Worldbuilding

Free Pax States

A loose confederation born after the Pax collapse. Not a country — a network of city-states, trade routes, and mutual-defense pacts trying to stay free in a world that keeps centralizing.

• Political structure: council of envoys, no standing army
• Culture: maker-first, archive-obsessed, skeptical of empires
• Current focus: mapping the border towns and their treaties

Kilumi — Conlang of Urth

Kilumi is the trade tongue of the southern archipelagos. Agglutinative, vowel-harmony, built for clarity over poetry — though it has plenty of both.

• Phonology: 5 vowels, 14 consonants, no tones
• Grammar: SOV, case stacking, evidentiality markers
• Status: working lexicon ~800 words, grammar sketch in progress

More maps, lexicon entries, and short fiction coming soon.
