The Appalachian Institute of the Alternative is an independant research initiative for the research into a located world of Xenot, an alternative universe of ours. They compare and contrast this world to our own, and document the many fascets of it!
In non-larp terms tho, its my method through which I write down and publish a majority of the information about my fictional world, Xenot. This world is a world that is geographically identical to our own, but its history went wildly different. In my head its changes started in the early medieval ages or possibly as far back as the eras of Rome. With such early-on changes a world like this is possible, and by definition something actually similar to Xenot could exist in real life due to the infinite possibilities of the universe which is fucking cool?
But through all of those changes over the ages and the different cultures, empires, monarchs, peoples, and all that, I aim to portray an alternative version of many of those cultures. Some cultures dont exist and some are basically so weird and unique they don't have a real life equivalent. Thats why most of my stuff is about regions of the US and Europe because I know more about those. A lot of these nations also came from country games which of course are typically Eurocentric so doubtless thatll happen that theres more nations there with lore.
Okay listen while this isnt AS in-progress as the other pages, its still in progress. Be patient pls!!!
