In TheMagTower, you saw the clash of Terran armies ravishing Rendaraia for its cultural relics.
Now, in TheGreatNationsofRendaraia, go back to the beginning, when the Great Nations stood as proud hubs of civilization, arts, magic, science, culture, and manufacturing.
But now, those Great Nations have been destroyed by an unknown enemy far more powerful than any imagined in Rendaraia before these dark times.
Are the Terrans responsible for this death and detruction?
No one knows…
From a cave in a seaside refugee camp, the aging scholar Jan'Ka'Zian tries to write and illustrate all he remembers of the Great Nations before he, too, meets whatever fate befell his home, his husband, and everything he once held dear.
⏳Your Time Is Running Out!⏳

As a backer of our most recent Children of Gaia campaign, we want you to be one of the first to hear that we just launched our next campaign from this epic sci-fi/fantasy series…
The Great Nations of Rendaraia, 2nd Edition
Great Nations was the first book we ever published…and now it’s almost sold out!
So, rather than just reprinting it, we decided to make a gorgeously revamped second edition, featuring:
Recomposited, updated—stunning!—artwork
Re-created, easier-to-read font
A gorgeously remastered cover
A brand-new foreword from professor and Ringo-nominated cartoonist, Ryan Claytor!
With your support, we know this stunning sci-fi/fantasy book will bring the world of Rendaraia to life in many readers’ hands.
About the Book
The Great Nations—Arilyness, Lithicus, Mithera, Danrock, Noda, and the nomadic nation of Hodgeskeen—are the largest civilizations in Rendaraia. Together they form a union spanning the vast, magical realm of Rendaraia.
For centuries, they have stood as strongholds of culture, magic, science, and military strength.
But by by the year 4209, the Great Nations have all been wiped out, and occupying Terran armies are advancing throughout the lands.
The intrepid scholar Jan’Ka’Zian, now a refugee living in a cave, sets out to record a complex network of intertwined cultures on the edge of destruction…before it’s too late.
Jayel Draco’s gorgeous illustrations present a vivid picture of elaborate cityscapes and mountain vistas, vast skyfaring fleets, and fantastic flora and fauna.
The campaign just launched, and we’ve only got two weeks to make it a success—it ends on August 31!

Hello Children of Gaia fam!
We've just returned from the post office, where we dropped off physical rewards for the Mag Tower campaign!
That means that your rewards should be arriving in the next week if you're in the US, or in the next month-ish for those outside the US!
Can I Track It?
If you're getting physical rewards, you should have received an email with shipment and tracking information when we created your shipping label.
If you haven't gotten that email, and you want to track your package, just let us know! We'd be happy to send your tracking number along.
About The Great Nations of Rendaraia
The only reward we have not fulfilled is second edition paperbacks and PDFs of TheGreatNationsofRendaraia. That's because Jayel is still hard at work updating the art on that book!
So, if you ordered a copy in print or digital, or if you won a copy in our giveaway, you won't be receiving that item just yet.
But never fear! We'll send out the digital and physical copies as soon as they're ready, at no additional cost.
And even better, you can watch Jayel's progress live! He live-streams on Twitch every Tuesday and Thursday evening from around 5:00 - 9:00 pm Mountain Time. On those streams, he refurbishes the art for GreatNations! You can tune in to any stream at https://twitch.tv/jayeldraco to watch his progress.
We can't wait to see your game books, comic books, and coloring books in your hands! Send us photos when they land!
