What Is the Zodiverse?

The stars do not speak in words — they sing in stories.

The Zodiverse is where their song becomes form.

Born from twelve constellations, the Zodiverse is a realm-spanning mythos where each tribe walks a different path — fire and flame, stone and sky, sea and silence. Through stories, cards, and sound, this world unfolds not in a single thread, but a tapestry of interwoven fates.

Across planets and pages, from volcanic ridges to endless steppes, each corner of the Zodiverse holds a tale waiting to be unearthed — by reader, by player, by listener.

The Story Begins

A Journey
The Long Road

It was during a long drive on an endless road, with nothing but miles of open sky and the hum of the engine, that a wicked idea slipped into my thoughts. The quiet solitude of the journey created a space where my mind could wander freely, as boundless as the landscape stretching before me. With each mile, I drifted further from the road and deeper into my thoughts, exploring the realms of imagination, mythology, and the cosmos that had fascinated me since childhood.

Cosmic Stories
A Dream of Constellations

As I drove, my mind began to dance through constellations, tracing lines between stars to form images and stories. I thought of the Zodiac signs, each a cluster of stars we’ve given names and meanings, each carrying tales that blend strength with shadow. They were no longer just points in the sky; they became living, breathing tribes, each one with its own heart, soul, and fate. My imagination was alive, painting the night sky with figures that felt both ancient and entirely new.

Zodiac Signs Awake
The Idea of Realms

What if these signs weren’t just symbols of personality traits, but entire worlds—realms where mythic beings embodied the full spectrum of their Zodiac nature? A place where each tribe lived out the strengths and flaws we associate with their sign. I imagined a vast universe where these powerful beings walked, where Aries blazed a trail of courage, where Pisces found serenity in a boundless sea, and where each tribe’s strengths and weaknesses interwove in a cosmic tapestry, rich with conflict, unity, and destiny.

Word of Universe
From Star to Story

In that moment, I knew this world was more than just an idea—it was a story waiting to be told, a saga that spanned galaxies and generations. My mind raced with characters, battles, alliances, and ancient mysteries woven into each tribe’s history. I saw heroes born from stardust, carrying with them the virtues and vices of their signs. This wouldn’t be a single story but an entire Zodiverse—a realm of interconnected tales where destiny, choice, and the wisdom of the stars guided every step.

Cosmic Strategy
The Game Unfolds

And then it hit me: this universe could exist not only in words but also in a game, where players could summon these mythical tribes, wield elemental powers, and experience the intensity of the Zodiac’s conflicts firsthand. What if these characters, with their unique traits and powers, could be collected, strategized, and led into battle? I imagined a card game that wasn’t just about winning or losing, but about understanding the cosmic balance of each sign—a game that embodied the timeless struggle of fate and free will.

A Celestial Saga
The Zodiverse Awakens

That single moment on the road turned into what would become the Zodiverse: a universe born from the stars and fueled by the essence of each Zodiac. Now, the tribes each have stories to tell, and every character is a constellation of their own making, a fusion of starlight and myth. This wasn’t just a passing thought anymore; it was a world ready to take shape, filled with adventures, destinies, and legends awaiting those who dared to explore the cosmos.

A Universe Forged by One

The Zodiverse is created and crafted by Lori D. Zë — a worldbuilder, writer, and composer who believes that great fantasy should not be contained by a single medium.

With roots in ancient myth, a love for the stars, and a deep respect for story structure, Lori builds each tribe and tale with care: their gods and glyphs, their flaws and firelight.

Whether you’re reading the Starpaths Saga, collecting ZodiDeck cards, or listening to the voice of Solon Vale — you’re stepping into a unified myth, imagined from its celestial foundations.

My goal is to create a universe that feels timeless — a world as rich as the ones I grew up escaping into.
