On a low-gravity tropical world, two technological civilizations rise from opposite sides of an ancient ecological relationship: the avians of the open sky and the arthropod powers of the living canopy.
Explore the physical world, the two sophont lineages, their distinct civilizations, and the conflict that grows from biology, infrastructure, and incompatible ideas of survival.
Low gravity. Dense air. A biosphere built vertically.
Civilization shaped by flight and three-dimensional space.
Collective intelligence becomes infrastructure.
Predator and prey become rival sophonts.
Two lineages. Two engineering traditions.
The sky itself becomes contested territory.
Millions of years of memory before the first page.
A new multi-book science-fiction universe.
The avian and arthropod civilizations retain the consequences of their ancestry. Flight, respiration, manipulator anatomy, colony organization, sensory ecology, materials and reproduction all constrain what their societies can become.
The central visual rule is equally strict: the world must look like a dense, vertical tropical super-ecosystem where cities, warfare and transportation evolved for bodies that do not move through space the way humans do.
Values are development targets, not final canon until the science pass is complete.
