Author’s Note
Wow, the response to the previous entry was better than I expected! I thought that no one was gonna read it and everyone would just say it’s boring as shit lol.
Once again, these notes are part of a freely-collaborative Creative Commons lore hub. Anyone can use the timeline and world of Terra Nuda as a backdrop for their own projects so long as I’m credited and nothing contradicts these official notes. I’m also open to suggestions, revisions and additions, so if you’d like to contribute just comment or send a DM and I’ll add to the notes.
Oh, and while I said these world building notes wouldn’t be illustrated I might actually do that at some point. We’ll see.
Now, on to Ancient History!
