Palanesis
To anyone out there reading this, the world you are about to read about is likely dead and gone.
I know, sorry, bit of a bummer to start with right? Just wanted to set expectations clear from the start. I know you're probably asking, who are you? Why send this out then? What is this in the first place? Well, I don't know that, but I can assume. The what is simple. This is a screenshot of this world's equivalent of what you would call "Wikipedia." Just a generalized snapshot of their world from approximately the same point in time as yours. The why is... well, a little bit sentimental if I'm being honest. I think they deserve to be remembered. Not necessarily in what they accomplished or what conflicts they overcame, though there certainly is a little bit of that. I chose just a snapshot of the world as it stood before they, at least most of them, realized what was coming for them because I think the best way to capture the story of a world is what it's like in its quiet moments. And that's exactly what this was. Moments before the storm. As for who? Well just call me CT. You don't need much more than that.
Anyways, that's enough yapping from me about reasons and whatnot no? You're free to click through any of the categories and articles on the site as you wish, though, if I might suggest, starting off with the Emergence of Novas. It's not exactly the nail that changed everything between your world, and this one's, but it IS the recognizable starting point.
