Dinorania Tales from the Gateway World

Dinorania is, in the broadest sense, the continental land of the Dinoraenes, an ethnic group of paraterrans from the nearworld Voi III Dinòra.

But Dinorania is much more than just a country. It is a continent, an idea, a prophetic dream and a union of many (rather dissimilar) nations. It is the stalwart of the Third Race, the hope of humanity in the face of otherworldly perils, and too their greatest threat.

Dinorania is the thousand miners in the deep, and it is the bleeding earth. It is the immortal emperor on gilded throne, the paragon sage, the writer, the painter, the prophet. It is the laboring engines in the fields, the towering beasts in the wild, the dreaming titans beneath the earth, the praying monks at the knees of giants. It is the eternal and beautiful, and it is the transient and the absurd, the divine and the awakened, and the terrified and deluded. It is the crucifier, and it is the crucified, at once master of the known world, and slave to the vast cosmos that look on in indifference.

Dinorania is humanity, and Dinorania is beast.

With a vast and storied history spanning over five thousand years, the so-called father of the human civilizations on the Midworld of Gea has been broken and battered by the ravages of time, and yet it carries on, in the glorious, undying spirit of those that carry that accursed little dream in their hearts.

Here, on this website, I shall hope to communicate the life and times of treasured Dinorania, a fiction project I've written for, discussed, and dreamed about for 11 years or so.

To those that are compelled to wander here, I hope you find something to think about, to imagine, to skim through, to delve into, or simply to laugh at.

Above all I hope you get something out of this mess because even I don't sometimes.

Faithfully,

Riad E.
