About Thaloryn
Thaloryn is a grimdark sci-fi fantasy universe born from the ruins of Earth.
Long after humanity shattered its cradle, two civilizations rose from the ashes—each shaped by the past, each wielding mana in radically different ways. On one side, the Magical Societies shape mana into life, bending the laws of nature through ritual, symbiosis, and ancient runes. On the other, the Technocratic Unions burn it like fuel—transforming raw energy into relentless machines, industry, and war.
What remains of humanity is no longer human.
Highborns and Technomancers now walk fractured worlds, remnants of Earth’s legacy transformed by generations of adaptation and war. There are no ordinary people—only those who learned to survive.
Both sides depend on critical resources: mana-rich bioplanets or mineral-heavy worlds scarred by extraction. Each side believes its path is right. But some whisper of a Green Path, a forbidden middle ground that could unite what was broken. Those who seek it are outcasts, hunted as heretics by both.
Thaloryn is a story of imbalance, identity, and the price of survival. It explores ecological collapse, the cost of progress, and what happens when entire species forget where they came from.
About the Creator

I’m not a bestselling author. I’m not a polished brand.
In that sense, I’m at the starting line.
I’m just someone obsessed with what happens after we break the world.
Thaloryn began as a thought experiment.
What if humanity was almost gone—but its hunger survived and grew?
What if magic and machines were so different, yet not truly opposites—just two ways of consuming to exist?
What if both were driven not by virtue, but by the need to grow, to expand, to take more?
As a writer and worldbuilder, I’m drawn to contradictions.
I love broken things—broken people, broken systems, broken realities.
They tell the truth better than perfection ever could.
Thaloryn is my long-term project. It’s a place where I explore the collapse of worlds, the grey zones between right and wrong, and the slow decay of certainty.
Through books, stories, visuals, and maybe even games, I want to share this universe with anyone who’s ever felt out of place in simple narratives.
This isn’t about epic heroes or chosen ones.
It’s about survivors.
And the price of what we build when we’re desperate not to die.
