# INFINITY HORIZON ## Posts - [Bakunawa](https://infinityhorizon.space/bakunawa/): Among the most legendary lifeforms inhabiting Infinity Horizon are the Bakunawa. Of unknown planet origin, these massive sentient species can grow to sizes rivaling that of the Erawan. This is largely owing to their highly efficient respiratory system and their unique diet – rock minerals that are biosynthesized by their gut bacteria. Bakunawa can also vary drastically in color, depending on the mineral composition of their diets. The glowing ‘eyes’ on the face are actually openings for air intake. The air is then combined with chemicals released from special glands at high pressure and spewed out the mouth, causing combustion. The … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Glotti](https://infinityhorizon.space/glotti/): The Glotti are agile arboreal hunters that prey upon smaller creatures by either grabbing them with their four quick legs or trapping them in their strong mandibles. Unlike other creatures used by the Nasnas tribes, Glotti were not sought out. Instead, they developed their domesticated traits after being ‘tolerated’ by the hunters and the like, perching on their tails or spine protrusions. Their eye panel is very developed in comparison to the Nasaniis, being able to ‘see’ animals and objects from very far away. They now serve yet another vital role in the Nasnas’ arsenal, working in mating pairs and being … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Nasnas](https://infinityhorizon.space/nasnas/): The Nasnas are a unique sapient race with a weird series of adaptations, even by the standards of their home world. They evolved from a group of primitive quadrupedal omnivores that still had partially finned arms and legs. These animals were fairly unspecialized but were beginning to use their intelligence and form ‘camps’ to hunt and forage. One important note was that they laid eggs and the newborns would be unable to fend for themselves for a large part of their youth; the world the Nasnas was harsh, and younglings would die quickly when unattended. For this reason, parent Nasanii would … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [The Griever](https://infinityhorizon.space/the-griever/): Among the largest predators that stalk the vast salt plains of Lanka is a night hunter known simply as…. The Griever The name stems from a semi-mythical story associated with the animal. Centuries ago, one of the first expeditions to the Far Lands ended in disaster. Contact was lost with the ship, and a rescue mission was subsequently formed. Among the volunteer crew was the wife of a man lost in the first mission. Yet, despite their tireless efforts, signs of any survivors remained lost in the sand. The mission was called off, and the crew was asked to return. She, … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Kshetra](https://infinityhorizon.space/kshetra/): One people under the Chakravartin – that is the claim in Kshetra, a vast realm that encompasses most of Lanka, except that unity is illusory, existing only on a map. In reality, the realms within Kshetra fight with each other as much as they do with outsiders. Central authority is only as strong as the capability of the one sitting on the throne, whether through alliances with powerful houses or through the military might and resources of his own state. The peoples of Kshetra are as diverse as the land itself. Primitive tribes dwell in the foothills. Powerful warrior-states dot the … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Shifters](https://infinityhorizon.space/shifters/): Roughly resembling sharks of planet Earth, each specimen is in fact a clonal colony composed of many physically connected, interdependent organisms. They are an extreme product of species interdependence and specialization to the point of them becoming organs of a greater whole. Individual organisms within the shifters are genetically identical and are connected by tissue and nerve endings. These aliens of the deep are noted for their deep philosophical culture and advances in bio-engineering. The Shifters are also exceptional in that they were the only advanced civilization to enter the space age without conventional rocketry. Their space vessels, as is almost … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Arbozoa](https://infinityhorizon.space/arbozoa/): Arbozoa is a phylum of sessile, photosynthetic organisms from the planet Garmiwala, where it served as its tree analogs. On Infinity Horizon, its range is widespread, found on several continents with super-arid biomes. However, what sets the Arbozoa apart from conventional plants is its animalistic larval stage. In its adult form, the Arbozoa resembles a terrestrial tree: a rooted structure with branching photosynthetic fronds, bark-like layers, and deep anchoring roots. Unlike plants, however, it does not produce simple seeds. Instead, it releases a mobile larval stage that performs the dual role of dispersal and ecological agent, occupying niches similar to those … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Brrla nrr Lah - Language of the Universe](https://infinityhorizon.space/brrla-nrr-lah-language-of-the-universe/): Overview Brrla nrr Lah ( The Language of Everything) is a minimalist conlang (constructed language) designed for use in the grand fictional setting of Infinity Horizon. The language is noted for its extremely limited vocabulary, putting the focus on essential communication. The concept of creating new words by combining existing ones is a strong feature, allowing the language to evolve and expand without adding too much complexity. Grammar-wise, it follows the OSV word order. This, along with a lack of verb conjugation for tense, person, or number, and straightforward modifiers, makes the language easy to learn and use. In-Universe Lore Rula … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Ananta Rastra](https://infinityhorizon.space/ananta/): Far within the depths of the structure’s oceans lies a civilization far more advanced than any terrestrial counterpart. Cities of immense size filled with wonders inconceivable to the uninformed stick out as lit oases amidst the unending abyss. The Nāga prize technology and science above all. While their realm has been ever-expanding, the underwater world they inhabit is vast, and thus, they have yet to come into conflict with other races. For now, they are satisfied with setting up terrestrial outposts and the occasional abduction of surface dwellers, be it for experimentation or to serve as curios that their lords can … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Bea’viskar](https://infinityhorizon.space/beaviskar/): Bea’viskar are the ancestor species that gave rise to the daivas present on Infinity Horizon. What passes off as a Bea’viskar is, in fact, two species in symbiosis. The Bea, a sentient lifeform, has come to rely on the Viskar for its nutritional needs. The Viskar, in turn, is offered a host that provides protection and mobility. Millions of years of co-evolution have led to the Bea developing higher intelligence at the determinant of losing their ability to self-metabolize nutrients.    