Welcome to the lore archive for Dimidium—a maritime fantasy world where magic fractured five hundred years ago, leaving three domains that forgot they were ever connected.
This page will help you navigate the bulk of this website content.
Looking for the stories? Head to Dimidium Tales on Substack to read all free fiction content set in my universe.
Want bonus content? Ko-fi extras will be available in early 2026—this is how I balance keeping my work accessible while rewarding true fans who want to dive deeper.
Start with a Domain
The best way to explore Dimidium is by choosing a region that calls to you. Each domain has its own magic system, culture, and mysteries:
The Living Coast
Port cities built on tidal rhythms. Crystal matrices channeling power beneath the waves. Siren politics and human ambition colliding in underground negotiations.
→ Start here if you love: Maritime adventure, political intrigue, underwater mysteries, city-based stories
The Dragon’s Spine
Mountain clans where humans and dragons share consciousness. Neural bonds that blur the line between two minds. Weather-working through partnership, not control.
→ Start here if you love: Dragon riders, found family, elemental magic, mental bonds
The Crimson Desert
Seventeen binding circles holding back what was never meant to surface. Seven tribes maintaining ancient practices the other domains have forgotten. Geometric magic and the price of power.
→ Start here if you love: Demon summoning, survival stories, ancient sacrifices, mysterious entities
The Stormwall
The eternal maelstrom at the western edge of the known world. Storm prophecies and pattern reading. The question no one speaks aloud: is it keeping something out, or keeping something in?
→ Start here if you love: Cosmic mysteries, eldritch phenomena, prophecy, the unknown
