Derjonverse

The "**Derjonverse**" or "**Derjonworld**" is a minor universe that the author created at February 2021.

## Features

The main premise is about three universes, each consisting of a world dominated by a single government or ideology: Alvanworld, Derjonworld, and Taionworld.

## Alvanworld

Alvanworld is dominated by a beautiful race of warriors, known as the Alvaniskar. The Alvaniskar are blonde, blue-eyed, and peach-skinned. Many of them tend to be very aggressive and reckless, delighting in sensual pleasures and war. They gestated within their mothers' wombs for only three weeks before being painlessly born, and their childhood lasted either four weeks or four years into adulthood, depending on the tribe. As they are a race of immortals, they have a stronger metabolism, and to feed their growing numbers they either built farm-towers filled with artificial animal meat, or they killed and ate their enemies and anyone who angered them.

### History

100 years earlier, the Alvaniskar were part of the ruling Darokhan Empire, where its people were harmonised to obey its Great Leader: but with the empire destroyed and the world in ruins, the creator of the Alvaniskar made his people into a race of sex-addicted savages to ensure that they easily spread throughout the empty universe.

### Society

Alvan is ruled by a warlord, known as a Rukhal. The Rukhal can have as many wives as he wants, and he tends to be the strongest warrior of his race. Usually after 50 years, the Rukhal resigns and passes his throne to another champion who wins several deadly prestigious duels.

In spite of the Wolf-Lord's attempt to create a unified race, the Alvaniskar consist of two peoples: the Lords, who possess greater strength and stronger sex drives, and the Hordes, who are the common folk dedicated to violence. Only male Lords can become Rukhals.

Most Alvaniskar in the Hordes race tend to be divided between tribes, ruled by a Patriarch. Most of the tribes fought against each other, yet they were able to easily replace their lost numbers through orgies.

Furthermore, some tribes have diverged from the Alvaniskar standard by changing their childhoods to last for four years instead of four weeks, giving their children more time to be emotionally-stable. These "longlasters" are derided as weaklings by other tribes for not letting new members engage in bloody violence as soon as possible.

Skulls are popular trophies in Alvaniskar culture.

Blue is the national colour of the Alvanian Empire.

### Religion

The Alvaniskar claim themselves as the descendants of the "Wolf-Lord": when they were actually created by a warrior who sought to repopulate his homeworld after most of its people annihilated themselves in a great war.

Popular deities in the Alvaniskar world include Skôr (the king of the gods, the god of war, fighting, and violence), Zôr (the god of masculinity, attractiveness, authority, and sex), and Skia (the goddess of femininity, beauty, and lust).

## Derjonworld

Derjonworld is ruled by a theocracy that worships the Thirteen Star Gods. The Derjons are a fanatically devout race who will obey the priests of the Thirteen Gods without question -- even if it involved cruelty and mass destruction.

### History

100 years ago, the founders of Derjonworld used to live in a global war torn between warlords and dictators. They rallied behind the Green Prophet, who united their homeworld and exterminated everyone and everything that stood in their way in the name of the Star Gods. Then, the Green Prophet ordered the production of a serum that kept his people obedient and orderly, appointed a High Priest to rule the planet, and disappeared.

Green is the national colour of the Derjonian Empire.

### Religion

Three of the most popular gods in Derjonworld include Iceno (green god of wisdom), Asario (blue god of stars and the night), and Ravesio (red god of war).

## Taionworld

Taionworld is ruled by the High Council of Mankind of thirteen Chairpeople. Its sole race of humans has been "harmonised" 100 years ago: that is, being genetically-modified to become more obedient and less individualistic. Even the High Council's race, the Party, have been completely harmonised, to the point that they kill any member suspected of selfish ambitions.

### History

100 years ago, Taionworld was a polluted world enslaved by corporations for thousands of years. A newly-established corporation, the Taion Order, housed millions of poorer people at its cities. In the domed cities of Taion, the poorer masses and liberated slaves were given better meat and crops to eat (instead of paste produced from dead plants and recycled murder victims), lived in housing with adequate water and power supplies, and were given more freedom to pursue their hobbies. The better treatment under the Taion domes attracted thousands of slaves, who revolted against their corporations for the Taion Order; and while the slaves overthrew the corporations who tormented them, the Chairman of Taion, Elauthroi, created a serum that made his people more docile.

With the world under his control, Elauthroi spread his serum throughout his whole civilisation, until he and his highest followers ruled over a whole race of slaves. Three hordes -- the Red Horde, the Black Horde, and the Grey Horde -- emerged to stop him to create their own socialistic empires or anarchist communes, but even they were defeated and exterminated. As time passed, Elauthroi became more arrogant, arranging more ceremonies for the people to worship him. Angered by what they perceived to be a corruption of Taion's goal of total equality, thirteen of his officials killed Elauthroi during one parade and declared themselves the High Council of Mankind. They are not to be worshipped, but to manage the leadership of the Taionic Empire.

