🇵🇸Hello🇵🇸

I am Ahmed Mahmoud, currently living in the completely destroyed city of Gaza🍉. Since the war on Gaza began on 10/7/2023, my family and I have been living in constant fear, crying and suffering because of shrapnel, shells and bullets. We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no home, no cleaning supplies, no clothes. Our house was completely destroyed.

My children’s school was bombed, which deprived my children of education. The war forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents that are not suitable for living, especially in winter. Every day we live death, terror and panic a thousand times because of the continuous bombing of my city. Imagine: we have escaped imminent death more than 20 times, and we have been displaced between shelters more than 13 times. My family and I have suffered from many diseases due to malnutrition, and we need medication constantly. If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we were seriously thinking about leaving Gaza to a safe place. However, the travel costs are very high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. With the skyrocketing prices, rampant unemployment, insecurity, ongoing blockade, and constant bombing, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant bombing and shrapnel flying over us? My dear compassionate friends around the world, with your generous donations, even small ones, you can save 6 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope. Best wishes from Gaza City,❤️‍🩹🇵🇸

Some lore stuff for Tales of Stars and Magic

So a hyperfixation change means me talking about different characters lol. The thing is I also have to explain some lore for TOSAM before I can talk about plot or characters or nothing will make sense so here we are.

Magic So, we’re starting with the magic system. A magic user is referred to as a channeler and the act of using magic is referred to as channeling. Magic is an invisible force that exists everywhere and interacts with all living things. Some people are able to channel it to cause things to happen, but not everyone can. Every species is capable of channeling magic, however not every member of a species will be able to channel magic. Different species have different numbers of their species that can use magic. For example, around 40% of humans can use magic, but 98% of finaalin can channel magic. Someone is either born a channeler or not. There are seven kinds of magic: Fire, water, earth, air, light, dark and mind.

The Creators (or a very, very breif summary about them) The Creators were said to be the first species to exist. They were made from magic itself and they may have come from what was called the Source, although exactly what that was has been lost to history. They travelled the universe for millions of years, and supposedly aided in the evolution of most (if not every) intelligent species, but again, historians are not sure. Information on the Creators is difficult to get for one reason: the Blackout. The Blackout lasted for 10,000 years and was the result of the laws of magic within the universe being rewritten. This was caused by a Creator named Herene, who in order to stop the Devourers (Creators with a defect which caused them to feed on magic, which ever living creature needs to survive), was willing to cause the death of her own species to wipe them out. Creators had to return to their homeworld every ten years to survive, and when Herene changed the laws of magic, the majority of technology stopped working, including spaceships. Usually that would not have been a problem for the Creators, but the changes also locked them into the form of a mortal lifeform, leaving them stuck on whatever world they happened to be on. I will talk about Herene again at somepoint, but those are all the basic details you need to know on that.

The Blackout, Jump Engines and Exploration The Blackout completely wiped out space travel for 10,000 years as species had to completely relearn how technology (and their own magic) worked. The first to redevelop space travel was a species called the tseri, who invented the first Jump Engine, which allowed for what was essentially teleportation. Jump Engines do need time to charge up with magic to successfully do a Jump, and they do have a limit on how far they can go (I’m still figuring out numbers, maths is not my strong point) without the risk of exploding. The time after the Blackout were labelled the Discovery Years as the tseri introduced Jump Engines to other species. Now this period of time was both amazing and terrible due to the spread of technology and resources, but a lack of law and order also led to things like piracy, slavery and crimes in general. DY 442 was the year a new Jump Engine was developed so that they could reach another galaxy in the matter of a few weeks. The travel to the second galaxy did not do much more than add to the already chaotic times and both galactic and intergalactic wars became fairly common. In the year DY 1879, a group of planets decided to band together to form the Intergalactic Alliance, which helped to establish law and order at the time. After the Alliance was formed, the third galaxy was discovered.

The Intergalactic Alliance (aka the IGA) and the Insurgency So, while the IGA started out well, over the 800 or so years it has been around it has grown more and more corrupt. Now I won’t go too into things, but let’s just say the invasion of Ocera is not the worst of the crimes they have commited. I will also go into the exact structure of the IGA itself in it’s own post as this is already far too long. There have been many rebel groups over the years, however one of the largest modern ones is the Insurgency (they actually didn’t name themselves that, it was what the IGA called them and after everyone else started to refer to them as that, they rolled with it). The Insurgency itself is a large group of seperate rebel groups who joined together forming one big group. It was originally led by Ezren Heris, but after her death, Irel took over. On the whole, the Insurgency are regarded as criminals and little information is shared about them by the IGA, which is something Irel wants to change but that gets into the plot of book 1.
