Horizon To Horizon AU Masterpost!
Horizon to Horizon AU Masterpost!
(And some Saints of Eyes and Ears AU too!)
*this is a work in progress, updates will occur sporadically as I find motivation in drawers and under my bed*
A guide to my fantasy worldbuilding alternate universe built around the Hermitcraft, Empires, Evolution, and Life Series SMPs.
Questions are always welcome, and my ask box is open!
The elevator pitch:
The sun rises, and the moon rises, and the sun sets, and the moon sets, all between the Four Horizons of the world. One to each cardinal direction, and each with it’s own continent: Equinox to the North, Solstice to the south. Sunrise to the East, Sunset to the West. Civilizations rule the Land of the Sunrise, the Birthplace of Day and Night. Empires rule the Land of the Sunset, the Resting Place of Day and Night. Hermits and Emperors make peace and war, trade and explore, live and die and make merry in this First Dimension. The Second, the Nether Below, and the Third, the End Above, are lands of danger ripe for discovery. The lands to the north and south, however… who knows what’s over there, leagues past the vanishing point of plain sight?
More in-depth stuff below the cut! Fair warning, ‘tis very long.
What is the Horizon to Horizon AU?
The Horizon to Horizon AU, or more simply Horizons AU, is an alternate universe fusion containing the characters within the Hermitcraft SMP, Empires SMP, and Evolution, or Evo SMP. It is a high-to-mid fantasy setting, with some sci-fi elements when it comes to redstone.
Fics set in this au, in-universe chronological order:
- Among the mountains of everlong, a story about the Stronghold War (3,451 words, unfinished, on hiatus)
- Cracking like a dry branch in a westward wind, a story about newcomers and old debts (24,980 words, finished!)
- A kindling, of sorts, fluff and banter and all that jazz (3,423 words, unfinished)
- Legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the trees, or, 2023 Hermittober Chapters, a story about crime and conspiracy (12,875 words, finished but I haven’t uploaded them all yet)
- Give me back my heart, you wingless thing, a story about prophecies and past tragedies (25,025 words, unfinished, a good ways along, currently working on this one)
- We’ll sing a song of days gone by, a story about the forgotten history that ties Horizons to the Saints of Eyes and Ears (unpublished, hammering it out in private at the moment)
Who’s who in this universe?
Between the Horizons, there are two major groups: the Hermits of the Sunrise, and the Emperors of the Sunset. This AU was made during Season 9 of Hermitcraft and Season 2 of Empires, and more specifically was born from a question that came into my mind during the crossover event: What would happen if the Hermits were tasked with ruling nations, like Emperors?
The emperors are pretty much doing the same thing they usually do: ruling empires. But the hermits are split into two main camps: those active in the crossover, who I arbitrarily chose to rule their own civilizations (as having a civilization for each hermit would be… some nonsense), and those not active in the crossover, who live among the civilizations, but do not rule. A full list of Hermits and who they are in alphabetical order follows:
- BdoubleO: The Lord Bee Double Oh of the Moss Throne, moss-faerie, ruler of Livingstone
- cubfan135: The Sovereign Cub Fan Voidstars of the Red Rock Crown, half-vex infected with sculk, ruler of Climbing Spires
- Docm77: The King Doc Mk-77 of the Deepfang Crown, goat-folk-faerie, ruler of The Maw
- ethoslab: Wanderer and freelance redstone technomancer, ambiguous canine-folk
- FalseSymmetry: The Lady False Symmetry of the Darkwood Throne, human(?), ruler of Umbra
- GeminiTay: The Queen Gemini Taylor of the Crown of Needles, deer-faerie, ruler of Evergreen
- Grian: The Sitter Grian Sunset of the Dusk Throne, parrot-folk, ruler of Sunset Coast
- hypnotizd: Mercenary and eyes-for-hire, bat-folk
- impulseSV: The Emperor Impulse Esvee of the Emerald Throne, cat-folk, ruler of The Labyrinth
- iskall85: The Vice-Mayor Iskall Eighty Five, wolf-folk, second-in-command of Iceberg Metropolis
- iJevin: The Crown Prince Eye Jevin of the Clearwater Crown, thinking slime, ruler of The Watering Hole
- joehills: The Administrator Joe Hills of the Other Throne, just a guy, ruler of Elsewhere
- Keralis: The Mayor Keralis of the Blue Ice Crown, wolf-folk, ruler of Iceberg Metropolis