### Society

In the early days of Taion's global conquest, people enjoyed better comforts. Now, the quality of life in Taionworld had become more crude and miserable, as its leaders were obsessed with making their people obedient to the State.

The Taionians are divided into three races: the Workers, the Warriors, and the Party. The Workers are the majority of people in Taion, toiling and attending ceremonies to worship the Party (but not its members). The Warriors form an elite portion of the Taionic military, with the Workers being the footsoldiers. The Party are a race of super-intellectuals who serve as the pool from which elite members and Chairpeople were chosen from.

Many Taionians tend to be supportive of each other, lacking any form of selfishness or ambition to stop them from obeying the High Council. They especially love the poor, to the point that they catch marginalised people, feed them, place them in adequate shelters, and train them in skills and crafts.

All forms of menial work and maintenance is done by armies of robots, so humans will do manufacturing, art, and military. All Taionian businesses are property of the State, and Taionians abhor the very concept of running one's own business as "cruel selfishness".

Red is the national colour of the Taionic Empire.

### Religion

Any form of belief in the supernatural is banned in Taionworld under pain of death and "recycling". Furthermore, the people of Taionworld have been modified so they cannot ever believe in supernatural beings, although occasionally they might use magic learned from lost tomes or experimental government projects.

## Other worlds

### Herianworld

Herianworld is a theocratic oligarchy ruled by the Racial Council. Its people are a blonde, blue-eyed race of humanoids who live under a hive mind.

#### History

10,500 years ago, Herianworld was under a global war between the three empires of Mozirik, Athûdal, and Herr. The Great Lord of Herr, Emperor Hludriost, led a campaign to exterminate the other civilisations and races of his world, and after that his people worshipped him as a god. For seventy years Hludriost led many campaigns to build extravagant buildings and projects to make his sole race more conforming, binding them to a hive mind. He also organised ceremonies where misbehaving or defective Herians were sacrificed as offerings to him, and created an elixir with their blood to make himself immortal. 203 years later, his elixir stopped working, and his body began to decay until it burst fountains of blood.

With his death, his whole civilisation was plunged into civil war between his five successors, until the next Emperor, Arnolisch, made his civilisation a racialist theocracy. Herianworld went through seventeen more empires and ninety great wars until its present-day incarnation under the oligarchic Racial Council. Most of the empires that fell had its people exterminated and replaced by a new race of elites or clones, while some subjugated and mutated the survivors of the previous empires to force them to obey the new rulers.

#### Society

Many Herians love art, athletic sports, and reading. They also like to smile, and are fanatically obedient to their overlords, and they expect conformity in everything around them.

Men are expected to be gentlemen and soldiers, and women are expected to be obedient housewives.

They avoid videogames, democracy, freedom, and cartoons, seeing them as "evil corruptions". Even though they claim to hate "pop culture", many Herians have developed attachments to certain favourite propaganda works.

The Herian people often viewed themselves as a race of demigods, a Master Race that must expand and dominate all forms of life as their prey. Therefore, any form of individualism or factionalism is regarded as treason against the race-spirit (the hive mind), although Herians themselves were permitted to form clubs and sporting teams in contests. Although they would forgive a quarrel or a debate, they also believed that the proper way to deal with any form of dissent or failure is extermination.

However, upon seeing even one little difference or dissenting view, the Herians would kill the heretic by tearing them to pieces.

#### Religion

The Herian religion is centred on three concepts: God-King Hludriost, the current members of the Racial Council, and the race-spirit. The "race-spirit" is actually a hive mind used by the Herian rulers to dominate their race. Defective people and undesirables were no longer placed in death camps or put to slavery, but if they are found they are being killed as human sacrifices to the three gods.

## Trivia

* The original premise was about three tyrannical world states ruled by dictatorships: one was a world dominated by an authoritarian Nazi government, the second was a planet ruled by a brutal caliphate, and the third was a totalitarian communist empire. Each of those planetary empires took over the world by exterminating all forms of opposition. After they eliminated the last of their opponents and "undesirables", they modified their remaining human subjects' genetics and minds to make them more obedient to their leaders, eliminating most of their freedoms to achieve a soulless "utopia" where their people are no more than subservient drones under an aggressive hive mind.
	+ Alvanworld may be inspired by barbarians in fantasy works.
	+ Derjonworld may be inspired by the medieval Catholic Church, with some magical elements and mad scientist tropes.
	+ Taionworld may be inspired by the Soviet Union, cyberpunk, 1984, and ancient Greece.
	+ Herianworld may be influenced by Nazi Germany (and neo-Nazi movements), the 1950s era of the United States, and the Stepford Wives.
* When an astronomer for either one of those worlds discovers any of the other two worlds, an interdimensional war ensues between the three tyrannies. The three-fold war takes place 100 years after the exterminations of those respective worlds. The author later decided to remove real-world elements from the premise (e.g. Nazism, communism, Islamic extremism) to avoid controversy.
