The Three Worlds Cycle | comment |
Sci-fi/fantasy series (3 quartets and 1 trilogy) by Australian author Ian Irvine dealing with the "Three Worlds" Santhenar (setting of most the series), Aachan, and Tallallame, and the four humanoid plus one races living there. Quite gritty and realistic; characters range from flawed to plainly insane. The series is also noted for its seemingly random mix of magic and science, and also large span of events.The series consists of: View from the Mirror quartet A Shadow on the Glass The Tower on the Rift Dark is the Moon The Way Between the Worlds Well of Echoes quartet Geomancer Tetrarch Scrutator (aka Alchymist) Chimaera Song of the Tears trilogy Torments of the Traitor (aka The Fate of the Fallen) The Curse on the Chosen The Destiny of the Dead The Gates of Good and Evil The Summon Stone The Fatal Gate The Perilous Tower The Sapphire Portal | |

Farm Boy | |
The Three Worlds Cycle / int_1122ec31 | comment |
Farm Boy: Whim is a 17 year old boy who's the only child of an impoverished farmer. She's invested almost of all her earnings so that Whim can go to the College of the Histories and become a Teller. With his lack of wealth and experience, he's the Naïve Newcomer to the now adventuring old hands of Karan and Llian. | |

Miles Gloriosus | |
The Three Worlds Cycle / int_113472aa | comment |
Miles Gloriosus: Grand Commander Orgestre is the head of the remaining human military forces in Well of Echoes. He loves parading about in military regalia and proudly wears his many medals and accolades on his uniform. Only...he's never been in active service before, he bought his commission as a way to keep out of the frontlines. When he's faced with the possibility of fighting the Lyrinx for the first time, he constantly argued against taking the offensive against them and after a major setback, he leads the retreat while having his underling General Troist do the rearguard. But when the Lyrinx are decisively losing, he's the first and loudest voice to advocate their extinction. | |

Crapsack World: Especially under the Scrutators and Lyrinx invasion. Basically the invasions are so devastating that Old Humans face extinction. For that reason, much of humanity has been coerced into factory work, fighting on the front lines or becoming a human brood mare. | |

Kryptonite Factor | |
The Three Worlds Cycle / int_22ecc839 | comment |
Kryptonite Factor: The Lyrinx are an unstoppable threat to the humans, but they do have some weaknesses that had been exploited. They fear deep water and can't swim, there's a fungus that is deadly to them but doesn't harm humans, and a sufficiently loud telepathic broadcast will knock them out. It's the mindcry, when weaponized, that defeated the Lyrinx | |

Death World: The Void between worlds is so dangerous that only beings that can rapidly evolve can survive. Oddly, Santhenar is one for creatures from the Void. Despite their ability to hyper-evolve, the only organism from the Void to survive are the Lyrinx and that's because they were originally old humans. | |

The Three Worlds Cycle / int_6bcfbc7e | comment |
Fantasy Gun Control: Despite the prevalence of alot of very advanced engineering marvels and Magitek artifacts, the mightiest projectile weapons are catapults and ballistas (though there was an invention of a Magitek laser cannon). It becomes especially noticeable in The Gates of Good and Evil quartet as powder keg technology is commonplace. | |

Black Swords Are Better: The farmboy Whim is given a sword made from an unknown black metal when Llian, Thandiwe and him open one of Mendark's old caches. Besides being lighter than normal, the sword has an enchantment that can sometimes take control of the wielder's arm to make an accurate strike or parry. The sword can also easily cut through things made of ordinary steel. | |

Eldritch Location / Death World: The Void. This is an other-dimensional nexus that is hostile to life and constantly undergoing change. Only those creatures capable of regular physical adaptation can survive there for long. For an idea, the mighty Charon race were reduced to 100 survivors and the Lyrinx were originally human but had to use magic to convert themselves into sphinx-like beings. | |

Biological Weapons Solve Everything: Averted, the Old Humans discover that the Lyrinx are vulnerable to fungal infection and so they try to bombard the Lyrinx underground cities with it. There's not enough fungus to go around and it's easy to contain the infection if detected early enough, so tens of thousands were infected instead of the whole species. But the idea that the humans were attempting to eradicate them, so alarmed the Lyrinx that they mobilized everyone to wage an extinction war on humanity. | |

It turns out to be a big lie, the Scrutators council had long resigned themselves to the idea of not defeating the Lyrinx, instead their efforts have turned to doing what they can to keep power and indulge themselves. | |

The Magic Goes Away | |
The Three Worlds Cycle / int_d91d0365 | comment |
The Magic Goes Away: At the end of Well of Echoes, Tiann fears that the Secret Art's power is too much for any one person. So she globally alters the Nodes that powers the Secret Art, thus cutting off the power for the people and machinery that uses it. This comes to bite humanity back in the ass. | |

Groin Attack | |
The Three Worlds Cycle / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: In The Summon Stone, Karan is on the receiving end of a kick to the groin during a fight between her and a Merdrun magister. It's a powerful kick that lifts her off of her feet and agravates her old pelvic bone injuries. | |

The Three Worlds Cycle / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Averted, after getting captured by Jal-nish, Irsis thinks that Tiann will come up with a plan and fly into the rescue like she always does. Tiann had instead left the area completely and retired to be with her father. Irsis winds up getting decapitated. | |

Human Aliens | |
The Three Worlds Cycle / int_f4aeb714 | comment |
Human Aliens: The Aachim, Faellem and Charon. For the first two races it's to the point that they are considered part of the human race (regular Homo Sapiens are just considered Old Humans), despite all three coming from other dimensions. And every race can interbreed with each other. The list of what's humans gets a little more detailed when it's revealed that originally the Charon were just a splinter faction of the Mariem, a race that shared the world of Tallallame. The other faction of the Mariem are the Merdrun. | |

Battle Trophy | |
The Three Worlds Cycle / int_f863bb6d | comment |
Battle Trophy: After a major battle/rescue, ex-scrutator Klarm claims Ghorr's skin as a prize and puts it to good use. He has it fashioned into an effigy that he uses to rally the oppressed people of Santhenar. | |

Death Seeker: Pilots who lose their control crystals become despondent and even suicidal. This is due to the empathic bond between the pilot and their clankers. | |
