Welcome to the world of Neoril, a world still young and full of magic and discovery.

Far to the west of the Old Lands lays the Thousand Islands, long ago a mighty Titan shattered the great continent and scattered the remnants into the lands you find there today, and for centuries they were left untouched until powers of the Old Lands crossed the great sea.

Now colonial powers loyal to Kings, Queens and Emperors vie for control of these new lands, their resources and secrets, along with greedy warlords and piratical raiders, not to mention what stirs beneath the waves and shift within the jungles of these uncharted lands.

You are leaving the Old Lands behind to make a new life in the Thousand Islands, whether you are escaping your past, the constant wars, feuds or the oppression, you are sure to find fame, fortune and adventure in these new lands, and maybe more than you're bargaining for. 

The old gods stir from their slumber as canons roar above the waves.All Rights Reserved

Echoes Of Equilibrium: War Of The Worlds by BenjacksonTroy

In a world where balance is the key to survival, a centuries-long war between humans and demons threatens to plunge the human world into irreversible chaos. For millennia, the rift between the two races has deepened, fueled by ancient hatred and bloodshed. But one demon dares to defy his lineage. Leor, prince of the demon realms of Valek'thar and Zaron, is determined to end the cycle of destruction. Haunted by the legacy of his father, the ruthless Primordial Demon King Aamon, Leor seeks redemption-not just for himself, but for all demonkind. Guided by a relentless sense of duty, Leor forms an uneasy alliance with two elite demon hunters-Shania and Seraphina-and a mysterious god who brings them together. Together, the trio fight to forge peace between their worlds. But as tensions simmer, a far greater threat rises: the Devourer, a chaos-born orb with the power to consume the life-force of entire realms. As they traverse breathtaking and perilous landscapes, the group encounters ancient beings, monstrosities with glowing eyes, and a demon named Azarath, whose neutrality seems odd. The hunters wrestle with their own morality as enemies become allies, and loyalties are tested. When a forgotten god-one who defied existence itself-emerges as the true architect of the chaos, Leor and his allies must race against time to stop a force that threatens not only the mortal realms but the very fabric of all reality. In a world teetering on the edge, love, sacrifice, and the strength of unlikely bonds will determine the fate of all. To protect the balance, they must confront the darkness-both around them and within.

A Knights Realm: Forsaken Rise by HollowFire

The history of Tiseria is littered with ferocious battles. Battles, between the many different races, which threatened to engulf the entire realm. Races and creatures have become extinct, or very close to it, but, no war had been as terrible as the Dark Wars. Over a thousand years ago the Cultists of Volkin tried to bring forth their underworld god into the living realm. They almost succeeded. The cult had been defeated by the allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, and by the Covenant of the Magi. Tiseria prospered and there was general peace in the wake of the Dark Wars. Peace which had gone, relatively, unbroken, until now. The armies of darkness are rising once more. After more than a millennia the Cult of Volkin has returned, returned to finish what they had started. The cult is more devastating than ever, equipped with powers bestowed upon them by Volkin himself. They intend to wreck havoc, spread corruption, fear and distraught, through the kingdoms, and raise their Dark God once again. Releasing a corruption upon the physical realm, and causing the various races to become hosts for evil spirits, the Cult of Volkin is demonstrating their power to all. The descendants of the Covenant of the Magi and Knights Order, combined to create the Order of Light, must once again brave the horrors brought forth by Volkin's minions. Two knights have been chosen to undertake the suicidal mission of reuniting the races of Tiseria and retying the bonds of allegiance between them. The fallen, and dishonoured, Knight-Captain, Ryan Quinn, and the proud, and noble, Michael Crow, must traverse the three remaining kingdoms in hopes of uniting the Human, Dwarven and Elven races once more against the terror that is Volkin. With dungeons, dragons, magic and goblins set to cross their paths, can these two knights survive and what else will they encounter?

Legends of the chosen by TheVelvetNight

Across realms where time bends and shadows whisper, six souls, each marked by fate, walk their own paths-unaware that destiny has woven their stories into a single thread. They hail from different worlds, born of different bloodlines, each carrying the weight of their own past, their own purpose, and their own vision for the future. Some seek power, driven by ambition or vengeance. Others yearn for peace, guided by duty or sorrow. But as the barriers between realms weaken and the tides of darkness rise, an ancient force stirs-one that threatens to consume not just their worlds but the fragile balance of existence itself. Demons slither from the abyss, their hunger unquenched. Shadows stretch across the lands, corrupting the hearts of men. The heavens remain silent, and the gods have turned their gaze elsewhere. The fate of mortals, of realms unknown, now rests in the hands of six individuals who have yet to meet, yet to understand the roles they must play. Will they rise together as protectors of the human realm, forging an unbreakable bond in the face of chaos? Or will their divided visions lead them to destruction, consumed by their own desires and rivalries? The stars whisper of a prophecy. The winds carry the echoes of an approaching storm. Six legends. One destiny. The tale begins.

Pirates of the Endless Sea (LORE, vol.1) by DragonFruitWrites

In a world dominated by vast, uncharted oceans and perilous skies, the Endless Sea is a realm of freedom, danger, and intrigue. Scattered across its waters are countless islands-some lush with life, others desolate and cursed-each with its own cultures, treasures, and secrets. The Tempest Lords, six enigmatic deities, govern the forces of nature, life, and death, their influence shaping every wave, storm, and star. Sailors whisper prayers to Ishna, the Deep Mother, or Tamaris, the Sky Warden, as they navigate treacherous waters, but even the gods are unpredictable, their blessings often double-edged. Pirates rule the open seas, their ships both legendary and terrifying, and their captains are as infamous as the myths that surround them. Among them is Captain Jenkins, The Eternal Sea's Hand, bound by a pact with Ishna and commanding her living ship, The Sea Serpent. Her adventures take her through a dangerous world of rival pirate lords, cursed treasures, and supernatural threats. Amid the lawless chaos, coastal nations, corsairs, and bounty hunters vie for control, enforcing fragile laws that crumble against the tide of piracy and rebellion. Strange phenomena haunt the sea's farthest reaches: ghostly storms, islands that vanish under the moonlight, and creatures as monstrous as the myths that birthed them. This is a world where freedom comes with a cost, where alliances are fleeting, and where the greatest treasures lie hidden beneath waves of mystery and blood. Sailors, pirates, and outcasts alike are drawn to the Endless Sea, chasing glory, survival, and the promise of the unknown.

The kingdoms of Caedland and Saroviya have been at war for centuries, and a darkness has spread across the Northern Lands. In the east, Saroviya has been crippled by fighting on multiple fronts, while Caedland still reels from the murder of its queen's consort and the disappearance of its princess nearly two decades ago. Now, in the war-torn lands between the two kingdoms, a new threat has emerged, an unnatural disease that specifically targets the witches who fight for both kingdoms. In Caedland, a new draft means that young witch Judith Craven must report to the kingdom's capital to join the New Army and begin her training in the military arts. There, however, she soon discovers that her power is not as it seems-and neither is her heritage. Meanwhile, in Saroviya, the king's personal Healer, Alina Kalinin, finds herself sucked into a dangerous political landscape when she is assigned by the leader of the Order of Mages to create a cure for the mysterious new disease that has appeared on her kingdom's border. Even as Judith grapples with awful power and Alina struggles to understand a disease whose origins she soon comes to suspect aren't natural, a group of criminals in the neutral kingdom of Rijkelund set out to steal a sacred artifact from the Saroviyan embassy. But, as they embark on a seemingly-impossible mission, they soon discover that all is not as it may seem, and both Saroviya and Caedland are playing a very different game than it may seem from the outside.