Bea’viskar Society Unlike human society, Bea’viskar society was non-hierarchical. This is because it is hard to establish rigid class structures … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Lal Hadaf](https://infinityhorizon.space/lal-hadaf/): Even after the ark was sealed off and chaos followed, some settlements retained relatively unimpacted – a consequence of geographic luck of being present in a place of ample natural resources. One such region was Lal Hadaf, a lush tropical continent enclosed on all sides by snow-capped mountain ranges whose glaciers fed great rivers that flowed year-round. However, Lal Hadaf’s fate would forever change when its administration decided, despite the vocal protests of experts, to introduce some 100 mastikhors to the ecosystem as a form of biological control of agricultural pests. The introduced mastikhors began to multiply rapidly, lacking any natural … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Ghost Orchid](https://infinityhorizon.space/ghost-orchid/): When daylight fades, and the winds of Lal Hadaf grow still, the Ghost Orchid blooms. Its translucent pink petals emit a cold, faint glow, like dying embers scattered across the darkness.  The Ghost Orchid is a bioluminescent parasitic plant found throughout Lal Hadaf. It thrives in places rich with death and decay, most commonly on old battlefields where countless bodies have been left to rot. The flower takes root in decaying flesh, drawing nutrients from the fallen and spreading rapidly across the dead. What makes the Ghost Orchid truly feared, however, is its ability to attach itself to the living. When … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Hexoarm](https://infinityhorizon.space/hexoarm/): On the planet, May 155b, life had only recently begun to make a foray onto the land when Vakra researchers first discovered it. Simple tree-analogs carpeted the shorelines and emerging wetlands. There, amongst mud and moss-like growth, researchers found the first species to colonize these new terrestrial environments: the semi-aquatic Hexoarm. This bean-shaped herbivore is a product of hybrid speciation – descending from the aquatic Hexoable and Armstrong. The Hexoarm species features a number of adaptations that allow it to thrive in its environment. Their limbs, initially adapted for aquatic movement, underwent gradual modifications. The bone plate that once restricted its … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Erawan](https://infinityhorizon.space/erawan/): The Erawan, hailing from the low-gravity planet of Svarga, are a race of super-massive intelligent beings with the largest specimens reaching heights of up to 300 feet. Aside from their immense size, one other aspect makes the Erawan notable: their unique means of communication. Instead of visuals or sound as apparent in most other advanced lifeforms, the Erawan communicate through smell, possessing the largest and most advanced olfactory organ of any species in the galaxy, with their sensitivity to smell being 4000 times more than that of Earth’s elephants. Due to this, they can detect distinct smells from more than 10,000 … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [Imperial Eisenkrieg](https://infinityhorizon.space/imperial-eisenkrieg/): A century ago, from the far lands beyond Leviathan’s Reach, came black ships of steel and choking mist to the shores of Lanka. They spoke a foreign tongue and held ink-bound promises on paper as sacred. Their true attention, though, was conquest; for as soon as they were given supplies, gifts, and safe harbor, more of their ships arrived—and this time, their guns thundered as they laid waste to the very hosts who had provided them succor. They did not care for the people of this land, only the land itself and its resources. Imperial Eisenkrieg, also known as the “Shakta … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [The Blood Court](https://infinityhorizon.space/the-blood-court/): The beings that would become the Asura were once the Gandharvas, a space-bound civilization composed of a progenitor hivemind and led by a semi-autonomous leader caste. They were traders travelling in mighty fleets across the cosmos, temporarily staying in one system to replenish and repair their vessels. If they had a home planet, any information on it or its ultimate fate has been lost to obscurity, for the Gandharvas kept no written records and rarely shared what they knew. During the Second Great Cataclysm, the Gandharva throng present on the ark, Infinity Horizon, was cut off from the rest of the … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" ## Pages - [Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting](https://infinityhorizon.space/infinity-horizon-the-core-setting/): Think of Warhammer 40K, All Tomorrows, Mass Effect, or Halo, you have humanity – the underdog – and the Big Bad – usually some cosmic force capable of eradicating the galaxy. Usually, despite how grimdark they can be, these settings sell you hope – that somehow humanity and allied species would prevail against all odds. Well, in our setting, there is none of that because the galaxy is dead…presumably. What remains of life and civilization is mostly on the Great Ark, Infinity Horizon. So, what killed it all? It’s the Deluge. Explaining the Deluge We’re all good guys in our story, … Continue reading "Infinity Horizon – The Core Setting" - [WIKI](https://infinityhorizon.space/wiki/) - [Home](https://infinityhorizon.space/): ABOUT INFINITY HORIZON Infinity Horizon is a collaborative sci-fi project based on the upcoming novel of the same name.
