In 2016, traversing the thick forests and treey plains of Acualis, I began my journey. I attempted to build a house inside a large old birch tree, grow a wheat farm and build a launch pad for my little starfighter. Despite the mobs, I was reluctant to exit the atmosphere and meet pirates g’lore. It was until they dispersed that I decided to explore the cosmos. I found deserts, hellish scapes, fungal jungles and giant mountains. I settled on Arenstad by Christmas of 2018, and soon thereafter rediscovered old friends. 

Alchemy Mine & Trade, Inc. was an industry-leader in shipblock manufacturing, mining and brewing. We constructed a fortress on Arenstad embedded in the snowy mountains with hangars, towers, tunnels, and industrial farms. Our best-known farm produced fibre-wool in all colors, revolutionizing the economy. In late 2019, pirates began to target our traders. We responded by establishing the AMT Isolators, a military led by four triggerhappy traders. We moved to Quillion, the beautiful island-jungle gem that became undead at night. We lured zombies at night with turtle eggs, and stole their gold and iron to build the national stockpile. 

After many battles, Isolators grew detached from the organization. Some became self-determined pirates, and others went back to the colonial lifestyle away from AMT. The economy slowed as galactic traders began to travel away from StarQuest, to other galactic sectors. I decided to prime my starship and have one last slipdrive jump, setting my cryopod for 4 years dormant. 


I woke up cumbersome and groggy to a dead, cold depressurized ship without landing gear or a slipdrive. Its four pistons had been oriented as cargo-bay holders, while the slipdrive had been reformed into a hyperdrive. Confused, I realized my ship was unlocked, and the computer’s oak sign was replaced with a jukebox. Three years had passed. Who has done this? 

I crash landed due to thruster failure. A wooded, hilly planet with shiny lakes, Ilius  had explaining to do. I found its civilization of droids that explained what I have found. The system of Asteri was one of 7 located in Horizons End, a sector of space farther from the galactic center. After reading about Horizons End, I found one planet that may satisfy my urge to explore. It is called Eden, a planet diverse yet black and white, a planet with a beating heart, yet frozen along the surface. Flying to its system Horizon was simple; it took many hyperdrive jumps but my navigation computer plotted it wholly. The trick was landing on the surface without a sonically-charged shriek sinking my ship. 

Wardens, wardens, wardens. I lived in a frozen blackstone tree for a week. I found that it had coal, so I used torches to ignite my descent to the darkness.I realized the mountains around me would prove dangerous, filled with caves of powerful monsters, so I relocated to the top of a mountain in the Cirque Valley. Over a month, careful footsteps and terraforming with shroomlights allowed me to transform my little Garden of Eden into Bogium, a castle in the swamps, a warmth on the snow, a light in the darkness.
