Tales of Dust started as an idea of mine following my immersion in may different fantasy settings. I was always disappointed, that most settings didn’t allow the player or reader to interact deeper then what was presented. Some games and books would even have their main protagonists circumvent the world without so much as a hand wave to the peoples and places they visited as they did so. Now just like our own planet, as a reader I imagined these places to be immense planes of existence each with a myriad of facets and things to explore. Places so full of details that no book book or game could contain them solely by its own. So I would often look towards things like fan fiction to see what else people could come up with to expand these realms of existence. Fan fiction too has it’s limits though and I would often see them revolve around the main characters in the material that was already presented in the original source. So I set out to make a setting with a core set of rules that could be used to build many different stories and experiences within the same setting. As I see it, as long as these core rules were not broken then anything could exist in a setting. It also lends well to a living breathing setting, Just like our own world I hope this world will be made of many different voices and many different world views.
This website is a compilation of this project of mine that I have been working on on and off for the last 10 or so years. It has undergone many revisions and rewrites to eventually become what it is today. I have tried to keep everything as approachable as possible in order to introduce new explorers and creators to the setting but if you have any questions feel free to head to the website and pose them. So get out there, enjoy what has already been made and perhaps even add a tidbit of your own.
