Welcome wanderer
You are moving closer and are nearly at the door! When you enter, please leave all your words and meaning behind. We are starting anew. I am so grateful that you are here and willing to experience the things I might say. I am still at a loss for words, but you know, the substance will come when time passes. Right now, we have just crossed the beginning. There are so many things to discover. I will try to make it all as accessible as possible.   So you may wonder where you are right now?! Let me explain it a little bit more clearly. Àyrngáer, or the "Field of Stories", is a semi-fictional visual art and worldbuilding project started by Zev Chafer (me:). The project follows a main storyline where you can explore the universe with its places, characters, history, tales and much more through stories, art, music and video. The story is set against the backdrop of Europe between 1850 - 1950. While the exact location is fictional, it draws inspiration from the tri-border area of the Netherlands and the former Hanoverian and Prussian Kingdoms (where I grew up).   I must apologize in advance. This place is still a bit of a mess. Frayed paper, ink stains and a collection of random words and images. But rest assured, I will make it my job to make something out of it. If you want to know more about the world (or worlds) you are in right now, please use the links below. If you want to know more about the background of this project, please visit the About page. If you want to know more about me, the Creator page may be an option. And don't forget or Guide. He might be helpful... Sometimes. Good luck...

Antonius Lutz: This night's frost was so extreme that even at several centimeters deep, the soil is still solid. We had some left over carrots in the garden, but their seem to be frozen together with the ground.

Helena Hahn was born on August 12, 1831, in Prussia. Her father was a farmer, but her mother's occupation is unknown. Tragically, they both passed away when she was only one year old due to a Cholera outbreak, also known as the The Asiatic Cholera Pandemic, that spread from India to Russia and the rest of Europe. Helena miraculously survived and was taken into the care of a group of nuns in Prussia. She grew up inside the walls of a convent, dedicating most of her first years of life to religion.

Status: Ugly phase
Current version: 2.0
Last update: January 7, 2025
Current task: Changing the lay-out to the new version (beware for lots of ugliness :P)

Latest Update

December 6, 2024

Hello there! Today, we've entered a new "ugly phase" of the website. From now until the end of the year, we'll be transitioning from the old layout to the new one. Because of this, some pages might look odd, and the site may be less responsive on mobile devices. I'm working hard to fix this as I transfer all the articles to the new design. In the meantime, I'll also be adding or updating articles for the city of Lutheria, which will be part of the second version of the project. Fingers crossed everything goes well. See you soon! :)
