Backstory and Similarities

The Antelope series takes place slightly beyond the known worlds of the Course Books, and in the time of the Course Books is actually part of the Known Worlds. Chronologically, the Antelope series takes place around 200 years earlier.

Ryo's world was first seeded with humans some 8,000 years earlier, specifically by refugees from the Mage Wars, this would put them in the mid-to-late First Chaotic Period.This would be the begining of the slow transition into the Dynastic Period. A story that will be seeing print eventually explains how they fled through an ancient Road in front of the advancing Marcon Alliance.

The Marcons, in turn, play fairly heavily into the history of the Course Books, by epitomizing everything bad about absolute rule.

Ryo's world, meanwhile, was already home to mermaids, and it is heavily implied that they were created artificially as an experiment by the ancients.
