Welcome to the Uis-Valla Universe.  This page is a work in progress. 

Overview

Uis-Valla Universe

The Uis-Valla Universe relates to the Zalaize Cluster which was formed out of star dust in a time unknown. Five galaxies or circles of creation sprang forth with the most important of these being the third circle called the Kuboran Galaxy, home to ten realms. The ten realms are:

Kingdom of Vellig, Kingdom of Malaar, Soulamir Realm, K-73 Realm, Auskan World, Noige, Odonar, Solaris, Bladel Petas, & Oise. 

Books - Gods of Uis-Valla Saga 

The saga books explore Uis-Valla, providing an overview to the Kuboran Galaxy and realms.

Books - Stand Alone

Standalone books explore individual realms & species.

History of the name Uis-Valla

When the original story concept was created, it was simply known as "Guardian".  This idea was developed further between 2014 and 2019.  The name "Uis-Valla" came about from name variations of different ancient Irish sites and at first names like "Uishara", "Ushalla, "Uis-Grohan" were all in consideration to be used for the city realm. In 2019, the "Gods of Uis-Valla" was created as the overall saga title, with "Guardian: Rise of the Gods" becoming the title for the first book.
