Realm Railway Gauges

Like us, the Realms have their railways and have different gauges for different types of jobs, tourism being chief among them. There are fifteen gauges throughout the Realms, and each has their own name. Just to clarify for those that may not know, a railway’s gauge is the distance between the two rails of a railway track.

  1. 15.25 Zarruks (Minimum)
  2. 24 Zarruks (Cirrus)
  3. 24.4 Zarruks (Pebble)
  4. 1.2 Smargs (Narrow Standard, used in Mountain Railways)
  5. 1.4 Smargs (Mine)
  6. 1.6 Smargs (Ballast)
  7. 1.7 Smargs (Light)
  8. 1.9 Smargs (Harbor)
  9. 2.2 Smargs (Medium)
  10. 2.3 Smargs (Standard, also used in Mountain Railways)
  11. 2.4 Smargs (Iron)
  12. 2.5 Smargs (Boulder)
  13. 2.6 Smargs (Heavy)
  14. 2.7 Smargs (Kingdom)
  15. 3 Smargs (Maximum)

The Realmgates

Built during the Savage Age, the Realmgates have become the backbone of trade and travel between Realms. Each Realm has two Realmgates, one connecting to another in a different Realm. The metal’s color and writing characters tell a person where the Realmgate is located and the color of the vortex tells one which Realm is on the other side, if the single letter on top does not clue a person in for some odd reason. The blue Realmgates are Over-realm based ones with the green vortex set to the Mid-realm and the red one set to the Under-realm. The green Realmgates are Mid-realm based ones with the blue vortex set to the Over-realm and the red one set to the Under-realm. Last, but not least, the red Realmgates are Under-realm based ones with the blue vortex set to the Over-realm and the green one sed to the Mid-realm. If anything were to happen to them, like, say, some mad scientist blows them up, trade would be stop and travel would grind to a halt, so defending the Realmgates is very important to Realmfleet.

Final War Shanty

There once was a ship flying through the skies

Bringing hope to war-weary eyes.

The war raged on, her weapons did fly

Fight, ye warriors, fight!

Soon may the Endeavor come

To foil the last of Dr. Borg’s fun!

One day, when the fighting is done

We’ll take our leave and go!

She had not been two years in war

When from the Depths, evil did roar!

The Princess called all hands and swore

Evil would sink below!

Soon may the Endeavor come

To foil the last of Dr. Borg’s fun!

One day, when the fighting is done

We’ll take our leave and go!

Before the ship had left a Realm,

A vile villain tried to smash her helm!

But then the enemy became overwhelmed,

When Arsha fired down low!

Soon may the Endeavor come

To foil the last of Dr. Borg’s fun!

One day, when the fighting is done

We’ll take our leave and go!

No quarter given, no enemy spared

Arsha’s skill can’t be compared!

Dr. Borg had best be prepared,

For the Depths is where she’ll go!

Soon may the Endeavor come

To foil the last of Dr. Borg’s fun!

One day, when the fighting is done

We’ll take our leave and go!

For forty months or even more,

The cannons were silenced, then roared once more!

All escape pods lost, there were only four,

And still that ship did go!

Soon may the Endeavor come

To foil the last of Dr. Borg’s fun!

One day, when the fighting is done

We’ll take our leave and go!

As far as I’ve heard, the war’s still on

The ship’s not lost and Borg’s not gone!

The Endeavor makes her regular call

To encourage our soldiers, navy, and all!

Soon may the Endeavor come

To foil the last of Dr. Borg’s fun!

One day, when the fighting is done

We’ll take our leave and go!

Soon may the Endeavor come

To foil the last of Dr. Borg’s fun!

One day, when the fighting is done

We’ll take our leave and go!

Realmfleet Flag

The main symbol of Realmfleet, it displays the native colors and writing characters of each Realm. The colors directly between the circles (representing the Realms) show how each Realm benefits from one another. The Central circle represents the combined goals of the Realms and displays that they all benefit from one another. It has become a symbol of unity and brotherhood across the Realms.

Elf Affinities

Elves are some of the most well-known species across the Realms. They usually give themselves an air of mystery by occupying their time in contemplation. However, there is one thing they don’t want to be a mystery, and that’s what makes a certain Elf a Wood Elf or a Sea Elf. Despite what people think, there AREN’T exactly species of Elves, much like there aren’t species of humans. They have varying skin tones as well as varying affinities of the elements that make up the Realms. They always address themselves by their name and what affinity of Elf they are. For example, Elmar would say “I am Elmar Narven, Wood Elf”. Below are the various types of affinities available to Elves.

Earth types

  • Wood
  • Stone
  • Sand

Fire types

  • Blaze
  • Magma
  • Inferno

Water types

  • Sea
  • Ice

Air types

  • Wind
  • Sky

Lightning types

  • Electric
  • Thunder

Love types

  • Lust
  • Romance

Magic types

  • Light
  • Middle
  • Dark

Death types

  • Necro

Balance types

  • Eternity

Life types

  • Health

Drows are considered Elvish, but not really Elves. They have the same affinity types as Elves, just a different culture.

The Wars of the Three Realms

The Three Realms, like any collection of civilizations, has had quite a few wars that marked the turning point of new eras. After casting out Oyed to keep the Realms as they are, the Divine Ones had a vision of how each conflict would start, fearing the beginning of the last war that would lead the Realms to their ultimate destiny. Below are all the wars the Realms suffered, how long they lasted, the impetus for each war, the enemy, how they ended, and the consequences of each war.

    3. All Realms were the enemy.
    4. No victors. Ended when leaders discovered message from the Divine Ones that urged unification and free travel between the Realms.

  • The Final War
    1. Third Age of Unity, 4,006,300,080 to (Unknown end date. Will become the Eternal Age of Unity Year 1.)
    2. Dr. Borg is forever stymied by her limits and intends to break them in a way the Divine Ones would not approve. She contacts Oyed, creates her first Revenant with no damage to her soul, and gathers an army across the Realms to ‘fix’ what the Divine Ones ‘broke’.
    3. Realmfleet against Dr. Borg’s Realm Unity Empire.
    4. Unknown End. Unknown Victors.
    5. Unknown Consequences. All Unknowns will be explained once Final War is over.

Scorpion

An experimental attack cruiser, the BEX-01, Scorpion, is a vessel designed by Dr. Borg for raiding purposes. The first of its class, it’s an experimental ship. It has two claws to grab enemy ships with a docking tube at the front and a concealed weapon at the rear, looking like a scorpion’s tail. The sensor arrays below are modeled after a scorpion’s pectines. The two, blood-red windows indicate where the two helmsmen sit. Not as big as the Endeavor, but it’s enough of a match for it.
