The comprehensive guide to the races, magic, and philosophy of The Eclipsia Trilogy—written by someone who knows how it ends.
"Look, I know what you're thinking. 'Another fantasy blog. Another lore dump. Another writer trying to convince me their magic system is special.'
Fair.
But here's the thing: The Eclipsia Trilogy isn't about the magic being special. It's about what happens when the magic fails. When the gods are wrong. When the chosen ones realize they can't win—only choose what kind of losing they can live with.
This Codex exists because the story doesn't end with 'and they lived happily ever after.' It ends with 'and they chose to exist at all, which is harder than it sounds.'
If that interests you—if you want to know what it costs to assert existence against entropy, to choose uncertainty over perfect stasis, to become something other than human so humanity can continue—then welcome.
The Codex remembers everything, even the parts the survivors wish it didn't."
— THE WATCHER
If the Aurans were the scholars of the sky, the Scalians were the warriors of the forge. They lived in a literal hellscape and called it home. Discover the Fire-Born Warriors whose King chose to burn his own city rather than fail his people.
Picture this: floating cities suspended miles above the ground, held aloft by nothing but wind and ancient magic. Discover the Auran civilization—the Sky-Dwellers who built their world in the clouds, closer to the stars, closer to understanding.
