"Lennek: Born in Ash, Built for Revolution"

In this episode of Worlds Beyond the Ashes, host Rick Lofton—creator of the 7 Colonies saga—takes us deep into the smoldering cradle of post-human civilization: Lennek.

Carved into the toxic crust of a planet scarred by extinction, Lennek isn’t just a colony—it’s a rebellion forged from sweat, soot, and mutation. With over 17% of its population legally classified as mutant, Lennek embraces evolution where others fear it. It’s where bioengineered miners hunt rare metals like mythryl and pboldevite beneath radioactive crater cities, shielded from the sun and the outside world by sheer necessity.

But behind every breath of mutated air lies resistance. In this episode, we crack open Rick’s original worldbuilding notes and blog entries to explore:

• The hidden histories of Precincts P1–P4
• How Lennek’s mutant population redefined civil rights
• The cultural underground where mutation becomes movement

Whether you're a sci-fi lover, a worldbuilding junkie, or a fan of the 7 Colonies universe, this is your front-row seat to a society where the end of the world was just the beginning.
