Shizlan is not an entity.
Shizlan is a small speck of stardust, a teardrop floating in space, a point of light symbiotically shared by three meta-level guardians. This teardrop is the cusp that bridges their three dimensions into form.
One light stream leads from Shizlan to a realm controlled by dark imperialism. Here technologies unhealthy for living cells have been romanticized into society.
In the timeline of this realm, the planet Earth was scorched by a massive cataclysm when humanity overthrew the governing malevolent alien race in the First Galactic War of 2151 ad.
As human pioneers explored new worlds capable of supporting the human lifeform, animal consciousness on Earth was accelerated into quantum awareness without their knowledge.
With help from off planet forces, tribal elders and monarchs within the emerging society of animals established an alliance structure of government and eradicated the remaining humans. Upon their return, the human explorers discovered painfully that the planet was no longer under their control.
In this arena is Prince Shizae, the keeper of feline mysteries. Within the form of a Great Panther, he is one of three meta-level guardians linked by a thread of light to the mirrored teardrop that is Shizlan.
