Project Realm – Central Hub

Many years ago a good friend of mine and I played a game of our own making. We were heroes in a fantasy world, simply known as the Realm, going on various exciting quests and adventures. Over time, as the characters grew, so did their adventures, and eventually their world! The Realm expanded to proportions we had not expected when we first started on our journey: the maps filled with various islands inhabited by a massive variety of peoples and both filled with beauty and fraught with danger! Generations of heroes walked its lands, following in the footsteps of the initial two adventurers, but in time, it slowly began to fade, until little more than memory of it remained…

To this day, that memory has stood the test of time, however. This world has always remained very dear to my heart and so I was determined, several years ago, to once more give the Realm the attention it deserves and bring it back to life! The result of said determination can be found right here. Below, you’ll find a convenient overview of the various phases of the project, each dealing with a particular aspect of the Realm. As the project is still ongoing, it will expand as new content comes out, so don’t forget to check back to stay up to date on all of the Realm’s latest developments!

Now, without further ado, I am happy to finally be able to welcome you all to the Realm! Step inside this magical world, experience it for yourself and watch it grow alongside me!

Who? Just your average descendant of two sea-faring peoples, anthropology Master and aspiring author with a life-long passion for writing.

What? Uhm, human. I think... Also a bit crazy, but in a good way. I think...

Where? A land under the sea, far, far away. Occasionally with my head in the clouds.

Why? Trying to get both my work and my love for writing out there, sharing them with others and getting in touch with fellow writers, artists and other like-minded people.
