City of No End	comment	City of No End is a 2024 Science Fiction novel by Nathan Karnes and the first of a planned series. Set millions of years into a Feudal Future, in the ruins of a endless city that was once so advanced that mankind lost control of its technology, the book follows the schemes and ambitions of six noble houses who are trying to control the election of a new Receiver — an Elective Monarchy which is the only institution that has succeeded at maintaining at least some peace among the squabbling remnants of humanity.The six Great Houses are: House Norn, the house of the most recent Receiver. They rule the Depths below the crust of the City, living in massive fortresses amidst vast caverns. They maintain the hydraulic systems that facilitate transportation and keep everyone alive and oppose the Ascensionist religion of the surface peoples in favor of traditional hydraulic shamanism. However, Aldrich Norn, heir to the Seer's Throne, has recently converted to Ascensionism, alarming his family... House Kendar, who rules the vast and imposing arcologies of Hab Spire Rise, the only part of the City known to be both well-lit and well-fed. They have the most powerful army and are known for brutal aggression against the Norns... but recently, a feud has broken out between Lord Odham Kendar and his idealistic heir apparent. House Leibowitz, who rules the protruding shard known as Dorith's End, a section of broken infrastructure that juts into the howling winds of a malfunctioning gravitational field. Dorith's End is the holy land of Ascensionism, an ascetic religion that commands that humanity restrict its material pleasures in favor of ensuring that every human mind has the chance of salvation through Brain Uploading. Lord Setheus, the head of House Leibowitz, is also the head of the Ascensionist Church, leading many to wonder: is this a corrupt union of faith and power, or is he the only leader with the interests of all humanity at heart? House Djevak, who rules the toxic land of Mold Marsh, a region afflicted by chemical spills and fungal infestations so potent that only highly evolved mutants can venture outside without protection. From their hidden lair in the uncharted mists of the Marsh, House Djevak has built a reputation for espionage and blackmail, and their hidden hand is suspected in most affairs throughout the Realm. House Arktentek, the guardians of Fibre Tower, the last known repository of the ancient advanced technologies. Their guilds of Sorcerers keep many carefully guarded trade secrets which make the Arktenteks critical allies in any conflict between the other houses. House Redmond, the newest of the Great Houses. Once mere mercenary nomads, they made their name and were granted nobility for pacifying the eastern frozen Wastelands and annexing that region under the Receiver. Experts in defeating mutant barbarians, they have recently been contracted by House Djevak against a mysterious threat emerging in Mold Marsh.

However, the current situation in which Setheus is both Lord Leibowitz and High Partaker means they are effectively united under one man.

Zvarakâ€™s horde, which features much more prominently in the books, is an aversion since it comes from the west. However, the Fantasy Counterpart Cultures of the Realm have a bit of an east-west inversion going on: the Wastes are a kind of Wild West populated by Violent Glaswegians, and Mold Marsh draws on Japan, Vietnam, and the Middle East; so this would make the Lowlands Horde fits squarely into the â€œAsiaâ€� of this world. Zvarakâ€™s lieutenant Saloth is even named after Pol Potâ€™s real name.

Where it becomes truly blue-and-orange is its philosophy of facilitating this transfer by encouraging detachment from the material realm and by manipulating society to help guide humanity towards Ascension.
