He wasn’t the first in the field, but today he is the most influential.

They present a natural experiment in why people differ, and the influences…

According to mythology, Styx is the name of a river that formed the…

Motorcars are somewhat common, roughly as they were in the 1920s in our world. There are no planes, but air travel is possible via dirigibles. Jay can drive a motorcar, but prefers not to, finding them loud, obnoxious and dirty. He has never been on a dirigible, as he has not had the opportunity to travel much. A notable ethnocultural group must be mentioned: the qarnot (singular and adjective: qeren). They are a diasporic group that have lost their original homeland and now live all around Mir…
