I think I should use this, to share some of my ideas for GT- Stories, since I never write them down and they always get lost in my head ^^
Most of my stories play on my imaginative planet Terna, which some of you know from my RP-Story "The Time Of The Wall" on Deviant Art.
It is a Planet which is bipartite.
On the eastern hemisphere lives a people called "Grodi", who are very much as big as normal humans from earth. They rely very much on technology and are not very spiritual (although they have respect for their ancestors). After passing adolescence, they lose their curiosity and stop having any ideas for inventions or their technological progress.
The western hemisphere is inhabited by the Tigo. They are a small people, about 5 inches tall. They are very spiritual and mostly have a strong belief. They are curious by nature and can use magic (like healing, helping plants grow, some sorts of hypnosis and some attacks)
Their Problem is, that they do not understand very much about technology and thus can't provide transportation systems for their cities and rely mostly on agriculture.
Each hemisphere and its flora is in scale to their inhabitants, which is caused by certain chemicals in the soil, which keep the plants on the Tigo-side from growing too much.
The history of this planet and the relationship between the Grodi and Tigo are very ambivalent.
In the early ages, the two people slowly started to have contact with each other, but the Tigo often stayed away from the giants, because they were afraid that they would have bad intentions. And the Grodi had not much interest in the tiny people, since they were not much developed.
Later, as the Grodi found out about the magic abilities of the Tigo, they got more interested and slowly started to make contact. In this phase, both peoples recognized that they need each other: The Tigo helped the older Grodi to regain their curiosity and offered their magic to help them.
The Grodi in return, gave very useful technology to the Tigo, which made their life easier. This symbiosis lasted for almost a thousand years and worked well for both sides. The Grodi even built structures in their cities, so that their little friends could live or work there.
But this peace came to an very sad end.
On both sides were people, who did not approve the other race. The Tigo wanted to isolate their country from the giants, to live on their own.
The Grodi thought, they would be superior to the tiny people, because of their size and much more developed technology. These evil minds gained more and more might and by a huge military offensive, they overran the towns and cities of the Tigo to enslave them. Within a few weeks, almost every Tigo was taken away from their home and had to live as a slave or pet for the giants.
For about 250 years the Tigo lived as slaves, but could secretly form an underground army, which started a very fierce war with thousands of victims on both sides. And surprisingly, the Tigo managed to defeat the giants and could free their people.
As you can imagine, the grodi were less than proud about this defeat, but did not want to start another war. So both sides decided that it would be the best to be strictly separated from each other.
This was the beginning of the time oft the wall. A special wall was built, much too high to climb over and the Grodi installed a special energy shield , which was integrated into the wall, so no one could see what was on the other side. Many years went by, and both governments did their best, to make their people forget about what really was behind this wall. The Tigo said the wall would protect them from a giant tidal wave, and the Grodi said that the area behind the wall was contaminated by an evil virus.
And now both had to deal with very unique problems:
The number of Tigo was very diminished due to the war, and they had very much problems to survive without any technology. Also they lost much of their magical knowledge during the time of slavery.
And this caused a certain change for a special part of the Tigo: the "Children of the Red Moon". They are not born like normal Tigo, but appear at special places, when the only Moon of Terna turns red (which happens about six times a year). They can be recognized by their dark blue hair and lack of a belly button. These Tigo are not able to have children, so they can not help to increase the number of their people. That's because they are only allowed to do lower work and have to pay a lot for education, which "normal" Tigo get for free.
The Grodi lost their slaves, on which they very much relied on, so the economy crumbled and almost every company went bankrupt. Now that the Tigo where gone, the adult Grodi lost their curiosity and the technological progress came to a halt. All they could do now, was to conserve what was left from better times. The desolate status the society was in, made many Grodi think of leaving the big cities. But the government did not let them leave, and turned the biggest city, in which 80 percent of all Grodi lived, in a giant prison. No one could get in or out. So the people were ruled over by a very small elite. This elite could only rule, because they had a deal with the Tigo government: each leader got a personal Tigo-slave to increase their creativity, and in return they sent them plans for technological devices.
This time lasted for about 300 years (I will not write how it came to an end, since it would spoil much of my stories ^^)
The wall was torn down and the two people started to live side by side in peace again. Due to their new symbiosis, they could develop very much and could even travel to space. The Tigo even started to colonize the nearby planet Shilef, in which the Grodi had no interest.
Well, thats a little insight to the history of Terna ant its inhabitants ^^
I hope everything was understandable, since my English is not the best ^^;
If anyone wants to use this world idea for their story I'm okay with that. But please tell me if you do so ^^
