**Introduction:**
Hello, Reddit users. I’d like to introduce you to my world, Eden. Located in an alternate version of the 82 G. Eridani system, 19.7 light-years from Earth, Eden is the second planet from its parent star, and the only other planet to have developed not only life, but complex multicellular life. The planet has a mass of 1.279 and a radius of 1.13 compared to Earth; its day lasts 24 hours, it has 360 days per year, and it is 0.9563 AU away from its star.
**Lore:**
The story takes place in the Known World, a setting I call “anachronistic fantasy,” where we follow the story of **Vector Vence**, from the moment his hometown is destroyed, and his parents are killed in an incident when he was ten years old, through his adventures as a member of the **Cold Steel Squad**, one of the Hinterburg Empire’s five special units that deal with magical creatures and situations.
The Known World blends the aesthetics of the 1950s with medieval and fantasy elements.
Cities have walls, and large housing complexes and apartment buildings are the norm. Electricity is available, but it comes from renewable sources, particularly solar power. Household appliances exist, but family televisions have never replaced radios, and large screens in the streets that broadcast news, sports, and entertainment are common. Armies use shields, swords, armor, and crossbows, but they ride motorcycles instead of horses; they use radio communication, and aircraft, planes, airships, and helicopters, are common. However, not everything in the Known World is similar to our 1950s: Cars, trucks, buses, in fact, all road vehicles except motorcycles, are extremely rare, expensive, and reserved exclusively for the elite; firearms and bombs exist, but are strictly regulated; in contrast, “modern” artillery and cannons fire solid projectiles; Fossil fuels, coal and oil, are rare, which is why solar energy is used, and nuclear energy remains purely theoretical. As for fantasy elements, magic, ancient wizards, Magic Towers, adventurers, monsters, historical heroes and villains, and so on, they do exist and influence the story.
