Thornverse

The Thornverse is considered another one of the many universes that comes up to Al's mind. They've considered this to be the "dumping ground of reworked cringe," meaning this is where a majority of old story concepts get rewritten and repurposed for something else.

Development on it is currently on pause, as Al has no interest in it as of late.

Main Lore
The current lore of the Thornverse takes place in an alternate, Earth-like world, focusing on a bunch of major factions all facing the same threats. Said threats is the faction of Storopai, who just recently annexed their neighbor Kitsala and were planning to invade everyone else, and for some reason, demons spawning into the world. The major factions of Kaimuh, Byevod, and Olana have suggested mandatory military services as to battle these threats, while one faction, Ideskarp, has suggested to close borders and cut off all ties with the outside for safety measures. Byevod has also become a safe haven for anyone from Kitsala whose families have been affected by Storopai's annexation.

In a world of serious combat but weird magic wielded by teenagers, obviously strange things are bound to happen.
