Isuja

Last updated January 24, 2023

What is Isuja?

Isuja is a naturalistic worldbuilding project. In other words, we're trying to simulate the evolution of a solar system perfectly realistically, with everything obeying the laws of physics and all the things scientists have figured out about the world. Naturally, this makes it be a lot harder and take a lot longer, but it's worth it for the layer of depth it adds.

Who are We?

We are Henry, Jacob Tang, and Ethan Smith. Here are some quick autobiographies:

Henry

Henry is a conlanger and worldbuilder who plays D&D and writes and reads fantasy stories. He started the Isuja project and has done much work on the life and astronomy of Isuja. His favorite diacritic is the circumflex â or the acute accent á, depending on the font, and his favorite font is Alegreya. His favorite aspect of worldbuilding is culture-building.

Jacob

Jacob is a worldbuilding enthusiast who's new to D&D. He works hard on the Isuja project along with Ethan and Henry and made a rough draft of Isuja's history. His favorite diacritic is the circumflex â, and his favorite font is EB Garamond. His favorite aspect of worldbuilding is spec bio.

Ethan

Ethan is a worldbuilder who is also new to D&D. He spends a lot of time on Isuja, especially the tectonics, and is interested in learning how to conlang naturalistically. He doesn't have a favorite diacritic, and his favorite font is EB Garamond. He can't decide what his favorite aspect of worldbuilding is.

What is the Goal?

Our goal is to develop a world that could have evolved naturally in our universe, with utter realism and obedience of physics and all patterns we have observed on Earth and in our universe.

What is Done?

Currently, we have done:

  • All of the astronomical details of Isuja and the Star.

  • A hundred million years of tectonics. We still have to advance it to the modern world, though. And Ethan has to take 100 screenshots. It may take some time.

As more is accomplished, we will reveal other pages on this website: Isuja's surface, history, and language will all have pages on this site in the future. For now, though, they're still in the works.
