Tales of Iradathka

Tales of Iradathka is a sprawling Sci-Fi Fantasy world with history and world building spanning tens of thousands of years. It is the primary world I’ve done any amount of work in and thus represents the bulk of my work.

    [This story no longer fits within the modern canon, although some version of this story will be] A sigh rose from the depths of the mountain of papers and pillars of books, blending with the quiet hum of a holo-console.

    Bang, bang, bang. Kaewer kicked the door of the luxury apartment hard enough to get Relia’s attention but soft enough to, hopefully, not leave a mark. The door opened with a soft woosh as it inched back and slide into the wall, opening into a large open space that curved with the bend of the…
