Some Lore Stuff For Tales Of Stars And Magic
Some lore stuff for Tales of Stars and Magic
So a hyperfixation change means me talking about different characters lol. The thing is I also have to explain some lore for TOSAM before I can talk about plot or characters or nothing will make sense so here we are.
Magic So, we’re starting with the magic system. A magic user is referred to as a channeler and the act of using magic is referred to as channeling. Magic is an invisible force that exists everywhere and interacts with all living things. Some people are able to channel it to cause things to happen, but not everyone can. Every species is capable of channeling magic, however not every member of a species will be able to channel magic. Different species have different numbers of their species that can use magic. For example, around 40% of humans can use magic, but 98% of finaalin can channel magic. Someone is either born a channeler or not. There are seven kinds of magic: Fire, water, earth, air, light, dark and mind.
The Creators (or a very, very breif summary about them) The Creators were said to be the first species to exist. They were made from magic itself and they may have come from what was called the Source, although exactly what that was has been lost to history. They travelled the universe for millions of years, and supposedly aided in the evolution of most (if not every) intelligent species, but again, historians are not sure. Information on the Creators is difficult to get for one reason: the Blackout. The Blackout lasted for 10,000 years and was the result of the laws of magic within the universe being rewritten. This was caused by a Creator named Herene, who in order to stop the Devourers (Creators with a defect which caused them to feed on magic, which ever living creature needs to survive), was willing to cause the death of her own species to wipe them out. Creators had to return to their homeworld every ten years to survive, and when Herene changed the laws of magic, the majority of technology stopped working, including spaceships. Usually that would not have been a problem for the Creators, but the changes also locked them into the form of a mortal lifeform, leaving them stuck on whatever world they happened to be on. I will talk about Herene again at somepoint, but those are all the basic details you need to know on that.
The Blackout, Jump Engines and Exploration The Blackout completely wiped out space travel for 10,000 years as species had to completely relearn how technology (and their own magic) worked. The first to redevelop space travel was a species called the tseri, who invented the first Jump Engine, which allowed for what was essentially teleportation. Jump Engines do need time to charge up with magic to successfully do a Jump, and they do have a limit on how far they can go (I’m still figuring out numbers, maths is not my strong point) without the risk of exploding. The time after the Blackout were labelled the Discovery Years as the tseri introduced Jump Engines to other species. Now this period of time was both amazing and terrible due to the spread of technology and resources, but a lack of law and order also led to things like piracy, slavery and crimes in general. DY 442 was the year a new Jump Engine was developed so that they could reach another galaxy in the matter of a few weeks. The travel to the second galaxy did not do much more than add to the already chaotic times and both galactic and intergalactic wars became fairly common. In the year DY 1879, a group of planets decided to band together to form the Intergalactic Alliance, which helped to establish law and order at the time. After the Alliance was formed, the third galaxy was discovered.
The Intergalactic Alliance (aka the IGA) and the Insurgency So, while the IGA started out well, over the 800 or so years it has been around it has grown more and more corrupt. Now I won’t go too into things, but let’s just say the invasion of Ocera is not the worst of the crimes they have commited. I will also go into the exact structure of the IGA itself in it’s own post as this is already far too long. There have been many rebel groups over the years, however one of the largest modern ones is the Insurgency (they actually didn’t name themselves that, it was what the IGA called them and after everyone else started to refer to them as that, they rolled with it). The Insurgency itself is a large group of seperate rebel groups who joined together forming one big group. It was originally led by Ezren Heris, but after her death, Irel took over. On the whole, the Insurgency are regarded as criminals and little information is shared about them by the IGA, which is something Irel wants to change but that gets into the plot of book 1.

Don't lose focus! Yes, the university campus protests are excellent, but remember WHY and WHAT they are protesting.
from Bisan, 27/Apr/2024:
Aala!
Okay so this is Aala, one of the main characters of Onto the Horizon. She’s the perspective character of book 1 (Tides of Change) and is Nila’s older sister. Aala is a finaalin, a species native to the ocean planet of Ocera. She can channel water magic like most of her species can and loves to create music, but often does not have the time to do so due to her duties as a princess. She loves Nila dearly, but when Ocera is invaded by the Intergalactic Alliance, she’s forced to flee with her sister leaving the rest of their family behind. Aala is willing to do anything to keep Nila safe, even if that means working with the Insurgency.
Btw, I’m just doing quick headshots for these introductions as I was originally going to do a full group shot but that is taking longer to finish than I had hoped so quick drawings it is.
For how long the world will stay watching us getting killed every day by the most Savage army using tons of weapons to bomb civilians in smallest crowded place in the world it had been 9 months that’s enough..
I really like horror as fiction, but @tamer200333's sister is living through a real-life horror movie. She suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and needs treatment. She is in very poor condition and needs donations to be able to get medicine and treatment.
So please don't vote without reblogging or donating. Imagine struggling to breathe amid a genocide and having people scroll away the moment they read your story. Don't do that.

Things that should be accepted in the autism community that isn’t currently acceptable or talked about enough or talked about as gross.
Being nonverbal (as in can’t talk at all permanently)

Being talked to in simplified language
Being dirty
Drooling
Chewing on things
Stimming violently and loudly
Hitting yourself

And so much more. I shout-out anyone who are these things or do these things. You are amazing.
I refuse to use the terms “Israel-Palestine Conflict,” “Israel-Hamas War,” “Gaza War,” etc. You should, as well.
It is not a conflict. It is not a war. It is not some dispute between two equal parties.
It is apartheid. It is ethnic cleansing. It is genocide.
Call it for what it is and stop falling for western propaganda. Stop defending Israel with your wording.
Please help me, my little boy is about to die, he has a serious surgery, we in Gaza do not have everything, my child is about to die, help me even with a small amount of money 😭💔
So, I hope you can help me evacuate my family from Gaza so that my child can get treatment abroad.
I ask everyone who sees this to donate or contribute so that we can get out of this nightmare.

Please help Bisan!
Last week I made a post to raise awareness my friend Bisan Al-Balawi, who I've been speaking with for some time. She is trapped in Gaza with her family facing immense hardship due to the destruction of her home and life, the onset of winter, and the continual threat of violence. Originally, she made fundraiser primarily to buy a new tent to replace the one her family currently lives in, which is damaged by the elements and unsuited to protect them from the coming cold.
However, since then, the situation has become more urgent. Bisan, who has been working day and night to try and find food and water for her family, was hospitalised with malnutrition just this week. Her life is in danger. Her situation is unsustainable without outside help—help that we can provide.
Bisan needs £8,000 both to buy the tent her family needs and also help pay for vital necessities such as food and medicine. This is not something that can wait a long time. Currently, she is only at £1,774 of that goal. Compared to other fundraisers this is very achievable. Just this week I was able to dedicate the spare money from my paycheck to her campaign, and I know that a lot of you also have steady paychecks and cash to spare. You may not think it's a lot, but donations add up. If you can't donate, please share so that this can reach more people!
