==KoT==
===Origins of KoT===
KoT's basic idea began in 2008, During the game Neverwinter Nights. Kyle wanted to try to produce a Custom game scenario on Neverwinter Nights, and he began with the Title "the War for Katanova". This concept didnt get very far and only yielded some small ideas behind KoT. but it sparks the early colour concepts behind the Katanovians. The names and people in the Kingdom of Stars and the story's first touch.
After the summer of 2009, Kyle began using his fondness for drawing to produce some rough designs behind KoT. Using the ideas made within the Neverwinter Nighters scenario & rough ideas from charactered over time. Such characters such as Kaileth Worthyright, Kithrail Yalemarch, Elaine Darksea, Barrad & Andrew.
===Warcraft 3 Custom Maps===
King Katanova developed un-published maps which would develop the KoT designs prior to the creation of Titan Land Rise of Kingdoms, originally he designed maps which did not use custom models which were ideas behind azeroth wars, set during the only event which spawned the story, the War for Katanova, this was soon developed further with the use of custom models into a semi-fluid idea however without any triggers it was never fully completed and lost to time. Several new ideas came from this work should as the basic map design, what populations lived in what area and what thoses people appeared like, other ideas which spawned from this included the Crescent Cult, Chaos Horde, the Church of Madness & the Cult of Skulls.
===Titan Land Rise of Kingdoms===
== Warcraft Times ==
(This is a mark of what King Katanova did throughout his time in Warcraft 3, which includes everything he did before his work in Titan) 
KingKatanova first began his playing on Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne during the later half of 2009, whilst he was still dwelling on the slopes of the dreghorn overlooking Edinburgh. KingKatanova began as the username "Kat6195" on the euro server with the non-custom games and he did enjoy them but he found that they where lacking players, he then trailed into the scope of the custom games, where he found all the hosted games open to him, from Dota, Legion TD, Azeroth Wars, Dark ages of Warcraft and several more. One game that KingKatanova picked out as his most preffered during that time was Broken Alliances, for the reason that some of the things found within that game spawned parts of the KoT Lore (Eg. the plainsmen of Hahaska where inspired by the Horse Lords of BA). KingKatanova during the early years preffered playing Strategy games to roleplaying, he didn't even know of Titan Land or even the idea of Roleplaying until almost a year later. KingKatanova eventually jumped over servers from EU to US West and then went with the name "Katanova" and after several months he jumped back to EU and went with the name "King_Katanova".
