Frequently asked questions

Another dimension. Endless and dangerous and fascinatingly beautiful.

I am mostly based in The City of Bones, the capital the Sevenoath Kingdom.

A monsters’ graveyard, and now a human city.

Countless years ago great beasts choose this place to end their days. The spirits of these beasts linger here, protecting the site bones from roving spirit storms.

Humans found sanctuary here. Now the population is over two million.

And not all the inhabitants are human.

Yes. Above and below ground. Where there are no bones, there are houses.

 All anyone knows about them is that they came from the west, and crossed the Algoth Mountains to get here. Some died attempting to get here. Their skeletons provide safe havens throughout the land.

Eleven years after I arrived here, I won the right to travel freely through the inter-dimensional gateway. Apart from a gateway closure due to Covid, I come and go between Ireland and Dunari without hindrance.

For privacy reasons, I won’t give details.

Though my parents knew where I was, they declared me ‘missing’. This satisfied the authorities.

I am fascinated by technology. I followed the development of the internet and the networking abilities it enabled.

I set up a wireless network. After hooking up a weatherproof Cat 8 Ethernet cable to a server in my uncle’s basement in Ireland, I ran the cable through the inter-dimensional gateway, and connected it to a Cisco wireless antennae. I have more wireless Cisco kit setup in the compound to receive signals. I also have portable kit to carry with me when I’m moving through Dunari.

This gives me internet access.

Cameras don’t work due to the light wavelength in Dunari. I’m experimenting with ways to get around this.

Huh! I wish. But I have learned some neat Lavun spells.

This whole world is a treasure. But I'm banned from bringing anything back to Ireland. Big deal. I wouldn’t sacrifice a minute in here for a million euros spending money back home. Being here is like living inside a game. Dangerous and exciting at the same time.

Very. I wouldn’t know where to start.

Let’s just say that if Godzilla appeared at a city gate, the guards wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

I don’t know.

If the authorities ever located the gateway, they’d never make it past the keeper. Not with all the traps.

If there was an unauthorised gateway breach, the gateway would be sealed forever.

Delicious, though sometimes it’s best not to look too closely at it. Eg. Crawfish tastes like salmon but looks like doggie doo. And while Macadam juice gives an incredible energy boost, it tastes sourer than lemons and upsets my gut.

The air is a lot purer here, too. Alpine valley fresh. No pollution.

Dangerous. Some of it, especially the drum beats, can stay for days inside your head. It would drive you nuts. I prefer my smartphone player. Right now I’m listening to Iceage, Kendrick Lamar, Nipsey Hussle, Radiohead, and much more.

I’m learnging a windfall, a pipe that passes through three wooden balls. Right now it sounds like a cat’s wail. But that’s progress. A few weeks ago it sounded more like a string of farts.

No. Invariably, when a highly advanced civilization is exposed to a more primitive culture, mayhem follows.

No. It’s the other way around.

Unlucky for them.

An excellent question. And an excellent phrase. Sometimes I feel like I already am Dunarised. But I plan to retire back home to Ireland.

Ganhook’s beard.  Seriously, though, Spirit Storms terrify everyone.

Can't say much about their tech.

They have electricity, but rarely use it because it can attract Spirit Storms.

They use guns. But lavun based weapons are preferable.

For environmental reasons, fossil fuels are banned. Animals and lavun powered machines are used for transport.

Flying is possible, too. Lavun flight is the way to go. But this is restricted to the Guilds.

Taking to the air in a lavun powered cloud transport is amazing.

The basic power source. It is found scattered across the land. Despite an enormous industry created to find Lavun, only traces of it are ever discovered.

It’s immensely powerful, and immensely valuable.

I use a solar roll recharger. The electrical discharges from my tech gear isn't high enough to cause problems with storms.

I’d love to hear from you.
