It’s spring of 1241, and the West is shitting its pants (that’s “bewraying its kecks” for you medieval time-travelers).
The Mongol takeover of Europe is almost complete. The hordes commanded by the sons of Genghis Khan have swept out of their immense grassy plains and ravaged Russia, Poland, and Hungary... and now seem poised to sweep west to Paris and south to Rome. King and pope and peasant alike face a bleak future—until a small band of warriors, inheritors of a millennium-old secret tradition, set out to probe the enemy.
Their leader, the greatest knight of their order, will set his small group of specially trained warriors on a perilous eastern journey. They will be guided by an agile, elusive, and sharp-witted adolescent girl, who believes the master’s plan is insane. But this small band is the West’s last, best hope to turn aside the floodtide of the violent genius of the Steppes kingdoms.
Welcome to The Mongoliad.
Our story unfolds in weekly installments over the course of a year. We've planned out a true epic—the last great epic of the middle ages, in fact--and written a fine chunk of the tale, but much depends on you. We’re hoping you’ll ultimately interact with our artists and writers and share in the story’s creation.
When we can, we'll include extra tidbits of art, video, music and history. Those extras will be made available to premium subscribers, an excellent value--less than the price of a hardback book for a year's worth of story and mixed-media entertainment. We’ll soon be taking subscriptions for app delivery to some of the most popular mobile devices and are working hard to add more.
The user-editable Foreworld 'Pedia is the ultimate repository of all information about our world. Some of it coincides with the world you know. Some does not. We welcome your additions.
It's a bit premature for this announcement, since public information about the Foreworld is sparse at the moment, but this epic has lots of vivid characters who can fan out to fill many, many storylines--and we can't possibly tell them all. We’re hoping you’ll step up and join us in a magnificent venture—the creation of an entire alternate world, packed with real history, speculative history, mysterious forces, alchemy, romance, adventure—and of course knightly mayhem!
If we really like something you've written, we may just add it to the Foreworld Canon. More about that soon.
We, your hosts and guides, are the Foreworld Cabal.
We look forward to sharing with you the resounding battle cry of the OMVI—Alalazu!
