Provider Oasis -
No one could control becoming an archon, much less a greater archon, and for many, losing their "natural senses", as well as simply breathing, caused a disconnection with the rest of humanity that made archons lonely and withdrawn.

Philosopher Caste Recovery Centre -
The Chosen's "Scorched Earth" policy in regards to Corruption did not apply to their own assets, particularly archons. One of the Philosopher Caste's primary duties was cleansing Corruption from important members of the paracology.

Another world for the Larvitar Herculis (HR 6950) system, slowly rotating in it's terraformed majesty
The Columbia River will rise, and at the confluence with the Willamette--the #Petrofuture map of Portland.

Acceptable Collateral Damage -
Chosen doctrine explicitly stated that any "third party" collateral damage was acceptable in the response to even a hint of Host activity.
Continued thread
These things are TRUE for every #HexIsland:
- Each hex spans 6 miles.
- The basic geography of every HexIsland is similar, but climate and other details may vary.
- Every HexIsland is unique - yours could be a tropical lost world teeming with dinosaurs, a low-fantasy Iron Age milieu, or a White Lotus-style resort hiding dark secrets.
- Yet ALL HexIslands are, at least theoretically, connected - whether by hidden (?) portals or other mysterious means. 2/n

#HexIsland
A small game to bring some light to dark times: Let's create #HexIsland microsettings!
Fill the hexes of an island, one by one. Starting TOMORROW , I'll prompt you each day to contribute:
- A hex description
- A random encounter for a table
- An adventure location
- Something extra, e.g. a monster, a piece of lore, etc. Each description should ideally fit into a single post. 1/n

A recently completed city map commission where I was given complete creative freedom within the requirements of the various districts layout and the dragon theme (which I made the most of!).
Homestead Interior -
Although not the norm, "single family" dwellings did exist among the Chosen, usually for people who did dangerous or disturbing work at home.
This week saw the release of Dark Deity 2, a fantastic turn-based CRPG by Sword & Axe LLC. They commissioned me to create the map of Verroa, a lore rich fantasy world that proved a prefect fit for my approach to map making! Such a fun project to contribute to!
Beginning Containment Procedures -
Newly risen archons were at the greatest risk of causing Corruption - Filled with new power, and lacking the experience to realize that actions have consequences. Judges existed to clean up the messes - which had its own risk of overreaching.
Operating Superstars — #Wiki launch! 
The wiki launched a few days ago as a much more practical way for me to continue developing the pages from the original project site and blog.
https://operatingsuperstars.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page
It has only a few pages up now, but I have a clear roadmap ahead that I’m so excited for! I started customizing the design, though my top priority is still porting over and adapting information. The descriptions of the sectors in the Sectors page gives some hints about the updated lore and #Worldbuilding.
Somehow we've come to a point where Space Opera does mysticism much better than High Fantasy.
In fantasy, deities, spirits, supernatural forces, and realities beyond human perception are simple taken for granted. There is nothing mysterious or unexpected about them.
It is very rare that I come across any works of High Fantasy that feel in any way magical or wondrous. 
Outbreak -
There is no 'green' technology, only 'greener'. Similarly, the Judge caste was responsible for a politically unspeakable fact in the Chosen - There was no "pure" soultech, only soultech with less evidence of Corruption.
Another favorite…the #Petrofuture map of San Francisco. Melted ice caps on a vintage Chevron gas station map.

In theory, all castes were equal, but, in practice, the interactions and power struggles could be quite complex.
He visto a @RuthMalan hablando de la "Rueda de futuros" (aprox) y me ha parecido una herramienta muy interesante para pensar en futuras tramas de #Worldbuilding o novelas.
Incluso estaría guay para plantear ejercicios en clase de historia tipo ucronías. Por ejemplo, ¿qué habría pasado si Al-Ándalus no hubiese perdido su control sobre la península ibérica?
Y que los chavales teoricen sobre consecuencias y qué presente tendríamos ahora
