Aycilon and LN1421 Wikia



Welcome to Aycilon /LN1421 Wiki
This wiki is my notebook, one that I should have made an effort to make a long time ago. In it contains eight years of work, primarily on the continent of Aycilon and the carefully crafted timeline surrounding it. In more recent times, I have begun to develop the world of Tellirus. Each of them are, in a way, an exercise for my mind, something to fill the gaps in my day when I should be thinking about other things. I see Aycilon as a way of testing my storytelling abilities and my knowledge of geography, whereas Tellirus (in the LN1421 'universe') is more of a test of my ability to fabricate a back-story, to create history, cultures and worlds as a whole.

What is Aycilon?
Aycilon is my oldest project, beginning back in 2006. I was 11 at the time and came up with fictional scenarios at the weekends with a few friends. One of them was never actually played out, and in actuality I rarely speak about this project to my friends even now. This scenario involved a powerful relic which had been broken into five parts, and our weekend game would involve seeking out these parts in the local woods. I was a dungeon master back then, apparently. I wrote the premise of this scenario down in a scrappy notebook and then, at some long-lost point in time, I put pen to paper (or, rather, on Microsoft Word).

The initial story was strange, perhaps uneducated or reflective of my rather active imagination back then. It involved a lost land called Aeyciel which existed in the North Sea. I believe this came to me when I was standing on the coast (I'm from the UK) and I made a comment about being able to see Sweden... I suppose I meant Norway. The Aeyciels were a group of people who inhabited this land, lead by their king and namesake Aeycielas. The Aeyciels were locked in a brutal, dark war with their fallen prince, Akar'vani. The relic which I had made for that roleplay scenario was part of the reason why Akar'vani was so powerful - he used it to look forward in time and anticipate his enemies.

I wrote about two parts of this story out of a planned, and very unnecessary, ten. By this time, I realised what I had written was not worth continuing. Each part was about fifty pages which, I think, was quite substantial for my age, combined with a rather detailed map of Aycilon which lasted a good six years. I tried to develop the story, the second version being written in about 2010, but scrapped that as well. By this time, the continent had been renamed 'Aycilium', but much of the back-story and the plot remained the same. I was constantly searching for something with more meat on the bones, something more mature, scientifically accurate and plausible.

Much of what was written has been lost to time now. The relic no longer exists in the story. The continent has been renamed to Aycilon and drastically changed, so much so that it is almost as though I've started from scratch. Much more effort has gone into the naming of places and people, as well as how the continent of Aycilon, in Earth's Pacific Ocean, interacts with the rest of mankind across the globe and among the stars. I'm satisfied with the foundations I've laid for Aycilon right now, but I'm even more satisfied with how far I've come from the trope-ridden story I wrote as a child.

What is LN1421?
LN1421 is my side-project. There isn't much to say about it - I have no real plans for writing a story based on Tellirus (a world in the LN1421 solar system) yet, but as with Aycilon it has risen out of a hypothetical game. This time, Tellirus came out of my long-standing desire to make a computer game. Even though I've never made a step to actually make it, the world remains in my mind as an outlet of creativity based on a medieval /early-industrial time period.
