Documenting the lives and times of worlds far removed in both time and space, Dreams of Horizon is a speculative fiction series pushing the limits of what is physically possible in order to explore some of the most exotic and wondrous denizens of deep space.

The Horizon System: Praya, the Exotics Author
Striking out towards the final sun of the Horizon System, we chance across a world in its sibling’s image. Though this great leviathan is an impressive creature in and of itself, it serves only as an accessory in the wonderful oasis of life that is the Far Shore of Horizon.
The Horizon System: Physalia, the Miracle Author
Drifting over to the other face of the Horizon System, we find a surrealist vision scattered across five suns and forty-seven worlds. Many are small things not unlike Mars, tiny oases kept on life support by the invisible hands of gravitational giants.
The Horizon System: Cryogenia, the Frozen Periphery
Peruse an icy beauty of a super-Earth, kept on the brink of a deep freeze with the help of oceans doped with poisonous ammonia. Lashed by brutal winter storms and pelted by meteor showers, this dark, chilly tundra is nevertheless a ground for clever biological innovation divorced from the brutal rat race of Horizon.
The Horizon System: Acidianus-Thermococcus, at the Edge of Existence
Regard a pair of acidic paradises, teetering at the edge of habitability. Wracked with volcanic activity and covered in natural nuclear reactors, the metallic, acidic oceans gave birth to a strange ecosystem of quartz trees, metallic gastropod-analogues, and radiation-feeding titans.
The Horizon System: Riftia, in the Shadow of the Sun
Explore a world pushed beyond the brink, rendered completely hostile by a brightening sun. As the oceans slowly evaporated and the surface got hotter and hotter, most life fled the deteriorating conditions by taking to the air, while an exotic domain of wholly alien biochemistry moved into the empty lands below.
