Chima Stories

Many stories have been written by Chima fans to expand the lore, for both canon Chima, and the Roleplay. Below is a list of many of these stories in the "Chima Expanded Universe" (If your story isn't featured here, feel free to add it). The RP stories are listed here in chronological order.

## TV Series "Headcanon" Stories

* **The Heroic Sacrifice: A Fire and Ice Story** details the adventures of Ewar the Eagle General as he battled the Ice Hunters during the events of the Chima TV show's third season. The first third of the story serves as a supplement to the theme's Fire VS Ice conflict, showing the war through the eyes of someone who wasn't one of the series' main protagonists. After saving Croc Prince Cragger from Vulture leader Vardy (sacrificing himself to be frozen in the process), Ewar was added to Sir Fangar's frozen collection. While frozen, Ewar was trapped in an alternate-reality dream, where he met a gryphon/griffin named Grynix, who hinted at the sequel story. After being rescued from the Ice Fortress, Ewar returned to the Eagle Spire library, where he learned Grynix's origins, as well as his own destiny. This story was written by JGREAD in 2014 and early 2015, on the original LEGO Chima Message Boards.

* **Legend of the Time Chi: The Ultimate Power!** continued from where The Heroic Sacrifice left off, and was the second book in JGREAD's Chima trilogy. During the events of episodes 37-41 (the last 5 episodes of the TV series), Ewar went on a quest to find the pieces of a map leading to the location of the legendary Time Chi Harness. Each map piece had been left with a bearer: Lundor the leopard, a croc nicknamed Ironscale, an eagle nicknamed Dark, a cheetah from the past named Chollo, and a gryphon from beyond Chima named Gali. After joining together as a team and reassembling the map, they found the Time Chi Harness, only to fight Icestrike, a rogue ice bear who wanted the Time Chi Harness (Icestrike is also the king of the Ice bears in the RP continuity). Ewar eventually put the TCH on, sacrificing himself (his body turned into energy, and he survived but wasn't able to travel back to his time period) to defeat Icestrike. Soon after, Icestrike was cured by the Great Illumination like the other hunters, and turned good. This story was written by JGREAD in 2015, on the original LMB Chima forum.

* **Beyond the Beyond: The Last Legend of Chima** was the third book in JGREADs Chima trilogy, taking place 2 years after the end of the TV series. After preventing Laser Skull (a LEGO cyborg from another universe) from getting the Time Chi (and destroying it in the process), some of the heroes from the last book followed their fleeing enemy into the lands beyond Chima and the Outlands. To capture Laser Skull and find his lost tribe, Lundor assembled a team comprised of himself, Chollo, Dark, and Razar the raven. They set out on a journey beyond Chima, encountering new tribes (rats, moles, groundhogs, wolverines, seagulls, dragons, cheetahs, and black eagles) who didn't live on Chima island, and therefore weren't affected by the Great Illumination. When they reached the edge of the realm, it was revealed that the entire planet was disc-shaped, and that Laser Skull had an outpost and a base there, but both were destroyed, along with Laser Skull's robot army. Their journey concluded in a final showdown with Drakonus and the dragon tribe (who had allied themselves with Laser Skull). The Dragon War (Chima's last war) took place, the dragons were defeated, Chollo and Lundor rejoined the cheetah and leopard tribes respectively, and the entire realm was restored to peace. Lundor allowed Laser Skull to fly away in his spaceship, knowing the damaged cyborg could do no more harm to Chima. This 50-chapter story was written by JGREAD in late 2015, 2016, and early 2017 on the original LMB Chima forum.

## Roleplay Expanded Universe

* **Rupture: A Chima Roleplay Prequel Story** is currently the earliest in the timeline, beginning 195 years before the events of the Roleplay. As such, it connects to many of the other stories, which were all written before "Rupture", but take place after it. However, "Rupture" mostly focuses on the Vulture and Leopard tribes during that era, telling the connected story of dual protagonists Valum and Leodus. It is currently being written by JGREAD on the LEGO Message Boards Eternal Chima Forum.

* **The Three Warlords** is a forthcoming direct sequel to "Rupture" that begins in 140 BR, but ends at the exact same point as "Rupture", in 121 BR. It follows Aether Gulikovsky, Vamprah, and Garland, further expanding on the latter two characters' backstories, and on the Age of Warlords. It will be written by JGREAD in 2024 on the LEGO Message Boards Eternal Chima Forum.

