36 parts Ongoing Rings: symbolic of eternity, continuance, and the cyclical nature of reality -
Ring World is, at its core, a story of two people. Paracelsus, a young man, an alchemist and a former revolutionary, and Serpacinno, the last surviving member of her people, and staunch, no nonsense swordswoman. Together, they form an unstoppable team, sure to change the world.
After a chance encounter at a bar, these two form the beginnings of a crew, picking up the odds and ends of society along the way on their quest. What is their quest? To head to the center of each shell (large, target-like structures found on each face of the earth), and collect the treasure that lies there - a piece of a legendary sword, named Kósmeidí.
Speaking of, the world they find themselves in is one of great magic. Humans aren't alone: animal hybrids, fairies, giants, and even those regarded as angels and demons populate this grand planet. Even the structure itself is different, instead of continents, they find themselves on a world composed of six large land structures, each in the shape of an ever-narrowing series of concentric rings.
