#lore document

Hi everyone! If you missed my last post, I'm back to celebrate a very important milestone: Starglass Zodiac's anniversary! As of today (July 19th, 2025), SGZ is 10 years old!!! Aaahhh!!!!! I could never have imagined what this project would become back then, and I can't believe it even now ;u;

To celebrate, I've created a lore document of this story's magical elements and abilities for your reading pleasure! :D Though I have removed the largest spoilers from this version of the document (as much as I love yapping I have to keep some of my secrets lmao), I still must give a general SPOILER WARNING!!! as those are unavoidable here. Simply discussing the magic system reveals more info in general, including the stories of some characters, and the magic is closely connected to the overall themes of the comic as well. Regardless, I hope you enjoy! :D -------------⭑ You can find the lore document HERE! ⭑------------- It likely won't stay up forever, but it will at least stay until I'm able to create wiki-style lore and character pages for everything in the future :) Either way, no info will be lost between the iterations, even as I make tweaks and additions to this one going forward. It's a lot to keep track of, after all! Still, it is very satisfying to get this to some level of done after so long :'D I'd like to add some visuals for some sections of this document as well!

Perhaps it's because I've been staring at text for most of today to finish this, but I currently lack the words to express how much this milestone means to me ;u; I'm not sure I'm actually processing it fully, haha! Despite my recent burnout, my love for this project remains the same. And if you're reading this, thanks for sticking around for this weird and wonderful journey of mine! <3

Yes, anyone can make a Bighorn! You can follow the lore as tightly or loosely as you want; as long as you have fun with it, and nudge people in my direction when they ask about the species :)

Here's their current lore document, written September 2021;

While not particularly relevant to feline life, it would be incorrect to assume that no other animal has faith in anything but themselves. Starclan isn't the only realm where dead things go, after all. There also exists animals who lack faith entirely, or don't believe that it has any affect on everyday life. With that said, it would be impossible to cover every minutae of every species, as many won't be seen in The Darkest Dawn. You can send an ask on a specific species if one isn't covered here if you're curious about them.

On 16 May 2329, at approximately 11:48, Zenith Syndicate officials reported losing connection to the Andromeda space colony communications. Upon looking up at the sky, eyewitness accounts have reported seeing numerous bright lights where the Andromeda was located.

A few days later on 19 May, at approximately 19:15, large chunks of metal and rock began raining down across the planet, many of which brandishing Zenith logos and equipment among the rubble. Holo City, being the largest point of interest in Libranos, suffered the most damage, with an estimated 27,000 confirmed casualties.

It is currently unknown who or what caused the destruction of the Andromeda, as there is not enough data collected and preserved from before the event. A vast amount of wreckage landed on Kryos, and is thus irretrievable due to harsh weather conditions, alongside the force of impact rendering any equipment inoperable. Should any Andromeda items be retrieved from the Wastedlands, contact the data analysts in sector C-627 as soon as possible.
