AXTLAN — THE PLANET OF SEVENTEEN SUNS THIS WORLD IS ABOUT TO KREK UP ITSELF
An original universe of lore, narrative, art and music, built around a planet that lives beneath seventeen suns.

02 A UNIVERSE OF ITS OWN
A WORLD BORN BENEATH ITS OWN LAWS.
Axtlan belongs to a reality with a history of its own. Its peoples, landscapes and forms of life are not future or distant versions of ours: they arose from other matter, beneath other skies and across a time that belongs only to them.
Even so, this story reaches us here and we perceive it from here. We therefore approach it through familiar words, measurements and comparisons: human approximations to a reality whose matter, life and energy follow a natural history entirely their own.
- WHAT WE CAN MEASURE
- Distance, mass and temperature let us appreciate the scale without making it terrestrial.
- WHAT WE CAN COMPARE
- Some relationships resemble familiar ones, although they produce different consequences.
- WHAT WE MUST DISCOVER
- Its matter, life and energy reveal possibilities that do not exist here.

03 OBSERVATORY
THE SKY IS POLITICS.
Seventeen trajectories distribute pressure, light and time around one centre. Every inclination changes the sky; Axtlan, meanwhile, follows its own closed rosette.

A DAY WITHOUT A SINGLE DAWN
One turn of the planet does not bring an orderly sunrise and sunset. Light arrives from several directions and can change character before a journey ends.
RADIANCE, TWILIGHT, SUNSET, NIGHT
Radiance erases distance. Twilight flattens the horizon. Sunset casts doubt over familiar routes. True night comes only when deep shadow remains.
THE SKY LEAVES MARKS
Solar pressure appears in resonant salt flats, obsidian ridges, floodplains, burning vents, and deserts where compasses lose their calm.
LIFE DOES NOT WAIT FOR THE LIGHT
In the deep oceans, heat, minerals, pressure, and magnetic unrest feed ecosystems far beneath the changing surface.
TIME BECOMES CUSTOM
Formation turns it into ritual; Sirocco reads it with instruments; The Rats turn it into procedure. For any traveller, it can separate a safe route from a fatal decision.
THE LAST QUARTER OF THE CYCLE
Era IV spans solar days 78,771 to 105,026. Fronts shift, old certainties weaken, and each culture must respond from its own history.
03.2SOLAR ATLAS
THE SEVENTEEN, ONE BY ONE.
Each sun has a signature, an orbital scale, and a distinct way of exerting pressure on Axtlan. The map’s colours distinguish those signatures; invisible bands are named for what they are.

