At first, it was just a simple backstory, but - as Tolkien would put it - //"the tale grew in the telling"//. It was a [[timelines:TLIAD]] "...made before TLIADS were cool..." (to quote the author). There are plans for a far longer and far more detailed future remake.

Effectivelly a [[timelines:TLIAD]], again, "before it was cool". ;-) :-D This brief story and history sketch takes the reader into a world where, for some [[alternate history:ASB]] reason, the Doggerland peninsula never got flooded or submerged after the end of the last ice age. The large new appendage of the European mainland completely alters its northwestern coast, creating a massive butterfly effect that creates a completely different historical development for Europe and the world, despite some [[alternate history:OTL]] patterns frequently reappearing.

Petike considers it his primary fantasy setting (as opposed to science fiction setting). Most of the stories are fantasy city fiction focused on the metropolis of Melza, the capital of a small monarchy in a region inspired by central European late-medieval and early modern history.

+//Morar's Four// is a series of cross-timeline crime fiction stories, focused on the titular quartet of cross-timeline smugglers, with a nobler goal than most, and their capers, heists and adventures.

Originally written  in late November 2021 for a non-English story anthology (with the theme of 'Mars'), but later excised from it at the author's request (didn't fit the more specific format, beyond the Mars theme), translated to English and posted to the Writer's Forum in early December 2021.

The setting of //Curly and the Captain// and //Claims// (see above). Though the geography is (or seems) fictional, the nature of the world is more in line with an early science fiction setting. This setting is intended almost wholly for written fiction, though I could theoretically imagine adapting it for some very specific game projects or even roleplays.
