It is a tragedy that cowards have such loud voices, loud enough to stir a nation, loud enough to reopen wounds, loud enough to steal our progress with terror.
Unawareness, fear and hatred are deadly components in our will and may those of evil keep and suffer the fruits of them.
Let the message they send be muffled, let their words go unheard, may their cause be in ruin by compassion and the goodness of people.
For those that have died won’t have a chance to learn more from life, but in that they attended out of love, their departure is not in vain.
I decided I needed to make an infographic of the universe The Traveler’s Tales takes place in. I went kinda crazy with it, but you know how I think:
If it isn’t crazy, it isn’t worth doing.

Resources on a journey are not as good as resourcefulness and resourcefulness is much lighter on our backs.

Asthear Folnarata by Brian Sage Poplin
Ringed Folnarata and its moon Kaloksa float in the bright space in the core spindle where the great filaments of matter coalesce within Asthear. Ezer placed the world in the very center of Asthear’s spindle to make it the central world of his dominion for all creatures of bright space to harmoniously mingle. Meanwhile Ezer calls the paradise of Kaloksa home.
Concept from The Traveler’s Tales by Brian Sage Poplin.
Asthear is difficult to visually manifest, the idea of “bright space” is complicated, there are no stars, but there is light and inhabited worlds. I spent about 8 hours on the background alone before it looked anything close to what I imagined.
Ikotelko by Brian Sage Poplin
Ikotelko is one of Ezer’s many strongholds in the violent space of Tythear.
Tythear is a gulf of energy between Asthear, bright space, and Shaethear, dark space, created by the mingling laws of both.

Crown World Anra by Brian Sage Poplin Anra is the seat of power within the Anraphet. Its glowing towers are actually ancient migratory ships which brought the ancestors from Tellus. One of Anra’s seven traveling worlds enters the Iridrean in the background. Concept from The Traveler’s Tales by Brian Sage Poplin.
