Erudite Tales

Erudite Tales is a series of fantasy holonovels by two Dragandr and Avetzan authors. The books chronicle the adventures of numerous characters such as Odeous the lich and Wuji the Frost Elf in the fictional universe of Erudite.

Erudite Tales was published in 2130 AD and has become a cultural phenomenon.

Technology
The text and story were written by the two authors. When the option is enabled, one can enter a virtual environment and assume the role of one of the characters. It does not allow for the same freedom as a video game and is much more story focused. It is essentially live action roleplaying within an enclosed environment.

Setting
Erudite Tales is set in a fantasy universe where planets are most commonly depicted as flat land masses called planes. The space in between is occupied by the dangerous ether which can destroy matter if one does not take special precautions.

Erudite Tales draws inspiration from numerous alien mythologies. For example, the plane of Eidyn is based off of ancient Gaea while two of the deities, Krayhan and Morduin are directly based off of their Jamzezist counterparts.

Plot
Erudite Tales contains numerous subplots, though the main arc centrals around the threat of invasion by the Kingdom of Leir, a powerful desert empire hailing from western Eidyn.

Legacy
The Anathema Prime Suntsitzeagal which threatened the universe in the early 2180s was nicknamed after one of the deities of the fictional pantheon.
