Important news about The World of Aion!

 Hello, It is my pleasure to inform you that my world-building project, The World of Aion is in the final stages of being fully written up, uploaded and polished as a proper website. All being well it should be published tomorrow, and it contains full descriptions of each fictional creature, and extensive lists of familiar fauna and flora that are also found there. Also present are the maps and race-entries from this blog, all of this project's material, old and new.  So please be patient just a little while longer and you will be able to enjoy it in its full glory. For the sake of space I have deleted the original posts from this blog, as everything has been transferred over.  Excelsior as always, from Tim.  - All images, designs and writing on this site are the property of Timothy Donald Morris, do not use, reproduce, or copy them without my permission. © Timothy Donald Morris 2022-2025
