THE REALMS OF CAENAR

THE REALMS OF CAENAR is the setting for the Ascension War, a dark fantasy with biopunk and cosmic horror elements.

Caenar is a vast world wrought of numerous realms, bound together into a great tapestry. Once dominated by an all powerful but despotic semi-divine race called the Elnorians the realms were devastated by an apocalyptic event known as the Cataclysm. The Elnorians Empire crumbled and for millennia the Realms languished in an age of chaos and barbarism where the achievements of the past were forgotten. But now the former subject peoples of the Elnorians have risen from the ruins, free to forge their own destinies now the old tyrants are long gone.

The Realms of Caenar are diverse, ranging from those resembling Earth to far more outlandish places. The same holds true for the denizens; there are humans, Orcs, Dwarves, Elves, Giants, Trolls, Dragons and other fantasy staples (given what I hope are unique spins) as well as more unique creatures. Technology ranges from stone age to medieval, though there are a handful of realms where things have progressed further. Magic is prevalent and bio-tech in the form of living weapons, machinery and genetic engineering and such is also present. There are the ruins and remnants of the Elnorian civilisation which will appear to have been highly advanced.

The Ascension War itself is divided into two timelines; the Rise follows a band of heroes who oppose a tyrannical regime, whilst the second follows on from Rise depicting the aftermath and a new roster of heroes working to stop an impending apocalypse.
