History of the Universe

So i'm slowly developing a series of stories that work in sequence with eachother, its really cool.


My latest idea? A Civilization rising after the fall of a great space-faring culture. So you have these humble farmers on a hillside, looking into space and seeing stars that move, and looking on the horizon to the ruins of an urban area, or someone who keeps a garden in the middle of a city thats been reclaimed by nature. And then their counterparts from another part of the galaxy come to them, and document what happened to them, and leave, leaving everyone bewildered. And then an expedition goes into the heart of a city, or travels throughout the city looking for records, and they discover vast technologies that have been lost to time and machines and all sorts of cool stuff.

Oh, and this civilization is also plagued by falling Sattellites that have been neglected. Maybe. Maybe they'll solve that problem in the future. but it'd make for some cool stuff.

"Another Robot from the sky, Johann?"
"Aye, ruined my corn crop it 'as."
"Thats a shame, eh."

and various other technological malfunctions that plague the humble farmers. Maybe it'll be on Kherdiin, or...Earth would be awesome. But i like to avoid earth. it'll be some other planet. but it'll make for a really cool story, when i write it. i'll devote another post to my make-shift history of the Galaxy.