04 THE LIVING WORLD
THREE DOCTRINES. ONE PRESSURE.
The same conditions do not produce the same culture. Formation fixes, Sirocco reads movement and The Rats turns ruin into flow.
01 / FORMATION
PERMANENCE
Weight, geometry, records and ritual order. Its fortresses do not occupy the land: they attempt to discipline it.
02 / SIROCCO
MOVEMENT
Routes, weather, angle and arrival. It survives because it accepts that no coastline stays still.
03 / THE RATS
FLOW
Procedure, salvage and scale. It turns systems that have already lost their meaning into infrastructure that still processes.
04.2 KREK
IT IS NOT A SINGLE CRYSTAL.
Krek begins as the ground's response to combinations of suns, environment, magnetic retention, substrate and cycle. Some seams remain material. Others take root, raise a pod and open a crown where consequence becomes chemistry.
SEAM
Material capable of storing charge, hardening, filtering, cutting or altering other matter.
POD
The bloom can take root and raise a living structure that responds to its surroundings.
CROWN
The adult crown produces chemistry capable of affecting body, memory and perception.
CULTURE
Medicine, material, labour, ritual, dependence, frontier and war: nobody remains unchanged before its fields.
Varkhaz
Dusty Krek · box-heart · chalk crown
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- A brittle square heart compacts while the outer crystal crumbles into dust.
- IN THE SEAM
- Its powder serves in filters, decontamination and surfaces that must lose their shine or seed a mineral reaction.
- IN THE CROWN
- Silt-Drift narrows concentration and then flattens memory and emotion until routes are repeated without a remembered reason.
Morqul
Oily black Krek · slickstone · night tar
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- A black glossy skin covers the seam; the crown fills like a sealed bowl of dark liquid.
- IN THE SEAM
- It seals pressure, dampens beams and lines canisters or reactors that must disappear in low light.
- IN THE CROWN
- Mirebind reduces pain and fear, but it also quietens breathing and emotion. Relief becomes the trap.
Lythera
Blue Krek · glow-stone · night cluster
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- A blue cluster keeps its afterglow after nightfall; in the crown, the light appears to feed itself.
- IN THE SEAM
- It stores charge and marks routes, beacons and sighting arrays that must remain visible in hostile darkness.
- IN THE CROWN
- Nightflare holds off sleep and sharpens pattern reading; the price arrives as a crash, suspicion and paranoia.
Senqor
Green Krek · live-stone · marsh crown
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- Wet green roots thread through the mineral. The crown appears to have grown inside the pod.
- IN THE SEAM
- It enters filters, living composite walls, medicine and systems that regulate humidity.
- IN THE CROWN
- Rootveil calms the body and quietens threat, but shifts appetite, dreams and memories bound to smell.
Arkhest
Red Krek · heat-spike · step crown
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- A red scar climbs towards heat and ends in spikes or vents: a wound that learnt to breathe.
- IN THE SEAM
- It channels heat through siege tools, breach cutters and overcharge sinks.
- IN THE CROWN
- Wakefire hides fatigue and pain while accelerating aggression. The body feels invincible until it burns out at once.
Vaelprism
Multicolour Krek · banded glass · mirage crown
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- Bands of colour cross a prism that changes with the angle; two observers may swear that they saw different crystals.
- IN THE SEAM
- It reads alignment, separates spectra and feeds filter stacks, mirage chambers and deceptive architecture.
- IN THE CROWN
- Prismveil widens perception until it invents relationships: colour with sound, displaced sequences and insistent patterns.
Ysheret
Ledgerstorm Krek · archive crown · black record
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- Black layers stack like mineralised pages and static runs through the crown as though preserving every impact.
- IN THE SEAM
- Its layers support pressure archives, memory rooms, interrogation and mnemonic weapons.
- IN THE CROWN
- Record Fever compels recall, but the archive may be false; in a group, other people's memories begin to feel like one's own.
FenKnot
Gravity-knot Krek · lock crown · weight glass
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- A dense knot compresses crystal around a dark centre; after a strike it appears to return the force with a delay.
- IN THE SEAM
- It dampens recoil and shock in clamps, gates, penetrators and armoured housings.
- IN THE CROWN
- Locksalt separates pain and tremor from movement; a narrow margin divides control from lethal motor arrest.
Iskaran
Shellshock-echo Krek · witness break · scar crown
- HOW TO RECOGNISE IT
- It grows in battle-scarred ground as a fractured scar; every branch repeats the angle of an earlier impact.
- IN THE SEAM
- It appears in witness devices, memorial engines and tools that awaken a battlefield.
- IN THE CROWN
- Echobloom forces a return to trauma while the present becomes confused with what happened before.
05 MAKING AXTLAN
THE WORLD BEFORE AND AFTER THE WORDS.
Images, music and narrative open different scales of the same universe.
XIXICOR.
CREATOR
06 CREATOR
XIXICOR.
“Axtlan was never just a setting. It was an emotional architecture.”
Axtlan stayed at the back of my mind long before it had a name. It formed through images, atmospheres, systems and questions about ruined beauty, pressure, survival, contradiction and the strange dignity that remains after life has already taken too much.
By nature and by trade, I am a developer. I am drawn to systems, construction, reconstruction and to understanding how things fail and what can be built from the fragments.
I did not want a setting that merely appeared deep. I wanted a place where environment, culture, technology, music and every story could affect one another without losing their own voices.
The structure came before the explanation. Axtlan had to work as a world before it could speak as one.
06.2 WHY IT EXISTS
BEFORE THE NAME, A WORLD WAS ALREADY INSISTING.
Axtlan did not begin as a product or an isolated atmosphere. Images, sounds and questions kept accumulating until they demanded a place of their own.
01 / PRESSURE
SOMETHING THAT WOULD NOT LEAVE.
Inhabited ruins, hostile light, institutions still operating after losing their purpose, and the strange dignity that remains within damage. The pieces began to recognise one another.
02 / CONTRADICTION
BRUTAL, BUT NOT EMPTY.
Severity does not erase ritual, humour, beauty or daily life. Axtlan matters because something may still hold meaning when nothing guarantees it.
03 / INHERITANCE
LIVING AMONG OLD SYSTEMS.
Routes replace certainty and adaptation becomes culture. The interest is not in a single moment of collapse, but in what a population learns to carry across generations.
04 / WORLD
THE FRAGMENTS FIT TOGETHER.
An image called for a story; the story called for music; every answer opened another place. Axtlan had to hold together as a world before it could be presented as a work.
“This is not a world about the end. It is a world about everything that continues after.” — Xixicor / Axtlan

FROM LINE TO PLACE.
Vehicle, faction, and spatial designs move from working geometry to inhabited scenes. This sequence opens part of the visual archive: it is not a catalogue of blueprints, but the trace of how an idea acquires function, scale, and atmosphere within Axtlan.
