Shadows Beyond the S-Wall

AetherVale
For centuries, humanity has lived under an illusion—a veil of powerlessness woven by the rulers beyond the S-Wall. These unseen overlords, the Saints, drain Earth’s mana, keeping humans weak and oblivious to their true potential. The world’s superpowers serve them as puppets, enforcing their rule in exchange for dominance over their fellow humans. But resistance brews in the shadows. In the forbidden lands of Zeta, where ancient civilizations once thrived, a secret war rages between the imperial families and a faction known as Twilight—a rebellion seeking to restore humanity’s lost power. Enter Alexander—half-human, half-Saint, an outcast caught between two worlds. When his father, a former Twilight operative and the bastard son of the Emperor, is assassinated, Alexander stumbles upon a hidden truth locked within a mysterious ring. The memories within reveal his father’s final mission: to overthrow the Saints and break the chains binding humanity. Hunted by imperial assassins and drawn into the deadly power struggle between noble houses and rebels, Alexander must master his unstable mana, uncover his lost heritage, and carve his own path in a world where trust is a dangerous gamble. Will he reclaim the power stolen from humanity, or will he become just another pawn in the endless war beyond the S-Wall? A tale of betrayal, power, and destiny begins.

Star Wars: The Age of Peace

Fifty years after the Battle of Yavin, the galaxy finds itself in a fragile state of recovery. Scarred by the Yuuzhan Vong War and Darth Caedus’s reign, countless worlds and individuals struggle to rebuild from decades of devastation. Amid the fractured alliances of the reformed New Republic, the Imperial Remnants, and independent coalitions, the Jedi Order stands as a beacon of hope. On Yavin 4, the Jedi Temple serves as a sanctuary for Force-sensitive children, offering them a chance to heal and find purpose. Among the new arrivals is Kael Varo, formerly Kael Valtherion, a boy who abandoned his Imperial noble heritage to embrace the path of the Jedi. Alongside him is Vila Saresh, a twi'lek freed from slavery, haunted by her past but determined to find a brighter future. As these Padawans confront their own traumas, they uncover the lingering echoes of ancient threats: Sith artifacts, Yuuzhan Vong technology, and the ideological scars left by Darth Caedus, still twisting others, even after his death. Guided by the wisdom of Grandmaster Luke Skywalker, the young Jedi must learn that being a Jedi is not merely about mastering the Force but about finding unity and courage in a galaxy still divided. ------ Author's notes: Hey-ho people! Welcome to my Star Wars fanfiction, which is told from a first-person point of view. For a bit of background information and what to expect, you must know a few things about me: My first introduction to Star Wars was on VHS, so I am not a newcomer to the setting. I was a child when there was only the trilogy and a teen when the prequels happened. I grew up reading the Expanded Universe and with the stories and exploits of Luke. This story of mine will take place in 50 ABY, right after the Expanded Universe mostly stopped producing stories. Writing it, anything that happened after the Disney acquisition is going to be ignored. This even includes the Mandalorian series because no matter how good the first season was, it was built on a foundation made out of sand. Proof: Book of Boba Fett and the third season. I'll try my very best to stay true to the original vision of what made Star Wars so captivating. Expect weekly chapters!
