The Amaranth Legacy Wiki is a collaborative world building project |
The Amaranth Legacy Wiki is a collaborative world building project centered on [[Amaranth]], a force of creation representing the very idea of "narrative." In other words, the wiki is devoted to speculative fiction, fiction in which realism is not prioritized. Whether that takes on the form of magic or future technologies, our wiki is devoted to exploring and refining fictional worlds. With a history of over ten years and (currently) [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] user-created articles, we would be delighted to see your ideas, whether they contribute to existing canons or are a part of your own! |

Any setting, whether a continent or a galaxy, is a huge thing, vast in both space and time. Think about how complicated just your town or city is, now imagine creating one of your own. Daunting, right? |

A vast cosmos in both space and time can be host to an infinitely complex story — a common line of history, magic, and purpose uniting the whole of reality. Within this story is room for a vast array of writing styles, from short stories to analytical retelling of key historical events, interstellar empires, newly space-borne civilizations landing on a new planet, or even medieval tales involving the smallest of scales have a place and each are capable of being equally valuable to the community we have here. |
|||
We are interested in tackling this challenge, but with worlds of magic or space travel. We are proud of our efforts so far, and we have used nearly every writing style, from short stories to articles mimicking primary sources on history (most of which can be found on our archive [https://amaranth-legacy.fandom.com/wiki/Amaranth_Legacy_Wiki]. We tell tales of interstellar empires, brave tales of knights, magic, and advanced technology. In short, speculative fiction usually taking place on fictional worlds or galaxies. |

On the Amaranth Legacy Wiki, numerous different regions of localized lore collect to form a single, coherent narrative spanning countless years across three distinctive universal eras. Primarily the Wiki's scope is on that of a cosmic scale, meaning most articles take place in a science fantasy space setting. However, other segments of the Wiki's lore may only take place only in a small region of space, such as a singular star system, or even upon one planet. Ultimately, the discretion of scope is left up to the individual author. |

| ⚫ | |||
Alongside scope, the amount of ''"realism"'' one wishes to put into their work is also left to the individual writer to decide on. While most everything on the Wiki uses either soft sci-fi systems, or full on fantasy magic, there is room for hard science concepts to thrive on the Wiki. However, something to bare in mind when one is writing hard sci-fi is that most of the Wiki abides by totally foreign rulesets, meaning the realistic concepts one wishes to implement into their work can only extend to their own region of lore, and any subsets contained therein. |

The setting of the Wiki is totally fictional, meaning there are no real world locations, settings, or individuals that inhabit it. Real world names may appear on the Wiki, however they always adopt a different context to its inspiration. This extends to every article on the Wiki, and there are no plans to ever allow for lore involving real world subject matter. |

The Amaranth Succession Project is a single, coherent narrative spanning countless years across three distinctive universal eras.
One of the most prevalent thematic elements of the Wiki is the concept of "Universal Succession," wherein the fabric of the universe will drastically change following a great event of creation or destruction. What defines a separate universe from another is that it contains inherent traits which make it metaphysically impossible for it to exist at the same time as other eras. By definition, this means that all universes are unique and isolated in their own right, however, crossover between them can occur in specific instances. Currently there are three eras of the universe, colloquially referred to as "realms." In chronological order they are:
- Cosmoria, comprising the regions of Aylathiya, Azurullya, Florathel, Lowiras, Sinister, and Zalanthium, surrounding its core, the Lux Aeterna.
- Galvyria, which primarily consists of the two dynamic regions of Caledwyr and Glawiad, representing the foundational domains Hviyam and Aeter respectively.
