Lodestar Issue 01: Introduction

There is a space in the Universe
called the Storywarp.
If the Storywarp were like outerspace (which it's not)
then the stories would be like galaxies (which they're not)

at its center, a core,
the source of the Storywarp.

at its edges is the Great Echo.

each story has a mass, 
the measure of which changes based on how you lodestars shine your light there.
some stories have enough mass to physically orbit the core.

you, a lodestar, come from the core.
you are free to travel the Storywarp, 
gathering adventures, mysteries, suspense and romance, 
the way a sun would gather planets.
and if you dare, you may begin to tell a story of you own.

you should know, not all stories get along
and throughout the Storywarp is a great villain,
a story, of course.
a story of greed and strife
a story of arrogance and ignorance
a story of us and them.

This story has gripped the core almost entirely,
and the lodestars are dimming.

..but not you.
