Welcome! This wiki serves as the story bible for the Echoes from Elsewhere web novel series.

Echoes from Elsewhere is a pending series of sci-fantasy web novels, beginning with The Blessed Son. Expect space navies and power armor, with some lite litRPG progression elements, deities, dungeons, and drama. For themes, expect found family, with a focus on friendship, duty, and perseverance.

This story is told in first-person with the main character as the only point-of-view. I like the classic television model, so the main character Conor will be the series lead, with a few supporting roles and other recurring and guest roles.

Book 1: The Blessed Son

In The Blessed Son, Conor briefly survives an eldritch apocalypse, then he and his companions are transported to a different universe where they establish a monarchy and scramble to protect it.

Book 2: The Lost Lady

The novel The Lost Lady is planned, but currently unwritten.
