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.
But before you go! Please do not be scared of the ink stains. Writing everything down while you are exploring can be pretty tricky. Multitasking was never my strongest point. But what is more beautiful than seeing the fruits of the process, even if it is messy sometimes?

About Àyrngáer
Well, that was a nice intro, but perhaps you have no idea where you are right now and what it all means. 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).
If you want to know more about the background of this project, please go to the "About" page. If you want to know more about the creator, please go to the "The Creator" page. If you are interested in the stage this project is in and what I am currently working on or what is planned, go to the "Development" page for more information. Also, this Guide may be handy to give yourself an easy start.
But before you go further, you must know that I just recently started documenting my notes, stories, photographs and drawings and not everything is quite there yet. So you might encounter some gaps, sloppy writing or utter nonsense, but over time it will be better. Trust me... ;)

Explore
When you read this, many years may have passed. The world may be a different place now. All that was normal for me might be different for you. But doesn't that make the adventure more exciting? To explore unknown places? Your journey may start here on Earth, but it will likely be a totally different one from what you know.
For me, it is the second half of the nineteenth century. I have survived the Napoleonic Wars and seen the end of French rule in our homeland. Kingdoms that were before have disappeared, and new alliances have been formed. Places have been destroyed and rebuilt. People have been born or died. A new piece of history has been written. Please use the portals below to find more information about our world and our motherland. There is a lot to explore. And don't forget our Guide. He might be helpful. Good luck...

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! :) Read more
