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.

Stories Involved

 * Empire Entropy - Focusing on the remains of Kitsala since it was annexed by Storopai, and the surviving immigrants' lives in Byevod.
 * Kaimuh Recycle - As it says on the title, it focuses on the lives of the citizens of Kaimuh.
 * Light Separation - Focuses on the lives of the citizens of Olana, from one perspective.
 * Stepping Up - Focuses on the lives of the citizens of Olana, from another perspective.
 * Exploration - Focuses on a shady part of Byevod that they'd rather keep hidden.
 * Angel Trap - Focuses on the lives of the citizens of Ideskarp.

Trivia

 * A lot of the faction's names were made from manipulating a word's pronunciation. Storopai was taken from 'stripe,' Kitsala was from 'crystal,' Olana was from 'online,' and Ideskarp was from 'idea' and 'scrap.' Kaimuh was taken from 'gamer,' surprisingly, and Byevod has no origins.
 * Initially, Al wanted to name the universe Spikeverse, but figured Thornverse sounded better.
 * This universe, Paletteverse, and Mindverse are the only universes so far whose names don't start with the letter S.
