Althus

Althus is a planet in an unknown galaxy, and is the primary setting for the story The Band of Stepbrothers.

It is remarkably similar to Earth as far as terrain, weather, and some plant and animal life forms, but lacks the technology. It is, however, inhabited by beings of magical and otherworldly origin, as well as fabled creatures found only in Earth’s fantasy lore.

The Band of Stepbrothers are transported to Althus by a Mysterious Entity and are tasked with a “grand quest” in this foreign land.
