Accepting bids for a moon shot

My colleague Ayye Chinusion recently spoke before a conference in Amity about a joint Shirerithian-Nelagan expedition to Tarsica, the moon of Micras. VERA is subcontracting out most of the important tasks of the expedition, and is accepting bids from Shirerithian companies and individuals. For more ...

Hyperborean failure modes

(inspired by Harvey's post here inspired by Ari's post here ; the general topic was What is the worst aspect of your seemingly utopian con-culture? ) Raikoth is much like Tibet: most foreigners are quite impressed by it as a utopian place of enlightenment and happiness, but would be taken aback if t...

The Loss and micronationalism

I've mentioned many a time that I have a parallel conworld for Hyperborea that I set on Earth. I've tried to synchronize the Earth and Micras-based versions as much as possible, so that they're the same culture in two different places, but there's a bit of trouble. First of all, the Micras version i...

Re: Hyperborean Names

I note that although this was declared obsolete, no one has ever updated it. This must change. Modern Hyperborean names are marked by two grammatical curiosities - the first name takes an article, and the second name takes the genitive. The article is -i for males and -e (archaic: -a) for females, a...

Re: Statement of Principle

Minister Jacobus' proposal is noble in intent, but I do not know if harmony can be legislated. If evil came with a glowing sign that said EVIL, one would not need legislation; if there is no glowing sign, and it looks fair to some but foul to others, then the legislation could not be interpreted and...

Re: The founding of Machinaria.

I don't think you messed up Hyperborea at all.

(I do think you might be secretly trying to lure Ari, myself, and Harvey back in by creating a subdivision that combines Straylightian, Hyperborean, and Goldshirerithian principles, but I'm not saying it's a bad idea)

When they told Nevri that he'd won the commission to design the new embassy to Elwynn, he spent the afternoon celebrating. In the evening, he returned to his yurt and got to work. He sipped the special tea his wife had brewed for him. Most of the ingredients were obscure to him; he knew it containe...

Oh yeah, and the locations are, of course, arbitrary for now. But wouldn't it be neat if the place serving as the first great center of the Machinaria society was Citadel?

Craiteland is on the island that used to be Treesia, Raikoth's closest friend and ally. Treesia was Irish-themed. I'm assuming that a Treesian minority still survive on Craiteland and has close connections to Raikoth.