- MumboJumbo: Chief Engineer and Technomancer of Technicolor City, plant-faerie
- PearlescentMoon: The High Priestess of the Throne of Histories, llama-folk, ruler of Great Acacia
- rendog: The King Ren Dog of the Crown of Vines, wolf-folk, ruler of The Tangle
- Skizzleman: Official cross-ocean diplomat between the Hermit Civilizations and the Empires of the Sunset, parrot-folk
- Stressmonster: Wandering trader of information from the little creatures of the world, butterfly-fae
- TangoTek: The King Tango Tek of the Basalt Throne, third-blaze-third-stray-third-human, ruler of The Neverglades

- Zedaph: Freelance wandering inventor and mad scientist, half-sheep-half-chicken-folk
- ZombieCleo: The Duchess Cleo of the Everfrost Throne, zombie, ruler of Permafrost Springs
And the Emperors of the Sunset, too:
- fwhip: The Duke Fwhip of the Icicle Throne, polar-bear-folk, ruler of Glacier Way
- Jimmy Solidarity: The Trailblazer Jimmy of the Throne of Dust, horse-folk, ruler of Frontier
- Joey Graceffa: The Lord Protector of the Petal Crown, sniffer-folk, ruler of Paradise Mountain
- Katherine Elizabeth: The Maiden Queen Katherine Elizabeth of the Powder Snow Throne, human, ruler of Skytouch
- LDShadowLady: The Lady-Defender Lizzie Shadow-Lady of the Glowing Crown, firefly-faerie, ruler of The Waterways
- MythicalSausage: The Guardian-Emperor Mythical Sausage of the Underthrone, human, ruler of The Thicket
- Pixlriffs: The Emperor Pixl Rifra of the Verdant Crown, parrot-folk, ruler of The Emerald Lands
- Scott Smajor: The Emperor Scott S. Major of the Gilded Crown, half-husk, ruler of Solis
- SmallishBeans: The King Joel S. Beans of the Ivory Crown, goat-folk, ruler of Undermoon (an Emperor in this AU)
- Shubble: The Great Librarían Shubble Shade-Stander of the Copper Throne, fox-folk, ruler of Great Aurora
- TheOrionSound: The Marcher-Lord Oli Sounder of the Crown of Grasses, llama-folk, ruler of Cross-Country
Also kicking around are the members of the Evolution SMP, who are not hermits or emperors, most of whose characters are not entirely fleshed out as of writing. Their descriptions will be updated later, and all are parrot-folk:
- MiniMuka, technomancer
- InTheLittleWood, diplomat and brother to Grian
- Nettyplays
- bigbst4
- SalemsLady, Sensor Systems Operator
- Tomohawk
- systemzee
- Taurtis/Joeyish, Shrieker Systems Operator
And what is the Saints of Eyes and Ears AU?
The Saints of Eyes and Ears AU is… sort of its own thing, and sort of a part of Horizons. It is a retelling of the events of the Life Series SMP through a semi-historical, semi-legendary lens as the cosmology/history of a religion known as Livolutionism. It is mostly based on the history-legends of Christianity, more specifically Catholicism, as that religion is the one I am most familiar with.
The elevator pitch:
In the time before time, when the world was small and the gods were close, an endless line of descendants of descendants lived and died under a sky full of eyes. Saints and sinners, lovers and enemies, bitter rivals and soulbound comrades have lived a thousand lives beneath the watchful gaze of the angels above, and demons below. But what an angel or devil is up to interpretation, as are their opaque intentions.
This will probably get its own post later down the line.
Okay, what are those legends?
The events of the various installments of the life series are collected into various books, which are self-contained tales that each follow a specific Saint, the winner of that particular installment, and the world and people that grow and flourish and crumble and die around them. The books and their Saints are as follows:
- The Book of Thirds, surrounding the life of the Saint Grian of the Desert Sun and the Red Winter War
- The Book of Lasts, surrounding the life of the Saint Scott of the Endless Stars and the Trickery of the Boogymen
- The Book of Doubles, surrounding the life of the Saint Pearl of the Shadowed Moon and the Bonds of the Soulmates
- The Book of Limits, surrounding the life of the Saint Martyn of the Stained Mars and the Chaos of the Clock
- The Book of Secrets, surrounding the life of the Saint Scar of the Blooming Earth and the Keeper’s Whispered Words
- The Real Book, a disputed scripture, surrounding the life of the Saint Cleo of the Fading Comet and the Repeating Lives
- The Book of Cards, surrounding the life of Saint Joel of the Turning Wheel and the Luck of the Draw

happy (very late) birthday empires smp!!
