Time-Debt forgiveness begins with a Contract It occurred to me you might not know that we have a very active and exciting Discord that you can join here: https://discord.gg/9ZWee8DGCa- Mr. GreeblesKandia possesses more citizens than its Lawkeepers could ever hope to police conventionally.

Muscle and MemoryThe Yahow are a playable race of humans in our upcoming Avarice RPG. The Yahow are one of the oldest numan subspecies of Old Humanity. In the primordial age, there were many human subspecies, but they were outcompeted by the First Men who emerged from fabled Ur into the stars. In order to do so, a likewise diversification of their genetics was required, this time with utility and a fear of over-reliance on artificial synthan beings in mind.While it is unclear exactly when the Yahow were first provolved from human stock, it was before the time of the First…
A New Branch of HumanityThis article is meant to explore an aspect of the Morningstar Universe that sometimes gets overlooked: Humanity has not stopped evolving. Both with the benefit of ancient technologies and natural selection, there are now many different types of humans.Just as Homo-sapiens emerged from a spectrum of different evolutionary cousins, “New Mankind” is now just one out of dozens of emergent subspecies, but it is they who determine what is truly human.There are the blue-skinned, protandrian Epicineans that were biologically changed to survive heavy metal environments. The fair Arscolans with their fluted ears and whisker like eyebrows, possibly…
Pirates of MorningstarAs we gear up for the Backerkit for the Avarice RPG, I wanted to share details about some of the goons you’ll be going up against on Kandia. I’ve always liked pirates every since I was a little kid and my dad brought me on set to this pirate movie he was making. Before that my favorite book was Treasure Island, so when I started writing the Index and the foundations of Project Morningstar, I was happy to introduce our own take on pirates into the setting!~ Boman (aka: Mr. Greebles)Morningstar: Crave Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

The Paragons of the Shigue MigrationThe Shigue utilize several varieties of combat frame, known commonly as Gauntlets, or, in the Selo’shig language: Cal’kaan (lit: Strong Fist). Rarely encountered outside the migrations themselves, these machines are most commonly deployed during aerial, orbital, and deep space operations where they can utilize an unmatched degree of maneuverability that far outpaces Hegemon interceptor craft, posing a dangerous vector for larger capital ships if allowed to break through countermeasures. On the ground, the Gauntlet sacrifices much of this maneuverability, serving as a kind of support vehicle intended to hold the line after deployment.Directorate forces refer to…
