The Truth of Tala'm Trencher's Quest
Tala'm is a world teetering on the brink of oblivion, held together by the magick of colossal, godlike dragons. In the wake of worldwide devastation and receding oceans, many magick-wielding species of Vaustille-Kalos rebuild while beset upon by bloodthirsty monsters, power struggles, and abductions carried out by Mulfaers, monsters who use advanced technology different from that of Tala'm. One particular Mulfaer and the undisciplined, hotheaded shrine maiden who found him may become forces for much needed recovery, if they can first manage to stop making it worse.
The Truth of Tala'm is a science fiction and fantasy tale with elements of old western, medieval, psychological horror, isekai, anthropomorphism, paranormal, and dimensional travel that will be spread throughout. Over the course of the story, there will be a gradual reveal of the planet's unique evolutionary history and how it affects the universe itself. The mood ranges from action, to introspection, to humor, to intense moments with brief gore.
Our story begins thirteen years after the start of the apocalypse as a kid wearing experimental armor is found unconscious in the street by a girl with tall ears, fox features, and fledgling elemental control; on her way back from procuring food and medicinal supplies for her temple residence. She discovers right away that he is one of a hated and feared race of beings known as Mulfaer, banned from being inside the city walls, but chooses to help him the same as she has pledged to help anyone in need. It seems he has lost his memory, even of how to speak.
After them both being attacked and injured by a maniac in an alley, and the next morning being traumatized by unexplainable occurrences regarding the boy, our hotheaded and curious female protagonist makes it her mission to restore this stranger's mind and learn all that she can about him. Two flying fae folk and a small, yellow dragonette are the first to join her as they stumble into a thrilling adventure involving thieves, assassins, several mentally-unhinged villains, invaders from other worlds, and learning more about the world and themselves than they have ever known.