(this ended up taking thirty hours and forty minutes)
close ups and alternate versions below!
• ❝ This taste like azaleas. Good, but really, really bad. ❜ - Ageli
14 | AFAB | 5'0 | Pink Sheep Shapeshifter | Rivendell 'Citizen' / Local Bardic Kid
❁ Not exactly one to listen to gossip or news very often, but is very sus of the demon and how she doesn't seen it around the town as much as others.
❁ Can and will eat almost anything on dare or not
❁ Will not actually tell you her name, has a strange concept of names and nicknames and considers pronouns extra nicknames, and that (a) name/s is what only a specific person or others call you. Ageli was the first name she ever received/remembered, thus the name she associates with a lot ( and you'll learn when you figure it out. ) She doesn't mind what you call her, though!
❁ Brings her guitar almost everywhere, and it looks like it has stuck with her a lot.
❁ Loves any story others tell her, and will remember them by heart.
❁ The horns were made as a means of intimidation and design, given to her by a local craftsman she inherently annoyed once. She loves them a lot, and especially loves wearing them when in sheep form, just to look like a horned sheep.
❁ The fur on her clothes are extra wool shavings from her own wool, knows how to sew.
❁ Will randomly pick a local and follow them around.
❁ Was a wanderer/traveller as a kid, now settled in Rivendell because hmmmm neat but still travels often. Snow is great, its amazing, but what about that nostalgic little summer grass you can eat??
Let's do this, then!

I’m tagging @cyanroads@the-aromantic-snake and @sadstressedandachild
I adore how the fandom seems to agree that Pixandria was unaffected by the explosion and chaos of the finales.
And I’d like to add some things
For the rulers who remain alive, but have left. The tiny trails of smoke their candles produce will forever travel in the direction of the soul they represent.
But for the ones who have died, and this time will not return through the normal means, the candles no longer light when Pix sparks his flint and steel.
The ocean queen’s flames are dimmer now, as though her spirit remains but has gone through a magical change.
Unless taken into the nether, the candles for the Wolf Spirit point towards the nearest portal.
Pix smiles when Gem and Fwhip’s candles cause two lines of smoke to combine together, proving they’re staying by each other’s side.
Pix struggles to learn of what happened exactly to the ones who didn’t make it, or where exactly the wanderers will end up before they settle down again, or if the next time their candles stop pointing in a new direction they will simply be blown out by fate.
He’ll pack away the lightless candles, storing with them books of what they had accomplished in life, and he’ll track the paths of the remaining ones as far as the maps brought to his kingdom will allow.
But he’ll remember all of them for as long as he lives, because he’s capable of doing so when no one else is.
Lovely picture!! Thank you for tagging me, Cim

I've realized something.
Something while I turn off my minecraft, staring down on my screen after (probably) a solid hour of first creating a new world on the game, the first I've touched the game itself in a good half year of watching youtube, to look around the generated world in creative.
However, I decided something inside me just clicked, and I switched to survival with nothing but a bow and arrow for fun.
I shot animals and stole their meat, died two times on my first night, got on a boat and rowed through two island stops, ransacked an abandoned dessert village, attempted to mine a cave(I may or may not have turned peaceful on real quick due to almost dying at the mouth of the sand), vibed in a village without raiding it, and settling on a majestically made mountain top before saving and quitting.
Its hitting hard how I had fun throughout the whole thing. I first did this because I wanted to get on track to getting good at the game, but now it didn't really matter. I had fun, I may have conned a bit, but I had fun. After so many years of watching minecraft and minecraft youtubers do this with skills they've culminated throughout the years when I've barely ever played myself, I feel a probable bite of nostalgia now for some reason. To when before turtles were there, to when before the raw iron were still ore blocks, to when coppers weren't there yet or any of the sort, to when I was still a kid watching the game through a video.
Dangit guys I've gone emotional smh
I've had this AU in drafts for a long, long time. It's functionally a world I've been really wanting to build up properly and share, but so far it's only stayed on dms and small mentions to friends.
It's a super hero au that I've proxy named "State of Faces", for it was originally going to take place in an entire state but I fixed it onto a city now. I have two versions: Discord friends edition and the real reason I made it, The MCYT edition
The MCYT edition is what I'm very invested on!
i'm fuckin not okay bestie hey these songs are banger oh my god I'm never recovering from this never no never i'll die grieving this and there is no way I'll sleep well with this on my memory scarring me forever I can't believe you why can't we have good things
