Hello, Kiran here. I'm the creator of the Urtisia franchise and developer of this website. Less than half an hour ago (as this blog goes out) I had an enormous brainwave (an idea, as some may call it). I figured out what has been holding back the expansion and creativity of the fictional universe which I created: the fact that it is all set in the same solar system.
Two things. One: this is extremely unrealistic. When you think about the actual distance from the central star in the system, it would be impossible to support life on most of the planets. Two: this limits what I can do with the franchise extremely. With only one solar system, you can only have a limited number of planets, a limited number of asteroids and a limited number of species / races.
This is why from the first of January 2016, Urtisia will be radically changed. Most human history will either be flung into the far, far future and / or expanded similarly. All planets will either be renamed, moved and / or completely redesigned in order to accommodate the new slew of ideas. This means that the characters will become more separated, the planets will have more detail in them, and the wiki will grow at an exponential rate.
This massive change will also bring about the change in name for the franchise. The date is the 30th of December 2015 (GMT). The time at which this sentence receives a full stop is 16:57. The solar system is currently named 'Urtisia', which gives the name to the franchise. However, this will change within the first few days / weeks of the new year, and all for the best.
The wiki website's domain will, consequently, have to change too, so please keep an eye out for that. At this moment, very few people know about this website, so I hope that not much disruption will be caused. I will post a Development Log update on the first of January stating the exact changes to be expected over the next year.
Thank you for reading,