* **Chima Roleplay: Omnibus** (alternatively titled "Tales of the Chima Roleplay") is a collection of short stories taking place in various time periods. At least two of these stories have been planned: "The Masked Monarch", a story following Erdrik that begins in 77 BR, and "The Fallen Founder", a story about Skinnet and Silas at the time of the Roleplay. Those two stories will be written by JGREAD in 2024 on the LMBE Chima Forum, but the nature of the project invites other roleplayers to add their own short stories to the collection.

* **Gorbav: A Chima Roleplay Prequel Story** (alternatively titled "Legacy of Gorbav") details Gorbav's rise to power in the Gorilla tribe, and his subsequent clashes with Gorilla King Gortphiik, beginning in the year 30 BR. It was written by Egorsmirnov in 2017-2019 on the LEGO Message Boards Eternal Chima Forum.

* **Lysandre - A Chima RP Extended Backstory** expands upon the Chima Roleplay lore by detailing Lysandre's life as he founded the original Lysandre Labs, after being inspired by Gorbav's actions. The story also explains his alliance with Rawlin. Beginning in the year 16 BR, it was written by Egorsmirnov in 2017 on the LMBE Chima Forum.

* **Retribution: A Chima Roleplay Prequel Story** expands on Lycor's backstory by explaining the origin of the conflict between him and his cousin Lyrix, as well as addressing the state of the Raven and Lion tribes after the events of "Lysandre", and leading almost directly into the Roleplay's events. The story begins in the year 3 BR, and was written by JGREAD in 2017 on the LMBE Chima Forum.

* **Expedition of Exiles****: A Chima Roleplay Tie-in Story** is a short story following Bat scientist Dr. Benjamin as he leads a team of animals who left their tribes, on a journey into the Arctic. It takes place during the events of the RP (after Rex moved into Lion City, and before the Ice Hunters attacked Chima), and tells a story supplemental to the Roleplay's main plot line. It was written by JGREAD in 2018 on the LMBE Chima Forum.

* **The Last Reincarnations: A Chima Roleplay Tie-in Story** is another story taking place at the time of the Roleplay, immediately after the Tribal Summit. It mainly follows Scorponok, revealing the truth about his existence, and also reveals the true motives of Tenebrae and Malgus. It was written by JGREAD in 2020-2022 on the LMBE Chima Forum.

## Cancelled/Indefinitely Delayed Stories

* **Retribution II** was to take place at the time of the Roleplay (or shortly "after"), following The Last Reincarnations. As the final book in what would've been retroactively called the "Retribution Duology", it once again followed Lyrix, Lycor, and the Ravens, and would've led into the events of the West Sea Wars. JGREAD planned the story in early 2020, during a long period of general inactivity when the RP appeared to be "dying". The story was intended to tie up loose ends and wrap up lingering plot lines from the RP, while still having an ambiguous ending to leave room for future content. When the RP received a boost of activity in late 2020, however, that meant that Retribution II would have inevitably contradicted new ongoing events within the RP, in addition to not being necessary anymore, so it was cancelled. The story's fully outlined events are now considered to be an alternate timeline.

* **The Legacy Trilogy** is a series primarily about the factions of The West Sea, and the last few years of the West Sea Wars. It was going to be written by JGREAD in 2019, 2020, or 2021 on the LMBE Chima Forum, but was continuously revised and delayed. It was intended to be a climactic tribute to the Roleplay and its history, and would have been written a considerable amount of real-world time after the Manta Ray Empire had attacked Chima during the RP. The departure of many of the RP's founding members over the years, and the lengthy story arcs prolonging the Rays' invasion, meant that the Legacy Trilogy would've lacked the narrative satisfaction that it was supposed to invoke, had it been written in 2021 or earlier. As such, the series has been delayed indefinitely, but will likely still be written eventually.The series begins in the year 28 AR, and is comprised of 3 stories (titles may change): **Legacy: Fall of the Bridge,** **Legacy: Heir to the Outlands,** and **Legacy: Redemption.**

* CHIMλ LIFE: FREEMAN BEGINNINGS was a story set at the time of the RP that would have been written in 2017 or 2018 by Thefirstdecade, taking place before the Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War. It would have served as a prequel to his other stories about the character Scordon Freeman, but he didn't end up writing it, and there is little information on it beyond that.

* ——CHIMλ LIFE: The One Free MλN—— was a story written on the Chima Roleplay Wiki by Thefirstdecade in early 2018. Set in an alternate timeline in which the Third Great Illumination was enacted much earlier than in the RP, most of the first chapter was written in 2018, but Thefirstdecade stopped writing the story soon after.
