long-dead saints, humble farms and once-great noble houses.
=== Also, my Cthulhu Alternate History World ===
There's a very small amount of stuff for my Cthulhu Alternate History world, where eldritch beings are real. I write a lot of horror stories in it.
=== Thank you! ===
