A spoiler-safe codex of the civilizations, technologies, places, and concepts of Iridium Skies. Some entries are partially redacted by the censor.
"We carry the light forward."
The Solarae are one of humanity's far-future branches, shaped by survival pressures, genetic adaptation, and a belief that continuity must be engineered. They preserve ritual, light, and luminous architecture as instruments of memory.
"Discipline is inheritance."
The Novum preserve another answer to humanity's survival crisis: control, structure, and the disciplined continuation of what remains. Their doctrine is precision and their currency is lineage.
"If the sky was taken, we will build another."
Built from defectors and resistance groups, the rebellion carries forbidden navigation knowledge beyond the reach of its oppressors. Their charts end where the censors begin.
Once treated as distant sources of accelerated knowledge, these realities eventually discover the nature of their exploitation. What they decide to do with that knowledge is sealed.
The synthetic remnants are tied to an era when bodies could be piloted across realities and machines became instruments of rebellion. They remember more than the civilizations that built them.
