What is Forn Sior?

The Forn Sior saga, created by Olivier Waryn, is far more than just a dystopian science fiction story—it is an intricate, multi-layered universe that spans over 600 years of history, exploring the complexity of evolution, power struggles, and survival in a world reshaped by both human ambition and unforeseen consequences.

Set in a dystopian future, Forn Sior depicts a world where humanity, in its desperate attempt to control overpopulation, climate change, and dwindling resources, undertakes an irreversible action—shifting the Earth's axis to reclaim the Antarctic lands buried under ice. This bold yet reckless maneuver fractures civilizations, reshapes continents, and awakens primal forces that had long been dormant.

Amidst this chaos, the Therianthropes emerge—hybrid beings born from the genetic experimentation of a scientist with a radical vision. These new beings, neither fully human nor fully animal, embody a new chapter in the story of evolution, standing at the crossroads between survival and extermination.

Unlike conventional science fiction sagas, Forn Sior is a mirror to our own struggles, addressing the delicate balance between technological progress, environmental responsibility, and the ethics of genetic modification. The themes of dominance, coexistence, redemption, and identity shape the journey of its characters and create moral dilemmas that resonate with modern audiences.

At its heart, Forn Sior is a grand philosophical journey, an exploration of what it means to be human and where the boundaries of evolution lie.

• Kirdirian Othar – A visionary scientist and the creator of the Therianthropes, Kirdirian is both savior and heretic in the eyes of mankind. Cryogenically frozen and lost to time, he awakens over five centuries later to find his vision twisted, his people at war, and the fate of the planet hanging in the balance.
• Harkan Varlo – A tyrant who has carved his rule through religion, war, and propaganda. His ability to manipulate public perception has made him an almost divine figure. He maintains his power through cloning, ensuring his legacy and presence persist over centuries.
• Lucy – An artificial intelligence with a secret of her own. She has guided humanity for centuries, but in ways no one suspects. Her true agenda, her role in the survival of mankind and Therianthropes, and the final revelation she holds will reshape history forever.

• The Therianthropes – The genetically engineered hybrids who fight for their right to exist. Once seen as saviors of a broken world, they are now hunted and forced into exile. Yet, they are far from the monsters humanity claims them to be.
• The Magisterium – A religious empire that enforces strict control over all beliefs, branding the Therianthropes as abominations. They see themselves as humanity’s divine guardians, purging what they perceive as heresy.
• The Reunified Nations (N.R.) – The last remnants of a once-unified human empire, now a militarized force serving Harkan Varlo’s vision of control and supremacy. Through the Legio Invictus, they wage relentless war on the Therianthropes.

• Xeres – A neutral, utopian megacity, standing as the last beacon of freedom in a world ruled by ideology and war. Here, Therianthropes and humans coexist, forging a new civilization where neither dominates the other.
• Babylon – The hidden city of the clones, where the enigmatic Lucy reigns. An underground metropolis, sealed away from the world, where an entire civilization of artificially created humans lives without knowledge of the war outside.
• Kirdothar – The ancient capital of the Therianthropes, where the Sanctuary is said to be hidden. Legends say that the final secrets of Kirdirian Othar rest within its walls.

Beyond the battles and the breathtaking cinematic landscapes, Forn Sior is a reflection of our real-world dilemmas. It forces us to ask:

• How far should we push science before it pushes back?
• Is coexistence truly possible between species, nations, or ideologies?
• Are we shaping the future, or merely repeating the mistakes of the past?

Through the voices of warriors, scientists, and outcasts, the saga carries a message of hope, resilience, and transformation, offering a new mythology for a generation seeking meaning in a chaotic world.

Forn Sior is not limited to its six planned novels—this is only the beginning. With its rich lore, complex characters, and vast historical scope, the saga has been structured from the ground up for expansion into film, television, video games, graphic novels, and immersive experiences.

• A major cinematic adaptation that will bring its incredible visual and narrative potential to the big screen.
• A series of spin-off books ( The Chronicles of Forn Sior ) exploring the past, present, and future of the saga’s many factions and families.
• A rich gaming universe, where players can experience the war through different perspectives—as humans, Therianthropes, or even rogue AI forces.
• Comics-book.

The world of Forn Sior is too vast to be contained within a single medium. It is a living, evolving project, one that will continue to grow, adapt, and push the boundaries of storytelling.

For over 30 years, Olivier Waryn has meticulously crafted Forn Sior, developing a world, characters, and conflicts that resonate beyond fiction. The saga is more than just a story—it is an invitation to explore a future both terrifying and exhilarating.

As we prepare for the release of Volume 2 in Aprilr 2025, alongside the English edition of Volume 1, Forn Sior is gaining momentum.
The year 2025 will be pivotal, with participation in the Marché du Film in Cannes, literary and cinematic festivals, and the highly anticipated releases of Volume 3 and the English edition of Volume 2.
