Set roughly in an early 19th century Era Dark-Fantasy World, Gears and Rooks is an anthology of tales and articles focused on world building. The primary origin behind the creation of Gears and Rooks, is my love for fantasy, but dislike of the lack of variety in a lot of fantasy worlds; like the world, like how they are almost always in a medieval setting. Gears and Rooks exists as a unique world that combines the elements of magic, fantastical creatures, and the legendary heroes and villains of fantasy, with the elements of industrialization, technology, and ever-perilous lives of the Victorian Era and the wider scope of storytelling genres the era has incidentally created.

Setting

Gears and Rooks is an anthology that will have tales and articles on people, places, and events spread across a large continent called Inkwerlon. A bloodstained and draconic land, Inkwerlon has endured more than its share in frequent and deadly wars and disasters. The humans and other creatures of Inkwerlon and their nations have been molded by these events, continuing on the violent cycle of the continent's history. Such non-human creatures include:

Elves - a species from the same genus as humanity, the Elves exist as a more predatory counterpart to humans.
Reptilians - While actually being made up of several different species, 'Reptilian' is a common identity held by 4 species: the lizard-like Lacertians, the snake-like Serpentine, the turtle-like Chelydians, and the crocodilian-like Suchans.
Archosaurians - Another common blanket identity of several different species of reptiles such as the Thera, Raptoran, Dactylian, and Thischian.

-== Overview ==
+== Setting ==
-Gears and Rooks is an anthology that will have tales and articles on people, places, and events spread across a period of roughly a century. A largescale war in the old continents at the turn of the century is what brought about this period of industrialization and technological advancements, while also forcing millions to seek refuge in the young nations that make up the new continents. One of these individuals is [[Lulu Knavermoore]], a Corvidian, who after fleeing from the turmoil in the old continents, to the new frontiers of the new continents, became a wandering warlock, having made a pact with the spirit of Cain. Lulu serves as one of the central and most frequently recurring characters throughout the tales of this world, alongside the likes of Matilda and Peyton Snaggle, Harold Fraizer, and Heiko Von Kuriermann.
